I would assume with Hateration's recommendation the managers followed his advice...jmo

Will they call off the dogs after 52 on the scoreboard ???

You are correct...Before the numbers were validated Suggs opted to stay in 5A because quote "because his staff were familiar with 5A opponents" and maybe travel-which was a crock. jmo...Water under the bridge now...

Amen brother...Ozen is a moderate 4A team with no business in 5A...6A Westbrook will blow them away...Thanks Suggs and former AD...Mission completed..jmo

Fox 4 News just stated rescheduled for tomorrow...I'm just quoting...IDK for a fact...

Scattered Thunderstorms-Aug.26... wet playing field... turnovers... field position... kicking game advantage Nederland... coaching advantage Nederland...Upset...Nederland by 3... In a nail-biter...

The Boutte program has and will continue to sale itself...Who wouldnt want to play for a winner. Westbrook is very fortunate to get him and he will bring success back to the program. His work habits and his rapport with his players on and off the court is phenomenal. On the 6A level it'll take him (2018-2019) season to formidable. However he'll be very competitive locally in the YMBL,James Gamble and Fred Williams tournaments just on mere coaching...jmo

The machine should be rolling full throttle by (2018-2019) season....The Midas touch- everything he touch turns to gold....Hard work,talent and coaching....jmo...

Well he-(Durley)- was under tremendous pressure to play players based on who their fathers/relatives were and not their ability. The team struggled and wasnt winning.Coach Durley manned up and played the best players on a consistent basis and won a state championship in the school's first year of existence. I dont think he ever considered quitting but he did feel the pressure but handled it very well.

Sources say it was his job to take but withdrew... He decided to stay at Central and be the new HC there when Toby goes back to WestOrange whenever that position becomes available. Interesting conversation piece but the validity is questionable for now.

Did the final 6 candidates not meet the standards ???... Rumor states one of the final 6 withdrew due to a lack of interest....

Beaumont Ozen is on auto-pilot...No head football coach-Suggs resigned...No head Principal... She was promoted to Assn.Superintendent...First day of school starts in 58 days August 24 No scheduled board meeting on BISD web-site. The Ozen community is too relaxed......If they dont stand for something they'll go for anything an old cliche...jmo...smh

Still no urgency in naming the new hire. Shame on the slow process. Maybe there's other plans for the program...jmo

I agree BISD needs to try new blood,new direction and hire an AD with unbiased ties to any sector of the community.

The AD job opening is posted on BISD web-site so the position want be eliminated.

A change is going to come !

Head Principal

I think Ozen needs a Principal as well not 100% sure however

Karma...............

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Is there a possibility more than 17 applied ? Is it possible they decided to only interview 17 of what they were considered top prospects. Anything further would be pure speculation on my part so I'll rest my case my on this observation. Suggs's contract ends this week or next so hopefully the hire will be announced then...jmo..

Let's be serious here. It's no great surprise that only 17 applicants applied at this late date. The downtrodden football program and the history of BISD has not and will not attract the upper tier coaches with or without head-coaching experience. Secondly $82K to $85K is not an upper tier draw card. To get a program/game changer head coach the mentioned salary is not realistic. So the end results with the football program will remain at best mediocre or less...jmo.

Out of 16 other applicants the board of managers and whoever else had input have concluded this decision is the answer??? Hope the grapevine didnt have too much of the fruit of the vine. So this is the new direction and image ???

Hopefully the new hire at Beaumont Ozen will have a full arsenal of assistant coaches to combat the terminology they were out coached. For some reason in years past there was a noticeable shortages of varsity coaches on Ozen sideline. PNG and others have a model programs with sufficient staff to compete on a 5A level. Ozen football team,coaches and fans look like a 3A school on friday nights. PNG: 13 Varsity Coaches Faircloth -Headcoach Abel-Offense assn. Ballew-Co-Off.coordinator/Special teams Bass-Off.Line Byrd- Running backs Carter-Defense line...Hartwick-Defense Line...Gatlin- Secondary...Luttrull-Tight ends McKeller-Linebackers...McPhatter Secondary...Medlock-Co-Off.coordinator/-O.Line...Templin Defense coordinator/Linebackers...Just an example for demonstrative purpose only. jmo.

It all appears to be G4 classified-( A BIG SECRET)-The BISD in house front runner/"PROVEN HEAD COACH" must not be interested...jmo...

I know a coach from a proven work ethic program and I can hear "CHEROKEE" playing in my head right now !
