Coach bashing is done by morons that think they know more than they do because they sit in front of a TV for most college/pro games.. in turn making them believe that their knowledge supersedes the individuals that actually spend a majority of their week preparing, practice planning, studying game film, talking amongst actual peers/professionals in the field of coaching, facilitating practices, managing student/athletes on and off the field, juggling students' mental/psychological issues, holding students accountable for good/bad play and classroom behavioral circumstances, along with a limitless list of other dealings that go into what affects decisions made during a game.. while trying to win said game.
Coach bashing is also done by people that would've played D1 "but their coach didn't like them".  It probably had nothing to do with them being a below average player at an average (at best) high school with average to below average competition.  I'm sure that people who bash coaches spend some time coaching peewee and telling the kids/parents that they were All-State when they played and had chances to go pro but got hurt.  I'm sure that people who bash coaches couldn't do 10 pushups today or run 100 yards in an afternoon.
Change my mind. 

I like it.  Probable district MVP.

Nice job OF.  I definitely would've lost money on this one.  That Slot-T proved too much for Anahuac to handle.
Congrats.

All Buna has to do is score more points before time runs out.  Easy.

There isn't a doubt in my mind.  I'm saying that those who bash high school coaches and even beyond are likely peewee coaches that "know more" than the varsity/college/pro coaches that actually get paid to do so.
To clarify.. I'm not saying that coaches are mistake free.  There are definitely coaches that are better or worse than others.  I'm implying that there's often a lot more that goes into winning games than simply strategy/preparation.  One being talent.  And parents/fans often refuse to believe that their little babies just aren't any good.  So coaches catch the blame.
People need to realize that Bill Belichick is 71-80 withOUT Tom Brady.  So.. is he a worse coach?  Or.. did he have one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever take a snap?  It wasn't very long ago that he was considered the best football coach to have ever lived.  And I have no doubt that he knows more than I ever will.  But.. know what I mean?  Kind of like Phil Jackson.  Who coincidentally has zero championships without MJ or Kobe/Shaq.

Are you aware of the term District of Innovation?  I read that most schools in the state took on that role which includes certain perks such as schedule flexibility and allowing certified teachers to teach in fields they aren't certified in.  I bet that Hardin has those flexibilities.  I also know that in certain circumstances smaller schools hire uncertified (yet degreed) people to teach while they are completing or even working on a certification. 
There is no set rules as to what exactly a coach HAS to teach.. and just because a coach is teaching something one year doesn't mean the teaching field can't change the next. Even for that exact coach.  It sounds to me that Hardin either lacked creativity or refused to be creative... because I have friends/family in the coaching profession and was told that Barrier wanted to hire specific people to coach yet was told he couldn't.  I'm not usually one to go off of just the word of a few but the coaching world usually holds pretty true to what I hear.  In my experience anyway. So if that is evenly partially true.. he did the exact right thing by abandoning ship.  

Tap the brakes, my guy.  I watched a couple of Anahuac games on their stream and I like the kid.  He's a player for sure.  But top 10 in the nation?  I don't believe you're considering the enormous multitude of schools across this nation that will produce the hundreds upon hundreds of collegiate level quarterbacks over the next however many years.  Just look at the state of Texas.  Again.. I like him.  But.. are you not considering Lake Travis, Westlake, Allen, Martin, and the multitude of other 6A schools that will have quarterbacks that focus solely on being a quarterback and the countless other hidden gem quarterbacks across all classifications in THIS STATE ALONE?
Do I believe he'll take snaps at the next level?  Sure?  As long as the work ethic remains and he avoids  injury.  Top 10 nationally, though?  You're legitimately talking future NFL quarterback with that statement and there's no way I'll be convinced of that just yet.  Someone mentioned 1,000 yards.. where does that rank him in 3A?

No doubt.. a little further west down I10 and they'll be in Katy.  According to maxpreps.com,  Katy's current qb is 6'5.  How does the Barrier kid match up (size wise) to a typical big time quarterback?  It's takes more than passing for 1000 yards halfway through the season at a 3A school.  Just sayin...

It's the only home game they have in October.  Maybe that's why..

I personally don't think a fair assessment of how a head coach did or is doing can be made unless they've had a group of 7th graders make it to graduation.  Also, expectations can at times be unrealistic and improvements, expectations, and culture changes need to be taken into account.  Unfortunately that's not the case.  Coaches are judged on wins/losses. Despite graduations.. despite classification changes.. despite district changes.. despite transfers (both in and out).. despite every single detail that can affect the failure/success of a team that's out of the coach's control.  They're still judged on wins/losses solely.  
Coincidentally.. sometimes a fresh perspective can change the attitude of the entire program by bringing new excitement.  I get that.. I just which it was approached in a more, "we'd like to change directions" type attitude instead of unwarranted negativity towards whoever the last person was.  Again.. I get it, though.  The average person isn't very intelligent and there are far more people with below average intelligence than above.  That's just the way of the world.. so I won't pretend that how things probably should be are the way that they will be.  So..

Hear me out.  Or.. it’s possible.. that HD just isn’t very good.  Which most knew but the “wE uPsEt A biGGER sChOoL” crowd kept insisting that they were better than they were.  Despite the fact that the teams they “upset” gave up 75 last week and will go 0-10, gave up 60 last night and likely won’t win again, and the team that couldn’t be “upset” gave up 65 last night and likely won’t win another game.
Sigh.. those pesky details.  Anyway.  Now the same coach that was praised before is ridiculed now.  John.. HD55.. did either of you guys get the exact details?  Perhaps there’s a reason that Bird shifted from your vast football knowledge.  Was the kid hurt? Did he smart off to a teammate? Did he call a coach’s momma fat? Maybe WH made adjustments that you didn’t see.  Maybe literally any reason Coach Bird thought of happened.
I’m sure he knows both of you personally. Reach out instead of acting ridiculous on a public forum.  Job applications? What a joke you are.. 

People should be careful what they ask for.

Is this considered an upset? Since HD is the master of upset I mean…

Ya’ll are tied with us for last place in the district!

It seems like they are becoming or have become quite effective at their strategy to send good people down the road.  Kudos, Hardin.  Everyone has to be good at something.
