All sounds enticing. It's just been this way for 12 years now, same approach, some folks are just better at being a real good coordinator, than HC/AD. Nothing at all wrong with that, you see it occur at every level of sports. Some assistants do well in the change, while others don't and go back to their coaching strength. That's not a knock on Quick's ability as a coach at all. Your mentor dies suddenly, then the job is shoved right under your nose by Superintendent Knight. What do you do in a moment of sorrow and shock? Quick, who had never been out front before, never a HC, much less an AD is thrust in as the head guy. There is no secret we have not had good playoff success these past 12 years, these last three are unacceptable.
Change is coming, whether it's this year or next. How drastic or not? Guess we'll all find that one out at the same time. Ralph is an excellent choice for this community. The others mention I'm sure would too because our Lufkin kids are not much different than those playing in Longview or Center. When the time comes, it will happen. I've stopped being too concerned about it. That's all up to folks in higher decision making positions than myself.
