Perhaps it sounds like the term describing a daughter of one's brother or sister, or of one's brother-in-law or sister-in-law? Who just so happens to coach at Fig ______?

Neece or Barbary? Pretty easy choice if you ask me. Both are great coaches, but one is a cut above.

Lol.  Seriously? May or may not work with his brother at a school that rhymes with Casper.  Go to the first page of this thread and read through the comments.  

Ah, so this "coordinator who has been to the dance" was the same head coach who went to the dance a few years before that. A familiar last name to those in Anahuac, and one the definitely should hire.

Would love to see him get it, I want to see the panthers compete again in the next couple years and I feel he is the man for the job.

At least drop a hint.

Yes, it will be for the 3A session on Thursday. You will get to watch both 3A semifinals.

Thank you, where can I get them? All I see on the UIL website are weekend passes

Can you buy single game tic?

Not fatal or permanent, but enough for a good coach to walk away.

It’s not a good situation, but you’ll never get the folks from there to admit it will affect the search.

a wave to get him out???... where were they at the board meetings?? Nope!! The small minority that wanted him out could not understand why he could not get kids scholarships with GPA of 1.9 or lower, could not pass TAKS, had multiple wright ups in school, posting drug use on social media and having criminal records... yea colleges are dying to get those kids... SMH!!

by the way... last 4 years of each program playoff appearances:

Rio -5

Flannigan -7

Flannigan had to rebuild Crosby back to a winning tradition with less talent. When Rio started his program he inherited a program that had 7 playoff appearances in 4 years,  a D1 QB, D1 RB going to Rice(Walters twins), a WR going to UTAH(Singleton), a Tackle going to UH(Murphy), a center going to Lamar(Bridgeman), not to mention how many signed to next level? was it like 13 on that team. Some might say he under achieved with this talent and not getting past 2nd round. Some would also say he over achieved the following year with a young team going to the simi-final round. 

Again for the last time, Rio has done a great job at Crosby and will be missed. He is a good man who puts his faith in God and lives by the Book. I can't say enough great things about him. But to say it is all down hill, this job is a death trap to any coach coming in, and Rio is like Urban Meyer and no one could replace him is false. 

 

 

Agree to disagree. We will continue this conversation after we see what type of candidates Crosby gets and who they hire.

7 years Rio went 66-18. 7 years before him 45-31. 

Thanks. These guys remember the line of people supporting Flannigan but do not remember the wave of folks who were dying to get him out. No one was dying to get Rio out.

Did not say he did not have value. He has done great things there. I know him very well and respect his decisions. But to say he is the ONLY reason why they have had success is false. They were successful before he got there. Its funny that the exact things were said when they let go of Kevin Flanigan. 

Yeah, but at that time, Crosby was full of potential and lacking in expectation. Rio led the charge on the facilities upgrade, the culture change, and the many many kids who have gone on to play at the next level. Now, you are looking for someone to come in and keep that culture and expectation high and no one will be able to deliver like Rio did. Add that to the financial difficulties which will make this a mediocre paying gig........it's going to be bad.

When Rio goes, so does code red. All of that tradition goes out the door with him.

I love Rio. however I think you overestimate his value. Crosby has been successful since 2006! they made the playoffs in 2006-17. Last year was the first time they missed in a decade with 2 Area appearances(2010, 2011) and 1 Regional Final (2009) under Flanigan. They were successful before he got there. One year Rio did take a team to the Simi-Final. Rio is a great man and has made MANY improvement to the program however I believe Crosby will be fine. Who ever takes this job does have to work within the guidelines of new Administration however it is a great job for someone! 

If you can’t see his value, then you’re part of the problem

Trust I’m not underestimating his value at I’m a rio guy that has always supported what he was doing here. His program even helped my son go to school at no cost to me and I will be forever grateful but the new super is an a$$hole and I wouldn’t coach for him either. But as someone from the community I’m here to tell you Crosby will bounce back. We won’t go 0-10 like our rivals lol 

With the current situation at Crosby, you guys will be lucky to hire a guy who was a coordinator at a 3A last year. Especially when they slash the salary for “financial reasons”. 

Interesting thought about the rumors about his family. I’ve heard them too and think that has played a big part in his decision to bolt.

I wouldn’t call it a complete dumpster fire but yes there is so drama going on. Mainly one side of the tracks can’t get along wit the other but that’s been going on for decades, but wit the athletes they have they will always compete. All they needed last year was a qb. Coaches need to be able to keep their staff and rio was pissed with his being broken up and rumors about his family. We will be down for a couple of years but they will bounce back.... trust me 

You underestimate the value of Rio. He was the glue. It starts going downhill today, the athletes start moving to Dayton or Huffman, and Crosby settles in as a 5 or 6 win a year type of team. 

Lots going on. Crosby is a dumpster fire and this will bury their program. Old supt sunk them with bad money management and too much extracurricular activity with the others......

will be interesting to see where Rio lands.

If 4-5 from BH play College Ball next year somebody must have helped them get recruited.

College coaches don’t just listen to parents about their kids.   I have heard many college coaches say that the amount of video they get from kids alone is unbelievable.    They wann talk to the HS coach.  

Of course TXFOOTBALL55. Is blind to all this.

 

Probably because his "boy" who was a little league hero didn't get the attention he deserved from the ol coach. Geez....

Does peavey always scream at his assistants? It’s very entertaining to watch
