They should:

• Support their child's coach
• Take their kid to camps
• Give him/her chores and responsibilites at home
• Visit with all of their child's teachers and coaches at the  start of the year and throughout the year
• Make sure that he/she completes his/her homework
• Don't allow him/her to quit a sport once they start it
• Set realistic academice and athletice expectations for your child
• Combine love and discipline to influence their children

Whoever the  head football coach thinks can direct/lead his program most effectively.

I don't know the circumstances, but I wish Coach Barbary well  no matter what   the outcome is. However, being  an athletic director is much more than building a football program.  It is also important to build  relationships and treat people with dignity and respect. This why I am a strong proponent of the   AD position  being  a position of 'NEUTRALITY"  which means no head  coach should be in this position.

Congrats, well deserved!

Smart move, building the confidence of the kids is important. Some of the schedule, non-district games, is something the coach can control and he's taken full advantage of it; smart coaching!!!

Given his tenure and commitment to Kountze they should reciprocate such loyalty and commitment to him. You can't justify continuing to pass him up. He has earned and deserves the opportunity to lead this program from the highest athletic office, AD.

Name teams in the area in which the football coach is the AD they never win on a consistent basis:

 

Hemphill

Warren

Kountze

H-F

Woodville

 

The argument of having the AD be the head football coach to produce a winner lacks validity. Is the baseball and basketball coach not capable of leading a SPORTS PROGRAM to success?

I might be country, but I am not stupid. Clear sign they want the head football coach to leave now. If you're buying what the supt. said, I have a used car to sale you.

Why does the football coach has to be the AD? What makes him more qualified than the volleyball, cross country, basketball, soccer, or baseball coach? Oh, I forgot, this is the way it has always been done.

Yes, you can win if the talent is there, but you can achieve unbelievable things when everyone is on the same page. If the talent is average or nearly equal to the opponent, coaching can be the difference. A players belief in his coach(es) derives from his communication skills, practice and game organization, evaluation and adaption to player skill sets, his self-discipline and his abillity to hold everyone associated with the program equally accountable for TEAM success. A coach who operates with his ego will abandon the one thing he needs most, his players.

Jasper’s Terrell Cuney

By Randy Riggs

American-Statesman Staff


Terrell Cuney decided Saturday there was no time like the present to become the Texas Longhorns’ newest member of their 2014 football recruiting class.

In doing so, the Jasper product gives the Longhorns the nation’s top-ranked center in 2014 according to 247Sports.

Later Saturday, an even younger prospect also decided the time was now to cast his lot with Texas. Jalen Campbell, a cornerback from Corpus Christi Flour Bluff, pledged to become the Longhorns’ third commitment for 2015.

Cuney had held an offer from Texas since its second junior day on Feb. 23. In town Saturday to watch the Orange-White scrimmage as well as the final day of the Texas Relays, he decided to make official what he knew was inevitable.

“I just said, ‘It’s time.’ It was really that simple,” said the 6-foot, 3-inch, 258-pound Cuney. “I grew up like Texas. I’ve always liked them. I just felt like it was time for me to go ahead and (commit).

“I feel relieved,” added Cuney, who said he visited no other programs after Texas’ junior day. “I pretty much knew what I was going to do. Now I can just move on and know where I’m going to go to college. Now I can’t wait to get here.”

Cuney becomes the ninth prospect to give Texas a non-binding verbal pledge for 2014. He’s the second offensive lineman in the class, joining guard Demetrius Knox of All Saints Episcopal School in Fort Worth.

Cuney, ranked 29th on the 2014 American-Statesman Fabulous 55 as compiled by Hookem.com, the paper’s Internet partner, said he gave his pledge in coach Mack Brown’s office to Brown and several assistant coaches including offensive line coach Stacy Searels.

“They were excited,” Cuney said. “I think they kind of knew what I was going to do, but now it’s official.”

Now that he’s committed, Cuney said he knows what his priorities are.

“I just want to get bigger, stronger and faster so I can come in and play,” he said.

Campbell, listed at 5-9½ and 166 pounds, joins offensive guard Aaron Garza of Sherman and defensive tackle Bryce English of DeSoto as Texas pledges for 2015.

I went to college with Coach King, worked with he and Coach Sodek at camps and all-star games and I can tell you that  these two men a very fine individuals, not just coaches. I have been off the site for a few days, but this dialogue about Triple A is abslolutely disgusting.  This is a UIL problem, and for those of you not watching, it is going to get worse as the push to have more charter school is on the rise.

One of the fallacies with technology is that people get to rant and throw people under the bus without knowing them; this post is a great injustice to the men who lead Mumford's athletic program.

SB 573 (Patrick) would require the UIL to allow private and parochial schools and their students to become members of the league for all league activities other than football and basketball. SB 573 was passed and will be eligible for the general calendar.

Society has become so self-centered that many people fail to see how their own actions affect others. Self-gratification has replaced TEAM.  While I do understand that coming from a single parent household is difficult, it is no excuse for not doing the right thing; circumstances are what they are, but it is not necessary for them to make you who you are.  I speak from experience and I do know that a single mother can teach you to follow the rules, respect people, give back and remain humble, that's what my mother taught us.

These post has given Kountze something they didn't need, extra motivation. Kountze will play their best game of the season and dominate Newton with a 102 - 56 win.

Wow, I thought Jasper would be loaded this year and for the next few years to come.
