Heard Klatt stepped down.. Is this true? If so, any word on who may replace him?
Why can't Waldron win? What is different about them compared to for example: Mena. Coach? Kids? Committment?
I feel bad for the kids there. Especially this yr. Had some many close games this yr but would pull a Waldron and fall just short. You tried a old coach last time, try a young fired up coach this time. If I was taking the job though I would ask for 5 yrs to turn it around. And after 5 yrs and there is no improvements in the program. Then you can fire me etc. Good luck in finding applicants and on the job search.

I agree. Go get a coach with some life thats gonna get kids excited about plying football. Lot of up and comming assistants and lower classification head coaches should be looked at.
Go get a coach that runs that triple option. Control the clock, grind out wins. Surprise the opposing defense with a deepball every now and then off the option pass. And yes, I'm serious. Get someone young that can fire up the kids and make them want to play. You got a new stadium, that should generate some interest. Now go get a coach to match, one that has the desire and passion to see the team succeed and knows how to sell it to the kids.

I think Waldron is the kind of place where the kids have to know that you are there for the long haul. You aren't there to try and win a few games and then try and leave for a better job. Those kids need to know that you care about them and that you are a Bulldog too, not just a short timer.

Spot on! Waldron, unfortunately has been one of those places for most coaches for a while now. And that is what the kids see. They need to see somebody come in that
wants to be there. And doesn't want to just treat it like a stepping stone.
Wait, I'd love to know when Waldron was ever considered a stepping stone for FB coaches. Rettman was there for a while (around a decade, perhaps?) and won a conference title in the middle of his stay, stepping down only because he couldn't get any more good players. Wasn't Klatt his immediate successor?
I would definitely hold off on the "stepping stone" label in regards to Waldron. Heck, Ozark's been much worse off as far that goes.
I wasn't meaning that Waldron had been treated like a stepping stone. What I meant was, they need a coach that wants to be there and doesn't just want to treat it that way. Should have been more clear in my statement. Apologies
What type of offense and defense has Waldron traditionally been? Does the administration allow for a proper off season?
Who would be some good assistants around the river valley or in the conf that would be a good fit? Heck if I was them I would try and grab gill from Mansfield. Its not like he is getting paid a lot there or even have a staff. And he hasn't lost to Waldron..
Get your admin to go woo vince perrin away from mineral springs. He has a winning program there. He is young but not a kid. And he is at a 2-A school. So you know he would jump at a bigger program. I dont care anything about mineral good or bad. But have watched this guy. He is someone that would be a great fit in waldron.
Well if they want to turn things around truly, u bring in a staff not just a coach. I know that staff.
Well said. You let the top dog bring in his people. That is a formula for a winning program.

Ryan Staggs at Pottsville. If he would leave. They've got some good stuff going on there. He is going to be a Head coach someday, might as well be Waldron.
Possible candidate could be David Joyce. He is a former Arkansas native who is currently coaching in the mountains of Colorado. Young & Energetic, whatever "IT" is, he's got it. In four years, he has turned a program that was 0-10 to 9-1. Averaged 42 points a game in a run oriented offense. Led them to their first playoff appearance since 1993.
What about May from Booneville?
Where does he coach? I wanna look him up

Would be tough to convince Vince to leave MS. Great situation there for a FB coach. One of the best small school jobs in the state.

Pottsville has been relevant for 2 years. They have a really good, senior oline this year that has been winning. Let them prove they can win more than with just some excellent players.

Sometimes, but you can not make an english bulldog run like a greyhound. Nor, for the most part, does a 5'8 225lb linemen block like a 6'3 300lb linemen.
That coach Joyce seems like a good coach. I found some more info on him where his team went 9-2 one yr and had over 4000yds of offense that yr. Only 700 of it was passing which is my kind of offense. And sounds like he would have more than enough qualifications for the job.

bigger school district = bigger paycheck.
That situation is not that good. Mineral should be a stepping stone for him. He would be foolish to look at it any other way. Nobody, unless your from there wants to stay there. The admin is shady. They turfed their feild but the town and the rest of the campus is a dump. Enrollment will sink them at some point. Its a dying town. There is writing on the wall mineral just refuses to read it.
He is a superb coach. And does have a pretty solid staff. I thought nashville should have looked at him after dawson. He could and will perform in a higher classification.

Joyce would be a great fit. He has experience turning a program around. He is only 32, and would love the opportunity to come home.
I'm assuming you know him personally either family or friend? Is he aware the position is open now
Robbie coplin, he is a coach at lake travis texas. Look at their program, he is an arkansas native. Not a head coach but young and motivated. Be hard to pluck him from a program like theirs though. But you never know.

You are him ;D
I think there will be quite a bit of interest with all of the moving around of the classifications. This being the first job to come out. I think they will have at least 30 people apply
Steelhog is not Joyce, that'd be me. We have been friends since we were bitin' ankles. We both played on Van Buren's championship team of 1996. I took over Battle Mountain after I wasn't getting proper looks at head jobs in Arkansas, due to the good ol'boy system, which is not about ability as a coach but about who you know. After being here for 4 years and turning this program around, it is time to get home. I got a 3 and 4 year old and the grandparents want to see'em.

You want the job? Apply for it. Coaches don't put youtube videos on a fan message board. If this is real, as in the person claiming to be this coach is actually this coach, then I have never seen someone act so ridiculously for a job. But I still think this is someone acting like the coach.
That is the Funniest Thing I have seen in a long time. "I am a Husky!" Self promotion rarely works. Just coach hard. Send in an application. Hope for an interview. Good luck.
Bout as funny as a username "dog the bounty hunter". well, again, this is the problem with arkansas. you could be a total moron, but if you walked on at the u of a and sat the bench, you must be a good high school coach.
I took over the worst program in colorado, and we lost 2 games this year by a combined 3 points. Rifle 11-0, and D'Evelyn the largest private school in state 40-38. I can not believe a bunch of posers on this board are knocking a person who worked hard for something, believed in themselves and achieved it. your right, putting a product out on a board is distasteful, waldrons coach should just present vague promises with no evidence of ability.

Coach, be carefull what you say on these message boards. Making crude remarks about arkansas coaches and hiring processes won't get you any job offers. A lot of people read fearless friday. Many Ark administrators are ex-coaches who might take offense. Just a little friendly advice. Good luck in the playoffs.
Admins might read these boards, but the bottomline is, if they are offended by what I've said, then obviously those are the ones who have been burned by that process or use it, and I've no interest in that place. Most good admins are lil smarter than your average fan, well the good ones are.
Do not mistake "potential" for "performance".

Your right bout that.
I want to know just how long that little act took to memorize? And did the staff practice in the mirror. that was obviously rehearsed several times. It was kinda like I was watching a bad B movie.
It sounds an awful lot like another motivational speech on youtube called I am a champion.
The thing I noticed the most about the speech. YOUNG coaching staff, with fire. That is exactly what Waldron needs. Even if they didn't go with this guy, they need to follow that pattern. Just my opinion.
Yeahthe pregame video was a bit cheesy but if you look up battle mountain highlight video it has coach Joyce and his team and him talking to them bout the mountain they just climbed. That clip sold me on the guy. if mena didnt already have a great coach I would say we should hire him.

Yes, a YouTube video is all anyone needs these days, apparently.
I wasnt sure if they were going to fire up some D&G game or play football.
Love the passion, delivery? Not so much.
Lets keep this topic going. Gotta long day in front of the computer today. I'm not familiar with Waldron. 1 thing I don't understand is how most of the local schools in the immeadiate area have success but not Waldron. I think (in my humble opinion) that Waldron should go after a proven winner in the lower classifications. Lot of good coaches in South Arkansas that might want to take on the challenge. Guess time will tell. Good thing is its VERY early and Waldron can take their time and not make a quick decision.
Well waldrons playoff record is 3-6. Haven't made the playoffs since 2003. I feel like Waldron wants to win but hasn't had a coach to really lead them there. The last coach before klatt did a decent job. Their big rival is Mansfield . A coach can go 1-9 and beat Mansfield and keep his job.
Waldron also might be attractive to assistants in NE Texas who are really wanting their first head coaching job. Lots of good football over there too.

If Waldron wants to win bad enough it will. What's keeping him in Mansfield? His staff?
I've read and posted on high school football message boards for years, and I have never...NEVER seen anything like this. If husky really is a coach in Colorado attempting to get a job in Arkansas through posting a youtube video of himself on a message board, then that is easily the most unprofessional attempt at getting a head coaching job that I have ever seen. If you really are him, do you not have your hands full enough coaching a successful football team in the playoffs right now? How do you have time to surf message boards and promote yourself like this? You need to enjoy the kids playing for you now and enjoy your current job. From what I've seen of you, you are extremely lucky to have that one!
What have you seen of me? It is always easy to hide behind a screen name or message board. Do you test drive a car before buying. Do you speak to someone before forming an opinion? just curious, about people passing judgement, is it out of fear or stupidity.
Don't have a problem with the guy coming on here to post a video or just say, "Hey I'm interested." College coaches have an agent that will contact other schools to let them know that they are interested in their job.(sometimes during their season) High School coaches don't have that luxury, so you get your name out there anyway you can.
So, I'm fine with the video and just letting people know in general that you are interested in the job. However, I would suggest against coming on the board and getting into arguments with people, as that will not help your cause any. That is IF "husky" is indeed Coach Joyce. Now, if you are a friend of his and you think you are doing him a favor by coming on here and talking him up, then might I suggest that you simply say, "I'm not Coach Joyce. I'm just a friend of his that would like to see him get consideration for the job." Because you aren't doing him any favors by coming on here and arguing your point with people.
As someone has previously stated, administrators do come on these boards and read, some even post. I personally know of several that do. So just think before you come in here spouting things off. And a friendly word of advice, PROOF READ! Several grammatical errors in some of your earlier posts. Probably doesn't help your cause getting into a new school system.
Example: YOU ARE is YOU'RE, YOUR means your and is possessive ;)
Gill want get the job people want pay 4 bucks to watch his offense.
I haven't formed my opinion of you as a person yet. I have formed the opinion that this is an unprofessional attempt at garnering interest for yourself for a head coach position at the Sr. High level in a state that is much more competitive than Colorado. Any coach can video tape a rehearsed pre game speech and say, "Look at me. This is what I have to offer." No administrator would watch that and say, " Let's hire that guy." Nothing at all wrong with the speech. Just don't use that as a basis for how good of a coach you are. I would form my opinion of your coaching ability and philosophy through contacting QUALITY references and conducting a detailed interview. Just the same way an administrator would. Which is why you should go that route in finding a job, and maybe stay off of the message boards arguing with people like me. :) Good Luck!

Colorado has better football. I've been a part of both. Colorado has 5 million people. So there are more schools, but don't mistake the quality because it is more spread out. Valor this year is unbelievable, and Mullen last year was best high school team I've EVER seen, count their d1's over past 4 years. Competition does not mean quality. I.e. Cedarville vs Waldron 2011. So if u mean Arkansas is more competitive, maybe, quality...sorry your wrong.
And posting a video is not an application for a job, it is a feeler of a community. Obviously, if the haters are from Waldron that says something to why they struggle. And a sup I want to work for, would rather have someone who goes all in, not a politically correct cautious coach.
Dude the more you post the less credibility you have. Good coaches don't waste their time arguing on Fearless Friday. This does provide some relief to my otherwise boring day. Best of luck with your search.
What D1 schools are they signing with? Colorado? They certainly are a powerhouse. Colorado State? Stellar program. Air Force? I'll give you that one and would never bash a kid for choosing a service academy, plus they are the best D1 program in the state.
You probably wouldn't know just how good Arkansas high school football is because you have been gone for 4 years at least. I spent 5 years away from Arkansas while I was in the military. Saw high school football played in 2 different states. I am amazed at how much better Arkansas high school football is now compared to when I left. The explosion of team and 7-on-7 camps has enhanced it. The addition of spring practices starting in 2001. Programs are on the rise and so is the quality of football. Especially among the smaller schools, which is who has benefited the most from all the new local camps and extra practices.
You are seriously knocking Mullen, Valor, Columbine. Do some research. Mullen gave up all of 84 points all of last year, and had a 34 game win streak, and during one year of that stretch had 7 D1's on defense alone, I don't care where they go, D1 is D1, 5A here has schools that go up to 3,500 students. Plus, Denver metro alone has 2.5 million people, that is the whole state of Arkansas.
This is a down year for Mullen, and their QB is going to Washington. I'm not saying Arkansas doesnt have some good teams, but the competition level as a whole is lower, for example, over half the teams in the state get into the playoffs. Here, in 3A for example, 16 of the 51 teams get in, and it is based on wildcard points, not conference finish. So the 16 that get in are dang good.
4A/5A have a week 10 play-in system, to determine the top 16, now your talking bout really good football.
I get it, when I was in arkansas, I thought the same thing, until I got here, most coaches here have already went through the 'spread phase' and moved on if they weren't true believers. Back home, most coaches can't get a job unless their a spread guy. look at Gill, guy applies everywhere, why? He only has done more at Mansfield than anyone, and he's not worthy, right.

Mansfield is fixing to be good for a while. They got some talent coming. Why leave something you built to go fix a program that has been broken for a very long time.

Gill want get the job people want pay 4 bucks to watch his offense.
English please.
I hope Waldron tries to hire Ricky May. Being an 89 grad from Waldron I am sick and tired of mediocrety. I am ready for a winning football program and I believe given a chance, and if he wants the job, he could do just that!
You're talking to the biggest opponent to Arkansas's playoff system. It's the biggest joke there is in my opinion. I'd be fine with 16 teams at most getting in. The problem isn't in the small schools, it's the joke that is 7A and 6A. Colorado has more people than Arkansas, I get that. Which allows them to produce more D1 talent than The Natural State. Doesn't mean the brand of football is any better though. That's my only argument to the whole thing.
And for the record, I believe that if you look around the whole country. Not just high school, the running/option game will make a comeback sooner rather than later. Just look at what Denver is doing in the NFL right now. Winning with the straight up triple option.
They need to combine 6A/7A, it is a joke people complain about enrollment numbers,
Battle Mountian 675students= 3A
Palisade-1145= 3A
3a in colorado is 600-1200 students
1641 and up is 5A here, Cherry Creek has 3500 students, and you got teams pissing and moaning in 6A cause there having to play 7A schedule in arkansas. It is like giving everyone on the team a participation award.
As far as brand of football, it should come full circle, hopefully, i mean, what is the all-time scoring offense in the history of high school football, THE DOUBLE WING.

And that right there folks is why Waldron will never be successful. Let's hire a guy that will put butts in the stands not a guy who will bring wins to program. Not that Gill would consider going to Waldron or if he did even win. But that probably has to be the dumbest statement I have ever heard. But I understand you are being honest and its probably the truth. So all I can say is I hope you get that new field paid for and continue your success being everyone's homecoming game.
I'm sure the new fb stadium will attract some good guys. Do the dogs also have a new field house/weightroom?
Whoever the next head coach is, I hope he makes a really snazzy video. One that shows him yelling at the fish on Lake Hinkle, or intimidating deer south of Cauthron.
Would make a believer out of me, that's for sure.
Don't let the fish in Lake Hinkle fool you! They are mean, probably the best athletes in Scott County!

