Brownwood coaching candidates.......

[Lion_Addict]

Narrowing it down to 3 today. Announcement will be at 5:00 p.m.
Should be interesting........... :thinking: :thinking:

[Looking4number8]

To no ones surprise, both Lion Addict and I will be 2 of the 3 finalist.

[BwdLion_80]

I was told that you 2 were #4 and 5. Just missed the final cut!!!:eek: :doh:

[Dogman_1969]

They should go after the guy at Rogers. I don't know if they could get him but i think he is a good man and is a quality coach and since it's a move up to 3A from 2A may be interested .

Hmmm...call me crazy, but I would think they would be looking to go a different direction, and get away from the "we talk a big game" approach.:rolleyes: But, what do I know?:confused:

Good luck, boys!:D

Plenty; the new coach is going to be anybody from Lion Addict to Wade Phillips. It is anybodys guess at this point. They are supposed to announce the 3 finalist today at 5:00. I'm sure one us from The Wood, most likely Beast, will post the names on here as soon as it is made public.

It is now posted on www.brownwoodlions.com but it has not been announced on the radio yet so I will wait until I hear if from them. Although the Brownwood site will be pretty darn accurate. One of the names is very well known and respected throughout Texas

[BwdLion73]

:thinking:

[cr180t]

Shipley? I have tried to get on the Brownwood site and even registered and faxed stuff to them. Can you PM them to me?

Your Welcome.

[Looking4number8]

Crude, I did not want ot be the one to post it on here without hearing it on the radio but it is 5:20 and they still have not had the press confrence. The finalist are............................


Bob Shipley

and

Glen Jones

[cr180t]

Thanks - I

[Looking4number8]

It is on the radio now and the two names posted are correct.

[Lion_Addict]

Decision hopefully by the end of next week. Both have family here. Gonna be interesting. :thinking:

[mwynn05]

Why would shipley leave coppell brownwood cant pay him what coppell can and his son is going to be jr and has become somewhat of a standout at a 5a program i will be surprised if he takes it

two reasons,

1. He has family here and

2. BROWNWOOD ROCKS!!!

[Cameron Crazy]

Hmmm. I'm curious as to why he would go to Brownwood. Wonder if were going to see some rivalry inbetween Graham and Brownwood now?

[ccraker]

Here is the entire list of applicants:

alot of good coaches on that list.

[Daddy D 11]

It'd be neat to see Shipley return to 3A.

Yes it would. And it says a lot for 3A to see a big time coach like that return to these ranks.

I will be happy with either coach but right now Shipley has my vote.

Ive actually spoken with Bob recently. He's not very happy at Coppell. Without giving specific examples, he's used to football being head and shoulders above everything else at Burnet, while that's not gonna happen at Coppell. So, he wants to get to a place where that's already in place.

:thinking: Thanks for sharing man. :)

[westcoast54]

I've heard a very interesting twist to this deal and NO I'm not trying to stir the pot. I have heard that where ever Shipley lands, Brownwood OR Georgetown, McCoy will be joining him too. This is all heresay but my source is reliable.

Not getting my hopes up for this one because that would give us two great coaches and an awesome (I assume) QB, Wr combination again.............. I love the spread!

I wouldnt be so sure of that.

[STANG RED]

Why would McCoy leave an HC/AD job at a great 3A town to go be an assistant for Shipley at another 3A?:confused: Makes no sense to me at all. Especially since it appears he could have a great team in Graham next season. With the McCoys there, I really think Graham could contend for the district title and a long playoff run next season. Seems like going to Bwood as an assistant would be a big step back. I just cant see this happening.

I can't either, but stranger things have happned. McCoy was 3-7 last year and I have heard rumblings that some people in Graham are not happy with him. I would think that he might apply at Sweetwater before coming to The Wood as an assistant.

[Lion_Addict]

:thinking: Thinkin that would be a combination that would make the rest of 2 3-A "mess" their trousers :evillol:

But werent they very young at most positions? They were much better than most 3-7 teams by the end of the season. I think he has built a very solid program in the short time he has been there. Now would be the time to enjoy the fruits of his labor it would seem to me.
Coming to Sweetwater would just be making a lateral move wouldnt it? I dont know why he would want to do that either. But like you said "stranger things have happened". It'll be interesting to see how all this shakes out for sure.

