Also fairly sure WH had a bond overwhelmingly fail recently. Probably was a factor in the decision to move along. Unfortunately, I feel this may signal the end of the WH football program. They were hanging on for dear life as it was anyway.

Oh man, this is wild. Taylor was all in at WH. I am curious what happened here.

The joke that never dies! lol

Who did the voicemail message say it was?

Search Anahuac Sports Live on youtube. Should have all of last years games on there. See for yourself.

Very clever of you sir. Honest question though, why would Taylor take this job? Seems like quite the dumpster fire in Hardin right now and he is certainly taking a pay cut to make the move considering he is losing the AD title. I heard what you said earlier about 2025, but with the current state of Hardin athletics and the parents who damn near revolted this year because the coaching was so poor in all sports except volleyball, he may not survive in that job until 2025!

So then Taylor from one of the two school that fit that distance radius. Why didn't you just say so! lol I'll let yall guess which one!

Man I certainly hope that isn't the case. Crosby could be a destination school for coaches if they'd get out of the coaches way and let him do his thing. Allowing Prieto to resign right now is risky. Maybe they do go find the next OC savant and stay as relevant as they've been, or maybe they miss badly and fall into absolute obscurity due to the move to the next division up. Time will tell. This superintendent will make or break herself with this hire.

I hear you, and what you are saying is true, but there was also a significant speed and talent difference between Hardin 8th grade football and 3A varsity football, and he navigated that pretty well. Let's just wait and see before we start to bury the kid on this board. I like the conversations also, but I can't help but think about the potential of the kid in question reading these posts and how that might affect him. We all love this sport and are passionate about our teams, but we are also all passionate about supporting all kids from SETX to succeed on every night except the one when they oppose our city! lol. Good luck Coach and Son. We're all rooting for your success.

I am looking forward to digging this thread back up in October and revisiting these strong opinions all you guys have.

What you meant to say was you didn't know who Prieto was before he hired in at Crosby. He was well known as a great OC and had a ton of success at CC Vets.

There ain't no other town 7 miles from Hardin sir.

His best work was during his first stint as a head coach at Brazos. Caney Creek was Caney Creek and the Hardin program was beginning to show signs of life in the lower levels while he was there. You'd have to go back to before his HC records to really see the impact he had. He was at Jasper for quite a few years prior to taking the Brazos job, had stints at Cleveland, Hull-Daisetta and a few others sprinkled in over the years.

I thought it was said that Barrow didn't have an OC last year.

This. The son is a bonus. Coach Barrier is one of the brightest offensive minds in the area and he is just now getting his due. Trust and believe, he isn't getting jobs just because his son is in tow. His merits stand on their own.

Well that narrows it down to two cities, Liberty and Daisetta. Can't imagine they'd be able to lure Lackey out of Liberty so that only leaves one man standing.

I was curious if any of those guys were players on the team. Horrible situation for two proud communities.

Interesting first post. Hard to believe that Mann would want to leave his job in his hometown and move all the way across the state, but I guess stranger things have happened.

It's a bleep show in Hardin right now.......

Anybody have any details on this or who might end up at Crosby?

This is a major mistake by Crosby. Let the tumble begin.

Two years later.....

Sounds like an excellent idea to me.

Boy that was anti-climactic. Congrats to Coach Day.

Nac has been dragging their feet on the hire, maybe he didn't know that he was leaving last week.