So you're saying that in Colorado the largest classification goes from 1641-3500 students? That's barely over 2.1 times as big. Not as big as if you combined 6A-7A and had teams like Searcy just over 800 playing Bentonville who has over 2500. That's 3.1 times as big. HUGE DIFFERENCE.

Gill wins, period. Start winning and the butts will be in the stands...Mansfield is proof of that. Gill had a down year this year, but next year will be better. And after that for 3 years we will be lights out. But I do believe that Gill will take a hard look at the Waldron job, and I know for a fact they are gonna come after him...and I couldn't blame him if he left. Sheeeeesh, it will be hard for me to wear Black and Orange...lol...

Arkansas is in a unique situation. Large high schools with a small state population. That isn't normal and so neither should their class breakdown (2A-7A).
Klatt's resignation went official Monday night at the school board meeting. Tried to find a link to the job posting but I couldn't find one yet.
I'll see what I can do about putting up some pictures of the facility.
Just curious....after watching the video....did your team defeat the opponent?
What u mean that was 3rd take.
Yeah, we beat our rival for 1st time in 12 years.
I guess I should've posted Tebows pep talk to the team, that would've been acceptable.

Quit getting so defensive and answer the question. How does Tim Tebow coming to your school and talking to your team make you a better coach and make you a more attractive hire than coaches that are currently here? Wow.
Getting tebow or espn the magazine is no small feat. Unless I'm missing something, maybe that is normal.
Maybe the administration thought that Tebow could pep them up better than the coach maybe Waldron can hire Tebow for their new coach!!!

Don't be jealous just cause the guy can sale a program. That's all he is doing, all you read about in newspapers and magazines are the Cinderella stories or programs that haven't a losing season in x amount of yrs. This guy has done the Cinderella story and it doesn't matter if it took Tim tebow or ESPN to do it. Don't say you as a coach wouldn't bring tebow in for a day if you had access to him. You would and know it. And Jeff weaver did the same thing at mena with Tyler Wilson. He brought Tyler in for one of his first spring practices and helped get the kids excited. Some can sale a program and if you say that isn't a part of todays game even in high school your crazy. That's why all the transfer rules now for private schools.

Did anyone say that isnt part of a program? And do you think he should be hired bc he brought Tim Tebow in to talk to the kids? Getting kids excited about playing football is a big part of the program... but thats also what Houston Nutt was good at. How good of a coach is he at his level?
no, no one said he should be hired because of tim tebow. Houston nutt was good at getting tim tebow to give pep talks. that was his secret.

I always wondered that.
Having been an outsider to Arkansas, although I have lived here for many years I can honestly say that Arkansas has more passion for football than many states that are much larger. Doesn't mean they will produce more D1 players, of course they won't that is all about the numbers. However the focus here is football, being from NC, the focus is basketball and baseball with football being something to watch until basketball season starts.
High school football here is messed up at the top. Small state but with a dozen or so huge schools that don't allow you to put together a really fair top level, hence we have 7 in a state where 5 is plenty of divisions. You have at the top and even down through the ranks way too many teams making the playoffs so we can fill a 32 team bracket in levels with only 48 teams.
I have no idea if the poster who claims to coach in Colorado is real or not, if so he is showing a great lack of professionalism by entering into a discussion on a high school message board that is monitored by a number of administrators who could be looking for a coach. Not exactly the right way to get a job interview. As far as the quality of football in Colorado, let's me real, the only high school football that you really hear about nationwide is Florida, California and Texas with some other area sprinkled in from time to time. Doesn't mean there aren't good players and teams elsewhere but how many people on the east coast know anything about Bentonville, except it is the home of WalMart.
Any word on the job?
No word at all. It would be nice to hear something a lot of people are anxious to know whats going on.

Get your admin to go woo vince perrin away from mineral springs. He has a winning program there. He is young but not a kid. And he is at a 2-A school. So you know he would jump at a bigger program. I dont care anything about mineral good or bad. But have watched this guy. He is someone that would be a great fit in waldron.
Would be tough to convince Vince to leave MS. Great situation there for a FB coach. One of the best small school jobs in the state.
bigger school district = bigger paycheck.
That situation is not that good. Mineral should be a stepping stone for him. He would be foolish to look at it any other way. Nobody, unless your from there wants to stay there. The admin is shady. They turfed their feild but the town and the rest of the campus is a dump. Enrollment will sink them at some point. Its a dying town. There is writing on the wall mineral just refuses to read it.
He is a superb coach. And does have a pretty solid staff. I thought nashville should have looked at him after dawson. He could and will perform in a higher classification.
LOL.. Good Post.. Enrollment will get us sooner or later.. still waiting been hearing that for 15 years now,and you right who wouldn't want to Coach at a higher Classification you know its all about that mighty Dollar.

True.
Winning is fun. Your not gonna get a guy like Perrin. As long as Mineral has school they will win football games. Just because its AA doesn't mean it isnt a great football town. That place is Football Crazy. Perrin seems to be a perfect fit.
yep 2a ball is fun.
Mineral has a good program, no doubt about that. I like every coach they have, im a fan of mule shoe.
Also a fan of vince. He seems to be happy down there.
You put a bigger paycheck in front of anybody and they will make a move.
Any recent rumors?
Rumor has it that the Waldron School District has offered the AD and Head football job. $110,000.00 a year for 5 years and full control of the program...the new head coach at Waldron will be...should be announced in a few days... ;)

I don't know about this but I heard that Coach Gill likes it at Mansfield and has a tremendous group coming up from junior high. He may not be interested in the Waldron job because of this.
You heard wrong. How could anyone like working at a place that is constantly trying to beat you down. That school has done about everything possible to kill that program. Not many coaches could take the screwing he has the last couple of years.
Exactly otherwise he wouldn't apply for a different HC position every yr.

This is not entirely true...I know for a fact that he has been ask to apply at several places, and has turned down three...
Well still venny we all know the crap he's gone through ...lol ive enjoyed the games between mena and Mansfield the last 2 yrs. A spread offense vs a spiltback Veer which you dont see much anymore. I think gill would have to be one of the top choices to try and grab for the Waldron job. He's a proven winner. I think him and may from bville are the top 2 to try and grab. I could be totally wrong but thats just my opinion.
I think the off Cord. from Charleston is the front runner.
Gill does make a good case, but the players wont ralley behind them after what all he has said about them. and i think when they do hire a new coach they shouldnt handcuff him they need to let him make his own coaching staff and get rid of everyone besides warrington. Hes the only coach that coaches and doesnt play favoritism and wants to coach the boys. they do need a young coach, one with fire to bring the team back alive. when coach bates was at waldron we responded well to him and the same with coach walker at booneville now. the only thing is that they didnt get to stay long. Im a former player and wish the best for the program and thats why i think we need someone that is young and energetic that has proven himself as a coach and someone that isnt affraid to play do break away from this high fly offence and run the ball bc we dont have the speed and numbers to play that way.
Shane Davis from Strong may need to be looked at?
No offense against coach Davis and his staff but Kenneth Dixon and the gatson player will make any coach look real good. And make their job a lot easier.
Not sure what Waldron is going to do here. Looking forward to a change no matter who they hire. I hate the bashing of the other coaches on the staff. I dont know anything about them but kinda hard to go after guys that answer to a head coach. As far has High Fly offense, I went to two football games this past season and I saw a lot more running the ball then throwing. I am a firm believe that it doesnt matter what offense you run if the players wont buy into it. It all comes down to the leader and if they arent buying what he is selling then they wont put the time in to execute anything. I surely hope they can get something done and not drag it out.

Kendrick almost got the ozark job.
He was offered and the next day they crawfished on him.
I'm late to the party but have been told by many to check out this thread and it didn't disappoint! After that rehearsed pregame speech, lol, (thanks for the laughs by the way), I'm gonna watch Braveheart continuously until Waldron hires a new head coach! "Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take...OUR FREEDOM!"
By the way I'll post some pictures of the new stadium and facilities tomorrow!

Luck for him administrators don't look at Fearless Friday in Colorado
If waldrons admin moves quickly they could maybe. Grab tim perry. Former CAC, and until yesterday HC at nashville. Hire tim and your program steps to the level it should be.
;D
Still no word. I have heard that there are a lot of applicants. Not even sure if they have interviewed anyone yet. Very frustrating for the community.

:) You cant rush perfection! and that is what these kids deserve!
Yes but also want someone that can come in and put in HIS off season not the assistant coaches. I would say dont rush the selection but dont take your sweet time either. He will need time to meet with staff and players for meetings on where they want to go and the schemes they will run. And that takes more time than a lot of people think.
I agree, takes awhile for a new coach to come in and line-out a program that has lost consistentaly for years. Hard to change some peoples mindsets. I imagine that they have a pretty good idea what and who they are looking for to TURN things around......

Like the board members are gonna let the cat out of the bag. Listen it is pretty much a done deal. A couple of sticky points to work out concerning the staff and who and how many he can bring with him. Waldron shouldn't even be able to mess this up. I say by the 10th of January this will be a done deal. From what I am hearing the compensation is a done deal, only the staffing of who he gets to bring, how many he gets to bring and how many current staff members are gonna stay and how many are gonna go. You know how letting a teacher/coach go or be reasigned can be.

You know for a long time I thought Gill would be interested in the Waldron job because of all the BS here in Mansfield and quite frankly I couldn't and wouldn't blame him. But he has not applied and is not going to...but the guy you will be getting is top notch if everything works out. Six in a row may be coming to an end...who knows. I hope it works out for Waldron though because I know alot of good folks down there.
Laughing all the way till we get a Big ESPN New Conference announcing the new head coach!!
:D

OOPS, meant News Conference!!! my typing needs work in my old' age......

Thanks! Does that mean Waldron will have to wait until March to offically Hire a Head Coach?
I hope the Admin. can bring someone in other than their "people"... It's happened before at waldron and it did not go. But everyone knows how rumors are. Someone knows this person from this school etc......
I can't make any sense out of this post can you please explain what you mean?

Asked around Remember Marshel/simons duo? A coach from another school said he heard that some coach from somewhere in missouri has been hired. Has anyone heard that?
Sounds like just a rumor to me. I think that Coach May from Booneville is still the front runner.

Ha slocombe already has it all figured out I guess.
AHHHHH, Slocombe wants the job! To bad for Lipham, i guess.

you guessed wrong, more schools with bulldog than W! Never heard of Walcott who is he?
I think you can hire any time, if htey are employed at the time it would be up to the district that they are under contract with to release them from the contract. And lots of times they will so they can go ahead and look for someone to fill the vacated spot.

Well, just assumed that you guys were from Waldron considering that you have been posting alot on this subject. Sorry, just thought you might be from Waldron but considering you don't know Andy then I guess I was wrong. And no, Andy Walcott is not a coach...
Was raised In Waldron, graduated from Waldron, now work in Waldron, and have never heard of señor Walcott. If I've just somehow managed to miss out on this guy then my bad, just figured I would have heard of him.
You are however, the new proud owner of the most passive aggressive post in this thread.
Just an outsider looking in, but it seems that maybe Coach V. has an "inside" track to whats going on in waldron. Coach V. is the one who put in a earlier post that the job paid $110,000, with 5 yr contract and AD job along with full control of program. He seems to throw a bone and the Bulldogs have jumped all over it! Better get wise.... :-X
If anyone actually entertains the thought that Waldron, America could pay a coach $110,000 they haven't been here or know anything about this town. Scott county has one of the lowest per capita income averages in the state of Arkansas. If he's a Waldron insider then I'm moving to canada
At any rate I'm pretty sure he himself said that was a joke. At least I hope he said that
True! He did say it was a joke, started a good conversation. He has now started another with some senor Andy Walcott. ;D Perhaps, we will know the Head Football Coach very soon and put this all at rest. The Best of Luck to Waldron, the kids deserve the ultimate BEST coach ever!
Yep the $110,000 was a joke. Surprised you guys don't know Andy though. I have been in Mansfield my whole life and I know Andy. Hmmm, I don't know if I have any kind of inside track, but I do have a couple of people that know what's going on. Seems that there is a little trouble on assistant coaches right now that is holding this up. Shouldn't be a real issue...but who knows...I hope the best for Waldron (except when they play Mansfield), some good folks down there and the kids deserve a good coach. :)
I know some of the Admin. at waldron and have to say they are most dedicated individuals I have ever meet. They put the kids 1st and that is pretty amazin" lot to be proud of in Waldron. Glad to say, almost best in State compared to where I'm from.
But, need a coach to fit .
Quote from: DogsWin7 on January 04, 2012, 06:30:46 pm
Would like to point out all coaches listed on this forum:
lipham-waldron
perry-nashville
may-booneville
jones-magazine
gill-mansfield
jones-greenwood
joyce-colorado
davis-strong
perrin-not sure where he's from
plus 2 college- petrino and nutt
i hope i didn't miss any but if waldron has this wish list to choose from then i'd say they can't lose. I know some of if not all the Admin. at waldron and have to say they are the most dedicated individuals I have ever meet. They put the kids 1st and that is pretty amazin" lot to be proud of in Waldron. Glad to say, almost best in State compared to where I'm from. :)
But, need a coach to fit . Who is the best fit? and WHY?
Whos the coach from Greenwood? Jones? I dont think i know him. He an asst?
;D Thats FUNNY! Everyone knows Rick Jones from Greenwood!
My bad, seems i left off some Harv Welch, staggs-pottsville and coplin-texas! Sorry....
And I did say WISH LIST! these are the coaches mentioned on these past 4 pages for Waldron Head Coach. I don't know if any have applied but I guess they can Dream!
This Forum is kinda drying up for now. Well, anyone know of any interviews going on? Whats the scoop with this one. Waiting for Venny to respond since he knows all.
Coach Perry....CAC....Nashville.......and now Waldron
I talked to the AD and he would only confirm that they will BEGIN the interview process on January 23rd! The committee met and discussed what their interests were and what they are looking for and next step in interview process! All of this is fact, no fiction here!
On Nashville head coach forum, says that Perry has interview.
Any rumors on potential applicants?
Is waldron ever going to hire a coach? Seen on Nasville forum they have hired 1 already and their coach just resigned like 2 weeks ago. Whats Up with That?
That's because all Nashville did was bring Billy Dawson back. Little bit different scenario
And nobody wants to go to Waldron.

Looks like the troll has found its way into our thread. get good internet under your bridge?
Actually there have been a large number of applicants and for administrative reasons they haven't started interviews yet. Those, however, start next week.
I have no dog in this hunt, but why would you wait to give interviews. It looks to me like you would interview and then spend time deciding on the right coach.
Now I hope Waldron finds a quality coach that can turn it around, but im gonna use an old mena saying. "guys its Waldron, they'll find a way to screw it up"
the longer they wait, the more jobs that come open, and thats not a good thing for them I would think. There aren't many jobs open right now, so you might land a bigger name guy, but if they wait until a "better" job comes open, they may lose one!
I am of the mindset, figure out what you want. Take applicants for a week, and get the process started. The longer it drags out the worse it is for everyone involved.
Sounds reasonable!
Exactly. If there are that many applicants, they have had time to interview all they wanted to. Then work through those to narrow it down to a small handful, maqybe give second interview to those. Make your decision and make your offer. Simple enough. And I'm not telling you something I heard, I've been through the process several times.
I'm no brain surgeon but how does Waldron seem to have a troll, and this image that they will "screw up"? :P
I have no dog in the fight. I just know it's going to take more than a good coach to turn Waldron into a winning program.
Does anyone really want this job ?
Where's Coach V. Come out, come out where ever u r! Hillbilly D and everyone else?
Darn it Harv Welch, come take this job in Waldron !
Come on down Harv!
You guys have some good good coaches talking to your admin, just hold tight your gonna be happy in the end. I know of two that 100% have or are gonna be in talks, and either of them will be top notch!

