Might have something to do with a Coach that has been rumored to be retiring for the last 2-3 seasons. A buddy of mine has a kid on the team and says that all last season it was built up that HC was retiring and acted that way. Also hasn't done a convincing job of it being false rumors. Hard for some kids to buy in when they keep expecting a change.

Splendora conducting interviews yesterday and today. Hearing they are interviewing 5.

Splendora is open.

Well sounds like Day was about as good of a realistic candidate as you were gonna get so no reason to get upset. That is unless there were other candidates that did apply that were willing to take that job that the community would've preferred. However it seems like a safe pick. A coach that was willing to come there knowing the difficulties and with HC experience. Although not the success you'd have like to have seen but he seems to have performed above the average at the schools he's coached at.

Did he apply? If so was he offered the job? If he did apply and didnt get offered then I understand being upset. If he didnt then No reason to be upset. If he did and was offered but chose not to accept then be upset at him.

Which coach/coaches were the community hoping for? Curious as to who they thought was going to get the job.

Any word on Coldspring? Timeline? I know they ain’t the Coldspring of years past but still would assume this is a job that could pull some names.

New Caney is interviewing their top 5 tomorrow. 4 of them are coordinators from either their uil district or near by school.

New Caney Open

I've had some experience with Coach Hendrix. Great football mind. Organized and efficient at running an entire sports program. Zero and I mean Zero political savvy. Very blunt and speaks his mind. He has expectations and refuses to bend on any. I have no inside knowledge to the situation at West Hardin but I would venture a guess that he rubbed the wrong person the wrong way. He also may have found a better situation for himself. IDK

Sport specialization and CTE concerns are a huge part of it. However, the culture of living life through Social Media/Gaming has taken hold on the younger generations. Kids just don't love it the way they used to. Athletics are hard work and that just isn't what these kids are interested in. Also many of the goals have shifted towards obtaining offers (for posting purposes) over team success.

Interviews happening this week is what the board schedule says.

North side of Houston. No too far.

I know a coordinator from a relatively close school that has had some drastic improvements and success over the past couple of years has thrown his hat in. If Livingston wants to open up the offense they should look at him. Great guy!

Not sure how much community connections will matter in this hire since they are using a firm to do the hiring. Most likely the coach with the best resume will get the job. My money is on someone that has been a HC at multiple locations with some success. May workout or may not.
