Please send me the quote where anyone from or around the situation that said that Tarkington had the talent to win the state title in football? Won't be able to because nobody did. 
Just looking for a good man that can come in, get the kids excited about playing ALL sports because every ounce of talent is needed in all of them to be competitive. Then maybe that person can motivate them to use their spare time in the summer and such to put in the extra work. Try to grow some focus on preparing the younger kids for high school ball and for the ones that are already there, put in a system that gives them the best chance of winning some games. They have some athletic kids, just need to be pushed and taught the right way to go about their business. Nobody here is looking for state titles, we aren't mistaken, this isn't Argyle. We want to give our kids the ability to pursue sports in whatever capacity they want to, achieve as much as possible and then go out into the real world and be good people.  
You should maybe spend a little less time polishing your youth football trophy and a little more effort into learning how to have a real conversation.

New field will be over at the high school so there is plenty of parking. Livingston is set to have a beautiful facility once everything is finished. The field house and high school are extremely nice! 

She was actually the Girls Athletic Coordinator....... If that gives anybody a clue as to her real identity.

Used to be the Public Address Announcer. 

Better watch yourself around here mentioning anything good Howard did...the trolls will come out and start to cry foul! 
I'd reach back out to Stan because the guy is still invested there. He'd be willing to ride the time out and do what's right by kids...but I don't know anything. 

Some folks have known but I will make it public. My time as a full time administrator/broadcaster is up. I told my wife of 33 years that when she retired from teaching that I would retire with her to the beach. She retired last May and I told her I would finish out the football and basketball seasons of this year then I would join her. (would have joined her in May but needed to stay on after the passing of our beloved admin WOSGrad). I am so ready to be a beach bum.
I have enjoyed these past 17 years here on the site. I have seen it grow from just a little message board to now be considered a valuable media outlet. It truly has been a labor of love.
First of all, I want to thank Jordan Wilson, the owner of this site, by inviting me on as a staff member and eventually an administrator. He trusted me with the help of running this site and allowed me to "do my thang" and start my broadcast career. It has truly been a blessing. Thanks
I want to thank Todd Broussard (WOSGrad) who is looking down on us from heaven. He has been my partner in crime for all these years and is the reason this site is what it is today. He was the man!! I dearly miss my old friend and I hope that he is up there saying "job well done my friend". Thanks Todd for everything you did for me and this site.
I want to thank all the staff members here. Particularly Lucas, Mack, Robert, Terry, Matthew and all of the other staff. You have helped make this the place to be as for Southeast Texas sports.  Thanks for all the support over the years.
Thanks to all the coaches that I have come to know and work with all these years. Thank you for your support and cooperation and your acceptance of me and SETXsports. I am truly grateful.
Thanks to all the members here who really are what makes this site so great. I have become friends with several here and I cherish all the times we have spent on and off this site. God Bless all of you.
I wish all and this site the very best. I will still be around some but it will be mostly from my chair on the beach with my toes in the sand holding a cold one.
Thanks again to everyone and May God Bless.

I bet it's moot also......

All depends on who the AD is and what his priorities are.
Need to hire a football coach that is in it for the long haul, and willing to put in the work to develop a program and culture. Most people want instant success,  that is not going to happen in Tarkington. 
They had the right guy and ran him out of town. Then Bass came in and wasn't willing to stay the course and build a program.
Definitely takes a special person in places like Tarkington.

Don't mind the splitting either but that usually drops the pay for just HC only. It would take someone that is fully committed and involved to make Tarkington consistently competative. That is a hard ask when they can be an assistant coach 5 miles down the road for the same pay or more.

I feel the best about this hire than I have any other, ever.  Hopefully on the Gene Walkoviak level.  He already has two state track championships on his record at Manvel if I read correctly.  Not to mention a good record in the Football playoffs. There is going to be some new excitement in Bulldog land!

watch out !

if that is what you are looking for, I'm your huckleberry.
if/when Crumedy gets hired tonight (even though the young man has put his time into his education and proven to be a competent coordinator for about a decade).
I have not a problem if that were the only reason(last name) he was hired.  Ya, know why? 
He is a hometown guy, and by that fact people who know, taught, went to church or simply a friend with him can account for his character.  
Because humans both men and women lie.  Numbers when presented correctly never lie.  As I said earlier on this thread I will take a clean slate over the combined records of the other "finalist".  

Nah, I doubt it.  A job is what you make of it.  Apparently, that’s the rumor that’s been put into everyone’s ear….  That the BU job is bottom tier.  But the fact of the matter is that coaches in BISD has access to pretty good resources and have access to some fine athletes as well.  And the pay is on par with pay from multi HS districts (no AD title).  But folks know this coming in the door, but it ends up being a problem later.  🤷🏾‍♂️ 
 
At the end of the day, I’m glad ok dude is gone and it’s done early.  Plenty of time to get someone in so he can hire a staff, all before spring football…

Hate to say this, But Toby has a chance here lol

Yes Sir

His offense and Bronson's defense would be a formidable combo. I don't think it would come together right away, but you never know. 

That's also what I'm hearing from some of my sources. It is his if the $$$ is right!! Don't know what his salary is now but to come home and take over the program that you once played from and to possibly take Jasper back to being a top team!! Would be a pretty awesome accomplishment!!!

Hearing Crumedy is the man, for what it's worth.

It is impossible to win in places like Tarkington unless you bring in a coach that is willing to stay for the long term.
Theses places are not plug an play situations.
A coach needs to be given time to establish a program, with expectations and trust, and develop his players his way.

You are so delusional and unrealistic, it’s damn near impossible to have a conversation with you.   
 
Only 1 team in a division wins it every year.   At the start of the year, each division has around 5-8 teams that have a realistic chance.
 
Sometimes making the 3rd round, or state quarterfinals with the talent you are coaching is in itself a great feat.
 
if you think any coach is gonna go to PNG, and beat the current talent Crosby has had, or a program like Aledo, you don’t know the game of football.
 
Dodge didn’t win state at Marble Falls, or Cameron Yoe.   Didn’t even get close.   Why is that?
 
Surratt isn’t going to Hamshire-Fannett and going to win state, why is that?
 
When I go to watch a high school football game, I usually try to stand along a fence by the track to avoid ppl like you in the stands. Don’t have a clue, but boy, you have all the answers from row 32, seat C.

Has the school board decided what offense they’re going to run this upcoming season? 

99% Correct.. Chuck is a great man and perfect for this job. I agree with everything stated except the statement in bold. From what I'm hearing its his to turn down.. but again.. JMO

I’m sure there referring to Chuck Langston. When they mention multiple levels I’m sure it’s him and not JDC. Chuck lived in PN for a good while and even worked for Faircloth for a small time frame. He is very respected here as a person and a coach. I always thought Faircloth would take a better job and had hoped we could get Langston here. This isn’t how I wanted to go down but I hope he puts in for the job. I think people need to realize he has always had Faircloth’s back and   wouldn’t do anything behind the scenes to hurt him or his family. He’s been fired and for a coach and especially his family it’s tough. I don’t think any board member has chuck as there guy. I hope he does apply and all the toxic bs doesn’t deter him but I’m not sure he will. We couldn’t get a better guy to run our athletic program and mentor our boys. He’s doing a great job at west brook and they love him there. Whoever gets the job I’ll support like just like I’ve supported png since I moved here. I would love it to be Chuck but if not best man for the job. CT