"Hammer meet Nail"...I just can't believe it! This is gonna make me look bad with what I posted. Waldron had their man (and still do to a degree) and they are fighting over an assistant coach. Waldron is real close to blowing this thing. In a way it doesn't surprise me though. One board member wants to have an extensive coaching search...lol...in Waldron! Some funny stuff...but if WHS doesn't act quickly they are gonna lose this guy...over an assistant...
Sorry Venny, all of your "truth" posts have been just leading us along. My sources tell me that there are no assistant coaches interested in interviewing so how in the world are they holding it up. Hope they get the ball rolling soon though, afraid some of the applicants might not be patient.

You better pay attention and get involved. Vinnie is so close to right it isn't even funny. The coach he speaks of was basically hired in December and the Board and the Super couldn't agree to terms on who to keep and how many new to be hired. I understand that there are some problems finding ways to justify that many coaches though and I can see where the Super is coming from. Waldron is not gonna hire a great coach nor are the applicants coming in like droves of locusts, so they had better come to terms with this guy because he is as good as any with ties to this area. Vinnie I would be interested to know how you got your info. And also Vinnie, doesn't Mansfield have enough problems without you worrying about Waldron? I did hear that Gill didn't apply though. Man is crazy to stay at Mansfield.

Well the Mansfield delegation is out, Not real sure there was a need to be rude slocombe but hey, thats your deal.
The administration has been tight lipped about the whole process but here is what I know. Interviews started today. There were upwards of 40 people to put in for it. I know that sounds like a ton and who knows if many of them even had a real shot but I've heard that number over and over. They are interviewing 8. I only know of 1 or 2 names for sure that are interviewing.

He'll never come back! We ran him off by laughing at him too much. Besides, he messed up any shot he had of ever getting a job in Arkansas when he came on here and started arguing with people, one of which, I'm pretty sure was an administrator. And if I was an admin somewhere, I would never have considered him for a position in the first place. An educator of any kind should know the difference between; there, their, and they're; you and you're; and its and it's. Which were common mistakes in the majority of his posts.
Not to speedy in waldron. :D
Nice, to hear from you Coach V! but let's play nice.
I sure hope it ends up being coach May! He knows how to win!

Sorry boys, I guess I've been to busy, hiring my staff. And I hate to inform all you smart guys, but those speeches and what not, those are what got me hired at the largest school in the Springs, and in the best conference in the state. One day, most of the posers, which is what the people on this board are, will wake up and realize what century they live in. I do wish Waldron the best, but honestly, with the people that seem to have their interest in heart, well, they will never go in one direction.
The funny thing is, one of the haters who was bashing me, actually p.m.ed me asking if i would be interested in him on my staff.

Can u say, OUCH! That stings, guess u r one of the "Smart Coaches" afterall! To bad if some coach made you mad. Coaching jobs are hard to come by because they are all usually really good friends.
Plus 1000 for husky!!!!!!!
Should add: Husky, I was hoping u were going to be one they interviewed this week! To bad, but glad ur kids get to be closer to their grandparents. :)
What a tool, you have such a great job in a great school in a great conference...and want to come to Waldron? Uhhhhh...k.

If you got such a good job in Colorado then why are you trolling on an Arkansas football message board? Best of luck at your new job. And I was unaware that you had started career at Green Forest. I know Coach Gotto, played against him. His mentor was my coach in high school. And the important thing to remember when reading this thing anyway is that you have to learn to roll with the punches. I still have my doubts that you really are who you say are, guess I'll never know. Either way, it won't cause me to lose any sleep at night. I truly don't believe that a coach should actually post or even read these boards to begin with. But that's just my opinion. Which is why, when I'm roaming the sidelines myself in a couple of years, I will retire from the world of FF. Because after 3 years of college, 6 years in the military, and a 27 years of life experience, I've learned that most of the people on here are indeed just trying to stir the pot and get someone a little riled up. Then someone types without thinking and hits the post button a little too soon and it hits the fan. Like I said though, best of luck to you at your new job. It seems like you have a good thing going out in the mountains of Colorado.
so is colorado still in colorado? or is he in Arkansas. I thought he meant he got hired somewhere here in arkansas..........I'm still confused? ???

Did coach Gill have the players out there doing that? Doubt it. I'm sure he was too busy getting his players ready to be concerned what some non football playing students "allegedly" were doing. Also, I assume you must be talking about a Jr. high game as the Sr. high game was at the new Waldron football palace.
Where is Goodbetterbetz with those pictures? I want to see the Waldron Football PALACE!!!! :D

Yeah sometimes it is necessary. When someone questions me without bothering to read or understand a post then yes it is. He mentioned the "Mansfield Delegation"...not me. I just stated the obvious...and that is that Mansfield has won six straight. Truth hurts sometimes...

Well the Mansfield delegation is out, Not real sure there was a need to be rude slocombe but hey, thats your deal.
The administration has been tight lipped about the whole process but here is what I know. Interviews started today. There were upwards of 40 people to put in for it. I know that sounds like a ton and who knows if many of them even had a real shot but I've heard that number over and over. They are interviewing 8. I only know of 1 or 2 names for sure that are interviewing.
Info is hard to come by around here. I'll do what I can as the process gets going.
Keep it classy slocombe 8)
Sorry...truth hurts sometimes though...and this is the same Mansfield delegation that has been kicking Waldron's rear for the past six years and counting... :o
Well I wouldn't expect anything better from a Mansfield coach. Same group that just let their kids stand right outside their school and flip off our buses when they pulled in to play at Mansfield this year.
Really? Are you seriously that stupid? I can promise you this...if Coach Gill or any other of the coaches would have saw a kid flip off the bus pulling in there would have been heck to pay...especially a player. I highly doubt that happened, but this is the response you get when your program is beaten and battered for years.

Coach V! Was that necessary? Sportsmanship is to be shown on and off the field right? U r way nicer than that.
Yeah sometimes it is necessary. When someone questions me without bothering to read or understand a post then yes it is. He mentioned the "Mansfield Delegation"...not me. I just stated the obvious...and that is that Mansfield has won six straight. Truth hurts sometimes...
I understand defending your school. but u better just hold tight because if they hire a really Good Coach and he reads ur post it just might be enough to make u eat ur words come next football season. Waldron vs Mansfield!!!! u know Motivational speakers!!!! :D

If Waldron is gonna beat us then it had better be this year. Our freshman class is loaded and so is the 8th grade. Our junior high lost one game and that was by 4 points to Charleston.

Shut up...
Interviews have started, hopefully going to have a name by February board meeting. Doubtful but miracles do happen.
Has anyone heard if they have hired a coach yet?
Any idea on who they have even interviewed?
I cannot belive that Waldron screwed this up... :o...and I thought this stuff only happened in Mansfield...
Yes interviews have begun. Did you Waldron people know that Tim Perry actually inquired about this job? That isn't happening either...two great coaches and no cigar...

;D Sounds to me like they r right on track!!!!! I hope ;)
Who is Tim Perry?
Quote from: gitrdone on January 30, 2012, 05:17:56 pm
Who is Tim Perry?
Former coach at Nashville!! Very good coach and great guy!!
He only has a few STATE titles under his belt! HERO PERRY!!!!!!!! He CAN turn it around.
Whats that saying, if u build it, they will come? Well the new stadium been built! :D
Waldron huh?
Hmm.
I just hope someone will take this job and quiet this thread down. But that's not gonna happen is it ?
I guess I'm confused. Was waldron this major football hot bed at one time because this is a long thread.
Does that mean its down to May from Booneville and Perry from Nashville?
I have no dog in the fight, but how is this thread considered long when Nashville's thread was 7 pages and hired a coach in around 2 wks! :o
The position at Waldron has been open since November I think, completely different. I would expect the thread to be longer.
As for Football Hot bed? I think that if you can get these kids the right coach it could be!
As Coach Jones from G always says: It's not rebuild, It's reload! or that is what he is known for.
I think Waldron could do the same if given some time with a Great Coach like Perry!
There is more to a coach than just winning games, He could be a great example to the kids in leadership and how to become a responsible and decent human being. He also, cares about the kids and their grades. That's a combo hard for any one to beat!
You better hire Coach Perry. Proven winner. Great Christian example for young men. Would have loved to had my boys play for him.
I think Coach May is the right fit for Waldron. But what do I know!?
I agree! He would be the perfect fit!
No dog in the fight, but I know that Coach May would do a great job. He loves the kids and they respect him. Would be exactly what Waldron needs to get things going.
I hope the school board feels the same way!
im not saying May wouldn't probably do a good job. He is a very good coach, just figure he is waiting to be head coach at B.
Dogswin7 you were just pulling for may. "may all the way!!!" and may was an assistant back then, and like any good coach does you try and move up to make a better name for yourself.

Excellent point! No wonder Waldron is having such a hard time.
The circumstances from then doesn't even matter. There are a couple of things I like about coach May. He is defensive minded so they would have a good defense. He would also bring the know how to beat Booneville.
I graduated from Waldron back in 1989! They consistently won between 5 and 7 games a year and were always in games!

1st- Coach Perry is the Defense guy.( Im pretty sure anyway.)
2nd- NO WAY is May going to give out B.plays to Waldron. It ain't gonna happen. His kid plays for B. Unless of course, he brings him with him then thats a game changer. Hope he does, if he goes to Waldron. Have seen that kid play, he is a HORSE. Great Player!
Well I figure may would run a similar wing t type of offense at Waldron and ive seen his son play. If he goes there Waldron imo moves into a 5th place fight with Dardanelle
I don't think for a minute coach May would give away plays. He has practiced day after day against that offense.
they going to be able to bring any Assts?
If the school board is smart, they will let them!
Well coaches are just professional plagiarist, and will do what it takes to win. And he would know the bville players like the back of his hand. And what it would take to stop the bucksweep, dive, double handoff, and midline.

No, I agree. May wouldn't give out B. plays. He is a standup guy, I meant I didn't see him being able to run around the same plays at Waldron yet. They have to learn his style, and be Coached for awhile. I can't see those 2 Coaches or any coach for that matter not wanting to bring in some of their Asst.
The suspense is killing me!

Coach Perry is not a defensive coach. His offensive playbook is the size of the dictionary. No joke.
Between CAC and Nashville he was Harding's OC and lead D2 in passing and total offense.

Either Offense or Defense, He is a good coach. He could bring a lot to Waldron Players.

If you graduated in 89' that puts u bout the same age as Coach May, so Im guessing u played ball against him. Yes?
When did Wade Hill graduate from Waldron? '91 maybe?
Sorry, I know that's off topic, but I was genuinely curious. I know he played a little for the Hogs, but did he ever start?
No, I was just in the band. I watched him play and he was an awesome running back.
Wade finished up one game and started one game. He transfered to a small school in Louisiana.
Is Waldron still interviewing? This is a hush-hush subject.

I believe Wade graduated in '89. It was the '91 Independence Bowl against Georgia that he started in for Hogs. I remember going to watch Waldron play Gurdon down in Hot Springs in the playoffs in 1988, a quarterfinal matchup I believe. Gurdon won the game rather easily in pouring down rain. Whatever happened to playoff games being played at neutral sites anyway?
Hey Wendell! Why don't u take a poll and see who the next coach at waldron is going to be?
My sources tell me that Houston Nutt is going to interview later today...more details to follow.

What has Coach V done that has impressed you? All he's done is say twice that it was going to be announced in a few days with no results, even went as far as to say by Jan. 10 this will be a "done deal" and that Waldron is going to be blown away by the hire? And it's not Perry! So far nothing he's said has been true, so what impressed you DogsWin7? Please let us know, because nothing he's said so far has been credible? Of course, doesn't sound like it would take much to impress you with all the flip-flopping you've done on this thread. For someone who doesn't have a "dog in this fight" and not from Waldron LOL!!

It was set to be announced actually sooner than the 10th, but like I said (if you can read and comprehend) it was based off how many assistants he could bring with him and how many would remain from the current staff. That part didn't get worked out so the guy I was talking about is out of the running and back at his old school. Has Perry been hired yet? No, and he won't...so...I guess so far I have been right...

R personal attacks ur MO or r u mad cause u lost ur pictures of some Football Palace in Waldron that I have yet to see posted! LOL. I do have some relatives that live around Lake Hinkle if thats considered inside information. I just find it interesting that a community that says they have a LOVE for football and spend 5mil on a Great Field can not some how come on here and have a voice on who could b their next football coach. Everyone, that I have heard on here that states an opinion is everyone BUT Waldron Itself. I have no dog in the fight, but I think that everyone should have compassion for the kids that play for Waldron and who can't even seem to ever win a game. That is hard for kids, to go all thru their school years almost winless. I would just like to see that changed for them. Sorry, to put kids 1st but that again is my personal opinion as I have stated on here many times. No need to b nasty bout it, u made ur point and when the next head coach is announced then No One in Waldron should b able to disagree with it. Consider this my last post. Didn't mean to offend U. Coach V. maybe pulling a fast one but at least he keeps this post from being so boring.lol. & Who knows he did say Perry interviewed! He may have hit the Nail right on the head. I guess we will have to wait and see. Would also like to add He has been more right than any of us.

I just find it interesting that a community that says they have a LOVE for football and spend 5mil on a Great Field can not some how come on here and have a voice on who could b their next football coach. Everyone, that I have heard on here that states an opinion is everyone BUT Waldron Itself. I have no dog in the fight, but I think that everyone should have compassion for the kids that play for Waldron and who can't even seem to ever win a game. That is hard for kids, to go all thru their school years almost winless. I would just like to see that changed for them. Sorry, to put kids 1st but that again is my personal opinion as I have stated on here many times. No need to b nasty bout it, u made ur point and when the next head coach is announced then No One in Waldron should b able to disagree with it. Consider this my last post. Didn't mean to offend U. Coach V. maybe pulling a fast one but at least he keeps this post from being so boring.lol. & Who knows he did say Perry interviewed! He may have hit the Nail right on the head. I guess we will have to wait and see. Would also like to add He has been more right than any of us.
Thanks for clearing that up Coach V! My post was asking why you put "+1 for Coach V! ;) I don't know how u do it but u do!" and I got nothing? It wasn't a personal attack DogsWin7, geez, all I did was quote you! Of course this is about the kids and wanting the best for the kids. You didn't offend me at all and sorry if I offended you. I just thought it was funny that you said you didn't have a dog in the fight, you're not from Waldron, and you even said I shouldn't post on here I should keep my opinions to myself and then you posted 55 times, that's all I was saying, that to me was funny! You can post all you want! The new school, new stadium, new coach, it's all for the betterment of our kids and we all long for a common goal to have a winning school both academically and athletically!

