Well IMO, the Summer Creek job is a nice job.

I think they should as well but we will have to wait and see...

Soulja, I don't know if "Oh they want some" is going away but here is one of the songs being submitted... In the first video go to the 1:30 mark... [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content]

Good pick up for the Deer...

I just use the state average as a minimum to increase it to. If it was up to me, I'd take that $258,000, give Peevy $129,000 and the Ozen-Central coach $129,000 which would make them the 6-7th highest paid coaches in the state. AD Jackson would have every coach worth something just about putting in. But hey, it's not up to me...

Let me add him to the list, I think that would be a great move.

Good post, good points and good questions. For your 1st question, to me, it totally depends on who the HC is. You've seen some masterful turnarounds at some programs simply with a new HC. The new HC comes in and changes the culture, the work out habits, how practices are done and most importantly the mindsets in the locker room and it turns into winning on the field. The talent is there. I woundn't mind seeing an outside person with great pedigree get it but if it stays in house, I'd have to give it to Nelson. I've had a couple of discussions about the pay with the AD because I feel the same way. It must increase at least $12-14K to draw in some game changer type coaches. West Brook currently has several kids on their football team that actually live in either Central or Ozen zones like next years starting QB for them. Now those kids will be grandfathered and should remain where they currently are but for all incoming freshman, BISD needs to become strict and enforce the boundaries once the rezoning is complete. That along with the naming of the school, and a mascot and colors that the kids think will be "cool" to play for, things will begin to shift back. So I expect the school to be competitive. I'm not saying anything about state championships, not even in boys basketball. Competitive in every game and every sport. Even if they are getting blown out in baseball, I want them out there competing and not quitting.

Well I'm glad you think the list will be long because unless they get the salary up, I don't. This is one time I hope you are correct, LOL. . No fumbles allowed... Go ask the DeSoto coach Peterman that they forced out if he want to come down here...

At the current pay of $86,000 when the state average is $98,000, he probably isn't willing to come for that. Here is what we do know, Jeff Nelson (Central) and Ed Taylor (Ozen) will be applying for the position. Now the thing is how many other applicants will put in for the position. I'll leave it up to one of my media buddies to get us a list when the time is appropriate.

North Shore is definitely the clear cut favorite in that district. It would be a battle for the 2, 3 and 4 spots basically. I was really hoping to avoid North Shore in our first 2 years but hey if this district comes to fruition, then just tighten up those chin straps.

Good assessment. I agree with those favorites but I just hope these are not the districts.

He not a head coach anywhere at the moment. I don't know if he is totally out. Guess I could ask him...

Yep...

I sent Stowers and Cobb (one of Stowers assistants) the notifications

I have an official notice that ALL positions will be opened for outside applicants. The head football, volleyball and cross country will be open effective tomorrow.

Couldn't get much info except that either all head coaching positions will be open for outside applicants or none of them will. I say open them up and see what happens...

Understood, I stated this same thing earlier this week. The "ball" is actually starting to pick up a little speed...

I will, give me sometime to confirm some stuff with them. They've found this helmet and uniform program and finding pictures on the internet. They've been showing me stuff daily but I want this to be theirs along with the other students involved, decision.

Glad you are not on the committee. My boys (sophomore and junior) were notified yesterday that they both will be on the student committee being put together between the 2 schools that will put the school name, mascot, colors, etc. together. They are supposed to meet Monday.

Does playing Nederland, Central, Ozen or any of the 5A with the exception of PA Memorial maybe really benefit West Brook? Not in my opinion. With the exception of PA Memorial, I hope AD Jackson only schedules 6A schools similar in size for the Ozen-Central mergers non-districts games.

The best post I've read on the Setxsports in a while

It's funny to me to see 3 Panthers but no Jaguars when the final scores and play on the field weren't even close in the Varsity and JV games between the 2 schools. But hey they'll all be one team next year...

Good win Panthers! Looks like you'll be the district champs or at least they control their own destiny. Looking forward to teaming up with them next year.

His name came up in a conversation yesterday. But I know he has to be making more $$$ there and has already established them. When your school averages 4500 students, and half of those are boys and your pay is good, why leave?
