Here we go with this narrative again.

So Collins didn't finish the season?

I have trouble believing Randy Snell did anyone dirty. Who is the new coach in Hardin?

How do you not know Brent Anderson? Guy was a wizard on the court in the late 90s early 2000s. Are you familiar with the name Reescano? There is talent in Hardin, sure as hell more talent than there is in WH. Surely Collins didn't burn a bridge in Hardin, his hometown, to go to WH and lose in the first round of the playoffs every year.

This is my question, especially since Collins is from Hardin and seemingly took the job at "home" to settle in for the long haul. Hardin obviously wasn't too keen on keeping him since they stepped aside and let him walk away. If it was a money issue, I'd assume Hardin would be able to match or best whatever WH was offering. Something smells fishy here.

When someone reaches for the race card, you know they have run out of intelligent arguments to make supporting their point.

Where did I call you a racist? If you want to make that accusation, you better dang well have something to back it up.

Does this statement also apply to all schools or just to minority schools? Are we proposing different rules for different districts? Seems like a slippery slope.

Pay won’t change because of assistants? What do you mean by that? Barrier is certainly in line for a pay raise if he’s interested in the HD job. Also, don’t discount the relationship between Barrier and Bird. This might be a situation where they’re interested in working together. I lean “no”, but its possible. Considering this same scenario was attempted when Hodges was hired, Bird may not be interested.

Family reasons may play into it, but Hodges leaving is clearly tied to the drama that ended with the HD principal leaving for Liberty. I’m curious if Ned Barrier might be interested in this one. His wife was just hired as the principal at HD elem and he has a lot of history in the community. He would be a slam dunk hire and since he’s not the AD at Hardin, it should come with a healthy pay bump. Not to mention, have you seen his soon to be 8th grade son? That boy is going to be special. He’d look good in red and black. The community of HD needs this right now. It’s fractured. The barrier family could begin to repair the damage done recently and being new life to the high school. I like Bird just fine, but if HD had a shot at Barrier, a proven HC (see Brazos), then they have to take it.

There it is. I always knew Warrens issues in Football were tied to the age and energy of their head coaches. That's why I was against the hire of the low energy, old man Kevin Barbay several years ago. I am glad to see they are trying a new model in their hiring processes.

Seems like Mr. Dodge may have used BH in the same way Saban uses Texas every couple of years. Probably secured a bit of a raise out of the whole ordeal.

Sho is quiet

What say you, JayBilas?

Now that would be something to see.

I got a name for you who loves Tarkington and wants to be there for the long run.....Stan Howard.

Whoa. Good luck to him, but this seems like an uphill battle.

Either way, it's pretty wild that you are here commenting on the job you were a finalist for, acting like you were not one of the finalists and purporting to have sources on the inside who were informing you of the process. "Sources say the finalists were on campus today for interviews...."....... It's a bad look brother.

This is the absolute definition of hating. It's interesting to me, there once was a poster who frequented the basketball board by the name of DickieV. DickieV was a well known basketball coach from the SETX area who was quite vocal about his opinions on many things, but announced his identity and intention to leave the board after being hired as an assistant at a West Texas college. DickieV hasn't really been heard from since, except for the one time he popped in to criticize Dave Bliss receiving another job in college basketball after the Baylor debacle. DickieV argued that others deserved that second change rather than Bliss, and even pointed out that DickieV had been chosen as coach of the year over Bliss when they both coached in TCAL. After those comments, he vanished again. Fast forward to now. JayBilas arrives on the board, seemingly out of the blue, with a major interest in the HF coaching position. JayBilas' sentence structure and overall disposition of his posts is almost identical to DickieV. JayBilas even displays his passion toward subject matter that DickieV was passionate about. After reading the list of finalists for the HF job that was posted here, my interest is piqued regarding these two contributors. Who knows, what's really going on. I'd hate to think that one of the other finalists for the job was on a public message board disparaging the finalist that was awarded the position, especially since all of the criticism is an assumption and has been proven wrong. That would be a tragedy.

Looks like the community didn't resonate with the plan to jump out of UIL athletics and their inability to finish the season last year. It will be hard to get anyone decent in there, but maybe a young up and comer who isn't afraid of a challenge can get that ball rolling again.

You know what, you are right. Seriously. Everyone deserves second and sometimes third chances to make things right. I know for dang sure I have gotten them in the past. Thanks for the correction.

Oh yeah. Yates has had great success in the past and has always kept himself out of trouble. HF should be proud to have his name on the list.

LOLed at that......

Tod Stark. No question.

Please tell everyone my name.
