I stil like WOS for the third spot,they have a good young coach and a wealth of athletes but by even having this topic you can tell HF is turning their program in the right direction.

Coach Brooks did a good job last year when Travis had the health issues and is a natural fit.No disrespect to either of the coaches from Leggett or Spurger but Silsbee would be a huge step. [/quote]   Well Whsalum what about Lester King would it be a huge step for him.-----------NO NO [/quote]Don'tget me wrong CATMAN I didn't say the Leggett or Spurger coach wouldn't be successful,I said it would be a huge step and it would.Coack King's record speaks for itself but the surroundings would be entirely different at the Tiger Den than they are at Goodrich.If I were going to look strictly at small school guys (which I wouldn't just look at small school guys)I wouldn't overlook the man at Evadale,he did a pretty good job last year.All that being said I think the guy that deserves the Silsbee job is already there.

[quote name="nwbulldogfan" post="1025448" timestamp="1310868371"] We had the same situation in NW last year with our basketball coach. Another great guy and was very successful like yours. The community stood behind him as Kountze should stand behind Coach Joubert. Football it seems overrides loyalty, respect, success, dedication, and just plain doing the right thing. These adminstrators and school boards have ther own agenda and don't care who they hurt in the process. The kids are the farthest thing from the equation, it's what they want. I can't understand how you can lose one of the most successful coaches in the state for the sake of giving a mediocre football coach some extra money. athletic Director is an administrative position anyone should be eligible for it, to me that is discrimination saying it has to be the football coach. They come in stay a couple years and try to get the bigger job, they always do. [/quote]Can I get an AMEN !!!!!

Duane knows how to get the kids attention and gets them to buy in to his style.I think he would be a great fit at the AD.He probably knows more fooyball than any of the recent hires they have made.

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="1023784" timestamp="1310402319"] Lamar PA had its best season when he was an assistant for one year,  The recruits that he attracted have put a great stamp on an up and coming program.  The Head coach left and Lamar PA did notwant to guarentee him a contract so he did not get fired.  He was laid off with pay at the last private school position, which is not fired.  Wilmer Hutchingson was a strange issue at most.  They were winning at a new school before he walked his team off the court.  He has an opinion of what happenned and so does the school board.  He left Prarie Veiw to pursue head coaching on a high school level.  The Wnnie job was releavd of duties issue.  So I count relieved twice!  ;D [/quote]Come on ABSENT his one year as an assistant at Lamar Pt Arthur they were 2-17 I believe in conference and were 9-19 on the year.They brouhgt in the young guy that is there now and one 20 games the next season.

I fiGured Tremain would be the next head guy in Kountze and he may well be but they would do well to make Duane the AD.He is very familiar with all the sports and would bring a level of discipline they haven't had in some time.

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="1022782" timestamp="1310044586"] I know many of you dont like the guy but he has had success as far as winning at every program he has been apart of (as an assistant and a head coach)! The guys only issues is that I don't think he was ready for the politics of being a head coach and he did not know how to stay still. Other than that he is neither a bad guy nor a public travesty! [/quote]I personally don't have a dog in the fight however there is one small error in this statement.He was an assistant on the staff at Lamar Pt Arthur and was far from being in a winning program there.Every other position I had heard him mentioned in recently he left before he coached a game.I agree about the second chances but I'm not sure he would be the most qualified choice.

TASO usually starts their training sessions one night a week in August.They last a couple of months and will welcome the help I'm sure.They usually post the info on their web site.

Paul will be going, but I know in the heck it will not be in New Orleans... [/quote]I knew it wasn't gonna happen just syaing he has stuck with a team his entire career and carried them to a couple of finals.I admire that more than going the Yankees route and just spending your way to a title.

[/quote]Sometimes your talented , been recruited by major D1 schools but end up with an injury with senior year. Guess what? The schools stop calling. Your options? JUCOs. Other options, you have 5th year seniors taking the prep school route too. Not grades all the time  the reason you take JUCO route. ;) [/quote]Didn't mean to imply that grades were the only reason, just the talent level shouldn't be overlooked because of the JUCO title.Most of these kids can play.

He is responsible for the recruits, no doubt, but the young guys beat the recruiting trail a lil better.Not sure who the ties were but I remember 10/12 years ago alot of recruits coming from the Northeast.Can't blame Gilligan for slowing down on the travel trail it's just not as much fun when you get a lil older.

Gilligan didn't forget how to Coach folks.Baseball is one game where knowledge is learned and retained.The problem with LU baseball recently has been in their recruiting.That's where the young blood has gotta step up, we have some good local players but not the caliber that will consistantly get you to the super regionals.

Lots of talent in PA but it's not one of the premiere jobs in the state.Coach Henderson is a good basketball guy as was Coach Green.You gotta look past the coach's seat to see why this program has struggled .

Now I won't argue that point, way too many of these kids don't have either parent at the games.

Unfortunately this is partly the result of the me-me-me attitude of AAU basketball.Most of these kids haven't got a clue about the team concept of basketball so they take these calls as a personal attack.The first lesson this kid needs to learn is respect for authority, the second is the game is not about individuals, it's about TEAM.

Congrats guys on a good season.The near future on the diamond looks pretty good for the Warriors.

Congrats to a good young man from a very good basketball family.
