Wimberley Football

[gato 76]

Can anybody tell me what they record has been for the last 5yrs,how long has their current coach been there,and what type of offense & defense do they run?

[TexanAlum_06]

Wimberley is 47-16 over the past 5 years. With One undefeated state championship team in 05 and a 12-2 Qaurterfinalist team this year. Weldon Nelms has been the head coach for 5 years. But was previously the HC at Wimberley from 90-94. He has had success everywhere he has been. The offense is a Spread attack with about a 50% balance in pass and run, depends upon what the defense is showing. To my understanding we had the states #2 offense in total yards this year in 3A and 3rd in scoring. The defense is a split or 4-2-5, the OLB's are mainly used for coverage. We had the #1 defense in the state back to back years in 04 and 05 and a Top 10 defense this year. The DC at Wimberley has been with Nelms for I believe 8 years now. Does that help?

Yes that helps a bunch,heard Weldon Nelms is one of the leading candidates for the Bay City job,along with the O/C from Lamar cons.

If the DC is still Dick Smith then 8 years is wrong. Smith has been with Nelms for the past 4 seasons in Wimberley, 2 seasons in Glen Rose, 6 seasons in Iowa Park, and I know that he was with Nelms for at least 1 season in their first stint in Wimberley. By my count that is at least 13 years together with the possibility of more. Smith is from a tiny town near Brownwood named Santa Anna. They do not even play football there. He's another great guy and a very good football coach.

PS- In case Coach Smith actually reads this, Bowling For Soup- who woulda thunk it?

OC from Lamar Consolidated?

Zierlein is a finalist? Did not know that if true...

Hey I thought Santa Anna played 6 man. I know they were class
b back in the 70's and played 11 man. But they kind a shrunk some since then.

Maybe I should read all the posts before I post. Thanks for clearing that up Burnet.

how does wimberley feel about Nelms actively and openly searching for another job?

he must think now is the time before they fall off a bit next season, but even if that isn't true, that's the first impression i get when a coach decides to leave

[TexanAlum_06]

Yeah Im curios about that as well. expecially since I have heard him say many times that Wimberley is where he wanted to finish his coaching career.

From what Green Monster has said in the past, Nelms usually goes to a few interviews a year to keep his interview skills sharp.
