****Coach Stowers resigns today****

The problem starts right at the top. BISD isn't gonna pay a HC more than the principal at the school makes, therefore there seems to be a revolving door at the place. Maybe Thomas would be willing to take some of his overpaid $300+K salary and give his principals a raise so the HC's would get some of the jingle, and we'd be able to keep the HC's that are decent and have them stop using BISD athletics as a stepping stone. -
What makes them so great? 1. Hooks has won in 5A, 4A and 3A with multiple state titles (and lots of years)! He is great. 2. Barbay has won at the 3A and 4A levels with multiple state titles (and lots of years)! He is great. 3. Neuman has built a good program at Nederland, no state titles and only one deep playoff run (lots of years). Not great, but very good. Now, would you have taken anyone of these coaches after four years of there career? Probably not unless you could see the future. You take a risk on a young guy based on what he has done in a short period of time and hope it continues as in Hooks, Barbay and Neuman! Stump has done a very good job in a short period in his first public school gig you can't deny that. And I am so tired of you saying that he wins because of the talent. The same talent was there when Rabb was there and he couldn't win! Plus Stump has won as many playoff games in four years at WB as your self proclaimed great coach at Hardin (Haynes) has in 20 years. No it was not. Ozen came into the picture a year after Rabb took over the reigns at the Brook. ALOT of the talent that would have gone to West Brook (kids in the Pear Orchard neighborhoods) suddenly went to Ozen, and our talent pool really took a hit. Without that talent, West Brook was nowhere near as successful as it was. It has only been in the last few years that that talent has slowly come back, and as you can see, Ozen is not what it once was as a result of that. So you see, Stump is a pretty good coach without the talent, but he's even better with it. Talent makes alot of difference.

You're right, if you look at the total number of years each school has been in existance. PN-G has WAAAY more playoff games and wins just simply because the Indians have been around for nearly a century. However, if you look at playoff percentages in the 27 West Brook has existed, then West Brook has been alot more successful than PN-G. Not only in making the postseason, but winning in the postseason as well. BTW, just as a side note, PN-G is 0-8 lifetime against West Brook.

WOW! I didn't see this one coming!!!! Well, I guess he got out while the getting was good. Good luck to Coach Stowers, I know he will make an immediate impact wherever he goes. I have to wonder if any of our coaches will apply for the HC vacancy at Central. I hope not. -
You guys keep saying that you have alot of talent coming up through your system for the next 5 or 6 years, and that may be true. But no offense, even with that, there aren't enough marquee players in that program for Craig to run in his offense. What I mean is, the talent level just isn't there to be able to make his offense effective and run properly. Again I mean no offense by what I've said, but I think that was one of the reasons he is staying at WB.
