He has family in the area and was a finalist for the Hardin job back in 2012. He also has a son who is in Junior High who is an absolute stud. Prior to CC he was at Brazos, Jasper, Cleveland, and Hull-Daisetta, so he is more of a smaller school kind of guy. Caney Creek is in a terribly tough district and that job was a no win situation for him. Hardin just got a hell of a coach and I am hoping the AD role will come with it eventually when the COVID stuff and everything else going on is navigated. I know Snell has had a chance to be the AD before and has never shown interest, so I can' t imagine he wants that responsibility now. Barrier is the real deal and I expect Hardin to improve under his leadership. Folks in Hardin should be very happy with this hire.
