Dan Hooks Quotes

Yet another week in a 'bulldog pen' for us. What a charming non-district schedule we have, huh. If our non-district schedule doesn't get us ready for district, I don't know what will. It's as tough as you can get. - Dan Hooks

We want to do whatever we can to help. - Dan Hooks

We have a mega-school powerhouse district. We're used to being in a 4A league that was rough like that. I thought we might be in a five-team district but it didn't work out that way. - Dan Hooks

We have 23 people. Our kids are playing both ways, so it's a battle of the numbers. We're working hard in practice and just came away with two big road wins. - Dan Hooks

To get in there and get it done faster seems to be a better option. It gets a little dicey as far as planning things like the pre-game meal and getting all the equipment and stuff ready to haul but I really think it will be a good thing once everyone gets adjusted to it. - Dan Hooks

To be behind to Nederland 10-0 and comeback was a great accomplishment. We fought back and toppled adversity and thought we did a decent job tonight. - Dan Hooks

This has to be the biggest honor I've ever had the opportunity to receive. To be selected by a group of your peers makes it that much more special. - Dan Hooks

The point-spread, you know, I don't enjoy that, but I thought our kids played really well. In that last quarter, we had our backup players out there so we weren't trying to run up the score. But I was really proud of our football team, especially our defense in the second-half. - Dan Hooks

Nederland is always such a sound and solid football team. Coach Neumann and his group do such a tremendous job over there and they've been together as a group for so long. I think they've been to the playoffs 10 straight years or so. They always have some good-looking kids. They look the same as they did in 1981. They have big kids that work hard year around. They look like they're just cut from a different mold. They just seem to reload every year with the tremendous depth they have. Another key to their success is that they don't turn over the football. They've won a lot of games over the years doing that. - Dan Hooks

It's truly been a tremendous ride and I'm not ready to let go of it just yet. Coaching is something you have to love to do. You like to see kids succeed on the field but what they do in life is what's most important. To hear all the success stories, that's what makes a coach, a good one, the proudest. - Dan Hooks
