165-23?? Yikes! When I was at Woodham in the 80s, we never won a single game the entire four years. True story. We were terrible. Life goes on.

I read one of my teammates comments and he is right. Yes even though Tate has had a bad few seasons and yes he was partly to blame for that. At the end of the day no one cared more about the team and the players on the team then Coach Lindsey. He taught us many things that we can use not only on the football field but in life. He taught us how to be better men and how to be better husbands and better for society in the future. Whoever lands him will be getting a damn good coach. Even though he killed our body during the week because he thought it would make us a better football team no one cared more about that team and the teams players then Coach Lindsey. Best of luck in the future Coach! Thank you for everything!

Wow. Some of y’all act like this is the DFW area where they have the funds to pay coaches over 100K and assistants without them having to teach.

I hate to see these comments and it only shows how people really feel about Tate and the student athletes of Tate highschool, the defensive coach that is now coach has only been here for two years, the defense is the best defense in the area statistically mentally and physically. We leave teams low at score in the first half of every game, we end up getting exhausted for minor execution misshapes on special teams or offense but nothing is greater than having a strong team bond with the players that are willing to continue to play through every game the team bond is better than just winning yes we would love to win but somethings just don’t go the way we all want we face adversity personally on and off the field or whether it is as a team coach lindsey taught us very valuable things of not just the things on the feild but off the feild as young men he has been here for us since day one he didn’t quit because he gave up on us he didn’t reasign because he lost hope he resigned because of the people just like the people in the comments using hatred and discontent towards not only the head coaches but to coaches that have nothing to do with this situation. Nevertheless coach Lindsey has be there for me personally and as a head coach through football other sports I have done and off the feild he is an amazing man amazing father an amazing coach. He would always put the team before him he would always make Sure the team was taken care of before he went home for the day. He would check up on all the players being there. Coaching isn’t just about the X’s and O’s It about the student athlete bond you can have looking out for the students that have volunteered to play the game they love it’s about giving them a family away from home giving them hope and opportunities encouragement gratitude and most of all to teach valuable aspects in life so we can succeed in life. Coach Lindsey if you’re seeing this I want to thank you personally for everything you have taught me for being there guiding not just me but the whole team pushing us to be a better man that we were the day before. The team will miss you especially this significant senior class this year. Sending love and prayers coach.

Criticism are all opinionated and the boys are having a tough run of it. Things will have to change to move forward. First thing will be fan support, student support and parent support.
Offense has struggled to gain first downs. Leaving the defense to play excess of 80 snaps a game. Sounds like tough kids on that side to only allow 27pts a game average.
Take it back to old school. Like 2 weeks ago wishbone and moved the ball. Not sure why they stopped.
Good luck Aggies we support you.
Good luck coaches

After watching last Friday’s game against Pace it was clear Tate looked like a cluster. Jay may be a great guy. Hats off for trying to make men out of these kids. But I saw an assistant coach that has no business trying to coach football. He tried to head coach the baseball team and was a complete failure. He needs to be banned from coaching at Tate. To be successful, the new coach has to hire competent assistant coaches not just teachers at Tate who want to earn a little extra money

Reach out to Mike Bennett. He played under Carl Madison and he has won championships. All he can do is say no.

There is a man living in our community now with Div1 experience and HE KNOWS COACHES TO HIRE. That is what the game is about KNOWING WHO TO HIRE and HAVING CONNECTIONS.

@Tate Alum..YES!!!!! Those two are high on my list as well…there’s another one on my list but I’m not thinking PF will let my Ol buddy leave. Good luck Tate but do your homework and not rush anything…you’ve got time.