Looks like if Shipley comes to Brownwood, y'all might see some immediate success. What offense does he, or did he, run at Coppell?

[Lion_Addict]

Honestly.....I think we'll probably be talking about Jones more soon :thinking:

I don't know about next year. But, I wouldn't be surprised if
Brownwood has a freshman starting the following year. I saw
him play this year on the 7th grade team. He's already got the
size and poise of a sophomore.:thinking:

Even if it was meant as a jab......definately a great point! Whomever comes in as Head Coach and Defensive Co-ordinator have gotta get that side of the ball solidified as in the past.
On offense, think we'll be getting back to running the ball much more.......at least for awhile ;) . Just my opinion.......which doesn't mean squat!

I think that many of you guys are discounting Coach Jones a little bit in the euphoria of thinking about Shipley. I mentioned early on that I thought that Coach Jones would be a good fit. He has won just about everywhere he has coached...including winning in some places where the talent was a little thin. His teams play hard-nosed defense and smash mouthed offense which would harken back to the glory days of Brownwood football. This is also a destination job for Coach Jones...I am not so sure about the other guy(s)...Brownwood needs stability and not someone who may be looking for the next great coaching gig. Coach Shipley may be the sexier pick...but it may not be the best pick for the long-term success of the Brownwood program. Just a little food for thought from someone who doesn't have a dog in this fight...

It's on the street, net, in the buildings, gyms.......it's everywhere man. Think we know who it's gonna be. Can you say "Wing T"?
It's coming. Let's just hope "hell's coming with it"!! :devil:

[vet93]

The Wing-T may be "old school" to most but I know that when run properly it can be a very effective passing offense. I would say that based on Coach Jones' past...he leans towards a run oriented offense with a great deal of deception in the backfield. The offense is probably quite similar to Liberty Hill and their schemes. He will pass though if he has the athletes to carry it off. One thing that I think the Wing-T does give is a little more consistency. It has been my observation that spread teams tend to be much more inconsistent with a feast or famine like result. When things are going well...you roll, when things are not going well you roll over.

Personaly I like the spread. Our offense this year was so cool to watch... and we watched a lot of it. Some of the catches kids like Parker, Shelby and Travis made just made you understand why you love to watch football.

If Jones does get hired and we start to a more run type offense that would be creat too. We are loaded with running backs and a really good running QB for the next couple of years.

Whatever turns out this week (coach wise) I will be very happy. i look forward to the 2009 season and beyond!

[vet93]

I enjoy watching the spread too (my team ran the spread this year and I really enjoyed watching it)...From a pure football standpoint...year in and year out...it does put your defense in some pretty precarious positions and can sometimes wear them out. I prefer the forms of the spread that can effectively run the football when eating up the clock and giving your defense some rest is needed. Good luck to the Lions on whatever decision is made...two fine coaches.

[slingshot]

I like to razz the BWD posters but I do know they will end up with a good coach either way on this decision... both are fine choices though markedly different in their approaches to offensive football. From our (Wylie's) standpoint I guess I slightly lean to Jones--we seem to do better against predominately running teams. With Shipley in there... Whoa! Could you imagine the fireworks every year between him and Sandifer in district play?!

[vet93]

Interestingly when Coach Jones left Ballinger...the Ballinger dominance of Wylie came to an end. I don't think that Ballinger beat Wylie after he left....I know Ballinger's declining enrollment and Wylie's expanding enrollment didn't help, but it is interesting that he was the last coach to beat wylie (several others came close later though... Danny slaughter and Mickey Owens).

From our (Wylie's) standpoint I guess I slightly lean to Jones--we seem to do better against predominately running teams. With Shipley in there... Whoa! Could you imagine the fireworks every year between him and Sandifer in district play?!

For the first time in a long time, we have a stable full of top quality running backs. A Freshman was moved up in the last part of the year and he is going to prove to be a real man among boys. As for a QB, we will be in very good shape. Have one that will be a junior next year. He has a good arm and is very very moblie. No doubt we will not be throwing like we did this year but look for us to continue to air it out and well as a much improved running game no matter who the new coach is.

sounds like yal will be fine offensively. what about defensively? that seemed to be yals weak point this season.

