HC Lonoke

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

First off, comparing a 2A school to a 4A school, as far as playing each other is a stretch.  I do however agree that 4A is better than 2A.  I'm not that familiar with Des Arc and it's facilities, how do they compare with Lonoke.

As for the field, des arc's is nicer, lonoke wins the bleachers(bigger school, bigger bleachers).

Lonoke played carlisle and won, des arc did the same.

[Iknewthemwhen]

Are you saying Des Arc would beat Lonoke? 

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

Are you saying Des Arc would beat Lonoke?

This past season, I think they could have. I don't think they could on the regular, no.

[Iknewthemwhen]

Well, trying to predict who a school will pick is tough business, because half the time they have no clue.

It will be a rough first year for whoever they hire if they wait til May-June. Unless present assistants are motivated the off season will suffer. Then a short time to install offense and defense. Set up for failure?

agreed unless the post earlier about it being a "done deal" and widener just waiting to leave in may is true..there will be more stuff under the table to where he has lonoke where he wants them for this coming year...widener spent his first few years coaching AT lonoke, remember ...

[nuttinbuthogs]

So is any word coming out of Lonoke?

[Razorbacks48]

not a word...does Taggert want it?

I was looking at Lonoke's history in football, I thought they had a better win, loss over the years.  What's the main problem there?

Must be all the coaches fault. According to some on here there is more than enough talent to win

I've never seen a motivated asst.

[RZback]

Really?  Never?

[Jimbo Morphis]

Really?  Never?

Come to think of it, nah never.

[RZback]

Whatever school or schools you support must have problems.

I'm a huge Razorback basketball fan and Star City football.

lol Oldman. I've seen several in the last 22 years. They usually become head coaches.

I assume the comment about never seeing a motivated assistant is in jest.  Watching athletic teams for a number of years I would say most of the good programs have good staffs, and that includes being motivated.

It was in jest for EA Cat. You know the first thing Billy Dawson did when he got the Nashville job the first time?

[ghostoffootballpast]

Not really, but I would guess he carefully explained his expectations of his staff.

Took all the nice office chairs out of the coaches office and replaced them with a couple of metal folding chairs.

must have been a small office needed more room to move around in

why?

[ghostoffootballpast]

why?

So the kids didn't have a place to come sit around.

[Jimbo Morphis]

why?

really?

[footballfan-tastic]

Back to a more important question.  Who's looking strong in getting this job?

[cuckoobird]

Some people are just dense oldman

[Bayou Bully]

I don't really think ANY current head coach in 4A would leave their school and go to Des Arc. So...that means, ANY 4A job > Des Arc.

Nothing against Des Arc, but c'mon man, a 4A job is better job is better than a 2A job. If your coach is happy there then so be it, but it's not because of the "prestige" of Des Arc. Some people just don't to aspire to move up to bigger and better things.

ANY? Cave City, Waldron, Harrisburg, Berryville, Jonesboro Westside, Brookland? Not so sure ANY 4A job is better

I kind of like the 5 gallon bucket idea!  Won't take long.

[ea cat]

Naw there are padded lids for those now. Metal chairs are the best way.

[Trojanball24]

Hot Springs Coach?

[cuckoobird]

I doubt Chris wants to move to lonoke

[BulldogDad82]

I doubt Chris wants to move to lonoke

Yes, I don't see that happening either.

[Razorbacks48]

i wonder how many guys that applied pulled their application out when then heard they were waiting until May

[Jimbo Morphis]

Heard there is a metal chair waiting on me in my office.

Does LHS have an assistant on staff who will land this job?

They have an Asst that has been the interim coach, and is running off season and doing a really good job

[ea cat]

Oldman I noticed the red metal chair was gone from my front porch. Good Luck to the Jackrabbits.

[titan33]

Curious to see who they hire, after a couple years a good coach will have them back competing for a conference championship.

[Razorbacks48]

with them waiting so long it makes you think they don't want taggert, widener took his name out, bolding got Parkview, so what other name does that leave? and with it being in may will that person even still want it by then?

Pretty sure their plan to hire the preacher-parole officer as head coach hit a speed bump.

[Razorbacks48]

i heard widener took his name out and applied for a bigger (5A) job

Wynne.  If he doesn't get wynne he will be the Lonoke Coach.

[Razorbacks48]

is that what he has told them? that if he doesn't get Wynne he will take the lonoke job and thats why there has been a wait?

[titan33]

Wynne.  If he doesn't get wynne he will be the Lonoke Coach.

So False

[bbishop]

I have heard they have offered the job to a 7A OC...he is still considering if he will take it.

[Big Country]

I heard if you switch to geico you can save $$$$$ .......

sorry my attempt at humor this friday

[Iknewthemwhen]

Lonoke pays 7A money?

[Sonofasonofasailor]

Lonoke pays 7A money?

This was from an earlier post in this thread.  Don't know how this compares to a 7A OC salary.

BOST DOUG Lonoke contract 2016-17 = $73,042.16

[Pat Swilling]

I know nothing about LHS fb.  or situation.  I've never been to Lonoke.  How is this not an attractive job.  Gotta be one of better 4A jobs.  Right?
