2wedge, while I share your hope, given the dealings of Dr. Gerald Hudson so far in this saga, I can't share your optimism. I have no doubt that Coach Barbay will do everything in his power to quell these "concerns" that Dr. Hudson has about his work as an AD. Because you are right, he has SEVERAL real reasons to remain in Jasper, ranging from his family in Newton, to his girls, to his wife, who I understand also has significant ties to the Jasper community. While all of us, in and outside of Jasper, acknowledge that, at this point it seems to matter little, if any, to Hudson. And, yes, I am quite concerned that no matter what steps and what concessions Barbay makes, Hudson and whatever powers that may be driving this will deem it inadequate to relieve these mysterious and, as of yet, unsubstantiated concerns. If I am wrong, and I hope that I am, good. But I can't count on that being the case.

It certainly can't be discounted that Hudson is fulfilling the will of either the board of trustees or other forces in Jasper. And you being in the Jasper area probably know more of those goings on. It is just that at this point, the only person in the situation (that we know of anyway) who has set out written evidence of a decision and has yet publicly denied that decision is Hudson.

Sorry, I meant to put Friday at 6. I am just in the habit of doing broadcast thread the same day as the contest, hence me using "tonight" when I put the thread up last night.

Yes and no. What I mean by that is that popular and/or successful coaches are dismissed. An example close to Coach Barbay happened in Coldspring a few years back when his brother Bryan, was removed as head coach/AD even though he had the Trojans deep into the playoffs yearly (usually with one of the smaller student populations in the Class). What certainly separates this from those is, as Coach Huddleston has noted, the public proclamations of Dr. Hudson which appear belied by his private statements and communications. In fact, there appears to be a trend developing in which Dr. Hudson goes public with denials that Coach Barbay is being dismissed only when facing vocal opposition from the students or public of the Jasper ISD. This is chronicled pretty well in the latest KJAS.com article: [Hidden Content] On Monday, on the heels of a student walkout to protest Barbay's dismissal on Friday according to a BEVY of reliable sources, Hudson takes to the airwaves of KJAS to denounce the news of Barbay's dismissal as the rumor mill gone wild and states categorically that Coach Barbay is still the AD/HC for Jasper ISD. As the tide of opposition receeds as the Enterprise and other media dismiss the news as unfounded rumor, Hudson, feeling that the wolves have left the door, fires off an e-mail to Board President Lequin Hildebrandt that he does indeed plan to remove Barbay as HC/AD at Jasper and that March 20th would be his last day. I suspect that Hudson never intended the contents of that e-mail to be made public. This, of course, brought the media back to the doors of the Jasper ISD, none to happy that they are now having to report Barbay's apparent dismissal just one day after assuring the listening and reading public that word of his dismissal is unfounded rumor. Also back at the door of the Jasper ISD is a very angry public who is now real upset as spoken word has now been matched with written one. And folks organize a rally at the Jasper ISD administration building which was scheduled to take place this morning. With the wolves, back at the door, Hudson feels compelled to fired off this omnibus memo which he states his intention to "negotiate" with Coach Barbay about a long term commitment. This satisfies the wolves, who cancel the rally. Many have taken Hudson's latest statement that Coach Barbay will remain. I take it as setting the stage for Hudson being able to carry through the intentions he noted in his e-mail to Hildebrandt and, even more sinister, being able to lay that action at the feet of the vanquished Coach Barbay. This ain't done yet, folks. It is far from it.
