Seth and Zach are both VERY good coaches. Zach is due for a baseball title at some point. 

Masters comes with the administrators certification. Many AD positions require the admin cert…That’s one way they can pay and keep AD out of the classroom. 

Only school that hires Haynes is Hardin.  Everybody else learned their lesson(s).

Brady Barrier will be a sophomore at Rusk HS and will play football. His father is Coach Ned Barrier and will coach on the offensive side.  I am Nathan Barrier (Pap), Ned's father and Brady's grandfather.  I began coaching in 1971 and am retired.  I encourage Rusk fans to buckle up & hold on tight.   

I heard that Nederland’s staff and boosters were not very friendly to the Barriers during their visit. A whole lot of “don’t think you’re coming in here to reinvent the wheel” and “we’ve got our starting QB so don’t think some small school kid can come in here and play” etc. Pretty sure Nederland not being very welcoming was the determining factor of the Barriers moving on. 
 
And on a couple other notes, Ned is a tremendous coach and offensive mastermind. His head coaching record isn’t great, but look at the programs he took over. Nobody goes to those schools and puts up big winning records. Any school would be lucky to get Coach Barrier as HC or OC….with or without Brady coming along. 
 
Speaking of Brady, apparently several posters on this thread have NOT SEEN this kid play. He is legit in every sense of the word. Tremendous athlete, great kid, and someone that LOVES football. He just made it to regionals in the discus…as a freshman. And those of y’all saying yeah he started at a 3A school as a freshman, big deal, lots of kids do that. He didn’t just START, the kid balled out. He threw for 2600+ yards (65.8% completion), 21 TDs (rushed for another 5 scores) and only 5 interceptions. He only play 2-3 quarters in multiple games blowing teams out and in the 10 games other than Newton and Franklin he only threw one interception (Anahuac was trailing in both those games and were throwing a ton late into heavy pass coverage). Kid throws dimes and eats, sleeps and breathes football and is a very underrated athlete. He’s about 6’3” 200lbs right now….and just finished 9th grade last week. His first game after 8th grade was the season opener as the starter against Newton and the athletes they bring to the table….and he didn’t seem phased at all. So anyone thinking he can’t make the immediate jump to 5A and that level of play doesn’t have a clue. We’ll be watching this kid throw TDs on Saturdays in a few years, mark my words. Nederland really lost out not getting those two. 

This isn’t college. They aren’t recruiting replacements. They aren’t searching a non-existent Texas High School Transfer Portal for new playmakers. Barrier could get hired on his credentials without bringing his son. Is his son a bonus? Yes, but he isn’t the reason his father is or isn’t a candidate.
As for confidence I will say this, the Anahuac kids had no problem with a freshman coming in and taking the starting role…

We open against Anahuac next year. Hope he is at Nederland, he picked us apart last year. All of you that said he needed another year at Anahuac, just watch and see.

Ned Barrier, man. I've been trying to tell y'all. 

They have SFA at #17 in power rankings.  Been getting some votes in AP top 25. One loss and all that goes up in smoke. Lol

SFA over Lamar 70-62. John Comeaux (Ozen HS) with 18 points in his homecoming. Hard not to root for this guy with his story...

I was wishing SFA could have signed him. 

Finney's star got bright turning around Teague and then going to Hull Daisetta and got a couple of winning seasons. Kinda disappeared quickly after that because he couldn't sit still. Dude bounces around a lot...
