Don't know if it's true or not, but I just heard that Coach Jackson is putting his name in the hat for the Amarillo High job. Can Anybody back this up, or put it to rest?

One of my friends that is a retired coach. He's a friend of Coah Jackson. He didn't say that he had heard anything from Coach Jackson about it, except through the grapevine on his own.

Well to all the people who think Coach Jackson is such a bad coach why don't you apply for the job when it comes open, and then we can all talk on the boards about what a crappy job you do. It is easy to sit up in the stands and think you can coach. When you have 100 victories under your belt then I think you are knowledgable enough to criticise his coaching ability. Coaching develops talent not the other way around. Sweetwater is lucky to have such a fine man as Coach Jackson, get off his back!!!!!

You Blast Snyder Stadium when it is better than 90% of all 3a stadiums in west texas. At the same time YOUR own Stadium was paid for by SNYDER , LUBBOCK, ABILENE , ECT .. Tax money.. YES SNYDER TAX Money helped to build the mustang bowl. so the mustang bowl came as much because of money taken from SNYDER tax payers as it was because of SWEETWATER tax payers. ....... all that and you INSULT the people who paid for your place and belittle your nieghbors who paid for your house!! LOL .... NO dont thank us... at this point just be glad you recieved OUR tax money to build YOUR house and keep your mouth shut about it..... But to blast our house when we were as much responisble for the funds that built yours is rediculous..:clap: :clap:

I totally disagree with you, There are teams in the big country area who have very talented athletes but can't even make it into the playoffs or beyond the first round(I am not talking about Snyder, they have a very good team and coaching) because the coaching cannot develop the talent that they have. I can't believe there are people on here complaining, Sweetwater made it to the Semi-Finals, At my last count there were only 4 teams that did so in 3a Division II ball. I wonder if any of the nay sayers could do a better job? Do you think that you can just step out onto a field and orchestrat a perfect ball club? You have to deal with discipline problems, egos, parents screaming at you constantly because your not playing their kid enough or in the right position, administrators, and just the plain ole' fact that 15, 16, 17, and 18 year old kids have a mind of their own and think they can change up what play the coach called. Coaching high school football in Texas is a tough job, give it a try and then let's see how well you do.

The key word is COACH, like i said before you could pull 1 name out of a hat ,filled with COACHES names and any 1 of them could have done what Jackson done if not better, with the talent Sweetwater has.

WOW some of you Sweetwater people are spoiled. You have a great role model and leader at your school and you want to run him off because he only got to the 5th round? Do you know how many schools would kill to make it that far?
The Tatum/Sweetwater gamed proved to me that the players, coaches and fans of Sweetwater are great people and I have to believe that Coach Jackson has to be mostly responsible for the players and coaches. You were a class act all the way around.
I'll agree that the offense was too one dimesional, but when you have two horses in the backfield like you had then theres really no need to get cute with playcalling.
Thats my two cents, congrats on a great year SW, I hope we get to play you again next year.

That's true about the 2 horses ,but 1 of them averaged 11 carries a game and the other 1 only averaged 8 carries. In my opinion neither 1 of them were used properly. most coaches would have giving them the ball at least 18 to 20 times a game. especially if you only throw the ball 4 times a game.

This is going to make some of you who don't like Sweetwater happy for me to admit but you are right. We are spoiled. We are used to winning and we haven't gotten the big one in a long time and even then only once and it leaves a bitter taste in our mouthes every year. From growing up in Sweetwater and being around all the people there I have learned one thing. We think we are the best (and if not then we think we should be). I haven't met many around the city that are happy with failure (and that is what not winning is). In any competition, whether it be for a job or a chess game, the goal is to win, to beat the other guy and when we don't do that (particularly in football since that is what this board is made to talk about) we believe we have fallen short and it upsets us. We are spoiled people who feel that anything less than being the best is a failure. I'm sorry that that upsets some people.