What has Coach V done that has impressed you? All he's done is say twice that it was going to be announced in a few days with no results, even went as far as to say by Jan. 10 this will be a "done deal" and that Waldron is going to be blown away by the hire? And it's not Perry! So far nothing he's said has been true, so what impressed you DogsWin7? Please let us know, because nothing he's said so far has been credible? Of course, doesn't sound like it would take much to impress you with all the flip-flopping you've done on this thread. For someone who doesn't have a "dog in this fight" and not from Waldron LOL!! You sure have a lot of inside information and you're sure sticking your nose right in the middle of everything leading the way with 55 posts on this thread so far!

Hey man...don't let some jerkwad keep you from posting. If he doesn't like what is posted nobody is forcing him to read it. Keep on posting brother...
I haven't called anyone any names on here and now not only are you not credible, but you're also classless. Wow and you have Coach in front of your name? No real coach would act that way! I just said thanks for clearing it up and then told him to post all he wanted and also said sorry if I offended him and explained what I said and I get this! Low Class Sir!
Oooookkkk lets relieve some tension. Haha IF Perry is hired would it be smart of him to run the spread?? I think he should run some sort of smash mouth offense. That's just my opinion though.
Goodbetterbetz ur answer for +1=Post on Politic's. Coach V. and a lot of us post on different threads on this website. U seem to get riled-up over Coach V. possibly being right but he has stated many times what he post's is sometimes a joke. Even I can tell that. Retirement in older age, I guess brings us to post on Football threads. I am to OLD FOR THIS STUFF! FLIP-FLOP, NO- I have a right to change my opinion. That's what i love bout this great country. Mainly, post a guess or what's been rumored and combine that with all other rumors and see what u get. 1 big rumor but sometimes it can lead to the truth or it's just a funny to read.

I hear ya! LOL I agree with you 100%! If it is Perry, I hope he deviates from the spread, because we've proven for the past three years that it won't work here! (I guess I should end with that's just my opinion like you so I don't get in any more trouble on here lol)

I don't have a problem with Coach V at all. Well other than the fact that he called me a jerkwad I was just pushing buttons like everyone else on here to get info or see if info is correct wasn't anything personal attached to it. And again if I offended you I apologize! There was no way for me to know that your post on a football thread was political. I was guessing maybe you heard something about a new coach and were confirming that with Coach V. Maybe you can see where I was coming from on that now?

If he has even been interviewed, or even considers takin the waldron job, he can run whatever he want's with a playbook of offensive play as big as a dictionary according to Ballplayer1. I googled Coach Perry and looks like Ballplayer1 could b right. Although, like u stated May would know the B. team like the back of his hand if he is hired. Who know's who will be hired? like I believe someone else said: It's waldron, they will find a way to screw it up! Which I don't want to see happen for the kids. Go with SMASH MOUTH and RUN LIKE THE WIND! All's forgivin GoodBetterBetz. I just need more coffee not to b so cranky! lol
I said back in November, I think with my first post on this thread. Waldron needs to run a triple option style of offense, and mix in the play action every now and then. You can do that out of a spread look, the problem is you still need the spread type of personnel. Does Waldron have that type of player running around in Scott County? This I can't answer for you.
I heard mention of Lake Hinkle earlier, took me back to my days as a young Wendell Robinson and going fishing, swimming, and camping with my family. Of course, that was back when we lived in Hon...If you know where that is, then I know you are a true Waldronite/Scott County resident.

Have been to Lake Hinkle a time or 2 to go to family reunions. GREAT PLACE! That's all, it's been years. I only hear bout what goes on in waldron from relatives and some friends I have down there. I read in the paper the Football Scores and that keeps me informed what goes on as well. Hope who ever they hire can turn it around.
Hey, Coach V. I decided to keep on postin brother!!!!lol ;D I look forward to the New Coach Announcement Soon don't U? ;D
I actually said that quote "its Waldron they'll find a way to screw it up" haha and honestly its just been true on the fball field. Anytime they are tied or in the lead, they well screw it up. And its usually a ridiculous play That deserves to be on ESPN not top ten. Now Waldron people dont take that the wrong way. I want to see you make strides and build it up. Which I felt like this year you were really competitive in conf. And from my source Perry has interviewed. And also it doesn't matter how big your playbook is. You can run 8 plays or 80 its still about "timing and execution" the great Don Campbell has said many times. You as a coach and player may know its coming but you still gotta stop it. That's why I love the double wing, you can try and overload to stop the power toss but is soon as you do I'm gonna call fb trap or fb wedge. Just a suggestion of a offense they could run.

I like the way u think!
I for one am amazed that Waldron hasn't hired a coach when it is obvious that there are quite a few championship caliber coaches on this forum ;) May the administration should spend less time interviewing and more time on FF!

Me classless? Try looking in the mirror son. You basically called me a liar, but have yet to prove me wrong. A certain coach was interested and the reasons he was not hired are true. His name has not been revealed because he currently coaches at another school and if things did not work out he did not want his kids to find out in that manner. He is a friend of mine so I kept the secret, as any true friend would do. I am sure before this is all over his name will come out and everyone will find out that Waldron screwed the pooch again. As for Perry, I know for a FACT that he has been interviewed and also that if offered he will not take the job. Some high demands will be made and it is painfully obvious that Waldron will not meet them. So, take it for what it is worth but jumping on dgoswin7 was uncalled for. If you don't like the posts or whatever then don't read them. Pretty easy concept to understand I would think...but if you want to sling the names out there junior, I can get in the mud with the best of them.

Amen! Coach V.
After reading and keeping up with this thread I have a few Questions. First if a program is going to spend 5 million dollars to put in a new stadium and facilities, the why would they not want to hire the best available coach? Second again it seems silly that if you are trying to get the best available coach and he wants to bring with him what is going to make the program a success then why would you not let him bring what he needs? Last thing why would you drag your feet so bad in hiring a coach unless as a school district you are very divided on who and what direction you want to go? From the outside looking in this looks like a real bad situation that the really good coach's after looking at it are running fast and far from it. This is JMHO.

Spot on post...
I'm just wondering how coach v knows "for a fact" that Perry would turn down the job if offered. It is always a bad idea to claim fact if you are not the person in question and obviously coach v is NOT Perry. Just sayin...
That HAMMER did meet Nail! :D Meant, for Panther 13 and Coach V.
Cause most Coaches r friends. They keep up with what goes on. u don't know that Coach V and Coach Perry didn't work together or go to school together. Usually, thru ball u have meet one another or have played somewhere together. Just sayin.........
That's Waldron for ya....

this thread is the best thing going since all my children went off the air.
Well dogs7, in an attempt to keep my privacy I will not tell you exactly how I know, but I will allude to my how I know so much. First of I do not live in Arkansas, but I could (if I wanted to take the time) drive you to each house that he has lived in over the past 20 years (which as I'm certain you know includes Alabama). I also know the names of all of his family members and where they live and for that matter I know all of his wife's family as well.

Well then by all indicators I would say u know a Great Guy! Seems on all thing's google and other coaches his reputation speaks for itself. I hope for 1 that if he has interviewed at Waldron he considers taking the job so that I can drive down and witness Waldron Win some Games! :D
And put this thread to rest!

Dogs, no sir I am not his best friend, and you are correct he is a great guy. There are not enough ways to express how blessed my family and I are to have him in our life.

And its usually a ridiculous play That deserves to be on ESPN not top ten. Now Waldron people dont take that the wrong way. I want to see you make strides and build it up. Which I felt like this year you were really competitive in conf. And from my source Perry has interviewed. And also it doesn't matter how big your playbook is. You can run 8 plays or 80 its still about "timing and execution" the great Don Campbell has said many times. You as a coach and player may know its coming but you still gotta stop it. That's why I love the double wing, you can try and overload to stop the power toss but is soon as you do I'm gonna call fb trap or fb wedge. Just a suggestion of a offense they could run.
If anyone was to look at Mike Leach's playbook they would learn that he has exactly 14 plays, they just line up in about 25 to 30 different formations to run those plays. And I would say that he has been pretty successful.
But when all is said and done, I think you and I are on the same page with what type of offense Waldron should put out on the field.

+1000 for Coach.V!
When reading all this Coach V and DogsWin7 is the same person.
As I've been following this topic, partly because I've been bored at times and partly to keep up with what my fellow Gravette fan, Wendell Robinson, has been contributing, ;D I keep thinking about the similarities between Waldron and Gravette:
1. Both wear black and orange, no small factor--bet the Warren and Nashville posters would agree! ;D
2. Although Gravette is part of the NWA metro, it really is on the northwest corner looking in on the "rich" city boys, for the most part. We have our farm boys, our cowboys and folks struggling to keep their heads above water, just like Waldron.
3. In the past five years both have built stadiums that are among the best in 4A in the state.
4. The diversity of the school districts is probably close to the same...putting it politically correct, not much "athleticism" or "speed" as defined by most folks.
Until 2005 Gravette was known as a "wishbone" school. The Lions had some good regular seasons and some medicore ones, but, when they made the playoffs, we fans came to expect to lose by wide margins as the opponent scored almost at will, usually on long passes and long kick returns. Then our Gravette poster's "namesake," Wendell Robinson, came to town from Texas, where he had retired after winning small-school state championships there. He stayed only one year, but took that team to the state quarterfinals before losing to CAC. Then Bill Harrrelson came to Gravette, and in his five years since then the Lions have finished as champion, runnerup or tied for runnerup in the 1-4A every year, and have made it to the semifinals and quarterfinals of the playoffs.
I guess all I'm really saying is that there is hope for Waldron if they get the right coach for them.

Sorry, but you are way off. Have no idea who dogs is...and to be serious, could care less about Waldron. I was only interested because a friend of mine applied...

I know, can u believe it! I bet Waldron Can't!!
& NO, NO and NO. Coach V. & me r not the same... ::)
Waldron has had some successful years in the past, though they have been few and far between. It's really just been a matter of finding someone that wants to be there. Find a coach that wants to stay in Waldron and is comitted to the kids, willing to build a program and be involved in the community. They need to build something without the Wade Hill's and Sean Kearney's (sp) of Scott County.

I thought Coach R. had mentioned in a interview with the new or maybe it was n the newspaper that Sean Kearney (sp) was a move n from Texas? been yrs ago can't b for sure..isn't that when waldron won their conference? so, That would leave Hill as the only Waldronite, isn't that how u phrased it?
Kearney went to school in Waldron from first grade on. If that doesnt make you a waldronite I don't know what does

Yes he did. I coached him in summer league baseball a couple of years. Great athlete...

Its been 3 months.
Yes, it definately makes u a 'waldronite'(whatever that is) if u went to school at waldron. I thought he moved there like his senior yr. my bad.
sounds to me like maybe waldron didn't have as many apply as they want us to believe. why else b so shut-up about it.

It took Stuttgart a while to get the ball rolling last year when they we in the same situation. Fast hire does not always equate into a good hire.
I watched Waldron a few times over the past few years. Problem I see is lack of speed and lack of knowledge of the game. Hard to win at a place when the majority of kids like hunting and fishing more than playing ball

I heard he has added the pre-battle speech from "300" as well as "Bravehart" to his repertoire for the upcoming season! Keep checking youtube for further updates.
L.O.L!!! Someone should get him back on FF.
He'll never come back! We ran him off by laughing at him too much. Besides, he messed up any shot he had of ever getting a job in Arkansas when he came on here and started arguing with people, one of which, I'm pretty sure was an administrator. And if I was an admin somewhere, I would never have considered him for a position in the first place. An educator of any kind should know the difference between; there, their, and they're; you and you're; and its and it's. Which were common mistakes in the majority of his posts.
Sorry boys, I guess I've been to busy, hiring my staff. And I hate to inform all you smart guys, but those speeches and what not, those are what got me hired at the largest school in the Springs, and in the best conference in the state. One day, most of the posers, which is what the people on this board are, will wake up and realize what century they live in. I do wish Waldron the best, but honestly, with the people that seem to have their interest in heart, well, they will never go in one direction.
The funny thing is, one of the haters who was bashing me, actually p.m.ed me asking if i would be interested in him on my staff.
POSERS
Have fun in CO, we have all heard you talk about the great football they play out there. Posers... if you and Tim Tebow were not BFFs, I would call you a dirty name.
ooohhhhhh

Say What? What's Tebow got to do with waldron?
Hey Oldman, it says u have 8 championships do u care to tell Waldron how it's done?
Starting with
#1-hire a coach! lol( i bet one's going to b hired soon)
#2- i'll leave for u, cause i agree- 3 to 4 months ain't fast but phdefense makes a good point.
The reason the kids like hunting and fishing is cause it ain't losing a game. It's all they have beenable to have fun at up to this point and it needs to STOP ASAP!
Im sure Oldman can give you some pointers. At least he has seen some real football. I didn't even know Waldron was a town in Arkansas until this comical thread.

find someone who really wants the job. someone who is excited and will get the kids excited. don't listen to the town on who to hire. go get a good coach and let him run the show. give him a few years to get things turned around.
I couldn't AGREE with U more!
This post has become so non-informational that we need to get hillbilly, dogdad7, husky and everyone else back on FF!!!!!!
Funny, vast majority of people in town wanted the guy that the kids were excited about and already had support. But no let's not do that.

yep, i have been giving this some thought. what's the asst. name that's been at waldron for awhile, lipham? i think it should go to him by default. who knows, he might end up being the best coach waldron has ever had.
#1 he is a good person
#2 he cares about the kids (so i have been told)
#3 he is a great track coach (record speaks for itself)
#4 he is from waldron( i think, not sure)
#5 he and his wife volunteer a lot of time to the school ( cheer coach, i believe i heard)
#6 he has kids coming up in the program himself ( i think)
#7 he is a christian ( should b listed #1)
#8 he would have opportunity to build pee-wee teams( if waldron even has any, not sure)
#9 he cares about their grades( he has to teach as a coach as well, i imagine)
#10 he has to have patience( he has been at waldron a while now)
yep, problem solved! waldron need's to look in their own back door. there is a old saying' u can lead a horse to water but u can't make him drink. well, i think patience, nobility, enthusiasm ( means get kids excitied) hard work ethics, commitment, hometown support, yep- sound's good. i have yet to hear anything negative on this post bout him. i don't even think he has even been mentioned. oh well, i don't know him personally but have heard good things. just my 2 cents worth (means opinion).

I would imagine that if he really wanted the job he has applied for it. But just because he is an asst. does not mean that he wants the job. He may be happy doing his thing with track. JMO
is lipham the oc? If so they've been running the pistol and it hasn't done them good. Especially if they dont have kids that can catch it, ive seen them in 7on7 usually their tb is the reason they complete a pass. Now if he was running that cause of klatt then I understand. But get away from the spread as best as you can.
Yeah coach lipham is the oc and he is running the offence the way he wants to. he likes to spread the ball out and throw it. but waldron ain't the "Patriots" we don't have a tom Brady. he plays favoritism to all the kids that go to his Church instead of the best man. He wasn't a bad coach when he was the dc but when he got to the offence it went down hill. Yeah he is a good girls track coach but i would only keep him for that not football.

theres a reason for him not getting the job before klatt. if they do hire him the program will only be looking for another coach in the near future. he is a good guy but coaching football i cant totaly agree on that. Hes not shown any progress since he got there.

UGHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Ok ok, I'll solve everyones problem! I'm gonna drive right up to Waldron and walk in lay down my resume and ask where do I sign. I'll run the double wing offense and a multiple 4-3, 4-4 defense and mix in cover 3 and cover 4. Annnnndddd I'll make sure my players "have the chest" to play for OUR program and for OUR town. And the program will be successfu, that may not result in a winning record in my first year but eventually the wins will come. We will win in the classroom, weight room and on the field. Thank you have a nice day ;) :D
Ok all seriousness if this "rumor" is true then its bout dang time they found someone.

don't u mean ur source? ;) hahaha... just messin' with ya. do u know who? haven't heard from iknowmorethanu lately.
Well then I would have to guess that it is one of two things if it isn't a homerun. One it is an assistant from some where that is unproven or Two it is an older coach who has been around the block a time or two an is withen 4 or 5 years of retirement. The first option could turn out OK if he surrounds him self with quality coaches who will work. The second option put them right back where the started from in a few years unless he can convince some really good assistance to join him there. JMO
Oh, I'm here Dogs, I just have't had much to say. No news on a coach yet? Yall better hurry and get one, it sure is getting close to time for spring practice! ;D

At the game Friday night rumors were swirling that a former Mansfield coach was the leading candidate. Kinda hard to believe though, this guy hasn't coached in about 5 years...

That is due to a lack of fans pressuring board members for information about what is going on with the hiring of a new coach. That also shows a lack of booster and fan involvement in the hiring process. jmo. :(

Earlier I posted on here about the similarities between Gravette and Waldron. When Wendell Robinson, the retired Texas coach, was hired by Gravette not long before the start of the 2005 season, it seemed that nobody gave a darn. Now, six years into the Bill Harrelson regime, if he ever leaves (heaven forbid), the torch-bearing faithful probably will be marching on the board members' homes every night until a suitable replacement is named. That's what a winning football program will do!
While, what GLion says is true, the Gravette situation was a little bit different. The former coached annonunced his retirement in June and it was believed by most that Gravette would just hire internally. However, a few board members and administrators heard about a coaches clinic
going on in San Antonio, TX over the July 4 weekend. The middle school principal at the time just happened to be on
vacation there and attended the conference and asked
around. Several coaches told him about a coach that had
retired but wanted to get back into coaching and it might
be worth calling. The man they told him about was Wendell
Robinson, a small school Texas legend, who at the time of
his retirement was ranked 4th on the all time wins list in TX. He came to Gravette and loved it, was planning on staying for a few years. "Long enough to win a state championship" as he put it. Unfortunately, a disagreement
over assistant coaches with the school board resulted in
his re-retirement. The next year, Gravette hired Coach
Harrelson, who was thought by many to be the coach in
waiting at Fayetteville. After a 4-6 first season, the Lions
went to the semifinals in year 2 and if not for a school
named Shiloh would have won 5 straight conference
championships going into this year.
And my phone totally butchered that post. I'll fix it later...maybe
As anyone who reads my posts and Wendell's posts figured out long ago, Wendell is much more of an insider with the Gravette program than I am, and I always seem to learn something new when he posts. What I only remember is that during that summer I began to worry that Gravette might not have a head football coach that fall and that no one I asked about the situation knew any more than I did and, worse yet, didn't seem to care. By comparison, Waldron is way ahead of where Gravette was at this point in naming a new coach.
? ;D
i'm thinking they must be a basketball town.

They are an average basketball team usually oldman. Same in baseball. They are not just real dominate in anything. Now girls volleyball they one of the better teams on this side of the state. Usually comes down to mena or Waldron in their conf for the championship
Dogs7 I said I would take the job. I said that jokingly then but if I was finished with college and had my coaching license, I really would. Crazy? Yeah a little bit. My personal goal is to be a high school head coach by the age of 30 and to do that you gotta apply everywhere and take career risks. And Waldron is just that. A career risk. But you can only be down for so long then something has got to give. Come on Waldron, you messed up on venny's guy. Sounds like may has pulled out and now Perry? Who knows!?!

I heard they are pretty good in Golf as well, have a friends kid who plays for us at G. and they had to play waldron, said they are a strong team.
Yes, it would definately be for the young at heart, the waldron job. I didn't say it couldn't be done( turn things around). I have said, It can be. But they are going to have to get a move on if they want to be prepared for next football season i would think.. (my opinion)
one of these days I'm gonna check this post and Waldron will have actually hired a coach.

GLion and Wendell you seem to be very wise oh great leaders, but how on earth do you get a town involved in football when essentially it appears to have been killed? No care of a coach it seems(no one has posted from waldron i don't think), no care of a new stadium( no pictures ever put up to potentially show-off to get a coach to want to go to waldron) no care to school board members( they don't seem to be in any hurry to get a coach hired it has been 4 months), NOTHIN'-NOTHIN'and more NOTHIN' is what has been projected this far.
Earlier on pg 1 or 2 of this long, drawn out thread someone stated that student numbers would soon get waldron schools. if so, that could mean reduction. how many coaches want to go to a school that hang's in the balance? I don't know if it's true but it Seems like a HUGE undertaking would have to take place and a Coach would have to thrive on a CHALLENGE!
Is anyone beating down Waldron's door? We all have asked on here" who has even applied?" -NOTHIN' no word but on 2 coaches. Boggles the mind!!! perhaps Panther13 ur right along with Oldman..... HELLO WALDRON_ANYONE OUT THERE????
I try and post any info that I get, but there is not a lot of info provided by the school. I don't make stuff up just to be able to post.
Good point. Patience is a Virtue I have been told. Im not to good at it. I still for 1 think Waldron is going to put on 1 heck of a Magic Show when they announce the New Head Coach. Just wait, the envy of every school. Coach V. will even have to congratulate waldron! :)

DogsWin7 in order to get the fan base to be excited and care about the football team Waldron will have to hire a dedicated and passionate coach who not only inspires his team but gets involved with the comunity. The coach will also have to start winning to build on his work with the team and community. Winning will get even more people involved and it just snowballs from there into a monster that everone is passionate about. Maybe one day they will have a booster club too.

Waldron has a booster club, but like everything else it is hard to get people involved. I would sure welcome any ideas on how to get involvement. Maybe hiring a good coach and winning some games will get things started.

How much does it cost to be a booster at Waldron and what does it include? That will give me a starting point to compare an give you some ideas.
I think at G the Coach has the players go to the businesses and thank them for their support, a lot like a university. Banners that the community buys to help support the teams is a given at G. Could start there i guess, don't really know the cost of booster though. but either way, we have a great big media day, kids love that stuff. just my opinion. might could also give away those footballs, whistles, poms for the girls (cheerleader support too)
dogdad07 im sure hiring a good coach will help take care of alot of it, wins get everyone excited.

Watch it....................that's not funny when you are talking about a great organization that a lot of parents and fans volunteer their time to. Booster Clubs are part of the foundation to Great Football Programs. It allows money$$$$ to be used on student athlete's who have dedicated their self to a program emotionally and physically plus hard work educationally. It is not the fault of the kid's that the football program is not doing as well as expected nor the fans or booster club. Everyone who is a Fan of Sports wants to help all the kids succeed and win not just games but personally. (my opinion) Play nice Oldman..............someone such as yourself having 8 championships should know this by now.
Not having a Coach yet is 1 thing but do not start trashin' the club's and fans who want to help.
i have no idea what the booster club at waldron charges or if they even have one. by saying they have no %^%$%^% clue what is going on i'm just stating a fact, not trashing them. 9 pages of " i have no ^%^&*&^% clue what is going on" kinda backs me up, dont ya think?

It's raining, its pouring, the oldman is snoring, he jumped in bed and bumped his head and didn't get up till the morning.

I think dogdad07 was only trying to get information in order to help the situation. That is why he asked for suggestions.

i'm pretty sure coach v is not a member of the waldron booster club and i am in a great mood.
Yes u r right again! Coach V. is a TIGER! (pretty sure)
and I am glad you are in such a great mood! ;D but r u in enough of a great mood to call the Waldron Administration and ask them where they are in regards to hiring a head football coach?
I am going to go out on a limb here(crazy I know) and say that by the end of next week WALDRON will have their COACH!(the Lord willin') I just pray it's PERRY! ( he's the only 1 with enough ----s to take the job). Those Bulldogs deserve a chance.
Well first I have got to say the 13th has come and gone with no announcement of a coach in Waldron so as they say it's back to the drawing board. This is starting to turn into a real joke now.
The second thing is our booster club does the signs from the businesses, we do several cookouts to raise money, we get donations of things to raffle off, we charge $100 dollars for membership which includes season passes to all the home games in all sports, and our local churches feed the football team a pregame meal before each home game. We have volunteers from the club work the consesion stand and gate at all the games plus volunteer for all the events that we put on. I hope this helps a little bit.

I am going to go out on a limb here(crazy I know) and say that by the end of next week WALDRON will have their COACH!(the Lord willin') I just pray it's PERRY! ( he's the only 1 with enough ----s to take the job). Those Bulldogs deserve a chance.
i called, they said they just aren't sure, but plan on hiring a coach for sure by august 1st. the first 3 people i talked with didn't know they needed a football coach but were really excited about girls volleyball season.

Alright, point taken.
+1 for Oldman. Hard trying to compete with a seasoned veteran. I commend you.
Got a thing or 2 still to learn i guess on here. :D

GLion and Wendell you seem to be very wise oh great leaders, but how on earth do you get a town involved in football when essentially it appears to have been killed? NOTHIN'-NOTHIN'and more NOTHIN' is what has been projected this far.
Earlier on pg 1 or 2,3 of this long, drawn out thread someone stated that student numbers would soon get waldron schools. if so, that could mean a problem. I don't know if it's true but it Seems like a HUGE undertaking would have to take place and a Coach would have to thrive on a CHALLENGE! maybe they are out looking for a coach.
Is anyone beating down Waldron's door? Who knows? We all have asked on here" who has even applied?" -NOTHIN' no word but on 2 coaches. Boggles the mind!!! perhaps Panther13 ur right along with Oldman..... HELLO WALDRON_ANYONE OUT THERE????
DogsWin7 in order to get the fan base to be excited and care about the football team Waldron will have to hire a dedicated and passionate coach who not only inspires his team but gets involved with the comunity. The coach will also have to start winning to build on his work with the team and community. Winning will get even more people involved and it just snowballs from there into a monster that everone is passionate about. Maybe one day they will have a booster club too.
Waldron has a booster club, but like everything else it is hard to get people involved. I would sure welcome any ideas on how to get involvement. Maybe hiring a good coach and winning some games will get things started.
How much does it cost to be a booster at Waldron and what does it include? That will give me a starting point to compare an give you some ideas.
$25 per year and it includes not having a &+&%$%# clue what is going on. what a bargain.
Watch it....................that's not funny when you are talking about a great organization that a lot of parents and fans volunteer their time to. Booster Clubs are part of the foundation to Great Football Programs. It allows money$$$$ to be used on student athlete's who have dedicated their self to a program emotionally and physically plus hard work educationally. It is not the fault of the kid's that the football program is not doing as well as expected nor the fans or booster club. Everyone who is a Fan of Sports wants to help all the kids succeed and win not just games but personally. (my opinion) Play nice Oldman..............someone such as yourself having 8 championships should know this by now.
Not having a Coach yet is 1 thing but do not start trashin' the club's and fans who want to help.
Quote from: DogsWin7 on February 14, 2012, 04:04:16 pm
I think at G the Coach has the players go to the businesses and thank them for their support, a lot like a university. Banners that the community buys to help support the teams is a given at G. Could start there i guess, don't really know the cost of booster though. but either way, we have a great big media day, kids love that stuff. just my opinion. might could also give away those footballs, whistles, poms for the girls (cheerleader support too)
dogdad07 im sure hiring a good coach will help take care of alot of it, wins get everyone excited.
The main thing Waldron needs to do is get behind the new coach no matter who it is. He needs the support of the community and the parents. He needs several of you to form a good sound Booster Club. A good Booster Club can go a long ways. When a coach can pretty much order anything he wants by making 1 phone call it means a lot, and it shows great support for what he is trying to accomplish. There are enough businesses in Waldron to raise a lot of money. It takes dedicated people to go out and work the community and raise the funds needed to support the team. Sell banners to hang on the fences from local businesses. We sell 2 different sizes 3x3 and a 3x6,big money makers. Have little league basketball tourneys,have golf tourneys, i know you can do this with a course in town. Matter a fact we used it for ours. Little league baseball tourneys draw in moms,dads,siblings and grand parents. Texas hold em poker tourneys are legal done in the right way. Sell t-shirts,hats,key chains,flags for cars,signs for cars, licence plates. There are so many things you can do once you get started. It just takes some dedicated individuals to carry it out.
When Gill came to Mansfield we didn't know what we were getting. He was a assistant at Rison with no head coaching experience. But several of us got behind him and did the things i mentioned in the above paragraph and things worked out pretty good. Its all about support.
With a new coach coming to town you will hear some grumbling. Like parents griping about longer practices, having to lift weights on off days and through the summer. Running Gasser's for missing practice or a meeting (here it doesn't matter if you have a letter from the doctor or not,your running). You got to get behind him and support these things to. Your student participation will drop because the ones use to a powder puff practice wont be able to take it,but you will be left with kids who really want to be on the Field. Gill had a parent come in and complain that little Johnny wasn't running Gasser's because he had a note from the doctor, Gill said he can run them or you can run them for him,whats it gonna be. lol Its all about SUPPORT,and backing him in every fashion.
now i have a headache.

just kidding, those are some great ideas for fundraisers. the main thing is finding people that will work. there aren't many that will if their kids aren't playing and some of those will quit because he isn't playing enough or the right position.
Could have a tailgate before games. I think I saw on channel 5 last yr. that Southside High School does a lot of fundraising efforts under tents. Having T-shirts, banners etc for sale like u mentioned Recruiter. 1st someone needs to inform Waldron of Fearless Friday because some Coaches do read these messages boards and it could help actually get them a coach.

Your right some will fade out. Here we had no Booster Club and no support at all. We were everyones homecoming. We started with 2 men getting behind Gill when he arrived and now everyone supports him.

Let them know for sure about fearless because if you know where 98% of these posters on this thread are from you would know they are not from Waldron. Then I would step up and put the number at 95% are not even from schools in the same conference.
We also sell the gear and do golf tournaments. It is just hard to remember all the things we do to raise money. The recruiter is right about a coach being able to pick up the phone and get things took care of so that he doesn't have to worry about the necessities.

school board members and administrators too if I had to guess.
You make a good point Panther13. I said someone needs to, anyone on here have any friends in Waldron to tell about Fearless Friday? I have a few relatives and friends that live in waldron but they r older, no kids in school anymore. This is all starting to raise my bloodpressure, im way to old for this stuff.

