[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1031299" timestamp="1312422913"] Oh.......I was under the impression that Mackay was named interim until next season!!!! [/quote] It was expected last night, but it didn't happen, yet.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1031291" timestamp="1312422411"] Seems fishy to me.  Hope they dont change their mind!!! [/quote] Change their minds about what? The board last night did not appoint Mackey. It seems they still have their eye on a couple of other coaches.

[quote name="LAZEEK" post="1031275" timestamp="1312420602"] I thought it was a done deal that Mackay was going to be the interim for the next year? [/quote] I did too. Still think that it will end up being Mackey, but it seems the powers at be want to explore more options. ::) The job is still officially open.

Two of these 5 "finalists" have already turned the job down. In actuality, it's down to just Mackey and Sigler.

Congrats!

;D and I like Silsbee's chances against BC. ;D

[/quote] I stated that Coach Brooks and Coach Collins were paraprofessionals a few posts back. ::) [/quote] Beaumont Enterprise Said That Silsbee Was Going To Announce The Coach Next Tuesday Is This True? [/quote] I believe that to be true. I was told they could have named one last night and it was expected to be Kyle Mackey. Not sure what has changed but I am still under the impression that Coach Mackey will be named.

Honestly, I just wanted everyone's take on if they thought or felt if any rules had been broken. If indeed what was shown in the video is a rules infraction, then the UIL needs to lighten up. BTW, the UIL was informed of this long before I posted this thread. Hey, I take the good with the bad with this job.

[/quote] :D I'll still ask for info on 3-5A, 5-3A and 3-2A  :D [/quote] Get it yourself, he's busy with more important things (SETX) ;)

[Hidden Content] Personally, I think it makes Silsbee a better team if Reed can be the starting QB. This will allow Drake to be a starting receiver and safety, where the Tigers really need him.

[quote name="team first" post="1031088" timestamp="1312396709"] The coaching part would have nothing to do with it. [b]It's that an uncertified person is teaching where an certified person could be teaching. [/b] Now with all that being said I think Ira is the best for the job. But it should be done rt. [/quote] Ira has not been "teaching". He has been a paraprofessional. All schools have paraprofessionals. They are not required to be certified.

[quote name="team first" post="1031075" timestamp="1312394767"] Ur rt speechless, and it's called foul play [/quote] How is it foul play if no rules have been broken?

[/quote]And you have to be certified to be a head coach in Texas. [/quote] Correct. That is why Coach Mackey will be the interim head coach.

[/quote] Exactly. Thanks for clearing that up, speechless. Ira and James have been paraprofessionals in the district for many years and have done a great job. Ira has been my youngest son (who has autism) para and James will be his para this coming school year. All do a fantastic job.