I fail to understand why you believe the Sweetwater talent pool is so great. How many of these players are now playing football on any level? If they had been such a stud group would not more still be involved. Get real. We do have a dedicated group of young men who want and know how to win, but to say anyone could have come in and done the same thing is at best short sighted and at worst totally imbecilic. We are not the Dallas Cowboys when Barry Switzer took over from Jimmy Johnson; wish that we were.

Do you suppose they only averaged 11 and 8 carries a game because we have other people who can play football? We are not the Sweetwater Banyard/Green's we are the Sweetwater Mustangs, A good coach does not just use the two horses, He spreads it around to other people who can produce also. I seem to recall that we did try and pass in the Semi Final game and got picked off, If Sweetwater would have continued to throw the ball and continued to get picked off then you guys would be complaining that we threw too much and did not run the ball enough. Sometimes teams are not throwing teams because they do a better job at running the ball. Just face it yes it is nice to win, heck, who doesn't want to win, I don't think anyone goes out and says "hey boys lets try to really stink this up today!" Does it pain you to admit that yes, Tatum has a better ball club than we do. They had a great line with 5 D1 propects on it. There is a reason why they beat us. They were just good. The Mustangs did a great job at holding there own. They did not get blown out all over the feild. They had a fast defense that could get to our runners and get through our offensive line quickly, not because we had a horrible offensive line but because we met a better team. Do you ever just watch a ballgame for the love of watching a ballgame with an open mind? I bet you might enjoy the game much more. A game is just that a game, we lost, they won, move on.

And yes he is a fine man ,there's alot of things i like about him as a person.But the last 4 yrs. i have not been very impressed on his ability to coach a football game , sorry but the truth hurts and some people, i won't say their names, can not take the truth.You might be able to convince some people that the talent level here is average at best, but for the majority of people who really know talent when they see it , I should think not. One thing i heard Stapler say when i played for him,was that he knows that he is not the sharpest tool in the shed, but he do know talent when he sees it, and he made sure he put the right people in the right position, his words , IT'S JUST THAT SIMPLY.

What the heck are you taking about woman, check out some stats around the state ,alot of teams run their best backs alot and still include their other players ,it's called smart coaching. 1 example. MONAHANS - SAM GRAVES carried the ball 20 or more times a game and roberson around 17 a game did they leave the other guys out , I DON'T THINK SO! it's just the smart thing to do,and their coach knew his best chances of winning was to put the ball in their hands alot.

I think that when tatum beats Hutto for the state championship game tomorrow, by a larger margin than what Tatum beat Sweetwater, I think a person could technically say we only lost to the state champion by 13 points. It wouldn't surprise me to see Tatum defeat Hutto by more than that.
Bottom line then is Sweetwater just happened to lose the state championship to the Tatum, a team that has 5 Div. 1 players. I don't think there is much shame in that.
That leaves me with a pretty optimistic feeling for NEXT year.
I think we can all admit we were knocking on the door but next year, we are gonna bust the door down!

Shadow...I think that you have been drinking too much Spread the Red Koolaid...Coach Jackson and staff have done a great job in developing the talent at Sweetwater. Yes, you have several backs with speed but your interior lineman, from a physical standpoint were hardly anything to write home about and yet week in and week out they stood toe to toe with much more physically talented athletes and were successful. That has alot to do with the character of those young men....but also has alot to do with coaching. Tatum had better athletes at almost every position, and yet Sweetwater played well enough to win (especially in the first half). Because Sweetwater runs an offense that is not the latest fad (read spread or some other passing offense), then everyone thinks that the coaches can't coach. I personally prefer a balanced offense, but it is kind of hard to argue with the results. Every offense has there problems. A passing offense can blow up in your face if you start throwing interceptions or if the other team gets a great pass rush. Also, in high school if your qb goes down, then you are toast. With the wishbone a strength is that you can get the ball to alot of backs and that is exactly what Coach Jackson does. If Banyard is clogged up then Green on the corners is a possiblity or #36 on those quick hitting dives or the midline option with the quarterback keeping the ball. The point is....Coach Jackson does a great job and should be commended in doing so instead of picked apart after missing the state championship by ONE game.

