[quote name="Craig S" post="1413773" timestamp="1371483512"] I just looked up some numbers. less than 3% of HS athletes play at the college level...and less than .25% go pro....a terrible investment by any other standard. [/quote] Well if that's what we're going to base this argument on... I just looked up some numbers too.  Only 23% of jobs in the country actually require a college degree.  Want to talk about terrible investments?..  What is the percentage of kids that will go pro in History or English Language Arts?  What about the number of kids that will be a "professional" using Algebra?  I mean if we're going to discuss investing in stuff, then we need to get rid of sports altogether (because there is only a .25% of actually making money in sports).  We need to take 1 out of every 4 students and put them through college readiness classes, and take the other 3 and put them through vocational and job skills classes.  That will also save us some money that we waste on core teachers...since they won't go pro. Also, how much money is being wasted on all these tests?  Lets get rid of all of it.  I mean, since it has no bearing on getting into college.  All you have to do is make good grades at a JC then transfer.  Come to think of it....we need to just make a list of all these wasted investments and petition to the state to get it taken care of.

Josh Mitchell was the assistant boys coach at Hardin the 1st couple of years Haynes was there.  Assistant to a team that would have no doubt beaten Lumberton in basketball...  They split with both Kountze and EC who ended up in regional tourney.  2nd... ALL athletic directors hire people that have worked under them before.  They're familiar with what the A.D. wants.  It's not "good ' ole boy".. it's just how things are done.
