  1. Well I guess we will see who heard right haha
  2. Yeah. I don't think Liberty is in Beaumont lol
  3. Former HC in the area pretty close to Tarkington
  4. It was hinted at earlier in this thread if you can find it somewhere between Briles and Cheating.
  5. Either way. They have been head coachless "unofficially" since December so it is about time they make a hire.
  6. I heard about there possibly being a board meeting on Monday to hire the AD/HC
  7. I heard they are down to 2 finalists. Also heard this about one of them as well
  8. The job just got posted earlier this week so the process is just in the beginning. The posting is for AD and HFC but in the posting it says that they reserve the right to hire those positions separately. So they are very early in the process and don't know if they wanna separate it or not. The new sup just started so I imagine she will have somebody she will want to bring but she is from the Dallas area and not sure anybody will want to follow her down here. That is about all I know.
  9. Toby Belt has only been on staff since after Christmas so he wasn't a part of said losing staff.
  10. Tarkington is definitely not a prime location for move ins. There are like 15 rent houses that surround the school and no apartments at all. Everything else is pretty much a house with a couple acres of land. Not many options for people to move in randomly. I looked into buying some land in Tarkington and it was well out of my price range. They are very proud of their prairie land. I found cheaper elsewhere.
  11. He wasn't out of football. Just wasn't a head coach. He was at Bellville for the 5 years as the assistant HC before he took the Tarkington job. But that tells you that it isn't all coaching. 90% of high school football coaches can/will tell you this saying, "Jimmie's and Joe's not X's and O's".
  12. It is athletes. Stan Howard was the head coach at both East Chambers and Tarkington. At EC he won, I believe 9 games in his only year there. At Tarkington, he didn't win 9 games in his 3 seasons combined.
  13. I can tell you that they are not willing to pour anything into athletics. The weight room and fieldhouse are some of the absolute worst facilities in the area. The visiting team uses the middle school locker room that is even older than the high school locker room. A buddy of mine used to work there and they tell a story of a family of rats that fell out of the roof in the locker room one day. Unless they are willing to actually make those improvements to those then nothing will change. They have been saying they were going to build a new fieldhouse/weight room for almost 10 years now and it still hasn't happened. Having that poor of facilities makes those "on the fence" kids not want to participate. Give them something they can take pride in and that is how you will get participation up. I was told that before Covid hit, they actually had some blueprints from a contractor of a new field house but once Covid came, those plans disappeared. You have to have something the kids can take pride in to make them want to be in athletics and want to go to the weight room. The weight room is the old bus barn and the floor is 2 different heights.
  14. They did hire a new Sup finally so I think the AD and/or Head Coach search will finally get underway.
  15. All I said is that he made the playoffs his first year there lol. I don't think the school board will want him back though since they are the ones that ran him off and most of them are still on it.
  16. It is definitely very rare. But with those kids, still only averaged 2 wins a season. They had a rare run that they made the playoffs 3 years in a row and actually won the bi-district round game under Carpenter and I also want to say that those are the only 3 playoff appearances in school history as well. Well 2 playoff appearances with Carpenter and 1 under Howard.
  17. Surprisingly, they have had kids that have gotten football scholarships to some pretty decent programs. D2 and up. Got a WR playing at Henderson State, OL playing at A&M Kingsville, DE playing at Blinn, QB signed with Army for Baseball. Those were from the graduating class of 2020 and 2021. So there is some talent. But the jump from those to the rest is pretty big.
  18. Tarkington gas stations don't sell beer. Once you leave Cleveland and cross the Tarkington Bayou you won't see beer until after the Trinity River or almost to Dayton. Never made since to me. Because they definitely need it out there.
  19. The last 4 head coaches that were there left to just become coordinators at a different school. Carpenter just last year became a HC again at Klein Oak. I can name 2 coaches that live in Tarkington and have kids that go there that would be a good fit for the job, but I don't think the school board will go for it. Plus if you separate the AD/HC then you won't get many people who will want to deal with it either. I don't expect very many applicants for this job if it does get split. Hopefully they learned their lesson by hiring a south Texas guy and him only lasting one semester. Need a guy that is from SETX or Houston area that know what to expect with the job and willing to take on the challenge and ride it out for the long haul, community willing. Baseball coaches son is a senior this year so I am sure he is not far from retirement.
  20. I think if they want a quality guy then they can't split the AD/HC there. Just to be honest, not many people will want the job if it is just HFC. As stated, it takes a special guy who will develop the program but they won't stick around long enough to let it happen or they get ran out of town before it happens because the community wants to win immediately. Unfortunately, they have not done much winning ever outside of under Carpenter. The community needs to stop running out coaches and let them build quality young men and woman. A successful program is not always determined by the football record. Tarkington has been good at baseball, basketball, and track and field (mainly field lol) very recently. Get a guy that wants to be there and is passionate about it. Don't run them off because of the football record, some schools just aren't football schools.
  21. West Fork HS will take 1 Middle school feeder away from Porter HS. However, Porter is going to replace that middle school with one of New Caney's middle school feeders. New Caney will have 1 feeder (Keefer Crossing, 2nd biggest MS) Porter will have 2 feeders (White Oak and Pine Valley, The 2 smallest MS) West Fork will have 1 feeder (Woodridge Forest, Biggest MS) They rezoned the middle schools to make Keefer Crossing MS and Woodridge Forest MS similar in enrollment numbers. The other 2 MS together are similar in enrollment numbers but their enrollments are much smaller than the other 2 MS that are single feeders. All of the Freshman classes should be similar enrollment numbers for next year (in theory).