Green didn't make All-District? That really is sad. That kid should have at the very least been All-State Honorable Mention, if not 1st or 2nd team All-State. Banyard too.

Don't slam me because I am a woman, I have been around Coaches my whole life, have you? When you have only one stud player you use only one stud player, When you have more you spread out. duh!!!! MONAHANS LOST TO US!!!! hmmm so the give to SAM GRAVES all the time thing did not work we keyed on him. Do you coach? uh I don't think you do. I didn't say don't give it to them I said we have a lot more talent than just them. READ the whole quote. I said we are not the Banyard Green show we are the MUSTANGS and we have alot of talent and a GREAT COACHING STAFF!!!! That is my opinion, I am allowed to have that or are you afraid that a women might know just about as much or more than you do about football?

Thanks Lew, but the fact of the matter is, we don't expect to much when it comes to recognition of SKYE, not around here.Long story short: The things we here, he's an only kid , he's spoiled, his attitude is bad, he thinks he's the whole team, why did they buy him that new car, he's selfish. GET THE POINT! So we are cool with him not getting 1st team all district, now maybe some people will enjoy their christmas this year.

I also think that Green should have made the all-district team, he was a wonderfully explosive player. It is a tough district to get recognition in due to the big 3 schools in the district. Sometimes the coaches at the district meeting really struggle to pick kids because so many are deserving. However, I don't think that we can blame that on poor coaching. Lets face it...Sweetwater had 5 people (if not more) who could tote the mail.

Vet , I believe you can see why it would be a difficult place to coach. I have to say Jackson does run a simple but solid Offense. BUT, Heck he has won alot of games at sweetwater and not because of pure tallent. yes he has had 4 straight years with a threat every year in the backfield that is exceptional. But other than that they have not been physicaly dominant over everyone by any means.. they people in Sweetwater are going to Jump out of the frying pan right into the fire if they are not carefull. they may run off a good coach and then end up with one that is not so good... ever heard the phrase " if it aint broke dont fix it " ???? in any event it would not bother me to see the whole show take a slide to the gutter..:D

I have watched my son stand on the sideline, I have two grown sons who played high school ball, they were both in the same class, one was an outstanding player, he made all district, from his sophmore year on, my other son hardly ever got in the game, did it hurt to see him on the sidelines, you bet it did. Did I complain to the coach, no, I knew there was a reason that he didn't play that much, Football was not where his talent was, I knew that, I did not think he was the next Manning or whoever else. I supported him and his coach you see I don't have a degree in coaching so it is hard for me to judge the coaches decicsion. Yes, We also have a son who is much younger than our two other boys who now plays football, Is it hard for me to see him stand on the sidelines? you bet it is. Do I respect the coaches decision, you bet I do. Even if I didn't my son does not know this. We expect our children to respect their teachers and coaches reguardless of the decisions they make that is called respect!!!!
Can I play the peacemaker here?
I think all the comments this morning are very valid and understandable. Even Black Magic's...LOL
The bottom line is, we Mustangs need to begin TODAY to start plannning on next year's run.....if we don't, we lose.
We have to be like a family....share the load here. I don't claim to be an expert by any means...but one thing I do know is...we gotta be a team! These comments being aired in public for even the Snyder fans to see can't be healthy.

MONAHANS LOST TO US!!!! hmmm so the give to SAM GRAVES all the time thing did not work we keyed on him. Do you coach? uh I don't think you do. I didn't say don't give it to them I said we have a lot more talent than just them. READ the whole quote. I said we are not the Banyard Green show we are the MUSTANGS and we have alot of talent and a GREAT COACHING STAFF!!!! That is my opinion, I am allowed to have that or are you afraid that a women might know just about as much or more than you do about football? Don't play that woman card , Women can do whatever men can do ,you should know that in this day and time. Maybe you should go back and read it over ,i read and understood every word. You responded to something i wrote concerning the carries those 2 had per game, and decided to make it something else. Now i will say only a woman could do that. Just because you been around bad coaches all your life doesn't mean you don't know what you're talking about.