Warren is in need of a coach? Where did hembree go?
Forum On Football Coaching openings 2011-2012 it was posted that Warren and Nettleton both need an Asst. Football Coach. Also, listed Union Christian in earlier posts.
All i know. Waldron is a 4A school with a multi-million $ new stadium
Well guys, sorry I don't have any good news for you, but I do know who the coach won't be. Maybe yall should hang on for a rough few years of football ahead of you, at least until some things get realized and changed. Best of luck!

Well, if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be. I'm sure Waldron will not have any problems finding a coach who really truly wants the job. It is a great opportunity for a Coach to go to Waldron and have a New Stadium, and be able to build something from there. I think I even heard that they have future plans to build a indoor practice facility, and that would be great for a coach to get in on. In fact, I heard that they have had someone that also has some state championships wanting to go to Waldron, and are working out the details. (rumor is) Don't quote me on that. Wish the person u know the best of luck!
Told ya'll Coach V. and his sources or intuition is hard to beat on here. ;) I need to figure out how he does it. Do u remember Coach Wagner from Mansfield in the late 50's early 60's? Man, if he was around..........
Waldron is always dragging their feet in everything they do...heard (rumor) that Coach May had withdrawn his resume...Coach May is a winner...Waldron needs a big time coach to go along with their new FB field & Coach May could have been the one...but it's Waldron they do things different there...new FB field and one win a year the last 4 years...they did win one game on the new field Subi (HC)...7th grade was the first to win on the new field..
Exclusion is the highest form of flattery, Thanks. Work Hard, Do Your Best, Keep Your Word,
Never Get Too Big For Your Britches,
Trust In God and Never Forget a Friend
I am ready for Greenwood Highschool Football! Good Luck Waldron! 1 thing we have in common is a Great Mascot!

I know a school board member...as for Wagner, I don't remember him...
Coach Jerry Wagoner was Mansfield head coach a little more than 50 yrs ago. (boy, longtime ago- pretty sure anyway) known as Coach Wag. School Board members would definately know. Good source. Heard any new new's you care to share? I only know some Coaches around the area schools.

I am.
I applied for the Waldron job. Or at least sent a resume and a letter of interest. Having no experience as a head football coach (except for junior high) I had no real expectations of being interview much less hired.
So I vented at the person reviewing resumes at Waldron.
I pointed out that there was no relationship between the success of highly experienced, veteran coaches and brand new inexperienced coaches. That one was just as likely to succeed or fail as the other.
And that in fact experience could serve to impede or undermine a head coach just as much as it benefits him.
A veteran head coach with a history of accomplishment virtually always wants to duplicate that success THE SAME WAY at a new school. Head coaches are very conservative. They want to stick with the same systems that have worked for them in the past and are reluctant to adapt to different circumstances including radically different personnel at different schools.
Just as Joan of Arc (with no experience whatsoever leading an army) succeeded during the Hundred Years War where countless combat veterans had failed, sometimes you need a coach who doesn't have years of experience binding him to a certain system.
I pointed out that "hiring an experienced coach" is basically "a** covering for administrators".
If an experienced head coach fails, an administrator can always simply say
"Well, we hired the most experienced coach we could find"
On the other hand, if an inexperienced head coach fails, all the fans and the booster club start screaming
"Why didn't you hire a more experienced head coach!!!!???"

I think you must be confused. Tight End has only had 1 post ever on FF, take a look!
I just made a guess that you were a coach, Joan of Arc huh? oooooookkkkk. Do you know husky? ;D Well, looks like waldron has not yet hired a coach, maybe you should call them. just a suggestion. You might want to read the entire thread before making comments, cause if you had bother to read it, you would have known that almost all of us on here are not from Waldron. And if Tight End is reviewing resumes' you probably just blew your chance, cause a lot of Coaches, Schoolboard members, administrators, etc. read FF. but you can hold out hope cause apparently no one from Waldron does.

I've read the entire thread and followed it closely.
I'm very fond of Waldron. I used to stop through there frequently when I was in retail management in Greenwood.
My "rant" has little or nothing to do with Waldron actually. It has to do with the constant mantra from people here and elsewhere who seem to think that a coach being a success elsewhere (sometimes YEARS past) automatically should put them on top of the list in a different school in radically different circumstances.
It's kind of like when any job tells you they can't hire you because "you don't have enough experience". How are you supposed to get experience when no one will hire you because you don't have enough? ANY coach going into Waldron will probably struggle in year 1, probably again in year 2. Might as well go with a guy who has no head coaching experience. Why? Because he'll have some fire in his gut for the job. Have passion and it will show in your kids. A brand new coach will coach with something to prove. If it works out, you look like a genius. If it doesn't work out, then you haven't lost anything and you gave someone a chance to prove themselves.
I take it you are a young whippersnapper? Maybe you should go and start applying in person for the jobs that you are interested in. It couldn't hurt. From personal experience, it's harder for someone to say no if they meet ya. Everyone has to start sometime, you just need to find a school willing to give you a chance. Maybe Waldron?
^Amen.
Makes a lot more sense than this perpetual search for "Mike: The Magic Coach".

good post - risk aversion - take a risk and you're wrong, you're accountable...make a safe choice and you're wrong, it's the coach they blame and not the one(s) that hired him
I do disagree that there is no relationship between the success of highly experienced coaches and inexperienced coaches. An experienced coach has a track record...either good or bad. You can get a better idea about how he will do than you can a guy like you or I who have no head coaching experience. You can guess how good a young guy is based on his background or his interview, but it is just a guess. It's a guess with an experienced guy, but it's a much more educated guess.
Don't get me wrong, if I were applying for the Waldron job, I'd think I was the best man for the job, as you should as well. I think everyone that applies for a job should think that about themselves. Not that they are the most qualified, but that they would be the best person for it.
Without going back through this thread, did they ever publish all the coaches who actually applied at Waldron?
As for my opinion, if Tim Perry really applied and interviewed, I would take him in a heartbeat. I'm biased because he is a friend of mine, but I really do think he is a very good head coach and has proven as much.

I like Tim Perry too. I can tell you a hilarious story about when he interviewed me in 2005 for an assistant coaching position at CAC.
I didn't get it but I did come away mightily impressed with CAC and their staff.
I know one successful coach who feels like he would turn it around if given the opportunity and he wants the challenge.

Because I may not know everything but in this case I assure you that I know more about Tim Perry than every other person on this thread combined. And that friends is an actual fact.

Well guys, sorry I don't have any good news for you, but I do know who the coach won't be. Maybe yall should hang on for a rough few years of football ahead of you, at least until some things get realized and changed. Best of luck!
According to iknowmorethanu Coach Perry turned down the Waldron job.
but I am curious as to the Coach you and Coach DePriest,PA are speaking of.....
Coach V. any clues? I can not believe you have never heard of Coach Wag. Mansfield was 1 of his first brief Coaching jobs. He then went on to Booneville, then he ended his career in the Sports Hall of Fame after being head coach at University of the Ozarks. He was a great Coach.
i'll come back on page 32 and see if we have a coach. how is the girl's volleyball team doing?

Page 32! You think they will have a coach by page 32? ;)
I don't know how the volleyballteam is, maybe it's time for you to give them another call. lol
I'd guess, better than the football team, cause they have a coach.
If a FF topic goes on long enough, all of us will learn something. Jerry Wagoner and I were friends, and I knew that he had ties to Booneville, but I didn't know he started coaching in Waldron.
I'm beginning to wonder if the Waldron school board isn't trying to make the Waldron football program the best-known 4A program in the state. There's been over 21,000 views of this topic so far...and counting! ;D

Coach Wag started in Mansfield, I stated that if he was still around he could definitely turn around the Waldron Program, i bet you would agree? Anyway, 21,000 views!!!! and all for Waldron. ;D I have tried to end this thread by trying to convince bearcatwhippersnapper and some Dayton Kitchens to go down to Waldron and take the job! Oldman, I guess you are going to have to come out of retirement. It has your name all over it! ;)
i have got good news to tell yall i have applied and got the job lol j.k no i do have a inside source that tells me they are in talk with a coach and the announcement might come as soon as next week

No doubt! Thanks for gently correcting me. I'm embarrassed for misreading "Mansfield" as "Waldron." See...this topic has gotten Waldron on the minds of FF readers everywhere! Jerry coaching at Mansfield is more in line with what I remembered.
Well close to this time last year we had what Stutgart, Newport, Hamburg, and Ozark surprisingly came open. And this year its really just been Waldron, I dont count Nashville cause we all saw that one coming.
And now to I taking the job at Waldron, lol ive said I would do it if I knew they would hire a guy like me. I can picture it now...black sweater vest with orange polo. Then eat some grass for good luck...and I wouldn't wear a head set, Wouldn't need one. When you run the double wing you call your plays based a lot on what the defensive ends are doing.
Now back to reality, I believe almost every program can be successful, it just takes the right coach with the right offensive and defensive schemes. Now there are different types of success. For a place like Waldron my goal as a coach would number 1 beat Mansfield, number 2 beat mena and/or bville. Number 3 have a .500 record. And/or make the playoffs.
bearcatwhippersnapper- I for one am very partial to sweater vests, that's along my era. ;D You would do an excellent job, i have no doubt.
GLion Alum, I just happen to realize that for us in our older age, we tend to make typo's!!!!lol
I knew you meant to say "mansfield". you are right about Waldron in the minds of FF. hey, look it made it to page 11! :o
Now, who is chspirates2008 referring to? Got a name?
Lets see? The only coach i can think of would be well.. lets say he is the opposite of weak........... am i close?
He is a "strong" one.....
hahahaha ;)
Dayton, Dayton, Dayton...OMG...If I am an Administrator and Clay Totty and yourself apply for the job...who am I gonna take? Tim Perry Applies and yourself? Your statement is ridiculously stupid. I would take Totty or Perry over you or any other proven head coach over you. The Waldron job is not gonna be an easy one. It will be kinda like when Gill took Mansfield. TOTAL REBUILD!
I have read your ramblings on the 2A board before about not putting in long hours and not working weekends...well any coach worth his salt in coaching will tell you different. My advice to you is this...find a nice book and curl up at the fireplace and read... ::)
And I agree with car...I wish they would give you the job...another easy win for Mansfield every year... ;)

You do realize the theme song or battle cry from 300 is about to start any minute! Joan of Arc is on his way! ;D Why Coach V. Why, did u do that to all of us? lol Did you not see how he went into detail on page 10.... wait till he logs on.
Thanks for the slap, I needed that to wake me up! :D Who is Dayton Kitchens anyway?

Idk if this is who chspirate is talking about but whatever happened to Mike Guthrie?? He had the Lincoln program on the rise before he took the Cedarville job then did a great job there. Believe he ran the diamond t, which Waldron imo needs a smash mouth offense.
I will check back on page 58 to see if a coach has been hired yet. I feel like this will go WAY past 32 ::)

Coach Guthrie is not the one i was talking about Coach Guthrie is the asst coach at Van Buren although coach guthrie would be a great hire for waldron he is almost in the best postion for a coach that u could ever ask for he is at a school where he gets to work with his wife in which she is the principal at van buren high school. i do not want to say who my source is saying until closer to the announcement because something might fall threw

I won't drop a name. Just know there is someone out there who wants the challenge of turning Waldron in to a winner and he wants is to be offered the chance. After it is announced I'll tell you.
R u maybe referring to yourself? or do you have a relative that's a coach? just asking....
Well, i don't expect you to answer that, that's unfair. plus, you wouldn't be a very good friend to tell something you were asked not too.
The guy I was talking about is a strong candidate as well. And I, too, was wondering if he was related to RMS Coach Davis.

Not the "safe" choice...the "Right" choice...
Guys, let me give you a little insight without throwing a bunch of names out there...
First, the guy that applied that I knew wanted the job, the board and the Super could not come to terms with how many assistants to retain and how many he could bring. The Super was for this guy but the board could not get together on him so he pulled his name early January. The two front runners, May and Perry, were considered but the same scenario, could not get it together with assistants same as the first applicant. I have a pretty good idea who the guy that Coach Davis and Coach DePriest are talking about but I believe that he will run into the same problems. I may be wrong but I can't see him taking the job under these same circumstances, and I may be hearing a different name than they are talking about.
To sum this all up I can tell you in a few words why this process is taking so long..."The Good Ole Boy System"...don't be a bit surprised if this job goes to a new coach with zero experience or a current Waldron assistant...and this folks is what is taking so long...according to my source... ;)
Venny question, did gill have any HC experience when he took the Mansfield job?? If not then what is the difference between him and kitchens? I understand gill came from one of the top programs but still what would be the difference.
Just open it back up and see what happens...... ;D
If the Super and the Board can not agree on a coach and assistants then what else are they disagreeing on and how long till they are looking for a new Super because board members want to be selfish instead of compremising on a few things? This just shows this school probably has deeper problems brewing other than just a coach. JMO I bet this job won't be filled before May at this rate. When you have championship caliber coaches appling for your coaching job I would think that you would make some concessions and make a decision on which best fit your school. If the Board was selfish enough to not give any with three top quality coaches the fan base and boosters should have been in the ears of the board members telling them to reconsider or enjoy your short time on the board. JMHO
I think when this is all settle at Waldron, it will be Lipham, he's from Waldron and has been a Asst for 10 plus years...he is good with the track program but I don't think he can handle the football program....he is already there and the board & Super can get him cheap. I do know a lot of folks wanted Ricky May....

By "The Good Ole Boy System"......Do you mean every coach on here PM everyone asking and telling why they didn't take the Waldron Job or what they "feel" is wrong with the Waldron Job?
That has been going on for decades!! You wouldn't be a coach if you didn't......and most have been around long enough to make decisions for themselves so, Coach V. I will go ahead and give you your +1 now.... cause when your right, your right!!!
Better get a front row seat............I am telling you now.;D

Venny question, did gill have any HC experience when he took the Mansfield job?? If not then what is the difference between him and kitchens? I understand gill came from one of the top programs but still what would be the difference.
Well first of all, Gill came with a very high recomendation from Totty...second he had several other coaches that recomended him highly so I am assuming...well I know he was high on the boards list. Plus...Gill doesn't mind working long hours and weekends...lol...
I feel page 12 coming on.................. ;D

i have got good news to tell yall i have applied and got the job lol j.k no i do have a inside source that tells me they are in talk with a coach and the announcement might come as soon as next week
I think I know of whom you are talking about. I will only say that I'm shocked that he would consider the job. I don't mean this as a knock on the program or town of Waldron at all but just consider it surprising he would leave his present job. After saying that I will say if I were considering taking a coaching job I would jump at the opportunity. Waldron is a small nice friendly town away for the hustle and bustle of a larger city with great fishing at Lake Hinkle and a great place to raise a family. Perhaps that person is thinking the same as I and for that reason he is considering it. Of course the fishing would probably be limited because of the work that will be involved in order to get the program to a position of having a winning attitude.
If that person is whom I think you are speaking and he is indeed awarded the job I will wish him good luck and also the best of luck to the Waldron program in their attempt to build a winning program.....
:(

Well, that depends on the view of the Admin. at the school. Have you called again, and asked if they even received your application and resume? Have you asked if the position has been filled yet(which apparently it ain't if we believe FF)? Have you called and asked if there is something you could do, or possibly any questions you could answer for them? These I have found in old age, are usually helpful because it gets you talking to either the principals or possibly the AD. It can build from there the report you can have, thus PR......
They did notify me that they had received all my information that was requested.
Was this with a personal phone call or a standard email or letter etc? When you talk to people it lets them get to know a little of your personality and questions can build from that. Positive PR....is what you are after as a young coach. in my opinion.
You can use your Name or not when your proven, when you have wins to back you...........hope this helps
Thought the hang up was more the work for the money. Not many assistants anyway, but 1 staff for 7th, jr high, jv and varsity. These coaches all teach a full load and I believe coach a 2nd sport. This sounds like a AA setup. If you want a big time program you need to run a big time program. Don't say we're committing to football with facilities and empty words then not listen when a proven winner tells you what you need to do to be legitimate. Football is hard and can't be more than average without serious commitment from the community, administration, school board and student athletes. If Waldron really wants to be relevant in football they'll do whatever is necessary to make it happen within legal bounds.

