rumor is that williams, flannigan and a unknown coach from dallas area were called back for second interview on Tuesday. Those three are front runners. its hard to get info because they got this on lock down lol

Thanks my man. I like Flanigan for the job. He coached my little brother at crosby, always said he was a hard worker and good dude, and hes had success at a few spots already. West Brook hasn't been ideal, but I dont know if i'd blame him for that.

I guess Lee's coach has been in education less than 5 years because he started at $80k, I don't know their raise structure though so who knows what he makes now. When Sedberry was at Lee he applied for the Central job so I would imagine it was a raise for him to leave GCCISD and go to Central at the time. If it is Flannigan it would make sense because he's been a coach for a long time and could probably negotiate a higher salary. I know BISD started Foreman and Suggs around $80k so if Flannigan isn't making much more than that it's understandable for him to apply for a potential raise closer to home.

Westbrook isn't in a far easier district either. North Shore and Atascosita are tough and will finish 1-2, but the rest of the district is mediocre to sub-par for the 6A level. Westbrook, The Woodlands, Lufkin and Montgomery are pretty solid for the top half of a 6A district.  

I just hopped on google and found a list of every 5A-3A head coach in the state from 2011. Now lets all agree they probably pay more now than 6 years ago. The lowest paid head coach in GCCISD in 2011 made 88,900. the highest was at 94k. So even 6 years ago it was a considerable raise from BISD. Now Who is getting the current job thats open, any word on a front runner or who even applied. Why is it so hard to get info.

No way Jose, GCCISD is one of the highest paying jobs in the area and has been since the 80's. The teachers pay is way way higher according to the websites' salary schedules and the lowest paid head coach in the district is making 98k. So is there a list that will tell us which Beaumont coach it is, Haynes or Flanigan.

Man thats what I was saying this job is like a CIA blacksite or Zero Dark Thirty. Surely they mean Flanigan when they say Beaumont coach huh? I never even thought of Coach Haynes, I figured either it would be Flanigan or Toby. Sure would be nice to know for sure.........

Aw well thats no fun, come on we wont tell noooooooobody

Which Beaumont Coach? Not Toby huh? I figured after Woodville he'd be taking it easy with applying for awhile.

I agree, I hear the coaches still there have been strong at the middle schools and keeping the culture upbeat. I was mainly wanting to see who all applied, but I cant find a list anywhere. It's like the job information has been blacklisted.

Who even applied I couldn't even find that.

Man this may be the job to go get. You've had some kind of "situation" that led to a Head Coach being reassigned, and now they have already interviewed and I cant find any info on it. They pay good, and apparently no one will be all up in your crawl because no one is even talking about it. 

And go slide into a school in McKinney, they are hurting for funds in the classroom, the campuses are immaculate, every kid and teacher has access to iPads and in class technology. Trust me they arent taking school funds to build a stadium, the people are offering as a community to use their own money to raise the funds for a Complex. They just put more of an emphasis on every thing that has to do with education in the Dallas Fort worth area. With the exception of Barbers Hill and Goose Creek, not one school in SETX can even come close to compete with starting base teacher pay, coaching pay, etc. etc. etc. They spend the money to attract professionals who will help their students achieve, and make them not want to leave because they are in a professional environment that compensates them for the work they do.

I think the sheer numbers are what makes people scratch their heads some. The actual economics of it for a city the size of McKinney aren't bad at all. Still a huge number for academics to come to terms with when you think of what that could provide for regular students. I think there are 3 or 4 more ISD's that could build/are building stadiums like this pretty soon if they so chose. Most interesting part of it is the stadium is estimated to cost $300k more than Katy's, probably just to say they have the most expensive stadium in the state.

Yeah but that money is from a bond voted on by the people in the community. They elected to raise their taxes for the specific purpose of paying for the stadium in their community. Not one dime of state funded money will go to that stadium or be taken from academic money. The citizens are electing to privately raise the funds within their community.

No way man. I wish it was in Dallas every year. It's just better there. It's the best football venue out there, it runs off smoother has more attendance a better atmosphere etc etc etc 

Only watched Jack Dallas on TV i think hes just so fun and has the name

I will say this I watched him in the Silsbee scrimmage against Central, who had better athletes and he balled out. I also went and watched him live at the Silsbee Jasper game when he went absolutely nuts. I lean towards Jack Dallas because of the hype and the name and the ring but the more I think about the video game numbers it's hard to say no. Plus Jasper had some DUDES on D and couldn't even touch him and Central had some DUDES on D that couldnt touch him.

