Mike Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 And Mark Criner will be taking over as the DC effective immediately. Will provide more details if I get them. LINK: http://bigredinsider.com/mcgallion-leaves-program/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Probably shouldn't have been given the DC job when Bradley retired to begin with. In way over his head. Criner has a lot of experience as a DC with 12 years at the FBS level at that position. Just wished we had more than 2 games to judge his performance going into next year if the entire staff isn't overhauled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcam2903 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I am scratching my head. I'm a Newbie, so I won't really go All in. Feel terrible for the kids. I went to practice to check on my son, this was after the 2 consecutive losses. The atmosphere at practice was like they had just won 3 or 4 games in a row. Too relaxed for me.

puddin tane Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 RayRay ain't much on discipline McGallion needs to go coach girls tennis or cross country at Silsbee High. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH Ive heard Ray is pretty lax on the discipline side. Maybe his nfl background? Anyway, I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I lean towards the latter because you, in my opinion, are still dealing with kids at this point and I think they still need discipline. Hell, some of us don't grow up until 50+ much less 18, 19, 20... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcam2903 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I like a relaxed atmosphere when it calls for it, but when we have lost consecutive games and are supposed to be chasing a conference championship, my team ain't having Fun at practice. Never seen a losing team having fun. Take care of business, have fun later. JMO Different strokes for different folks :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in total disbelief of his demeanor after the NWSU loss. It was almost like it wAs no big deal. That is NOT my personality AT ALL. Seems to me, if you're happy and having fun after losses that it sends the message that losing is perfectly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coachacola Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So why was McGallion promoted over Criner in the first place? And isn't defense suppose to be one of Woodard's strengths? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 So why was McGallion promoted over Criner in the first place? And isn't defense suppose to be one of Woodard's strengths? Don't think he was on staff yet when Bradley retired and McGallion was promoted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB 22 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Woodard is a good assistant coach, family man, and all things related to that. His personality will not let him be a disciplinarian, as demonstrated by his previous stops. You cannot do this job part time especially when you are trying to build a program. Going hunting after the SELA loss and posting pictures of it on Facebook shows the dedication to the job. I bet Saban went hunting after the Ole Miss loss, Miles after the Bama loss, NOT!! So you get what pay for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KABrother88 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 It's now official http://lamarcardinals.com/news/2015/11/9/FB_1109155359.aspx Great work Mike...think you were the first to break the news anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lu cards Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't get what happened to this team this year.really thought this was our chance to break out and become one of the top tier slc programs.seems like the coaches lost the team and were back to playing like we did in years past.were getting the players now we just gotta coach them up.

KABrother88 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Just watched Woodard's presser and he mentioned McGallion came to him and said he was going to retire due to a combination of health and performance reasons. You could also hear the emotion in Woodard's voice when discussing it...he mentioned that the Woodards and McGallions are close and Craig was a friend but to me, I got the feeling this was more to do with personal issues vs performance issues. I'm sure there is a lot more going on than the public knows. Obviously you don't want to wish harm on anyone but it makes you wonder if the downward spiral of the defense has something to do with a personal issue McGallion is dealing with.

QB 22 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Someone try to answer me this. If Wood is such a good defensive man how come he hasn't taken charge of the defense and run it like the guy at TCU!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB 22 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I feel pressure got to this young man, if it was a bad illness why not walk completely away from the situation altogether and be done with it? Still involved in recruiting, seriously, if he wants to reassign him get him out of there and over to the rec center. I do not believe we will ever know what is going on with this exit. Wood acts like he is good for another year!! Unbelievable!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardinal Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I'm sorry, I have no problem with hiring ur buddies if they are qualified but it should be made clear from the beginning "if you aren't getting the job done I will have to fire you just like anyone else". For this to be a "shock" to Woodard is mind boggling. Coaching is a brutal profession. Your job performance is on display for everyone. And, it's a "what have you done for me lately" gig. Clearly McGallion wasn't getting the job done and hasn't been all season. How in the world could Woodard be surprised? Why in the world would he say he'd take him back in a heartbeat?!! This isn't pop warner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddin tane Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 "Hire him back in a minute". That crazy talk should result in an immediate firing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QB 22 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I think his nose got longer the more he talked. I really think he thinks he is going to survive, and if he does the fb program will be on life support again!! :flush::flush::flush: for all of them!!