Guys, let me give you a little insight without throwing a bunch of names out there...
First, the guy that applied that I knew wanted the job, the board and the Super could not come to terms with how many assistants to retain and how many he could bring. The Super was for this guy but the board could not get together on him so he pulled his name early January. The two front runners, May and Perry, were considered but the same scenario, could not get it together with assistants same as the first applicant. I have a pretty good idea who the guy that Coach Davis and Coach DePriest are talking about but I believe that he will run into the same problems. I may be wrong but I can't see him taking the job under these same circumstances, and I may be hearing a different name than they are talking about.
To sum this all up I can tell you in a few words why this process is taking so long..."The Good Ole Boy System"...don't be a bit surprised if this job goes to a new coach with zero experience or a current Waldron assistant...and this folks is what is taking so long...according to my source... ;)
Ok, Coach V. You're stuff makes way more sense to me now. I've always assumed your guy was May the whole time you were talking and it made no sense to me when you said Waldron was going to be blown away and obviously no one was gonna be surprised cause he was the front runner here. I read your stuff totally different now. Makes a lot more sense...

I won't say I told ya so, but............................. ;D Glad u came around!
:P
First let me clarify 1 thing. Assistant Coaches. We all know that an assist. coach is usually as good as the head coach allows him to be. Now, having said that We also know, that the Head Coach along with the football team, student body, teachers, community etc. is responsible for leading the school across the goal line. Assists, along with the Head Coach, usually will give all they have for a game. They are true Football fanatics. They eat it, they sleep it, they live it all day, all night.
Everyone from teachers, students, admin,and community, everyone has to commit 100% and be going in 1 direction in order to move the ball across the goal line for a touchdown. Not just the Coaches. Everyone has a responsibility to the Football Program, to the kids, down to the community to help ensure that the Head Coach has UNWAIVERING SUPPORT and COMMITMENT in order to turn Waldron into a even better school.
I think you can only be beat down for so long, and eventually you will stand-up and fight for the Win. I have seen many school do this, and Waldron I think is going to be 1 of them. Waldron seems to be a town, that a lot of people are interested in, just look at the views! Every coach wants that program he can be a hero of. He will just have to be able to sell it to hard heads and the skeptics who will want to do their annual bash and trash talk, but it usually won't bother a very good coach. my opinion, which ain't worth much.
If Waldron hires a coach and doesn't give him the tools that he ask for i.e. assistants, if he's not successful its on Waldron admin. not the coach. Maybe thats been the problem there.
Do all Coaches not go to school to get the same Degree? What makes 1 good asst., and 1 bad. We all had to learn offense and defense. I know of 1 asst. coach who used to be in waldron, who was under a head coach many years ago that lead waldron to their conference championship. What is the argument here, is it that the assistant's don't know the game or that the assistant's are not their friends? I don't know even how many assist's waldron has? I could see bringing 1 that you could trust to help implement your style of plays but not a whole crew. Everyone can learn from a good Head Coach, why not give the ones that are there a chance 1st then decide how the program needs to go from there. just a thought.......A Head Coach has to coach his team, can he not Coach his staff also, a good coach can and will...
If the Assists truly want to Win they will listen, if their ego has not got the best of them 1st!
We all know Head Coaches learn by experience, they have proved themselves but i am referring to asst.

Really? I have yet to see a coach go somewhere and the record not follow them. whether win or lose.
Last time I checked the school board is the 1 who hires and fires. What does any admin. have to do with it other than make their recommendations to the board and follow their super?
A very STRONG candidate indeed... ;D
Yep! Hocus Pocus..............
Ok, I will let the cat out of the bag it's.... wait, really I don't have a clue. I have been guessing on here like everyone else, that and well listening to Coach V. I too had a buddy apply. So, round and round we go.....................
Y'all are great! This is the most amusing thread I've seen in a while. I'm kinda hoping the coaching search continues so the fun won't end!
And Perry took his name out of the hat this past weekend.

Waldron you better call Coach Gill right this minute!!!! That is a deal your school can't afford to pass up..... Call Coach V. lets celebrate
Waldron went through last season with five coaches for 7th, Jr high, and Sr high combined. One coach had knee replacement surgery halfway through so he didn't finish the season and another was strictly Sr high due to his teaching responsibilites.
Waldron has 5 football coaches? and they are a 4a school? So, what is the gest about bringing
in 1 more coach besides the Head Coach? Are their a lot of players out?
Explains a lot then, idk how many schools have complete separate staffs but mena has 3 Jr high coaches and 5 sr high. The 3 Jr high has their own responsibilities on Friday night and then usually 1 or 2 sr high coaches will go to the pressbox on Thurs night on home games.
Well due to the state of things they were averaging in the low 20's for sr high practices at the end of last season.
Jr high probably had close to 55-60
7th I'm guessing had almost 30 out
Numbers have been good until 10th grade and the bottom falls out. For instance there were a solid 30 kids in 9th grade for the 2010 season and this past season I think they finished with around 5 sophomores on the team.

Just wish at this point someone would let something out of the bag about the Waldron job, to give us a glimmer of hope. So frustrating to think that we are no better off today than we were when Coach Klatt stepped down in Nov., Blows my mind! Spring Ball around the corner, relationships waiting to be built, trust and confidence to be earned, expectations waiting to be met, philosophies needing to be shared, so many uncertainties???
Great move for Alma if it is true. ;D
It's not true. I will be more than happy to let yall know when there is an official announcement because yall might be too far away to hear it. ;)

The only thing that comes to mind at Waldron is maybe a "Split" staff is what they are after by hiring an additional coach. Not sure, just a thought could get more practice time in, that way I guess.
You guys seem pretty sure that Perry is going to Alma. Tell me why you think he is going there.

Don't know if this is true or not but Waldrons former AD is now at Alma, don't quote me on that though not 100% for sure...but not as AD some other position.
Why don't you tell us why you think he is not going to Alma?
Well I'm pretty sure he isn't going to Alma because he hasn't even talked to them about that job. He hasn't talked to anyone at Union Christian or Harding either for that matter. I think he is going bigger, but I think all of you need to take off your blinders and look outside the box.
Trust me, I know all of you think you know, but trust me, you way off the mark on the Alma job.

STRONG+CHAMPIONSHIP=COACH
See I was thinking coach+strong=championship. Don't you need a strong coach before you get a championship?
hahahaha ;D yep
but then again...............................
Ok so the coach from Strong who won the state title in AA is going to Waldron? Is that the big magic trick? Who is the coach from Strong? I thought DePreist from PA was going to Alma as OC? That could be way off. I have heard from a very reliable source Coach Perry is looking at jobs or a job in Alabama or West Virginia or both. He is all class and a school will be very lucky to have him.
So, Coach V's "Good Ol' Boy System" is working! ;)
I could see Coach Perry looking at jobs back in Alabama and West Virginia, afterall he has been to both in the past. Roll Tide!!!!
I have no idea, if Coach Davis is going to Waldron. They just mentioned back on page 10 of this crazzzzzzy forum that they both knew of a Coach wanting the job. I asked Coach Davis if he was related he wouldn't comment, so....................... I guessed. I am probably totally wrong, just old and have nothing else better to do spygate said, he was a "strong" one and Davis is from strong thus my dumb guess...........
Now as far as Magic Trick, wouldn't you say it would require magic for waldron to hire a Coach ;D

I know one successful coach who feels like he would turn it around if given the opportunity and he wants the challenge.
We probably are :)
I know one, too, other than Coach Perry. You and I are probably thinking about the same guy.
see why I made that guess ^
Well, looks like I may be wrong................jury is still out. If I am wrong, I will go ahead and apologize now to both the Coaches and to Waldron. Just thought he might want to go to a bigger school either way looks like it still is going round and round, where it stops nobody knows.
Has anyone heard anything different?
Does anyone on here know anything about Coach Davis, other than he too is a very good coach and won the state title at strong? I don't know if he is even considering Waldron but if he is you better make him a offer he can't refuse. (spring practices are practically here). Hire him and your program steps to the level it needs to be. He is a young coach who could possibly stay and build a program that he and waldron can be proud of. my opinion. Watch waldron do their own magic trick and blow all our minds! just my opinion. I seem to be the only one on here who has one at this point. Maybe I need to use some magic of my own and disappear!! ;D

That's hilarious. Took words out of my mouth
ribbit................ribbit.......................ribbit.............. ;D
If I am not mistaken way back in the late 70's early 80's ( if my memory hasn't failed me in older yrs) Waldron used to play Greenwood and yes, win! Hard to believe that Greenwood was once 1 who had to build-up a FOOTBALL DYNASTY.
I believe the story goes, started with trying to hire Barry Lunney Sr. and him recommending Rick Jones, who I believe they found over in Oklahoma. Great Story, 1 with tradition of a town having belief in a Coach and it growing from there into an all time best seller. Championship after Championship x Championships.
Waldron it can be done!
Now go out and get a COACH! Should add, that G has a great asst.super/athletic director and school board plus admin. that contributed to bringing in THE Coach Jones.
The Waldron coaching search has given a bunch of football geeks a lot to talk about so far. Maybe we as a whole should apply for the job and serve as the head coach and assistants. We all could take turns each week as the head coach. It seems we have enough knowledge to put together one great staff that is passionate, won championships, can get fans on board , can get the boosters involved and rally the community around our team. So Waldron look no further for your coach.If you hire us you will be starting the future trend toward community coached teams!!!! ;D

It seems we have enough knowledge to put together one great staff that is passionate, won championships, can get fans on board , can get the boosters involved and rally the community around our team. So Waldron look no further for your coach.If you hire us you will be starting the future trend toward community coached teams!!!! ;D
Now that is something to CHEER about!!!! ;D I just want 1st dibs at 1 of the playoff games! ;D
Well how about this...i call dibs on oc. Somebody can have my week lol.

Consider it done!!! But maybe I messed up cause I am the defensive genuis! ;D
I'll take a defensive coordinator job or even lb coach
Ok Coaches we have our Mission although I think we should add a few more for extra measure!
What is this terrific "team" of Coaches going to be called?
We need a name that rings with greatness? ;D Lets think....................
Well hopefully I'll make your job easier diehard and alum. Double wing all the way...ill milk that clock like no other for ya!
Hmmmm....Xmen? The Avengers?? Transformers!?! The Justice League! No wait I got it, I got it. League of nations!
1 big key component to winning the game whippersnapper- eating the clock! ;D
Now the name ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....I like your suggestions but still feel we need something more grand. Takes awhile for us "older" brains to power-up i'm still thinking.........
definition of achievement: something accomplished, especially by SUPERIOR ABILITY,special effort, great courage, etc. a great heroic deed. attainment or accomplishment: the achievement of ones objective. the full display of the armorial bearings of an individual or corporation: i.e. team.
think we made need to add waldrons name in somewhere.... still thinking............ I may have to come back tomorrow. ;D Come on Coaches lets think!! ;D
We might should wait on a name cause I have a suspicion that some other coaches might want to join our forces ;D Coach V., Oldman, iknowmorethanu, the great GLion and possibly even Wendell Robinson himself so, u can see i am trying to buy myself more time ;D I haven't a clue for a name yet but League of Nations is starting to grow on me ;D
lets see.......... Waldron's Superior Heroic Sensations...........ummmmmmm still like Nation though I feel my bloodpressure starting to rise at all this pressure, funny how that doesn't happen to anyone on the field....hahahaha ;D
Let's wait till tomorrow to gather everyone's input before we get a name this should be fun... ;D
#1. League of Nations ( I really like it)
#2. Waldron's Superior Heroic Sensations....( little windbagish lol)
#3. Fearless Nation of Coaches ( we have a motto!!!) gdthink Panther13, but it may need adj.
p.s. probably have opened myself up for all kinds of feedback....lol Let's just hope Waldron gets a coach before then... ;)
Well lets keep it simple and call it "Fearless Nation of Coaches". Our motto "We will take any job that no one else wants!!!!"

If I am not mistaken way back in the late 70's early 80's ( if my memory hasn't failed me in older yrs) Waldron used to play Greenwood and yes, win! Hard to believe that Greenwood was once 1 who had to build-up a FOOTBALL DYNASTY.
I believe the story goes, started with trying to hire Barry Lunney Sr. and him recommending Rick Jones, who I believe they found over in Oklahoma. Great Story, 1 with tradition of a town having belief in a Coach and it growing from there into an all time best seller. Championship after Championship x Championships.
Waldron it can be done!
Now go out and get a COACH! Should add, that G has a great asst.super/athletic director and school board plus admin. that contributed to bringing in THE Coach Jones.
Really, the Greenwood dynasty began with Coach Ronnie Peacock. He built up the program and Coach Jones came in and collected the spoils, so to speak. But he had been at Broken Arrow over in Oklahoma and had trouble competing with the Jenks and Tulsa Union, but then again who in Oklahoma hasn't had trouble competing with those two. Bottom line, he wasn't a good fit over at Broken Arrow for whatever reason. Got a call from Greenwood and realized he was walking into a gold mine. On the flip side, Broken Arrow has slowly began to take the place of Jenks as a football powerhouse over in Oklahoma and lost 23-22 to Tulsa Union in the Class 6A State Championship last December

While it is true that Coach Peacock is a really good coach, The program still had to be maintained. The numbers at G have continually grown in the football program under Coach Jones. The "Championships" run has been by Coach Jones, staff and his team. Coach Peacock was nowhere on the field, and that is where games are won, not to mention having the full backing of the boosters, and community. in my opinion.
It seems like you guys are missing a 3-year period in there between Peacock and Jones. I know Greenwood people don't like to talk about it. They'll wince if you even say the name.
Regardless of what Greenwood was when Jones got there, it really is remarkable to be in 6 championship games in 8 years, and winning 5 times in those 6 chances is incredible as well.

lololololol...yep Ole Harv Welch...Coach Jones had to re-build the program after Welch left and Peacock is a good coach but nowhere in the same league as Jones. Also, Jones won a State Championship at Edmund Oklahoma and he did compete with Jenks and Union...that isn't why he left...

