Fire everyone but Wickline, Robinson and possibly Watson. That's the best solution.
We could possibly give Traylor one more year (based on his success at what was mostly 3A Gilmer? lol), but he hasn't done much this season. The Special Teams have largely been poor, and we have seen highly insufficient contributions from the Tight Ends that he has put on the field. (And we haven't even seen Garrett Gray out there, which I have to chalk up as Traylor's fault as much as anyone's. Granted, Gray almost certainly should have stayed at Receiver, but the move again has to be looked at as Traylor's fault as much as anyone's.)
Daje Johnson consistently fielding punts inside the 10 this year? The kicking game? The punting game? The return game overall, with Boyd, Thomas, etc. considering the options available on this roster (including one of the greatest high school PUNT--not kick-off, PUNT-- returners of all-time in Newsome)?
I don't want to hear any more b.s. about Traylor and supposed recruiting, by the way. Any good coach will be able to recruit at Texas. It's absolute nonsense the know-nothings who are assigning him some kind of great importance in that area, lol. David Snow? lol. He and Curtis were all that Traylor ever sent us, along with apparent major problem-child and possible team liability at this point Boyd. Coaches from other high schools are not going to "send" us their players or not based on whether we fire Jeff Traylor, lol. And probably just as many dislike him as like him, lol. One more year, based on a high winning record at Gilmer, and that's it. He doesn't get the special teams and tight ends in order next season, and he's out--period.
By the way, does anyone not realize by now that it doesn't make any freaking difference whether you recruit well if you play the wrong ones or play guys out of freaking position? If you clog up numerous positions with holes for 3 or 4 years, what freaking difference does it make if you have someone on the bench who could do better? Those of you touting our underclassmen, lol: you think we look good with Omenihu and Jefferson for 4 years? With Davante Davis and John Bonney? Even Hall is an underclassmen, lol. With Boyd at corner if they leave him there? With Ford and Nelson playing defensive tackle? With Hager out there, for crying out loud (and does anyone think Townsend wouldn't have stopped Mahomes on 3rd down at the crucial end last night if he had been out there instead of gay little Hager? lol.)
And do you think maybe Norvell got our guys hurt last night by putting them in positions where that was possible when he could have personnel and plays out there that would have made things easier? Trying to run Kirk Johnson for several plays like a battering ram after his good run, when battering ram is not Kirk Johnson's game? Giving Heard no reliable, big receiving targets on 3rd down and getting him hurt with the foolishness that he put out there? Come on, get real, man. Get freaking real, for crying out loud.