All the QB talk is really neck and neck either kid is deserving, I gotta go with JACK DALLAS. On defense though there is no doubt Innis Gaines is the BEST defensive player in SETX. Played free safety led the only 6A district in Tackles, TFL, INT's, and Def TDs. According to the article he had 130+ Tackles and 56 TFL as a Free Safety and ball hawked the passing game. He dominated every inch of the field, from -3 in the backfield to 50 yards downfield he stopped everything offenses tried to do. Props to the West Orange LB but the Gaines kid is unreal, cant wait to watch him next season on saturdays. Personally never saw West orange kid except the state championship, his team Defense stood out but he didnt individually. Gaines jumped out of the 3 games I went to and his stats are godly.

IMO there is no REAL clear cut guy  couple of good Qbs, many good Rbs on the Oside

Defense - cant think of a Tony Brown type stand out this year.  The soph db from WOS is strong

Seniors only right?

There was a defensive standout. Innis Gaines Safety at West Brook. Led a Stout defense in tackles had like 5-6 picks took 3 of them to the house (one against state champion North Shore) blocked two kicks and a punt block. Took a missed FG 100+ yds against Ozen and led the team in tackles. Had 23 Tackles 4 TFL 4 PBUs 1 INT 1 FF  against PA, dominated the game against Deer Park with like 18 Tackles also according to the teams website. And the 6 A Defensive MVP in a district with North Shore who won state by shutting out every one with Defense in the playoffs and had 2 kids committed to LSU on the squad. Those coaches who coached the LSU commits still voted to make Gaines the Defensive MVP. I'd say that stands out way more than Tony Brown was. Brown had games without even making tackles or breaking up passes playing 5A ball, and was Tony Brown even Defensive MVP in that district b/c I think it was the DL kid from Nederland that year. Not to mention Rose WR kid at PNG balled on Tony his Senior Year. The Gaines kid balled out and dominated every game played in a tough ass 6A district.

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL thats really funny, and accurate sorta. You guys have your moments.

Who is LaneKiffinChipKelly?

Manvel and Katy are D2 homey. If West Brook wants to win a playoff game their only hope is going D1.

:D

Another one but for the life of me I cant remember his name. The RB that took Coldspring to the title game, I watched him live his senior year against West Orange at Turner and he made West Orange look Slow '11 playoffs I believe.

Also Beasley at West Orange. In high school people weren't talking about Earl, They were talking about Beasley I watched them rout someone in the playoffs that year he was on another level than anyone else on the field, and super bowl champ all pro Earl Thomas was on the field also.

Ok, I know alot of you guys may say I'm crazy but a guy I played with at Crosby in 03, Philip Beck. Had 124 catches 2000+ yds and 22 TDs in 12 games at the 5A level and had 200+Yds Rec against the state champs Lamarque that year. No one can match that production, our QB Kellen Haynes also threw for 4,200 yds and 40 Tds ran for 800 and 12 TDs in 12 games that year also. Not the big time recruits that the other guys were or physical specimens but they put up massive numbers and we played friendswood, dickinson, Dayton, CE King, and Lamarque and nobody stopped those two guys. I think you have to throw Beck on the list though 180 Yds per game for a whole season, can't deny production. Also on the Tony Brown deal he had a big pick against PNG but Rose torched him THE WHOLE GAME I was there cause my cousin played for Ozen that year, did have the pick 6 but rose balled out on him.

Hopefully Crosby will have a go at it this year. 

Hardin people don't know who their record holding HS Qb was? Some data indicates he was Hardin's starting QB from 1974-1976 and has most All the school passing records until Nolan/Taylor in the late 2000's. I found some things on-line saying he won more games as a starter than anyone in school history. Not sure what's true. Everybody knows Larry is a QB developing machine though.

Yeah that sounds right, cause he coached the other two that beat his records. He's also the winningest coach and has the only two Bi District Championships in the schools 60+ year history, to go along with playing there so yeah He's about as big a Hardin guy as you can get. He also upgraded their facilities to some of the best 3A facilities in the state just like he did when i played for him at crosby. The guy completely changes programs usually overnight, started 20-0 when he went to haltom after a 9 year playoff drought brand new top notch stadium and facilities built, went 14-6 in his first 2 seasons w/ playoff win at crosby after we were 1-9 back to back then top notch stadium and facilities built, then at Hardin ZERO playoff wins in school history and 1-9 the season prior he goes 8-2 season 1 w/ bi district champ 6-4 season 2 w/ bi district champ then top notch stadium and facilities built.
