Vincent withdraws name from La Marque search By Joshua Buckley The Daily News Published April 3, 2008 LA MARQUE — The search for the next La Marque High School athletic director and head football coach took a dramatic turn on Wednesday, when Flower Mound defensive coordinator Chuck Vincent withdrew his name from consideration hours after being offered the position. Vincent, the defensive coordinator for the Cougars in 2006, said La Marque superintendent Ecomet Burley offered him the job Wednesday morning. But Burley called Vincent back later in the afternoon to tell him that he was putting the decision on hold. When Burley told Vincent he was pulling back the job offer to think about the decision for a little longer, Vincent elected to take his name out of the running. “It is pretty disappointing,†Vincent said. “I was ready to take my new defensive coordinator and my wife down to La Marque on Friday. Then he called me back and told me he had to do some more research. “I said, ‘Timeout.’ I’m not going to do this if he’s going to be half-hearted about it. If he’s that way now, what’s it going to be like the first time he doesn’t like something that happens on the football field? At that point, I told him I was taking my name out of the running.†Burley could not be reached for comment Wednesday night. Vincent is the second candidate to remove his name from the La Marque coaching search. Nederland head coach Larry Neumann pulled out of the running Tuesday. In a report in Wednesday’s Port Arthur News, Neumann said he elected to stay at Nederland after the superintendent promised to raise his base salary from $78,000 to about $92,000 a year. The three other finalists for the position are Dallas Kimball head coach Darrell Jordan, Aldine Nimitz head coach David Suggs and Grapevine head coach Gary Mullins. La Marque fans were familiar with Vincent from his stint as the Cougars’ defensive coordinator in 2006. La Marque won the state championship that season, in large part because of Vincent’s aggressive defense, which allowed an average of 10 points in the final 12 games of the season. Vincent has been an assistant football coach for 21 years, including defensive coordinator at Marcus this past season. Many La Marque fans were hopeful Vincent would get the job based on his performance at La Marque in ’06. But Vincent said he was certain that Neumann was the leading candidate for the vacancy after the list of 34 applicants was narrowed to five finalists. Vincent said Neumann dropping out prompted Burley to call him and offer the job. However, Vincent said Burley put the search on hold, because he had concerns about the coach’s emphasis on teaching. “He told me that he remembered a P.E. class I was teaching last year and had concerns about me putting teaching first,†Vincent said. “I told him that I thought teachers had to be teachers first before athletics. I had told the people I intended to bring for my staff the same thing — the classroom duties come before anything else. “I’m not sure what made (Burley) change his mind. I don’t think this was handled the right way at all.†Vincent will remain on the staff for Erwin, who left La Marque for Flower Mound Marcus after winning the Class 4A, Division II state championship in 2006. “After I told Burley I was taking my name out of the running, I walked back in to the athletic office and told Coach Erwin that I’m a Marauder,†Vincent said. “I’m here now, and it’s a done deal. “All I can tell the La Marque fans is good luck.†Vincent said he expected Jordan to be offered the job later that day. Jordan took over as head coach at Kimball in 2001. In his seven years there, he has a 52-29 record and has advanced to the playoffs each season. La Marque is searching for a new athletic director and head football coach after Chris Jones resigned from those positions Feb. 15, after just one season with the team. The Cougars went 9-3 under Jones and failed to advance to the regional finals for the first time in six years. The next La Marque school board meeting is set for April 10. Any hire for the position will likely be made at that meeting.

Good coach!

Charges dropped against Coach Lucky Gamble www.wacotrib.com The Falls County district attorney’s office has declined to prosecute one of Texas’ all-time-winningest high school football coaches after his arrest last year on assault, drunken driving and weapons charges. Falls County District Attorney Jody Gilliam Morris found there is insufficient evidence to file formal charges against former Chilton High School assistant football coach Lucky Gamble. Gamble, 56, was arrested twice one weekend last September in Marlin, which led to his resignation. The assault arrest involved Gamble’s wife, who signed an affidavit in Gilliam Morris’ office saying she did not want her husband prosecuted, the district attorney said. However, that was not why the case was not pursued, she said. “My policy is not to automatically dismiss a case just because they didn’t want prosecution. I decide it on the evidence that is presented to me.†Gilliam Morris said. Gamble, who was coaching offensive and defensive lines at Chilton when he resigned, said he is relieved this episode in his life is closed. “I am glad this is finally over, and I can get on with my life. I never felt I was guilty of the charges which were made,†Gamble said Wednesday. “I put it in God’s hands. That’s all I could do.†Gamble’s attorney, Hoagie Karels, said the misdemeanor weapons charge, which came when Gamble was stopped for suspicion of drunken driving, involved an ax handle that Gamble and his father use to unclog garbage disposals. Gamble was convicted of misdemeanor assault and placed on probation in McLennan County in 2004 for an incident involving a previous wife. He ranks 14th on Texas’ all-time win list with a 267-69-5 record over a three-decade career, including a 59-10 mark as head coach at Chilton from 2001 to 2005. Gamble declined comment Wednesday about his plans other than to say he just wants to get on with his life.
