Bill Venard could tell you what to do in Montana...other than sheep....which brings me to a funny joke he told us. Why do farmers take their sheep to the edge of cliffs??? Because they kep backing up One of the many sheep jokes.

I just don't have anything to talk about. Got a new job for 10 weeks in the Bethel district. I'm teaching 7th grade math and social studies for a lady out on maternity leave...which means now I'll be getting paid to do work. Just like the rest of y'all. But it should be a bigger paycheck...Whooahh.

I'm out like Montana's fan base during a steak cook off.

a day that will live in emphamy. 


tmc will be in the hunt for a national championship in 3-4 years i guarante.  saintsfan, you are getting the BEST possbile coach for your situation.


ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh msj, why could have not f*$&ing offered the man more.

Congrads to Coach Hilvert on getting hired by TMC, that program is going to be one top in the next few years.  Just wait till he recruits next year and gets his players wow is all i got to say it is going to be scary.  And TMC players if you come on here and look at this get ready to get nasty with it.  This man is in your face 247 pushing you to be the best player you can possibly be.  And some how some way he always gets results.  Angry i agree give it 3-4 years and wait and see where that program will be at.  Just hope the Mount hires someone like Hilvert even though it will be hard to do, cause they are still on the rise and don't want to face any set backs

Jim Hilvert the new head coach at TMC....  HOW BOUT DAT!!!!  Good for TMC,,, bad for UB.  But MSJ fans....  AHHH....  Dah Lions will be allright.      I promise ya!  UB has a stack of resumes of guys who want to coach at MSJ.  UB will have to hire them all to replace Jimmy though.

First things first..  I hope Coach Dorrel does well wherever he ends up.  Maybe Hilvert keeps him as Defensive Coordinator? 

By all accounts, it appears TMC got what they needed in Hilvert.  Coach Hallett left a great base of players, and I think Hilvert is going to make sure these guys are going to "buy in".  And I think they will....just as we did in 1999.  There are alot of things happening at the school that are going to make TMC VERY competitive in the near future.  I think Coach Hilvert and his staff will be able to recruit greater Cincinnati like Schlager, Venard and Kofler did for the Blue Rebels/Saints in the early to mid 90s.

I know that Coach Hilvert doesn't need to worry about any MSJ bias on the campus or from alums.  Most alums just want a coach to build on the tradition of TMC.  You also have to remember that basically every coach we've had since football started in 1990 have not been TMC guys...with the exception of Hallett.  My point is the school hasn't played enough football to truly have a TMC Coaching Tree per say.  I've spoken to a few former players and they are excited with the decision that has been made.  In a year, the "former MSJ Defensive Coordinator" label will be gone. 

Very exciting day for Thomas More today....

WOW, what a tuff one to swallow.  TMC was always the biggest rival for me because i disliked those guys so darn much, heck it was easy for me to dislike those guys so much becasue of the way they treated me on my recruiting vist.  And i thought Hilvert always thought the same way.  But being the head guy you can change all that kind stuff.

But when opportunitiy comes knocking on your door you have answer it.  Congradulations to Hilvert.  He is a great person, great coach, and a great friend.  I support him in any thing that he does.  I guess it means that in a year or a two I am going to probably have to support TMC.  But what do i do when week 10 roles a round and TMC plays MSJ?  I guess hope for a tie 

But how did the Mount let this one get away man. This is truely a sad day in Delhi b/c Hilvert is going to build that thing up faster than a Charlie gets into a tree.

vbell:

Most likely you know this.  However, you should have your friend consider going to one of those Mega Coaching Conferences they have in the next couple of months.  Those two day conferences held at various locations around the country (many in the MidWest) have big-time speakers, and hundreds of coaches (both college and h.s.) in attendance.  Always a place to find out about available jobs at all collegiate levels.  Of course, the other great source for this is the Annual NCAA Coaching Convention, usually held in Dallas in Jan - may have already been held or perhaps even this weekend - I wasn't sure nor did I check on the date for that this year.  Just some thoughts on your question.

SaintsFAN:

Thanks for the info.  Interesting and sounds like TMC is a program to be watched for sure next year.  BTW, hope your recovery is going along smoothly.
