    When you say coaching is the problem, are you referring to offense, defense or all of the above?

    Congrats to Ricky Tullos for being named COY by the Touchdown Club of Houston.
    Another example of a classy guy that has built a quality program by doing things the right way.
    Wonder if Cleveland has even realized what a good coach they let get away?

    And Ricky was a hometown boy, he is from Cleveland. Cleveland has failed to get things right a number of times, nothing new on that front.

    There are plenty of non-core subject areas and non-tested core subject areas in every school to put coaches in. You can have a quality education program and a quality athletic program at the same time, it just takes a commitment to both on part of the administration.

    Maybe that is the problem in GCM, you have a bunch of "hens" coaching football.
    If you don't think assistant football coaches are hired because of their ability to coach then you are sadly mistaken. In "Big Time" high school football coaches are coaches, the ability to teach in a classroom is completely secondary.

    That is the way it works in every school in Texas. Parents have a say so. If you don't respect parents enough to have an open line of communication with them, then they will go to the Superintendent and the School Board members and voice their displeasure in how you are doing your job. And if enough parents do this, then good luck keeping your job.
    You could but you would be wrong, I get paid to be successful.  If I don't put in the work, the hours, and with an amazing amount of effort then I'm not successful. If I'm not successful then I don't have a job. 
    You obviously have no clue.

    Yes, the Athletic Director narrows the pool of applicants based on resumes. He then does his initial interviews. Then narrows the field to 2 or 3, usually with a recommendation for who should get the job. Superintendent then either rubber stamps the recommendation from the AD or conducts follow up interviews himself. Then the Superintendent takes the recommendation to the School Board. Then the School Board either approves the recommendation or doesn't,

    Does GCM not have an athletic Twitter account? An athletic Facebook account? 
    In today's world these are a must.

    This article talks a lot about Texas, but Warren is a beast and if Whaley wants to play a bunch as a freshman Arkansas is the logical choice.

    None of it matters...these All District picks get stupider and stupider every single year.  Everyone is forgetting what a REAL all district selection is supposed to look like..smh
    If you were to take your district to play a game against another district...who would the starters be?  THAT'S 1ST TEAM ALL DISTRICT!  And their backups are 2nd Team.  OF THE 1ST TEAM LIST...the best kid is MVP.  That's the kid every coach would pick first if they were drafting a team from the district.
    It's gotten so watered down it's pathetic.  I assume they started adding kids to the list to keep people from getting their feeling hurt...well...looks like people are getting all butt hurt anyway.
    I guess people wont be satisfied until they just let every starter in the district be 1st Team.

    Wrong, wrong, wrong and still wrong. Three yards and a cloud of dust is garbage. You can NOT completely stop the teams in that District. Defense and ball control are not the way to go. Nobody with any sense will tell you that Southlake and Highland Park out athlete people. These are the type of kids on the Hill. Do NOT pigeon hole them because of the color of their skin or their academic abilities. This is the type of program where you can teach the kids highly intuitive concepts in the passing game and running game, be multiple and check plays at the line based on the fronts and coverage. You can take advantage of what the defense gives you because of the intelligence of the kids. Also, because of the financial advantage of the community, these kids will get the best individual coaching possible. If you commit to the passing game, you will have multiple kids with specialized training and receivers with great route running skills because the parents will seek out the extra coaching the high school staff can not give them because of UIL restrictions. Vision and progress, NOT turn back the clock to some OLD ways. Tried and failed.

    In this time in day, its about 3 things.... Money, facilities, and location.... Period............. If you do not have all 3, you will not stay on top.. LT is a prime example, came from never doing anything, to 5 in a row... Look at the location, the facilities, and we all know the money... Watch the finals on TV this year and listen to the announcers.. D1 kids going to SEC schools that have played for sometimes 3 high schools, tons of them play for at least 2... The good ole UIL has let it go to a point where its a miniature college scene. But back to BH.. BH is a great school, but have more issues with other things than devoting it all to sports.. My cousin was ran off from BH with the last regime.. Hes at King doing pretty well for himself running the offense.. BH has had good coaches before.. It takes more than that.. Crosby is in a good spot for the next 3 or so years, due to location, facilities and money, in that order.. Take the Mid County teams... Neauman coaches to get to the playoffs, as well as PN-G. Thats about as far as it goes.. Guess what, look at the location for 1... Then for Nederland look at facilities, then money... Yep, you guessed right, playoffs are about as good of a goal as your going to get.. PN-G same boat.. Location, is nothing better than horrible.. Now we have great Facilities, and money, but location is way less than desirable.. Dont get me wrong, these 2 get a few good athletes and every 4 or 5 years might get a few rounds, but its due to in house talent... PAM could win on a consistent basis, because they have tons of D1 kids every year.. But guess what they lack, money, facilities, and coaching... So it takes a certain SETUP to win.. Do not think for 1 second Katy lacks athletes... They have awesome facilities, a booster club that donates over half a million a year, and location is prime.... So in the nutshell do not fool yourself, because High School Football is BIG BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS..... If you do not believe me, Just ask Art Briles......

    We all get wrapped up in winning, no matter what school your at. BH needs someone to lead BH past teams like NC and KWP and get the 3rd or 4th spot. Anyone at BH that thinks we should be winning district championships every year is living in a fantasy world. It also depends on the district you play in. I compare BH to the likes of PNG, Ned, Vidor, KWP, NC, Lumberton in this area. With the right coach, I feel that BH can compete for atleast 3 or 4 most years. BH will never be a 3rd or 4th round contender. 5A is getting tougher every realignment. We do have athletes in other sports besides basketball that could contribute on the football field. Hopefully a new coach can come in and pull some of them to play football as well. Personally, I think the AD and head football coach should be two different positions. The reason being is the HC/AD alot of times don't like to play nice with other sports and therefor pisses of athletes that play other sports and they leave football. Some people may disagree with me on this, but it's my opinion. I feel that the hire that BH will announce will be a really good coach that will get BH back into contention.

    This. BH has won in the past without athletes. They were quite successful under Price, and they ran him out of the door. Take a look at what Evans did at East Chambers if you want to see the difference coaching can make. He didn't bring those athletes with him to EC, he developed them. Same story in Tatum. You guys talk like these kids are bred to play and coaching and sculpting has nothing to do with it. Crosby had athletes before Riordan....explain to me why they are one of the top teams in the state rather than the first or second round exits they used to experience. BH will never have the athletes that Crosby or Dayton has, so I guess they ought to get rid of the program, right? Wrong. There are guys who can develop those guys at BH and coach them up in such a way that they put Crosby and Dayton into dog fights each and every year. Evans is one of those guys.

    Going about this all wrong, in my humble opinion. They really need someone without a pedigree. Somebody that can come in with some innovative ideas and really connect with the kids. Somebody with the personality and charisma to play the political game in the community, but a coach with a passion for coaching and some new ideas to inspire these kids to think differently about the Offensive side of the ball.

    Just trying to figure out why all of the negativity towards Coach Stewart. In all of my dealings with the man, he has always been a straight shooter. He is obviously a great coach and motivator. Why speculate on why he is retiring. Does it really matter if he is retiring to go to Arkansas to take care of his mother, maybe he is getting a Head Coaching job in the great state of Razorbacks. Or, does it matter if he wanted to be the head coach at Dayton again and the Board said no? Or, does it really matter if he has decided to sail off into the sunset?
