There has to be more to this story. He still has a daughter in school at Jasper.

she graduates this year.

I'll be honest. I kept checking this board expecting to see that he was moving on in some way. It just felt like it was time. I'm sure the next coach will also be the AD as Coach Barbay was. I'm sure some good coaches will apply, but Coach Alvarez's track record and familiarity with the program would be hard to pass up. I wonder how much smoke there really is to that speculation.

I'm hearing Jack Alvarez is the leading candidate. He has grandchildren in the school system and just built a lake house on Rayburn.

Wow, that would be great. A great coach and a great person. He sure put Kville on the map before moving to Ennis.

unfortunately for both Bryan&Darrell their careers combined doesn't come close to the LEGEND that is Curtis Barbay.

I read where Mansfield is dropping from class 3 to class 2. I think they were 7-4 last year.

That man will do anything to avoid playing Silsbee.

I find this post especially funny.  Although I’ll add maybe avoid ‘getting in his feelings’.

[Bulldogs92]

It's hard to argue the criticism about the Silsbee situation. There are two sides to that story, but either way it should have made us want to play the Tigers even more. Like I said before, Barbay did a good job in Jasper overall and he had two really good teams in 2018 and 2019. I wish him and his family well, but it's time for us to turn the page. 

The next coach has his work cut out for him retooling the offense. Bronson is doing an amazing job with his defense and that needs to be left alone unless he gets the job and hires another coordinator. It'll be interesting to see what the school board decides to do.

Well if Alvarez comes I guess y’all will be going back to a Wing T/ Slot formation

Not necessarily. That would be a lil bit different from what he ran at Ennis, Copperas Cove and Cuero from what I've seen. He mixed it up alot.

Exactly.

Coach Alvarez still bases his offense out of the wing-T.   Scat, scat trap, etc.   

 

But over the years, the one thing that seperates him from other wing T guys is he will throw the ball.   He’s not afraid to throw it 15 times a game, and he will mix some shot gun in there as well.

 

Alvarez would kill it in Jasper, and I agree that Cuero don’t have the athletes Jasper does.   Not many schools do, but I don’t see him leaving Cuero after 2 years.

 

This may depend on what Mrs Alvarez wants.   His oldest Brandon, is in Garrison with the grandkids, so that may have some sway in his decision.

And good luck to Darrell in Mansfield.   Desoto Parish pays extremely well.  At one point, they were the best paying school system in Louisiana, with all the Haynesville Shale money.

 

He’s still a young guy.   Gets to collect his TRS and double dipping in LA.

Barbay had a good season this year and last. Nothing wrong with his results in Jasper. Had to deal with Carthage and some tough outs in the playoffs.
