What, no one on here supports Kelly that can let us know how they did last football season?  If I don't hear anything, I'll go forward presuming it wasn't a good season.  I'll give it a few before I give my thoughts on their situation.  It'll be apropos for other programs also.  

Kelly was 1-9 last year.

Very experienced OL coach set to return to the Rez…..

Is this a theory or based on real rumblings? Who do you think it is?

DCTF has our game as a highlighted must see Top 10 non-district game in the state.

That’s at La Porte, right? I can’t wait to see that new stadium. 

We’ve had the spring game, so there’s at least something to talk about. What do ya’ll think? I saw some positive signs. Looks like we’ve got something to work with, and plenty to work on. I think the defense will be better this year. No idea on the offense, though it’s hard not to observe that our o-line will miss Jackson Christian. 
 

Any word on whether we’ll participate in 7-on-7 this year?

First time for everything…. 

I hate reading police reports. I spent about 30 years trying to teach cops to speak normal English. One of my pet peeves, and it was at least a couple of times in the I report you linked, is the phrase, “It should be noted”. No kidding?

Newsflash: Everything should be noted. I was approving a report one time and called in the officer to completely rewrite it. Almost every sentence started with, it should be noted. It should be noted that I have arrived about five minutes after being dispatched. It should be noted that there were several offices already on scene. It should also be noted that I saw a man who appeared to be unconscious in the front yard, and it should be noted that there were several witnesses nearby….

YOU’RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!! 😳

Then the policespeak. 🤣

I then detained him in handcuffs (cuffed behind the back) blah blah….. Why not just say, I handcuffed him by in the back?

Another favorite is, I saw a red in color Ford Mustang. I guess that’s for the benefit of people who don’t know that red is a color. 

This is good advice. Not not just for cops, but anyone who writes. Writers should always say what they’re saying in the simplest, most direct way. Avoid jargon, filler words, etc. “It should be noted” is a great example. I also love “detained in handcuffs” when “I handcuffed him” would be more direct. I think people — Even experts — are afraid to write simply, as if that would betray a lack of expertise or professionalism. The truth is the opposite. A straight line is the shortest distance between two points, and a good sentence is the shortest distance to an idea. I enjoyed your write up.

What was png and Nederland? 

PNG came in at something like 1705, Nederland about 150 less

Any Huntsville people who want to share their thoughts? This seems like a weird hire. Of course, a coach can exceed past performance with a new school, but I thought a program like Huntsville would look for someone with a higher profile and better record, or at least a promising first-time HC. 

Awesome 

Any word on the Huntsville coaching search?

Sorry, that was me 

Is this the first United head coach who wasn’t a former coach at one of the Beaumont schools?

They better get tremendously better on defense. They haven’t played good defense in the past 7-8 years. They need some coaches to teach secondary players how to play. Those positions have been extremely bad. LB’er play hasn’t been much better. Also have to get the OL much better and find a QB and receivers. The new coaching staff will hopefully teach for improvement 

Nederland had good (and sometimes great) LB play last year.

If only had Bryson stayed in Nederland for his career. Would have been a fun backfield. 

I didn’t know about this. That’s crazy. 

Ty Bryson for offense. I’m not familiar enough to have an opinion on defense.

It's interesting that Abseck may be in the thought process at Lufkin???? I don't know anything either way. Folks do lots of supposing talk around here.  Personally don't think that's the road it is going down but we will see.  Lots of teams looking for HC in Texas right now, not enough good ones to go around IMO.  Some schools are going to be paying a lot of money to watered down visions of greatness.

Key question: What is Lufkin’s policy on coaching decisions re:  the superintendent’s offspring? 

1 hour ago, OlDawg said:

Yes and yes. The Super will hire himself.

After all, he wants the job more than any candidate so far, and he’s obviously more qualified as he wants to tell previous coaches what to do. As a bonus, he won’t have any issues with playing his son.

Problem solved.

😁😁😁

Plot twist: Super makes himself head coach and finally realizes his son belongs on the bench. Fires himself for not playing him.

At this point they have nothing to lose by seeing what his interest is 🤷🏾‍♂️

Exactly. 

Art Briles is my vote

You know all of this how? Keep reading message boards they always tell the truth. 😂

My mistake — These reports from multiple sources are all entirely made up. The superintendent is perfect, BH is a paradise workplace, and coaches are BEGGING to work there.

Embarrassing dumpster fire? Y’all have to stop believing everything that the uniformed and people that love to see BH fail. I expected better from a PNG supporter 

Your superintendent just drove off a good coach and is effectively drunk texting “you up?” to coaches to find a new one. “Embarrassing” is an understatement.

Well, 4 coaches in 12 years haven’t got you past 2nd round of playoffs.  Guess none of those guys were the right guy?  Man yall LOVED Coach Abseck until last weekend when the news broke.  So much for loyalty on The Hill.

I’m not a BH guy. I literally couldn’t have told you the coach’s name until he left. I just know they have got a good base of kids and solid facilities, a lot of money, and a lot of growth. They’ve got a lot of obvious problems and their leadership is an embarrassing dumpster fire, but I still think they’ll be competitive in less than 5 years after joining 6A. We’re talking 6 to 7 years from now. A LOT can change in way less time.

BH will compete in 6A just like all of the other classes they have entered. I have watched BH since they were 2A and heard the same rhetoric each time they move up. BH will struggle as they enter 6A, but give them 5 years and as their enrollment grows to match the schools they are playing they will be competitive. I don’t think they could ever be North Shore or Summer Creek, but they were able to compete with Summer Creek and beat CEK when they were in the district with each other. You can’t look at the schools as they sit today BH will grow like they always have.

Depending on the coach, I don’t think it will take five years

No, I was not referring to any of the prospective coaches, I was pointing to the posters here routinely critical of all thing BH. 

 

You overestimate how much anyone thinks about BH, for good or bad.

Yeah let me try and find it again, It was yesterday when I saw it. Interesting enough a lot of what’s discussed during this thread was brought up… but more. 
 

 I did see remember someone say when the head THSCA president turns down your job that has better facilities and a lot more pay says a lot about your school district… 

I’d also like to see that
