As a former coach I would like to personally apologize to the athletes who participated in the signing on friday. I have attended MANY signings and this was by far was the most embarrassing display of school pride I have witnessed. The AD, who is in charge of hosting this ceremony, had very few words to say and the few words that were spoken were done with no emotion. As if he was just trying to get it over with as fast as possible. No local media was present. I believe there was 4 athletes signing and the entire ceremony was over in about ten minutes. In fact, there was suppose to be a 5th athlete who had a conflict on Friday, however, the AD would not move it to another day. Sad for these young men. When an athlete moves on to play at the next level its a big deal for the community, the schools athletic program, the student and the parent. This should have been a time for celebration! According to the buzz I heard in the short ten minutes I was there, this man is not well liked! One person said "oh he talks a good game when needed, but becomes a completely different character behind closed doors" He has been at HF for a year now and I guess his true colors are starting to show. They always do in time. [/quote] He probably was not hired on his ability to host signing ceremonies. I am sure the athletes that signed don't appreciate your comments though. Its about their great accomplishments, not how long the ceremony was. Congrats those that signed, and we are so proud of you. What else is there to say? [/quote]You totally missed the big picture. The way this man hosted the ceremony was a reflection of his lack of support and respect for his athletes. The ten minute ceremony itself wouldn't have been offending if those ten minutes were spent celebrating these athletes accomplishments. The AD showed absolutely no pride in the athletes great accomplishments. These athletes deserved better and if this man does not have the ability to host signing ceremonies or is not capable of executing a professional/respectful ceremony I am sure Hamshire Fannett has many more employees that are not only able, but willing to take on this role. [/quote] I think you are just grasping for something to complain about. [/quote]Your wrong. I have no reason to just complain to be complaining. I don't even have children at HF nor did I graduate from HF. I was attending the ceremony because of a connection I have with one of the athletes and truly felt sorry for how little recognition was given to those 4 men. An observation.......sad observation [/quote] Yes, we believe you. This was your 3,4, and 5 post as Hawkeye81 and its just to complain about a ceremony? How silly is this? What was post 1 and 2 on? My nephew signed a letter to play tennis. He went to a high school in Houston. The letter was signed in the coaches office. This school won state in football recently. He must be a bad coach too. He did not even have a ceremony. Again, he was not hired on ceremonies, and I am sorry you did not feel his emotion at the ceremony. stop the rumor (a "buzz" is code for rumor) mill!!!! [/quote] Wow, horns 93 you must be the jerk himself or one of his cronies! Hawkeye you are absolutely correct. The man has NO respect for his athletes or colleagues. I personally witnessed the girls win district and watched the man walk off the track and not congratulate one athlete or coach. As a former longhorn it is despising to watch this man come in and do this. All the good coaches he didn't fire this year are leaving. But yes hawk eye it is nice to see an outsider see his true colors (they definitely aren't blue and gold!)
