The news often sensationalizes things. Parents often overreact to things. I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle. 

oh waaa!

If they put Nacoroaches in 22-5a I will have a few choice words for the UIL. 

Signing Bonus...
School Vehicle...
Gas Card...
Jobs for wife, son, and daughter...
Wow! Anyone else seen or heard any of the details of this contract? 

If he wins a state championship they will build him whatever he asks for.

I can see him winning and stay for as long as he wants. He will be a Administrator Head Coach. He will surround himself with great coaches and let them do their jobs. His son will run the offense and he will have the best defensive coordinator he can find. No reason to leave after 3 or 4 successful years. If he so desires, I'm sure they will make him AD only on the Hill and his son will take the reigns.

Nobody can argue that the $$$$ was THE factor in him taking the job. It is financial security for him and his family for the rest of his life, who can blame a man for that?
But, I guarantee you he sees it as an opportunity to do something special in a place that requires great coaching. Allen has become the place where just about any coach can win. BH is not that place. It is a challenge and an opportunity to win where many people don't think you can win. As coaches we are always looking for that chance to prove that coaching does matter. And at what better place than BH to prove than you can win with coaching, because you sure don't have the best athletes in the state. 

Yes, this much is true.  However, there is injustice all around which you or the collective whole can do nothing about and this is one of those issues.  At some point, one must move on or continue to wallow in the aftermath.  Moving on allows for growth, understanding, and a hope for other changes based on lessons learned.  Staying behind and living in the past leaves you behind, unable to experience new  and perhaps better alternatives and a positive growth.  I'm not saying what happened to Price was unjust because I wasn't in that boardroom.  I'm just saying that NOTHING can be done about that now and  as unjust as it may have been for him, it is equally unjust for the new Coach  for people to keep rehashing what coulda, woulda, shoulda with regards to the old, and it's not fair for the players coming up keep hearing how they may have gotten shafted for not having the opportunity to play for Price.  As Yoda might have said, "Change embrace you must, or backside of future must you see!
Congrats to Coach Tom and let's work on moving this program forward!

Wow big congrats to BH may not be the chump in the district anymore... BIG BIG Congrats you deserve this...

Good gravy...Price was 2 coaches ago!  Let it go!!

That last comment has been the key to their "issues" for quite some time now but those two also have some maturity issues as well. Seen it too much on the court.

Usually in these situations, the parents are a major part of the problem.

****DATE CHANGE****
 
The Dayton All-Sports Athletic Booster Club will have its inaugural meeting at Dayton High School Cafeteria on Monday, February 8, 2016, at 6:30 p.m. This meeting will be used to set up the new booster club organizational framework and fundraising for the spring. All interested parents and community members are invited to attend. Any questions or community members wishing to help are welcome to contact Coach Davis at the high school or by email [email protected]. Thanks!  

I am a realist.  I know we will not win a State Title coming out of Baytown. Can we have winning seasons yes. Can we send kids to college yes.  Do we have the talent to keep games close and pull off upsets here and there. yes.
I just want these kids to play hard and have a staff on the sideline that looks like they want to be there. Team and promote these boys.  

The real question is, how many coaches will be willing to move from Allen to the Hill?
I'm guessing, not very many. He will have to do a great job of recruiting to assemble a quality staff.
That will be the key to his success.

Thats always a big plus... 

He came with Coach Boyd from Killeen.  Has been the OC and Head Track Coach at GCM. I do not believe he has HC experience in football.
Really a great guy. Players at GCM like him. They will work hard for him. 
 
 

Screen shot 

I'll put the VHS tape of Roseanne Barr singing the National Anthem back into the safe. ; )

That would be appreciated.

Just my opinion.

Congrats BH Eagle's I said it in a post last year that probably within the next 5 years y'alls program would grow and get better it did just hiring this coach. I hope we can get a great coach back in Dayton also. 

I don't think GCM will come close to the BH hire, I mean who would it have to be to have that wow factor we got yesterday?

This goes back to a few topics about why one area is ahead of southeast Texas in football.  My personal opinion is money and facilities then enrollment.  Landing this guy from one of the national power houses says a lot for the area.  He comes in and gets a few move ins, then starts winning, other school districts may take note and start improving facilities, pay,  etc.  I think it's great for football here in the area and hopefully it starts a trend.  Congrats to the Hill for catching a big fish.

Lee and Galena Park might end up elswhere. D23 5A has FB Bush and FB Ridge Point moving up, and Texas City is unknown whether it takes in La Marque or they stay separate in same school district. If they absorb La Marque into Texas City HS, then they will go 6A.  I could see Baytown Lee and Galena Park getting screwed and going there. Also D24 is losing George Ranch and makes that a 5 team district. Shuffling may affect other districts.