I think establishing a good running game will be key to future success. If for no other reason, it will at least give your defense a chance to catch their breath and rest those tired legs some late in games. I bet yalls defense spent 3/4 of most games on the field this past season, especially against good running teams. I know Sweetwater was getting huge chunks of yards on them late in the game. Those boys were just simply worn out from being on the field way too much, and that spread offense (awesome as it was) was doing nothing to help them out any.

[latticat21]

Running the ball has its upsides, but definately also has its down sides...

Yes running the ball keeps the other teams O off the field and doesnt allow the D to catch their breath, but running the ball usually reduces the chances of a big play...

having played ball 4 LH, a prodominant running team. Running the ball was perfect until we fell behind, and our bread and butter 10 min long drives then became our downfall and we were not able to produce the big plays to win the game

I think that many of you guys are discounting Coach Jones a little bit in the euphoria of thinking about Shipley. I mentioned early on that I thought that Coach Jones would be a good fit. He has won just about everywhere he has coached...including winning in some places where the talent was a little thin. His teams play hard-nosed defense and smash mouthed offense which would harken back to the glory days of Brownwood football. This is also a destination job for Coach Jones...I am not so sure about the other guy(s)...Brownwood needs stability and not someone who may be looking for the next great coaching gig. Coach Shipley may be the sexier pick...but it may not be the best pick for the long-term success of the Brownwood program. Just a little food for thought from someone who doesn't have a dog in this fight...

Don't worry about long term, he only needs to use the team for two years, after that it won't matter.

I understand what you are saying but I would assume if Coach Shipley was looking for a place to promote his son, he would stay where he is at. His boy was 1st team all district as a sophomore in hs current 5A district that included SLC. I would think moving here would do more harm than good for his son.

I can see it happening. If it does, it will be the Shipley/McCoy/McDaniels show in Brownwood for the next 2 years. McCoy QB, Shipley WR, McDaniels RB. Everyone else on the team will basicly be the supporting cast.

No question about the talent of these young men or the coaching ability of Shipley and McCoy, but the sad truth is that there will most likely be far less opportunity for those talented kids already on the team. If there are currently players in these positions, I'm betting they will most likely have to step aside.

This combination will be great for Brownwood in the short term, but it's just my opinion that it will not be a long term solution for the Lions.

I don't see anything "sad" about it. Also don't see any "truth" to it as of yet.
The way I see it, if this was to be the case, that would only fire the kids up more to work even harder to get that spot. Also believe those "talented kids already on the team" are as you said..."talented" enough to play in other spots.
And I gotta just say, I love the thought of having plenty of "Depth" ;)

I seriously think so. Already been told that several of the Juniors that decided to not play.....are wanting to come back. Yes, I know there is controversy about all that, but that will depend on what the new Coach feels about it.
And we were durn young last year. With the JV players (some good 'uns at that) that will be moving up, it will help. :)

I wish Brownwood nothing but success, but lets talk again in 2 or 3 years and see what your feelings are then. Hopefully the experience will turn out to be a good one for you. But then if you don't have anyone on the team it may not make a difference to you one way or another.;)

We have a committee. The committe was carfully chosen by the Brownwood Mafia. The committe consist of me, Lion King, Lion Addict, Bwd Lion 80, Rocket, Beast and Trashman.

We are now down to a 3-3 tie on who will be our next coach with Lion Addict vote still to come. We are hoping he will sober up enough sometime today to cast his deciding vote but we do not yet have our hopes to high on this.

Its not short time talent that I'm talking about. Its short time development of the team. All stops being pulled during a short time while a few headliners are on the team, then a gradual loss of interest and decline when their gone.

I think a good example of a short term program development and a long term program development would be Burnet and Liberty Hill.

Other than Burnet's headliners in 02 & 03 there was really no difference in talent at either school. Burnet and Liberty Hill were both loaded with talent during this time. Its not about talent.

It's about one team that continued to develop their talent and program and one team that started to decline very shortly after the headliners left.

Coach Vance wasn't there just to promote his own kids, he was there to build a long term successful program. The results are history.

[olddog73]

Well its a done deal. Good luck to you Brownwood. I hope this turns out to be a good experience for you.

There has not been an "It is Official" from the school board yet, however it seems that from all the runors and people in the know and people that claim to be in the know that it is Shipley.
From what I know they will make it "Official" on Thursday when the school board meets.
As far as the points that old dog is making.....I have to agree.
