Maybe so, but it doesn't look good for the Athletic Coordinator/Head Football Coach at Sterling to live in Barbers Hill and his kids not go to GCCISD Schools.

No truer words have ever been spoken. You have to have at least one "GO DADDY' to win State Championships, preferably 2 or 3. "GO DADDY" is East Texas for transcendent athlete.

You are correct Sir, it is far and way the best location for the games. The experience is like no other.

I would say the District is solid and consistent and occasionally has the fire power to make a deep run, whether it be BC, WOS, Silsbee or LCM. Any news on the Football applicant list?

Besides the fact the Miles is very LOYAL, why is this a hard choice? I would think the positives of Coldspring would far outweigh the negatives.

Tempting or a "Done Deal."

We all like $$$$$$$. I'm not pushing, i just think he would be great hire for Coldspring. He should definitely do what is best for him and his family. I feel sorry for him in Shepherd, the turnover rate is incredible.

AT&T Stadium to host 2018 & 2019 UIL Football Championship Games FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AUSTIN, TX — All University Interscholastic League football state championship games will be played at AT&T Stadium in Arlington for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, the UIL announced Wednesday. The 11-man and six-man football championship games will be played at AT&T Stadium, with a schedule placing all 12 games in a four-day span. The 2018 championship games will take place December 19-22. “We are pleased to bring the UIL Football State Championships back to AT&T Stadium for another two years,” said UIL Executive Director Dr. Charles Breithaupt. “The UIL is excited to showcase the best high school football in Texas during this unique championship experience.” The UIL has determined the site of the largest conference state championships since 2006, and all conferences have played at pre-determined locations since 2010. AT&T Stadium hosted all 11-man championship games from 2011-2014 and 2016-17. The six-man championship games were hosted at AT&T Stadium 2016-17.

You, yourself said Coldspring had more athletes than Shepherd, especially for the future. Livingston does not have the jimmy's and Joe's, from what I have seen. Heck, Shepherd may beat them next year. Is there a job in the area with Athletes that is open that we are missing?

This is the answer to so many questions. Including why Miles would leave Shepherd to go to Coldspring.

Most Coaches are convinced they can coach the X's and O's and can handle the discipline(at least during the season). The Jimmy's and the Joe's are what win games and keeps those paychecks coming. Win while you can and get out while the getting is good.

Only one name you need to know. Edward "Bubba" Arledge

I think between this post and the one above, you have made the case for why Miles should take the Coldsprings job.

I'm interested to see who they hire.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Our society has gotten so SOFT!!! What a joke. Player: Mommy, mommy, coach yelled at me and he used a dirty word. Mother: Well, what did you do? Player: I didn't do nothin, he just got mad cause after 5 guys went before me, I ran the wrong route. And after the first team ran the play twice, I went with the 2nd team and I blocked the wrong guy, again. Mother: Well how dare he yell at my baby, I'm going to the Superintendent!!!

I'm pretty sure they will hire a guy that has been there before. He will know what he is getting into. They have already been put behind the 8 ball with the late resignation, Broussard stuck it to them. The first year will probably be a wash, the Senior class to be was supposed to be good, but many have quit. It will be a challenge to get hose kids back out, but tghat won't be the focus. The focus will be getting the numbers up from the 11th grade on down. Fielding 3 teams would be a start, but not sure that is possible year one either. Livingston will be long term project and one not for the faint of heart.

Do you live in Shepherd or Coldspring? Shepherd has had as much talent as Coldspring the past few years, that will not be the case in the future. Shepherd will lose a bunch with this Senior class, including their "Bell Cow" in Trevor Moye. They will still have a few players, but the JV was below average this year and the Jr. High was terrible. Coldspring is a better job than Shepherd for the foreseeable future.

Knowing Livingston they will wait, and wait, and wait......

Logic fails so many.

There is more talent in Coldspring, the well in Shepherd has run dry.

Winning is a relative term. Like in Livingston's case, they have been what 1-9 or 2-8 the last 4 years under Broussard? If they bring in a Bubba Arledge and he goes 5-5 and finishes 4th in district and sneaks in the playoffs then has he won?

There are ZERO full-scholarships for baseball. NONE!!! If a kid is draftabale, they might receive 75%, but those are rare. Division I college baseball teams offer 11.7 scholarships, which have to be distributed among a maximum of 27 players. Some, are getting 50%, but even those are rare. And, most College Baseball Coaches prefer multi-sport athletes. There are very few "career" ending injuries and the positives of playing High School Football, far outweigh the negatives, IMO.

Some people just don't get it. They don't understand that the combination of talent and coaching and circumstances have to line up to win CHAMPIONSHIPS.

If I had to guess, Miles Robinson would be in the mix for this one. He is a Coldspring boy and I could see him wanting to go home. With Shepherd out of Moye's the pickings may be slim in Pirate land.

Four reasons coaches leave: 1. Money 2. Adminisrtation 3. Talent (well run dry) 4. Community Support (lack there of/too much griping or complaining)
