Does it have anything to do with football being a much bigger priority?

There is a huge Teacher/Coach shortage and this area pays very poorly. HF being one of the worst districts. Things are only gonna get worse. Next election dont vote for Dan Patrick and Abbott if you care about your kids education.

Gotcha ya .  read some of it....a few posters ain’t got a clue about teaching or coaching or how salaries work. I’m not gonna even entertain that subject which I know first hand.

Back to the “impatience”  

i was just referring to it cause it’s west Hardin.   Has west Hardin been a powerhouse in the past?  Playoffs?  If not “impatience” doesn’t really fit to get rid of a guy especially if he s an alum and as long as he has good character.  It s west Hardin... you ain’t getting a top tier coach.

 

When he took over the program their it was in really bad shape and the base of his team the first 2 years were freshman and soph. He had done alot of good over there and is on his way to being a top tier HC one day once he gets some talent around him.

Okay... I'll bite.  What EXACTLY did Briles do?  The evidence clearly indicates that young women (and since it's Baylor we're talking about, probably some young men, too) were sexually abused.  Come to find out, some of them were attacked by football players.  Therefore, the man who draws up the plays for the team should never work again?  Jesus. 

Help me understand his culpability, please.  

Let's pretend that I manage a McDonalds.  Three of the kids that work back there cooking for me decide to go and rob a liquor store.  Suddenly I'm supposed to lose my store and never hold down another job?

That's kinda sorta what people want from Briles.  

So you hate teachers and women. Makes sense considering most teachers are women.

You should try google if you want to understand why Briles shouldnt have got this job.

If a person is lucky enough to find full time work in 2019, he or she will HOPEFULLY get to work 5 days a week for 52 weeks. Because for a lot of people, no work means no pay. 

So, 260 days per year. The typical teacher works a 182 day schedule. So basically 80 fewer days per year... and let’s not even talk about the people who work shut-downs, etc. 182 days a year is a fantasy camp. 

Or you can break down the daily rate. 40,000/182 days is basically $220/ day. Freaking loggers don’t make that much per day. 

Teachers are well-paid for the amount of work that they actually do. 

lol What are you talking about? I dont need an education to work a shut down or be a logger. I do happen to need one though to educate your kids and if you find a teacher who isnt working weekends then point me in the direction of that school that is that lax on planning. Now lets say I coach a sport or any other kind of activity. Well there goes those weekends and summers. from August till Christmas most coaches will work 7 days a week for a small stipend(thats just football, im not even counting spring sports). Considering a bunch of coaches and teachers are leaving to go work those shutdowns in the plants to make 2 to 3 times what they made as teachers and work less and not near as hard. I wouldnt call it a part time gig.. But hey buddy go get your degree and then student teach for a half a year unpaid and then take the state test which will cost you and then take your content test and become a teacher and work this part time gig. Their is a HUGE Teacher shortage and I would love for you to come step onto any of our campuses and show us what you got.

$40,000 a year for a part time gig indoors WITH benefits and no weekends is a pretty sweet gig. 

Part time gig?

I agree that they're a joke.. but it still stands true that each teacher in the district is more than likely not the only person putting a paycheck into the bank.  A female teacher making 40K so she can work at the school her kids go to with a husband that might work in a chemical plant making.. I dunno.. $30/hr can probably provide a pretty good life for their family.  Even if they have a husband/wife combo working at the school... $80K/year between the two of them is enough to not starve. I personally know guys that make that much and their wife doesn't work.. what's the difference?

 

There isn't a way to persuade someone with genuine experience to go there and work.  I'm sure they get a lot of young coaches, coaches at the end of their career, or maybe someone having a hard time finding a coaching job anywhere else.

Im sure there are a few but I know alot arent. I am not even sure what your point is. You must just like posting I guess.

Are you assuming that these teachers are supporting their family on their teacher salary alone?  There is a likelihood that they also have a working spouse.

Lolol not all my friend. Those salaries are a joke.

It's not about x's and o's. Its about Larry's and Joe's.

GCM was short on the Larry's and Joe's when they gave up lots of points to New Caney, Kingwood Park and Porter.

Well they have zero Larrys and very few Joe's.

At the moment Defense Coordinator for another 2A school that had a decent year, I've been to Jerry's world and not just too watch. 

Sounds like you should have actually applied instead of just posting about it. That said you wouldnt get 65 because you wouldnt be the AD. They gave that to the basketball coach. Also they already hired someone.

According to that article the pay is 65k at a 2a school. If nobody wants the job I'll take it. If you're from West Hardin and need an AD contact me. 

I would love form them to hire you Skeeter. Please list your qualifications.

I heard through the grapevine that multiple coaches turned down the job recently due to board member rumors and low pay. Newspaper came out a few years back saying west hardin was one of lowest Ad jobs in the state. Is it still true?

Sounds like they need to run these board members out of town. Just dont come to my town. We dont need yall crazy daddies here.

I think we should watch the name calling. I’ve had family graduate from that school and I can promise you there are good people there. Not saying there aren’t bad ones. 

I dont think he means everyone. I think he is talking about the school board members and the people who were friendly to the coaches face and then ran their mouths on FB. Heck the AD they ran off was from there. Right after making the playoffs.

West hardin baseball made playoffs. They’ll probably run that dude off too...

 

All because daddy was mad 

Here is how I heard it. A board member who has been out of control thought his son should be getting the ball more and pitched a fit to the coach during football season. Then when baseball came along the same board member didnt like the way baseball was going and went and got mouthy with the baseball coach. Since he didnt get what he wanted he went and rallied acouple of board members to try and non renew both coaches. This is after the best year in school history for athletics and thats not even counting if baseball wins and makes the playoffs Saturday. Some people just cant help but get over their ski's.

look like the OC was dialing it up tonight

Bridge City had 215 total yards with 4 first downs if you count the 2 long TDs. 

how did that happen?

Sad Sad. If Warren can't hire any better coaching staff. They should just shut down football. It is embarrsing to the kids. They have no ideal how to take what you have and make the most of it. I'm not saying they would be in the playoffs. But the games would at least be close. 

Why do you say that? seems like Warren has been through multiple coaches and they get pounded on the reg.That includes a coach who now works for the University of Florida. Sounds like someone should be hiring new towns folk because they seem to be the real problem. Also what is stopping you from getting you degree and applying?
