BC isn’t a football town. The kids, PARENTS, and community aren’t willing to do what it takes to have a winning program. I mean, they wouldn’t mind winning... unless it meant getting sweaty. 
Coach Dubois is, in my opinion, easily one of the top ten “x &o”coaches in the area, and the absolute best leader of young men. BC will not likely see another coach of his caliber in our future. 
Band parents didn’t like that he had the band  removed from the sidelines during the actual games... so they complained. There were too many “why don’t they throw the ball more... we’ve already ran that play five times” from Day One. Ummm... because BC isn’t a qb factory. Year before last we beat teams with multiple D1 recruits with a bunch of kids that had one kid move one to play at a D2 school. One. That’s coaching. 
A lot of heat came up last year when one of the star players was injured in practice. The parents were very vocal in blaming Coach Dubois for that injury... plenty of others were quick to join in. 
I’d have gone back to HJ, too

Okay I was being funny. Not a fan but cardinal backer likes to poke fun at folks sometimes I was just going to beat people to the punch

Good for Coach Dubois... he’s a fine man. 
With the realignment and fine tradition of sucking I think we’ll have a hard time attracting any serious names for  HC.
I hope that all of the Cardinal fans who were vocally unhappy with Coach Dubois are happy now.

HJ fans will be glad with this hire 

DuBois coming back 

Find me a football program that is successful when a head coach of a sport other than football is the AD. Excluding districts with a stand alone AD. I bet there are few to none.

Orangefield must have gotten lucky as well

I don’t know anything about Coach Morgan, so i really don’t have an opinion about his coaching attributes. I’ve got to say that I’m totally surprised by the school board down there. 
Apparently there are people down there on the board who managed to look beyond the coach’s “qualifications” and just make a hire. 
Some of the predominately white schools need to look around and pay attention. 
Respect.

I’m not real certain about the Cardinals this year. I’m less connected to the team than I have been in years. I know that we lost a lot of key personnel after the 2016 season, then got absolutely devastated by injuries last year. 
I saw a few positives for the coming year... Dubois has created an absolute army of kids who want to be one of the Cardinal RBs. Hopefully fb Lara has the kind of season that we expected from him last year. Ply looked really good when called up for action last year. It seems like we’ve lost a lot of key pieces on defense this year.  
The whole question to me is whether the kids are in the weight room right now handling their business. You have successful football seasons because of the work you do in the offseason. I’m not sure if these kids want to win football games or just have their senior picture made with a letterman jacket. Time will tell. 
 

It all comes down to the judges... and those guys are typically music wonks.  I remember a few years ago when some band played nothing but cartoon themes and the crowd(s) loved it.  I'm sure the judges would hate that routine in competition.  We were told two years ago that one of the three judges scored us poorly because we had a patriotic theme.... Not because the judge was a commie, but because the judge felt that we were playing to the cheap seats by playing taps, etc.... It's totally subjective.  It's also a fact that most of the directors are friends, colleagues, proteges, etc... they really look out for each other at contest time.  

Am I wrong but wasn't Dubois WAY more successful at HJ than this Sloan guy? 
Didn't a GR guy interview for the Nederland job???
