Wow. Good Luck to Coach Nelms at Weatherford. This surprised me. I would look for Wimberley to get a ton of coaching applications. Great Program, Community and Fan Support. Code Red is Awesome.

Shocked and sad. Hope Coach Smith and the rest of the staff are able to stay. I wish Coach Nelms all the best. I know he will do well.

Surprised too. Wonder what they pay the head Kangaroo with his credentials?
I would hope that he's just looking to get paid (for his retirement) or better yet moving closer to home or parents/children.
Hopefully, it's no sign of the state of Texan football. I wonder if he might recommend one of the assistants or better to leave that to the board?Last edited by 1st and goal; 02-05-2013 at 11:49 AM.

This is a shock!
One thing that is constant is change.
Best of luck to him in his new position.
I am sure there will be a flood of great applicants for the Wimberley job.
With the community support and tradition, it has to be one of the top spots in the state."Hay in the barn is like money in the bank"

I just went to Weatherford for the first time ever on friday regarding work. It looks like a small town growing like CRAZY as the metroplex moves west.
I also went through Stephenville on the way from LH, first time there, It looks like a good place to raise your kids.... they meet the criteria: (1) good schools, (2) good community and (3) the big one, great football program..... what else do you need......

Well after the Bellville game I went and stuck my head in the dirt. lol But I had to come back out someday!
I heard coach Smith and coach Fikac are going for sure as DC and OC. Also heard there might be another.
I am so glad that my son got to be coached by Nelms and his entire staff all the way through his Jr High and High School playing career and I am sure many other parents feel the same.
Wimberley has been blessed to have such a fine coach with a great winning program from top to bottom. It is sad for the underclassmen, BUT I can only hope they will hire from within and keep some of the Nelm's ideas and attitude in place. The great thing about Nelms program is the staff. There is not 1 or 2 coaches that are head coach caliber, but probably 3 or 4. Not kidding either! I really hope the school board thinks real hard before they would hire from the outside.
I don't blame coach Nelms one bit for taking such a great opportunity and I wish a very fine Man and Coach the very very best in 5A and if anyone can go from 3A to 5A and be successful it is Coach Weldon Nelms. His record and loyalty to Wimberley for all these years will be very hard to ever be matched. Good Luck coach!
