Head coach Mark Sartain hired Randy Pippin as the Tigers' new defensive coordinator this spring, adding the former head coach of Trinity Valley Community College, Northwest Mississippi Community College and the University of West Alabama to the ETBU staff.

Pippin has spent 14 years of his 23-year coaching career as a head coach, most recently at The Classical Academy in Colorado Springs, Col., and finishing 12th in the state despite being the smallest school in its classification. Pippin also joins the ETBU staff after serving as national director of the Glazier/Mega Football Coaching Clinics.

Prior to taking on his role with Glazier, Pippin was head coach at Northwest Mississippi, where he led the Rangers to the MACJC North Division championship in 2006. As head coach at the University of West Alabama from 2001-2003, Pippin was recognized as the Small College Coach of the Year in Alabama in 2002 after leading the team to its most wins in 10 years.

Before taking the job at West Alabama, Pippin was athletic director and head football coach at Middle Georgia College from 1998-2000 where he produced two 10-win seasons and two bowl champions. One of his players at Middle Georgia, Kendrell Bell, went on to become the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

Pippin was offensive coordinator at Tennessee Tech in 1996-97, where he coached the school's all-time leader in total offense at the time.

One of his most successful runs as a college head coach came at Trinity Valley from 1993-95, where he led the Cardinals to a 24-8-2 mark that included the 1994 junior college national championship. He coached 19 all-conference players at TVCC and six All-Americans, including kicker Matt Bryant and cornerback Al Harris, both of whom went on to careers in the NFL.

The 1994 national champion team finished 12-0 and maintained a No. 1 ranking from start to finish. Following that season, Pippin was named NJCAA Coach of the Year.

He had served as Trinity Valley's defensive coordinator from 1990-92 before being named head coach just prior to the 1993 season.

A native of Mesquite, Texas, and a graduate of North Mesquite High School, Pippin was a standout running back at Cisco Junior College and Tennessee Tech. He later began his coaching career with assistant positions at Middle Tennessee State and at Tennessee Tech.

A published author and speaker, Pippin speaks nationally on "Implementing Character Qualities for Success," and various scheme topics. He holds a master's degree in Health Education and is married to the former Sally Horton of Cookeville, Tenn. They have three daughters, Natalie, Holly and Libby.

I mean a 10k stadium in the heart of Texas. I think HS teams would feel robbed to play there with Waco, Austin, CS San Marcos and the likes all being within a stones throw. No offense to MHB or the new stadium but I think any HS student would be more excited about a game at Kyle Field or Darryl K Royal rather than an Incredibly nice D3 stadium.

The great majority of HS kids going the D3 route are going to have exactly 0 chance to play in a D1 stadium.  Having a stadium that's substantially better than the majority of your D3 peers IS a recruiting advantage, make no mistake about it. 

CRUFB and Ron Burgandy make two valid and strong points!

well, that does it right there.....the great ETBU27 has spoken.....HS team robbed....give me a break.....MHB should and will be proud of the stadium.....

Now, im thinking if all etbu players are gutless like etbu27, we shoulda gone to MHB...etbu27, you have messaged me and I told everyone who I am...so why do you not message me who you are.......

could be some great revenue from HS playoff games.....

not only is the new stadium going to be impressive........but so is this!

Fredenburg's program is 114-19 in the last 11 years - 86-6 in American Southwest Conference games during that span - while playing at Belton High School's Tiger Field and practicing at Andersen Field House. Just imagine the possibilities once the Crusaders compete in their own stadium and work out at their renovated field house, where work has already begun

Bahaha Im assuming Tigerkat is a recruit or something, I dont know anyone QUITE so arrogant as to go straight at HSU and MHB this strongly. Still as many teams probably do, we feel like our squad is mature and working this spring with a chip on our shoulders.


Actually the name in the email associated with Tigerkat is that of someone who played catcher for ETBU as a freshman a couple of years ago.   Season stats: 2 AB, .000.   May not be the same person, of course, but certainly an interesting coincidence. 

LMAO!!!  Close......but no relation

Here's a nice link to the Abilene's KTXS news story on HSU WR Zavious Robbins and his performance @ ACU's pro day. Zavious ran a 4.31 40 yd dash. This time was the 2nd fastest time recorded at ANY pro day or combine and the fastest by an WR.

Great job and good luck to that young man!

if the old OC and the new HC had a football camp on the same day....and you asked any texas hs coach which camp would be best to for their kids to go to....the HS coaches would easlily tell you...the old OC......people in the know, know exactly what happened to the old OC and why his 21 yr tenure ended at HSU.....but if you think things are great...continue to suck your thumb and have sweet dreams about your little fairy tale world......reality, the walls are starting to crumble around your little utpoian world......let check back in a couple of years and see.....whats what!
#13
HSU will miss the OC.......they will more than miss him......say to the tune of 17-21pts a game.....The HC was worth another 3-7 points too......

The Merry Hardly Baylors and the Supersized McBlurries are the cream of the crop......HSU Cowgirls will just sit back and wonder...what coulda been....(if not for the coaching changes)...dont let me chap ya more than your dusty little chaps already do Cowgirl TrickriderTroy....

Times, they are a changin'........

other than the fact that a state school would cost about 12-15K per year and private would be 22-25K.........

many D2's have a terrible perception of D3 programs......
#15
Joining the D2 ranks would have them offering 36 athletic scholarships which would be divided anyway they see fit......most "state schools" offer incoming freshman $1500 to $2000 a year for athletics......that amount will increase the longer they stay in the program.....in a lot of D2s, some tend to over offer the to the number of rectruits......they offer to say 40 recruits and have money for 30 and all the recruits say "yes" on signing day, thus over extending the school and the amount of monies available..... so, how does this affect the private schools........
