Oldschool you're probably right as well...I looked at the Colmesneil football schedule and it is a staff of 4 (head coach and 3 assistants) that is only 2 more coaches than the Chester 6 man team had last year if I am not mistaken. And I agree Colmesneil will not pay what it takes to get a good football coach in there. They seem to be a district that likes to spend as little as possible.
Part of the problem is that several area schools are doing things the way they did several decades ago. Including staff size, budget, and payroll. There are too many schools across the state that have simply adapted and updated. Schools like Colmesniel can't compete. Unless changes are made.
But schools have to lose the attitude "that's how we did it when I was in school" -
Leave him alone

Colmesniel will never get a good football coach because they're not willing to pay what it costs to bring one in. Even if they did that they won't leave home alone and give the guy what he wants. (Mainly a decent sized staff)

*****ISSUES*****
Coach Franklin was hired by a Baseball Board? Man...please! First of all the job Coach Franklin given was discussed with Coach Joubert and he declined the Head Football end of the Job! So that pretty well spits in your punch on that point...Baseball Heavy that's a dang knee slapped!
Second, Tracy was equally if not more importantly brought here because of his administrative capabilities...(he did act as asst. dean of displine at the high school as well on top of Coaching and AD duties...just Football or Baseball oh FYI HE coached our girls Basketball program to the playoffs as well! As a matter of fact under Coach Franklin Kountze made a lot of athletic strides outside of Football
The school Has enjoyed nice success in dang near every sport for the two years he was the man...so there is another big hauker in you Koolaid!
Now for the record I am glad Coach Joubert took the job because he is a more experienced football guy and the kids needed a more seamless transfer of the reins, plus he will pick and has picked up the program and is moving it forward, but on the heals of a lot of hard work by Coach Franklin to get it off the ground.
Oh and this past year he was head baseball and did not even pay himself!
****Old School...I don't know ya and really don't care about your opinion and I'm sure u don't care about mine...but my statement above is not opinion it's facts and before you make anymore ignorant (because you don't know any better) and lay dispersions on anyone else, please show them the God given respect u would want shown to you...God Bless and have a great day!
I don't know what I was thinking. Small school board members don't make decisions based on personal agenda. I must be an idiot to even think such a thing.
Kountze had success in multiple sports? Baseball district champs, football playoffs (*4th place), girls bball playoff, boys bball district champs, what am I missing?.. Doesn't matter. Well since there was so much success...because it sounds to me that none of that happened before...let's build a statue of the guy. Hey..pass a bond. I'd vote for it if I lived there.
As far as me showing respect..I do expect people to be truthful with me. If my honesty is "respect" to you I really don't care. I don't believe in sugar coating.
Best of luck Coach Joubert. -
-
so how has Joubert done as a head football coach ?
Good point. But in my opinion he would have been a better fit based on playing experience. College and professional. I know good player doesn't mean good coach...but he didn't even play bball past high school. And he's done pretty well. Plus...being a young, energetic coach would suit those Kountze kids. -
haha your funny he coached football his whole life as well
I understand that. What does his head football experience look like? On his resume. That's my point.
Kountze hired a baseball coach to coach football. Who happened to be successful at baseball . And happened to have a son that's a good baseball player. By a school board that happened to have several board members with kids that play baseball. -
he has proved himself as a coach period that's what I'm saying.
Oh ok. You're right.
Well maybe if Joubert decides he wants to stick with football, he could bring Coach Franklin back to coach basketball.
I mean if he's a proven coach...good coaches can be successful at any sport. Right? -
he has been a very successful baseball coach for the last ten years making 8 trips to the playoffs and 6 district championships, but he was hired because he is a very successful coach at anything he coaches because he knows how to relate to players as well as getting players to play hard for him
Now wait a minute..he was hired because he was a success baseball coach? He was hired to be AD/head football....in Texas...because he is a good baseball coach?
When Joubert was announced as football coach all that was said was how dumb it was to make a basketball coach head of football. Even tho he is a more successful COACH than Franklyn will ever be.
For the record...schools like Tatum would only hire proven FOOTBALL coaches to be head football. -
2 things.
1) not taking a jab at Coach Franklyn. But to say baseball didn't have anything to do with his hire...is rediculous. Oh wait..it's because if all of football success he had at CHESTER.
2) Kountze only had 1 coach leave?.. May want to check your sources. Remember...I have a few very close friends in the coaching community. I was told on very good authority Joubert was at coaching school scrambling to fill spots. Only 2 kind of coaches that still don't have jobs that late in the summer. 1st year guys, or terrible coaches. So yeah...even if filled...might as well not be. -
Heaven forbid someone be honest.
"Yay we made playoffs!" I all I said was hey...didn't they go 6-5? And get 4th place...again?
"Coach Franklyn is a hero!" hey...he hadn't done anything different. Besides..I have several friends that coach. Only reason he was hired is because his son is a pitcher...and the board is baseball heavy.
You want something positive... Coach Joubert being named AD/head fball was best decision KHS has made in a while, and it should've been done years ago. It's just unfortunate it was done when 40 kids came out and he has a coaching shortage. It was uphill from the start.
Don't like my opinion...cry me a river. -
Wow... I think I'm gonna start posting on the volleyball and softball forums.
I think there's less whining. -
EC should have enough speed to stop the HF QB. I say bucs win.
-
Well I would predict a score...but I don't want to be accused of being negative. Apparently everything I put on here is negative.
My prediction will be on my pickems for the week if you want to see it. -
I called this one. I think Buna was so excited to drop a classification they're gonna have quite a year.
I think they may even finish top 2 in their district. -
You know it is possible that Silsbee just isn't very good.
-
Kountze with 6 or 7 turnovers. To many to beat a good team like Shepard
That's what happens to teams that get tired. Teams that don't have many players get tired. -
HD vs WS will be a dog fight! Hemphill has a team!
You said that very thing about Warren...who lost to Deweyville tonight. Which might be their only win of the season. -
You probably haven't seen me post anything positive about anybody. So keep that in mind before your feelings get hurt.
No matter what I post tho...I seem to be consistently pretty accurate. -
You won't want to read this...but there is a chance Kountze starts this year off 0-5. Pretty tough games ahead.
-
Good decision for taking a job in a better school district and more money?? Get outta here with that man
It was a joke. Some people... -
Pirates win 25-16
Well well well... Good job DV.
Good decision Coach Babin. -
You know....I said something a while back about the fact that Kountze only had less than 50 kids playing football. I also said that that didn't look promising. I believe I was ridiculed for being negative. Oh well.
Maybe you guys will work it out. Good luck rest of the year. -

Bingo my man. You have no idea how excited it makes me that someone from this area understands. I've been preaching this message a long time but nobody wants to hear it.
Not just Tatum. Mart, Carthage, East Bernard, Allen, Denton Guyer...I mean. The list goes on. And it's not a coincidence those schools are in the state title conversation often.
