HevyReturns Posted June 11, 2019 Report Share Posted June 11, 2019 For 2019 Dresden will face lots of new things. New coach(-es), schedule, teammates, & system. But we will also have a new chance, with new dreams & aspirations, & a new attitude & motivation to be a contender once again. The new head coach selection process is in it's final stages, & I am sure once that is settled then the Lions will get busy on being their best. I hope folk have written off the Lions & think we are irrelevant again. Haha! I can't help but think the naysayers, doubters, & "haters" will be in for quite the surprise. Watch & see! Make it happen men! I say the sun is not setting on the Lions, but this is the dawn of a new beginning, a new rising back to our Lion's winning ways & overcoming whatever obstacles we face. Onward & upward is the way Dresden is headed. GO LIONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no set date that I know of, but it has been whittled down to the final 3 or 4 candidates. No doubt it will be quick so the team can get going & ready for summer 7 on 7's & scrimmages & finalizing season schedule. First game will be here lickity split! ** Update. Our new coach has been selected, and full, official, public announcement will be forthcoming shortly. Paperwork & such being finished. The new era has begun. Take hope Dresden sports fans! Methinks all is going to be fine, mighty fine in fact! Lions gonna get their roar & mojo back. Watch & see. GO LIONS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HevyReturns Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 And here is some more brief info/history on Coach Wes Johnson from SMU's website (scroll to his name for the 2018 season): https://smumustangs.com/coaches.aspx?rc=4123&path=football . Looks like Coach has had experience at both HS & college levels, asst. in all aspects, positions, & on both sides of the ball. Now he can put it all together as head coach here at Dresden. Methinks both Coach & our team will step into their greatness. Might surprise a whole lot of folk! Nothing to it but to do it, right? GO LIONS!

The Lions program deserved this hire to get them back to a reputation that they earned over a long time but was tarnished quickly !!! Great days ahead for Dresden !!!

Me thinks I give him the first 3 games and he doesn't have a win and you will turn on him quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree! This guy is the same age as the last coach, and just because he was at low-level positions with Colleges, he's a great hire? A couple losses will change everything.

ysoangry Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 I honestly don't care if he struggles with wins as long as his team doesn't look like a bunch of thugs on the field. Maybe semi-thugs but not full blown thugs. lol I wish him luck and hope he sticks around long enough to make this his team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
