KWTX: Former TCU defensive coordinator set to become Midway’s head coach

[papawppc]

Waco ISD has two high schools. Used to have four until 1985ish. The running joke was they started allowing transfers under Gambill, hence the success he had.

Terry Gambill was my Little League baseball catcher. A very fine young man!

Is the Lone Star Steak House in Bellmead still there?

As I said many times this is where he belongs and can have success.

Good for him.....and us.

Ain't nothing wrong with being a Texas High School football coach.

Eeek…I hope we don’t have a recruit we want from his school:..

 

[nrhfrog]

From what I've heard, he's a really good guy. Apparently, he just got a little in over his head at this level of college football. That's okay....everyone has their limit. Hope he does great in his new job.

Ah…so it was High, University, Midway and Richfield?

No. Midway has always been its own independent district. It started in Woodway, TX and then moved to Hewitt, TX as the school grew.

The name Midway means mid way between Waco and McGregor on Highway 84.

That’s my old stomping ground. Unless he recruits, going to be a tough job. And if they ever get a second high school, ouch.

have we forgotten where LT went to high school?

well he went to University, so.....

University, Waco, Richfield, and Jeff-Moore. When they consolidated, they took Waco's name, Richfield's colors, and Jeff-Moore's mascot. University is still University, the pride of South Waco.

This. He seemed like a good man and a well intentioned coach. I think he's going to take this high school to the next level. He was over his head at TCU, you could tell just by watching the games. His hire was a head scratcher. I think he was part of Sonny's Texas "Fraternity" and I'm glad he's seeing the danger in that and moving away from sticking to that.

I watched Tulsa play Ohio State 3 or 4 years ago and it was a one score game in the 4th quarter. I remember being very impressed with Tulsa's defense. Our defense was not that bad in 2022, but it seems like everyone figured it out last year. No pressure, loose coverage. The nail in the coffin was hanging 45 on OU and losing by 3 TDs. I wish JG the best, he seems like a great guy. Really optimistic about our new DC. We gotta get more pressure and more turnovers.
