He also made the playoffs all 4 of his years, with one outright district championship in 2000...

Go find somewhere else to troll and stir the pot...

I wonder will this make it any easier to do spring ball or is that still not going to happen?

Welp, cats out of the bag...

Yea because Nelson and Taylor were OC's too...

Bingo!

True but they scratched Nelson from the list for an infraction that he inherited, that wasn't actually his. I agree on the Spring ball part, much needed. Some of the guys have been offered around $115K but turned it down due to having to keep holdovers on their staff. AL, DS and TF were even offered despite not even putting in for the United job and turned it down for various reasons. One of those names did put in for the PA job along with a couple of BISD holdovers by the way.

I know for a fact that the Wilson coach was told that he had to keep either keep Taylor or Nelson on staff as a coordinator. I don't think it was both but at least one of them. He was also told that he needed to win state next year and he started laughing. That's how that interview went. They were not trying to really hire that guy, just going through the process to appease everyone else. After that interview, they tried to get him to come back for a 2nd interview and sent in an e-mail requesting that his name be removed from the list of candidates.

True, I agree. I already have United shirts for me, my wife and my kids but this entire thing could have been done better.

A sh*t show being ran by Shannon Allen, Assistant Superintendent and soon to be Superintendent. Man I couldn't agree with you more on this. Beaumont United Hurricanes would have been a whole lot better sounding and a mascot that the KIDS could relate to. Allen is trying to give this job to Taylor. I don't know how they are intertwined but that's what's happening. She is smart enough to know that if you don't allow an outside HC to bring in his own people or at least some of his own people, they won't except the job. Ron Jackson, Athletic Director, is not calling the shots. He is just the face and the puppet. She's calling the shots but he is the one who will get all the backlash that will come with this hiring.

Thanks for the tip. Never would have looked there. 11-18 at a basketball school I guess isn't too bad in 3 years...

Hmmm, I'm trying to do some research...

Interviews for the head volleyball coaching vacancy will be conducted tomorrow.

I'll take a guess, Brandon Faircloth...

Stowers was reportedly making $150K where ever he is and last I heard is no longer a candidate. But I understand your point about the assistant coaches. The hurdle for everyone except Stowers has been that the candidates are/were being told in the interview process that they couldn't bring any coaches with them and that Taylor and or Nelson had to be OC.

Between these 2 and whoever else, throwing the ball shouldn't be an issue IF a passing play is called. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Great guy from what I know of him. He does get the most out of his kids and has been spanking both of our schools with that system. I'm not a racist by any means and I don't think he is either but could you imagine all the talk on a guy and coach from Vidor being named the coach at United, a predominantly black and Hispanic school? But I'll take him over Taylor ANY day...

Find me another Head Coach with the last name Matthews...

Yea, the only Matthews that I can think of that is a current head coach...

Deadline is next Thursday if not sooner that they want to have made a hire. Interviews are still scheduled for next week. Shocked me when I heard a particular current head coach in the golden triangle has an interview next week.

You are 100% percent correct. They are trying to keep several people from the 2 programs and that's not how it works in the football coaching world. Head Coaches are usually allowed to bring their own people if the choose. It's a trust thing. How can the new regime trust that old holdovers are not trying to sabotage them? Several have turned it down for that reason.

No, the Central throwback was Stowers. The Ozen throwback was Louis.

I was saying further back on the list of Ozen coaches, not Central's...

No, further back then that...

I hope Danny is right in that the search has narrowed. What I do know for a fact is that 2 coaches were offered the job and their name isn't on the list. The Ozen throwback, like I said in a earlier post, stated that he didn't have the energy to start a new program and the Central throwback would be taking a $30-50K paycut to come here.
