Everybody has an agenda, and some people swing a big stick. Small town politics at it's finest.

If he wins a state championship they will build him whatever he asks for.

I can see him winning and stay for as long as he wants. He will be a Administrator Head Coach. He will surround himself with great coaches and let them do their jobs. His son will run the offense and he will have the best defensive coordinator he can find. No reason to leave after 3 or 4 successful years. If he so desires, I'm sure they will make him AD only on the Hill and his son will take the reigns.

Nobody can argue that the $$$$ was THE factor in him taking the job. It is financial security for him and his family for the rest of his life, who can blame a man for that?
But, I guarantee you he sees it as an opportunity to do something special in a place that requires great coaching. Allen has become the place where just about any coach can win. BH is not that place. It is a challenge and an opportunity to win where many people don't think you can win. As coaches we are always looking for that chance to prove that coaching does matter. And at what better place than BH to prove than you can win with coaching, because you sure don't have the best athletes in the state.

I hope he stays for a long time. Having a new coach every 3 or 4 years is not a good situation. Trust me, I know.

They will not find a man more committed to Hemphill than John Launius was. Dumbest move they could have made. I'm sure there are some locals that were mad because the coaches son was the Quarterback. Such crap. John has always been a kids first coach. He learned from the best as a player for John Outlaw in high school. Hemphill made a huge mistake getting rid of him.

The real question is, how many coaches will be willing to move from Allen to the Hill?
I'm guessing, not very many. He will have to do a great job of recruiting to assemble a quality staff.
That will be the key to his success.

They are going to have another solid class. I don't know if SOLID is enough to win a West Division Championship though. My Hogs are going to have to have some amazing player development on the Defensive side of the ball to win as much as the Fans want. They are doing a great job on D-Line in recruiting and developing talent, but the Linebackers and Secondary leave a lot to be desired.

Great fit for him and a great get for the Razorbacks.
Bielema is not on the hot seat and anybody that thinks that is not very well informed. Enos did a great job with the offense this year and they are evolving into a well rounded, balanced attack that will appeal to great running backs as well as pocket passers and receivers. The Towns kid is the real deal and they will be better at QB in the future. They will continue to attract top tier offensive lineman and they will be very competitive on the offensive side of the ball.
Defensively they were young and have the makings of a solid group. The defensive lineman that played in the Under Armour game that has committed to Arkansas is a beast and they will be better in the Secondary with some key additions and the experience the young kids got this year.
Arkansas is on the move up. Unlike the SEC school in Texas that is struggling.
Good choice Devwah and best of luck on the Hill.
WPS!!!

Does Dayton make an announcement tonight?

This from the expert that said Whaley shouldn't go to Arkansas because Bieliema was on the hot seat lol. D1 expert here. I'm sure Devwah was literally drooling like Pavlov's dog Saturday watching those Hog road graders work. WPS btw!!!!

And let me add to this just incase someone who matters is reading, he not only hustles for football players to have opportunities at the next level, he hustles so that athletes in ALL sports can have opportunities at the next level. Coach Mann deserves an interview and serious consideration for the GCM job. I didn't think he would be interested in leaving Crosby this soon, but since his name is out there, I feel like it's time for those of us who believe in him to begin beating the drum.

Really good article.  So..Westlake and Lake Travis are two highest paid coaches in Austin area?  Where have I seen those school names before...Austin Westlake.  Austin Lake Travis.
Oh...that's right.  They're both playing in the 6A title game this coming weekend.  What a crazy coincidence.

Not saying the district doesn't pay well, because you are right as a whole the pay is great. But, $70-$80,000 is not the kind of money to attract a big name. I know of many smaller districts in the area that pay that or more.