Absolutely, it is remarkable. I don't think perhaps Waldron should compare it's program that they have today to the program that G had back when Coach Jones did take over. It is nothing like what has been happening to Waldron in the past 60yrs. 2yr run in the late 50's under Coach Sawyer, and 2 times in the 80's under Coach Hugh Parker, and then again 1 or 2 times under Coach R. Voss and 1 under Coach A. Rettman. I don't think state title since the 50's. so, little bit different circumstances. The only comparsion I was trying to make is that they can make a really good hire and start to rebuild a program that can win if given enough community support. Win's can make all the difference. I was trying to tell Waldron to have hope but they got to hire a Coach 1st.(preferably 1 that has a winning record!!)
I'm thinking that someone just needs to call the AD or maybe the superintendent and say "HEY!!! Is Waldron ever gonna hire a coach? And if so who is on the short list?" Worst they can do is not tell you! Its not like they can take away your birthday or make you work night shift. So who is going to volunteer? ::)

Probably, but way outside the box on something that he would do. Totally out of his character.
Not only out of his character but out of a lot of Coaches character as well. Besides there is not a school in Arkansas going to volunteer who they have interviewed especially when rehiring is being done right now.
This is usually the time Coaches are making a switch to get to bigger and better schools unless, they are at 1 they truly enjoy.
Did you come up with a name for our team? ;D
sorry for the wording, meant a lot of coaches character are like coach perry's (a good person of moral character.)

Jones left Broken Bow in 2004 I believe because he wanted his children to grow-up in a small community. Harv Welch well was replaced. It has nothing to do with the fact that Waldron still has yet to hire a Coach.
Hopefully, the good coaches that are out there will not listen to PM's and rumors so to speak. Some of the best schools I have ever been apart of was the ones that someone said "don't go there, they have no support". I have always made decisions for myself, with a lot of prayer, and relying on the facts. While it is true, Waldron will have a difficult road ahead, I for 1 hope that they prove that they can rise above all the negativity just to put in some of the peoples faces. My opinion. I will go ahead and get off my soapbox now and Thank you for the slap ahead of time.
Spring drills are coming up soon...sure would be helpful to have a coach in place at that time...and if not by then at least by two-a-days... ;D
I'm thinking interim coach? What is wrong with the Asst. to run drills till a coach is hired?
Surely to god, they have a coach that has interviewed that they plan on offering the job too.

I prefer a track program.
And I personally think that not having your football players run track contributes to knee injuries later.
The only spring practice I believe has any usefulness is the full contact drills. And I believe the AAA strictly regulates those.

Really Dayton? How many Championships have you won as Head Coach? you better know what the AAA regulates if you are a coach.
So Moose is gonna be lazy and skip reading all 13 pages and just ask....have they got a football coach yet??
So is that the holdup? Waldron is only going to hire a coach that has won a Championship? Narrows it down quite bit.

And AAA regulations and rules change yearly. They have a two hour meeting at the Coaching Clinic every year about that very thing.

Help! I think I have gone blind or got double vision- I see Page 14!!!!! ;D
This Dayton dude is just amazing. I think it's hilarious that A coach gets on here and uses his real name and makes some of the dumbest statements a guy could make.. You would think a coach would have more common sense to get on here and post, when his posts are just crazy. Little word of advice, if u want to be a head coach, get off fearless Friday or at least disguise your name, so people can't see how ignorant you are. Reminds me alot of Husky

Of course the Moose would be interested, the Moose is in school right now to become a coach, as long as Glion is by the Mooses side then Waldron would go undefeated give the Moose Wendell Robinson and Edghog as assisants and Bearcat whippersnapper as ball boy...sounds like the dream team!!

With that lineup on the sidelines I doubt if the other 4-4A teams would show up! Not that they'd be scared of the team on the field...just wouldn't have the stomachs to stand the sight! ;D I'd handle the complaints to, and behind-kissing of, the officials; Edghog would be around to point out conference opponent Bunnyville's weaknesses; Wendell Robinson would somehow find something in Waldron football history to make them feel good about their tradition; and Bearcat whippersnapper would never let Waldron overlook Mena. That'd leave Moose in charge of the x's and o's of coaching but would be a step down for him with suddenly only one team to concentrate on. ;D Moose, as always, has a great idea!
Oh my! hillbillydeluxe must of had to come into town to get some tators! He hasn't been on here in ages.... ;D
You all have yet to give this "Miracle Dream Team" of Coaches a name? Dayton got mad at my last suggestion.... ;D
Soooooooo, have we decided how we are going to spilt up the pay$$$$$? I have come to the conclusion that it would be honor enough and less costly to the determent of our lives to just coach for free considering how much time we have posted wondering when waldron is gonna get a coach. ;D What do ya think?
Perhaps, they will have a Coach by spring-break, because I for 1 need a vacation!!!!

Waldron better be thanking their lucky stars that steve perry is on the 5A forum, cause he would tear it up. ;D
The problem with Waldron, there isn't a whole lot of tradition from anywhere. I think the best slogan and the one I would put in place as a head coach would simply be, "Why not?" why not us, why not now, etc. It's all about getting one kid to believe, and then hope for that snowball effect.

That is exactly right. They need to believe 1st then Wins will come. Their mindset seems to be different down in Waldron, is it because of the coaching or because of history or both? Do you think Waldron can believe enough and want it enough to turn it around?
I have the perfect combination of a football coaching staff at Waldron. Let Moose have the head job it wouldn't be anything more than a title anyway. ;D make bearcatwhippersnapper the offensive coordinator. I'll be the defensive coordinator. Put GLion in charge of player development and classroom performance. There is a fellow named Skunkape Esq, make him the strength and conditioning coach. It's my understanding that skunkapes are quite strong. Waldron is on the top of the 4A football world in no time.

Not to divert this topic further ;D, here's the answer to your question. The Bentonville school board has decided to submit to the voters a proposed millage hike to finance a second high school northwest of Centerton near the Bentonville-Gravette school district border because that's where much of the population growth is occurring. They're still debating whether to have a football field at that new school (as Rogers does) in the proposed bond issue or keep the cost lower by proposing to use the field at the existing high school (as Springdale does). I get the idea that Barry Lunney doesn't want a second high school, but he's done a pretty good job of keeping his head out of the line of fire between the two sides. Trust me, it is a war between the two sides...enough that whatever bond issue is submitted to the voters may not pass, and then Bentonville will be in a real mess!
If voters don't okay a second Bentonville high school in that area, I'm thinking, as a Gravette sports fan, Gravette should build a second high school in that area to better compete with Bentonville for the best athletes. ;D In case anyone hasn't figured that icon out, I'm joking...and there have been plenty of topics about this (but not the Gravette part, of course) on the 7A boards. Now back to "As the World Turns in Waldron."
You are a Shakespearean Genius! I knew you were good on the BB forum but you certainly have game!!!! :D

I was born about a mile or two from the site of that proposed new high school...about a month before Bentonville's first hospital (Bates) opened. That means I'm old enough I should know something about something, but I'm still tryng to figure out what! ;D
If I had to take a guess, I would say that you might have gray hair because of all the Wisdom you have GLion.... :D
Well lets keep it simple for a name and call it "Fearless Nation of Coaches". Our motto "We will take any job that no one else wants!!!!"
I could handle the Booster Club and Community relations. ;D
This is pretty good entertainment for those of us who truly enjoy high school football. It sure seems to be a core group as well.
Time for a Cheeseburger and Fries and some sweet tea.....
I just hope they get a coach soon, I have gardening to do. Can't wait for my own tomato's and corn etc.

Before the Gravette fans who know me have a chance to respond to what you posted, I'll present three options: (1) GLion isn't wise. (2) GLion has discovered the miracles of modern chemistry. (3) GLion wears a toupee. Whatever...GLion likes to think he looks younger than he is, and at this stage of life it's important to GLion for him not to think of himself as just another cranky old geezer. ;D (My apologies to the green moose for stealing his third-person style for this one reply only).

I in no way meant that as disrespect. My apologies the young GLion.
No problem at all, diehardFBfan. It was just a preemptive strike on my part against certain unnamed Gravette posters/jokers. ;D Naturally, this starts off page no. 15
I think that we might should pause for a moment and reflect on these past 14 pages and figure out what we have learned from this very informative FF Waldron head coach forum........................................................................
Nothing Jack ;D
Other than make friends, and tell a few jokes to kill the boredom on this waldron 4-4A thriller!!
Do you realize the damage that we could have inflicted on a mere 26,895 FF viewers in Arkansas? We have missed the true essence of being able to captivate an audience! ;D
and yet still hunger to learn who Waldron is going to hire as Head Coach! ;D Astonishing!

Anyone else think that the best thing to ever happen to FF in the offseason was Waldron looking for a coach? This is fun, I kind of hope they never hire a coach.
after 14 pages are we sure they are looking?
They may not be looking to be honest with you. The thought occurred to me today that they may have already hired a coach and have just not announced it. Given Waldron's remote location deep in the Ouachita National Forest it wouldn't be that hard to hide a secret. Someone give Spygate a call and let's do some investigative reporting.

Let's go spygate....
Now I wonder if you know more than you let on...
No, wish I did. I could get Rich off of being able to predict the future! ;D I am just old, and have nothing else better to do right now. but it is almost spring, and the fish will be biten' and I will be at the good ole' fish-in' hole! That and well, gettin' my garden ready....
I just have a passion for football, and like to see all schools do well. Especially with all the uncertainties in the world. Football and other sports can be that constant for kids, and that is a good thing.
Well....another prime candidate just bit the dust... ::)
Wow guys, I mean I miss a couple days and it's already on page 15!! I'm with whoever it was that said are they even still looking. This is taking forever, but on the other hand what would we all do for fun if they ever actually hired a coach?
Quote from: Coach Venny Slocombe on March 01, 2012, 09:40:32 am
Well....another prime candidate just bit the dust... ::)
Well no big suprise!! ::) As I said before it really is starting to look like Waldron has more problems than trying to find a Football coach.
Hope could be on the horizon if they will let us submit our application and end this. LOL If not we could be talking about this still at the end of baseball season too.
I have been giving this situation thought.(crazy i know, just humor me)
Since this is afterall FF, the most credible, and reliable news source ;D
I thought of this question? Who on FF has applied for the Waldron job? any takers that care to confess? I thought it might help to figure out who they have narrowed it down to. It could possibly even give us some insight to what could be going on down in Waldron, to where Coaches seem to be changing their minds.
Were they even really interested to begin with or was this just an attempt to get more money and support from the schools that they are currently at and just used waldron to their benefit?
Could the possibility of be coming in to play on current asst.?
I mean as a head coach, most want to bring in an asst. usually. I think on 1 of the pages somewhere Waldog stated they have 4 or 5 coaches for football already.
Did the Coaches that applied get hired somewhere else?
Did they use Waldron as practice interviews?
If we knew someone or someones buddy maybe they could provide some insight please, not necessarily specifics but who/what did it come down to or reasons for not going to Waldron.
Who was the prime candidate that bit the dust figuratively speaking?
Quote from: Coach Venny Slocombe on March 01, 2012, 09:40:32 am
Well....another prime candidate just bit the dust... ::)
According to who? You are just antagonizing Waldron like you did with the Bentonville joke aren't you? or maybe it was waldog...bentonville like $$$ ;D
Do you really know Coach Venny or do you like to stir the pot so to speak?
Mansfield and Waldron have 1 of the best rivalry's you know, since you have mentioned it several times!!!! ;D
WALDRON HAS HIRED A COACH, details coming on page 23.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
+1000 for Oldman!
Good thing you were YELLING otherwise I don't think Waldron would hear you to know ;D
My messages have lit- up like the 4th of JULY!!!!!!
FIREWORKS EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o
So far with what would be the fourth coach to turn the job down now if coach V is right there has bee a pretty consistent pattern. The coaches interviewing want to bring their own staffs in and they are being told no so Waldron is being told NO. ::)
You can not bring about change without really making a change. :o IMO
Page 23 Oldman at the rate this coaching search is going and the number of post I think it just might blow right past 23!! LOL :P Heck we might be shooting for the record number of post on one thread!
We need to add a poll to this thread so we can start taking votes on when Waldron might finally hire a coach.
example
When will Waldron hire their next coach? A. Before spring practice?
B. Before Memorial day?
C. Before the Fourth of July?
D. When Pigs Fly? ;D
E. When the Fearless Nation of Coaches apply! 8)
718 Replies!!!!!! ;D Now I think we need to contact an Admin. of FF and ask if we can buy stock in the Waldron Head Coach Forum! ;D With all the hit's this sucker has had we'd be rolling in cash by the end of the week!lol ;D

Well guys, sorry I don't have any good news for you, but I do know who the coach won't be. Maybe yall should hang on for a rough few years of football ahead of you, at least until some things get realized and changed. Best of luck!
Well, if it's not meant to be it's not meant to be. I'm sure Waldron will not have any problems finding a coach who really truly wants the job. It is a great opportunity for a Coach to go to Waldron and have a New Stadium, and be able to build something from there. I think I even heard that they have future plans to build a indoor practice facility, and that would be great for a coach to get in on. In fact, I heard that they have had someone that also has some state championships wanting to go to Waldron, and are working out the details. (rumor is) Don't quote me on that. Wish the person u know the best of luck!
Told ya'll Coach V. and his sources or intuition is hard to beat on here. ;) I need to figure out how he does it. Do u remember Coach Wagner from Mansfield in the late 50's early 60's? Man, if he was around..........
I know a school board member...as for Wagner, I don't remember him...
any more news? Who was the Coach that dropped out? gotta name?
I saw oldman's post got really excited thought about it for a second and got depressed that it would be over. Then I read the rest of the post. Phew
The answer is no, I did not apply. I am from Mena, so my wife and I discussed it, but we decided not to pursue it.
As for the coaches who have turned it down, the only one that I had heard was Coach Perry. And he doesn't really have an assistant that he would bring, so I don't think that was his sticking point.
Has anyone FOI'd to see who has applied?
Hey I know a Bud Lite truck driver who is off on thurdays & fridays who'll take this job.
Take me out to the ballgame, take me out to the crowd......buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks..........................
Panther13 why did you have to mention Baseball season? Can't get the song out of my head now. :P

Yes. They have a coach.
I have so many mixed emotions right now. I'm happy for Waldron for getting a coach. I'm happy for the guy who got the job. But I'm sad for all of us. I really thought we might get to 23 pages before a hire was made -- that was the over/under I had set in my head when it hit like page 11 or 12.
Shane Davis from strong. Board just voted on it.
All good things must come to an end, but for Waldron the good has just begun. )
Well it seems all the "Strong" hinting was dead on!!! ;D
Congratulations to Shane and his family. He is a great guy and a championship coach. I'm glad he's getting this opportunity.
Congratulations to Waldron. I think they're going to be extremely pleased with their decision.
Great hire!!!

The funny thing is that I think you're partially right...but the other way around. Someone told Coach Davis that his name had been mentioned in connection with the Waldron job on here, so he decided to check it out.
+1 to loyal fan. We may need to title him as FF Matchmaker :)
started new forum called Waldrons road to success!
now everone knows who i was talking about way to go waldron great hire
Looks like we got hall of fame, congrats everyone lol
AWESOME JOB WALDRON!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I LOVE THE HALL OF FAME! 8)

I know this is hindsite but Harrison? You and Coach Davis could of built Waldron into a powerhouse together...........Think of the possibilities?
I'm going to speculate that you left PA for a HC job at Harrison... The best of luck! Harrison got a great hire too.
