A discussion

I'm sorry, but what did he do there this year that you and a few others feel is so noteworthy? From what I've seen, he inherited a really talented team following the removal of the HC and guided them to the playoffs.  Chick had arguably one of the top 3 O-lines in class 4A, and talented skill players to boot.  Their district was very weak after the top 4 teams, so keeping in mind the old adage it's more the Jimmy's and Joe's than the x's and o's, I don't see reaching playoffs with a talented senior laden team in a weak conference as a major accomplishment.  Not sure if you saw their midseason game against Woodward, who was primarily a sophomore led team, but it was a pretty competitive game that the scoreboard doesn't tell the whole story.  No dog in the fight, and certainly not rooting against Carter, but would be curious from those who may be in-the-know of what impressed them. If I'm on the Boomer hiring committee, I would have concerns hiring the interim coach of a playoff team who only beat our 1-9 team by 23-0 in a game that was 9-0 at halftime.   Also, any word who the other 2 finalist are?  

So wouldn't those things you listed, make success more likely? Continuity, Game Experience, and Maturity (football iq, size, strength, speed)? You may not have meant to do this, but your pretty much confirming my point. 

You and another poster are on here promoting a coach over 2 other finalists, saying he's a great choice and Woodward really liked what he brought to the table. When asked what you felt was noteworthy, all you can give is incorrect information on prior coach's record.  Chick went 6-4 last year, which is the same amount of wins they had in 2019...which isn't 20 years ago. That year they won 2 playoff games, including an upset of Clinton.  Carter, who technically had 5 wins, led a talented team to the playoffs, but never beat a team with a winning record.  Prior to assuming the interim HC tag, he was the OC. His offense averaged 10.5 ppg against teams with winning records. although they had 6 seniors who were 2-way starters and received D2 scholarships.  Big, strong  oline paved the way for a running back to get named to the All-State team.

Sorry but if I'm the AD at Woodward, knowing all of that, I had better hear a lot of REALLY good stuff in the interview to convince me he's the guy, when I can still remember my young 1-9 team hanging in there against him for most of the game.  Maybe he did have some really good stuff in the interview, but it sounds to me that you don't know what that is if he did.  It also sounds suspect when someone comes on here touting a name as the guy the school wants for HC, but can't give the name of the other 2 guys in the running.   

Well that's what I get for late-night posting. It should have read, Carter was 6-4.  So you're right about 7-3 this year, but wrong about 2019.  They beat Anadarko and Clinton in the playoffs.2019
