Just curious, did Randy Rowe apply for this job?

Do we have a run-down of Coach Harrison's accomplishments?

My whole point was that I LIKE the concept of an AD ONLY position. With the caveat that this person needs to have a FOOTBALL background, Not that they need to have been a Head Football Coach, but if you don't have a football coaching background then you really don't know what ALL it takes for a football program to be REALLY successful.

A LOT more that goes into running a football program than just hiring coaches. But, I get your point. However, GREAT Football programs and GREAT Football schools will have experienced FOOTBALL guys as AD's. This is even true at the college level. If a school really wants to be GREAT at football, then you need a football guy at the helm. An AD can make decisions that are in the best interest of all Athletic Programs that HELP football, or an AD can make decisions that are supposedly in the best interest for all Athletic Programs that HINDER football. Only a football guy knows the difference.

The job has been posted since he was named interim, in fact the OC job was actually posted by Reyes and he was in the process of calling people for interviews before he got the Palestine job.

Now, who is he going to hire as his OC? What direction is Lumberton going to go in Offensively?

Preface, I am a FOOTBALL COACH. There are numerous advantages to having an Athletic Director ONLY position. The AD is an Administrator and overseeing every Athletic program is a daunting task, It is a full-time job, if done right. However, Football is a different animal, it is light years different from any other sport. The sheer number of coaches necessary to be competitive as well as the large number of participants makes it different than any other sport. If you have never coached football, then it is going to be very difficult to understand what goes into having a successful program. Having an AD that does not understand the inner workings of what it takes to win in football is NOT a recipe for success.

Thanks for the info.

Did Kirbyville make a hire?

You need to do a FOI request for this application list?

Any timeline on a new Superintendent hire? Is McDonald going to atleast get a year to prove himself?

You are 100% spot on. Consistency and sustainability should be the two things that Lumberton values the most in this position.

Hearing there is WAY more to the story in Lumberton than has been put out for public consumption.
