I don't have the slightest clue

They need to hurry....you don't have much school left

yes you are correct you can not make every one happy. But really hope they chose the most qualified person. but on that note the best qualified person is not always the best fit. 

Beware of Hurricane Lance!

Any news on this one ???????

After everything that's gone down in HF lately...I'm not sure I'd even consider working there..unless every single school board member not only resigned, but moved out of the school district.  Issues over there.  Real issues.

Here are the only facts that matter.  The former AD at HF made the playoffs each of his final 2 seasons. Fact.  Criminal charges were brought up against the man...by parents of athletes...for excessive punishment.  Fact.  The charges were dismissed because they were found to be untrue. Fact.  He resigned shortly thereafter.  Fact.
Was he ran off?  Who knows... Truth is only HE himself knows the real reason why he resigned.  But this news article came out right after he resigned 
This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  ... and it doesn't say 1 single thing about the fact that the charges were dropped.  Not 1. So now this ridiculous story (that very strongly implies he resigned because of this) may end up following him to all future employment opportunities.  Because of some whiny, complaining parents of some obviously out of shape kids..This man's life may be affected.  That too..sir..is a fact.

they have been looking for something for 3 years to get rid of him

It was more than les got ran off. Hate to see Harris go but glad he Dnt have to put up bs anymore. If any coach would ask him what he had go thru at Hf. All would stay away. Not everyone wanted him to go & other coach released on athletic duties. If that was case HF would not be divided on the situation. I've seen/heard players quit mid season cause of too much running( not applying to football but bball) throughout yrs. . No I didn't always agree with his play calls but he is the head coach. He couldn't come to our job & tell us how to do it so why should certain parents feel they have privilege to go to his job & tell him. Trust some have did jus that. The killer part bout this whole situation is its the seniors football boys hurting most right now. Instead of enjoying their senior yr ...they have to watch 2 of 3 that been there their hs career go thru this. And majority of them fully support the coaches. They should be focus on keep their GPA same or increasing and many are still tryn find right colleges that still have needs in position they play & try walk on. But with the main two coaches who handle matter no longer able to help. The chance is slim to none. ( this is my words & thoughts...not no one I'm kin to in athletics). To coach Harris thanks for all you did for HF. You have taught these guys so much especially sr core. Good luck to you

It's sad when a few parents end up running the show. Coach Harris will hopefully land on his feet and be happy when he is eventually in a better place to further his career. Coaching is a tough job because of this very thing. It shouldn't be a "political office" type job, but that's what it can turn into. It happens all the time these days. I also don't have the disposition for it. It was hard enough in little league and youth football to try and keep my mouth shut, but at least it didn't affect my family much. I know I'm aging myself but, the coaches in my day were some mean son of a guns but we respected them. No telling what we all had back then when we weren't ran off to the emergency room. I know I definitely ran a few sprints with shin splits in my day and it hurt like hell. Welcome back to mediocrity HF.

As a coach..you will always have my support.  I love sports...and I know sports.  I talk SPORTS all the time with neighbors, friends, and family members.  To the coaches I know..I never talk philosophy.  I don't give suggestions, I don't question, and I don't talk about it behind their back.  
When my kids were growing up I never ONCE suggested to my children that their coach was wrong, and it should be done the way I think it should be done.  Nor did I talk to or about the coach regarding concerns, even when I disagreed with the situation.  That man/woman is being paid to do the job the best way they see fit..so be it.  I had chances to get into coaching.  I didn't do it, so I'll let them do it.
And I do know you're right about the politics.  Which is the EXACT reason I couldn't coach in high school.  I have zero filter..never had one.  I'm very blunt, very honest, and very quick to my point.  My father raised me to be so...so it's what I know.  I can't express enough how undervalued educators are.  People very, very seldom realize the impact they have on the numerous amount of kids they come in contact with.  Situations like this make me sick.

Looks like the hf parents got what they wanted anyway, he gone...

Yarbro commited to Louisiana College last night and LeBlanc #27 commited to Lamar yesterday!!! So proud of my Raiders and beyond excited to be able to go watch Dreston LeBlanc at Lamar

VERY valid points, Grad.  All accurate.  Adonis, Mackey, Barnes, and Big Hudson definitely made life easy for D. Thomas.

With due respect, Soulja, I don't know that others could have done the job that JD did, but I get what you are saying.  He is one of many on that team that performed well.
And I agree that Dontre's numbers put him up top.  Heck, if I were voting, I'd probably give it to him.  But it is not like Dontre did it all on his own either.  He managed to find himself behind one of the best (and biggest) lineman prospects in the nation.  He had a beast of a running back in Adonis Thomas, who got even better as the year went on and made sure that you couldn't key on Dontre out of the read option. He had speed burners over the field who spread things out for him.  And for those who want to belittle the Tiger defense, just recall that WO-S is not the only school to have a WRS finalist on BOTH sides of the ball.

Congrats to all finalist. Thomas is sure to be winner. But just wanna say special congrats to my nephew King. Leading a team from 4th place spot previous yr to 2nd place & a playoff win in 19yrs of school history. And achieving 34 rushing TDs with every team keying directly on him, 41 all purpose tds , with his time being limited some gms. Again congrats to all & good luck.

I don't think these guys were football players.

keep the dressing room clean and this wont be an issue. we have created such a pansy ass society it makes me freaking sick...and it makes me sicker knowing its only going to get worse. I feel terribly for the HF coaches.  Didn't they have a pretty dang good record in football this year? Its grueling offseason workouts along with intense coaches/players holding each other accountable that lead to great football seasons.

He's already gotten beaten out twice at two different positions. The latest is by another true freshman 5-star, Minkah Fitzpatrick, who's a longer and more rangy cover guy that Saban probably sees in the mold of first round pick Dre Kirkpatrick. Not to mention the other 5-star track kid, Kendall Sheffield from FB Marshall, will be ready to go next year in the 'Bama secondary. Every kid that's at Alabama has worked hard to get there, just like the vast majority of all other college athletes. The difference is at 'Bama you don't get the same amount of rope because everybody is just as talented as you are.
I highlighted Fields because you really can't get much worse than what he was doing, yet you haven't heard a peep from him until he was laying on A&M's qb last night. Cam Newton got in trouble multiple times at Florida, Urban Meyer didn't kick him off the team but he saw the writing on the wall and transferred. Should he have tried to stick it out at Florida because it was best for him, or did he make the right decision by going to Blinn and winning a title before going to Auburn and winning another title with a Heisman to go with it? Saban suspended Alvin Kamara for the Sugar Bowl a couple of years back, should he have stuck it out at 'Bama to get back in his good graces or go kill it like he's doing at Tennessee right now?
I'm not saying a change of scenery is the best option, I'm just saying playing special teams and backing up younger players at 'Bama might not be. Getting sent home you sophomore year the day before your team's biggest game of the season is a lot darker mark than a misdemeanor arrest as a freshman. If he was in Saban's doghouse before he's probably moved to the outhouse now.
