MattStepp Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 Just my two cents, I think Palestine needs to follow the Chapel Hill/Kilgore/Lindale model, young high energy guy who can galvanize the kids and community....if I was involved thats what I would personally push for...

I'd say someone under the age of 45...just think a place like Palestine the type of kids they have needs someone with energy that can bring excitement and juice...the guy still has to coach but I think energy and life is needed as well...

I agree, youthful exuberance is a much needed quality at most programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inittowinit Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 It would be wise to pluck a coordinator from one of those schools. They are similar to Palestine in many ways and know how to be successful. Palestine has the talent, just needs the road map to get there, which these schools know how to do. Especially Chapel Hill. The staff there has got that program going again quickly to huge success. Can't beat going 2-8 to State Finalists in 5 years, 2 time State Semi Finalists before that. Kilgore is rock solid almost yearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the statement and might add that with that exuberance needs to be a maturity factor that can deal with little Johnny’s parents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been living in Kilgore for 20 years now and have missed maybe 5 or 6 games total. In the last 20 years, Kilgore has missed the playoffs one time. We are not Longview or Carthage, but it's somewhat remarkable how good a team Kilgore can roll out there year after year after year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsfan122316 Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I bet they go with a HC that has some East Texas ties, I don’t see them taking a chance on a coordinator. Probably someone that is an HC already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
