This is the most asinine thing I have ever read. How can it be that he would be reassigned for these reasons with no prior warnings or rebuke on the issues you have stated? This is truly an excuse that is being circulated by those who are well aware of the fact that they have wronged the Barbay family. I was privileged to play for Coach Barbay for two years (one when he was an assistant, and then the first year he was hired as a HC). That was 16 years ago so he was quite a bit younger and I would assume he was quite a bit less refined. Even then he did not exude the attributes that this post has assigned to him, so I have no reason to believe that his character has degraded over the past 16 years. He took over that team before my senior year when most of us seniors felt like we had been abandoned. He made it clear early on that we were in good hands and that he was the right man for the job. He invested in each one of us and had a special place in his heart for the kids on our team who didn't get the support they should have from home. I personally watched him load groups of kids into his truck after practice and take them home because their parents didn't come pick them up. I watched him pick those same kids up at 6:00 am in the summer to make sure they had a ride to the field house to lift weights or participate in summer practices. I watched him make guys miss practice so they could work with their teachers to improve their grades. I've seen him imbed himself in a community and work to make it better. I watched him start a girls softball program and make himself the head coach. He coached softball for years and really enjoyed it! He did all of this while serving as the athletic director, the head football coach, and teaching classes. No one is perfect, and Coach Barbay surely isn't, but to remove him from this position in Jasper for absolutely no reason at all is an injustice that shouldn't be overlooked. This is not something that the community of Jasper should be proud of and if it were me, I would ensure that each board member who is serving now would not be serving any longer once their term ends. I cannot bring myself to root against the kids of JISD, but I will sure as heck root against those adults who have done this. I really hope they get Garrett Morgan-ed again because that is exactly what they deserve.
Barbays, on to bigger and better things. JISD has stolen a lot more from you than a job. This thing extends way beyond employment, but you guys are resilient and will bounce back. I am reminded of a phone call that I had with Coach Barbay right after he was hired as AD/HC at HD, and a few weeks after our previous head coach had left right before my senior year. He said to me:  "I know you are disappointed in the way things have transpired, but you can either cry about it and waste one of the best years of your life, or you can fight like hell to be better than you have ever been to prove that this team is as great as we know it is. And if you make the decision to fight, I promise you I'll be fighting right beside you." He is the kind of man that doesn't just encourage you to fight, but stands shoulder to shoulder with you in the battle. He has fought beside lots of us, and now it's our turn to fight beside him. #BackTheBarbays

I have known coach barbay for a very longtime,( going back to working summers in plants during college years). This guy has
football and winning in his DNA. JISD has bigger issues going on in my opinion. My guess is Super is not about athletics and does not understand how football is king in this area. Grades are # 1 but you take care of your HC/AD and he will build winning programs in all sports. he will land on his feet and build whatever program he is at into winners as well.

I've been hearing rumors that said booster club wanted him gone that's bs . I was asked by a board member what I thought about him . I told him there's one or two things he does I didn't like but I liked him as a coach he said I don't.

It's interesting that Dr. Cammack, local orthodontist and fixture in the community, resigned as the announcer doing color commentary for over a decade for Jasper football games this morning. He's also an elected member of the school district board of trustees. All is not well in Jasper currently. Ugly mess.

If Ned folks has any sense they would be calling him and offering  barbay the job. The guy has football and winning in his
DNA.

Well said!
Don't know much about Barbay other than my Dad played for his father @ Newton. Typically if you want to know about a coach, you get no better an interpretation of the man than to hear it straight from a former student or player of his! Though few may not realize it at the time, later in life they usually understand the purpose he played in their lives. I've heard my Dad recollect about playing for his Father Curtis Barbay all the time. Sounds like Jasper just ran off a Quality Football coach for no apparent reason!

I have known Darrell Barbay a very long time and know that he is for all programs.  I have never seen or heard him "cuss someone" at all. That is b.s.!  Like all of us, a curse word slips sometimes but this is crap if that "reliable" source is saying that..  Mirrors, smokescreens, and deals done in darkness!  Coach Barbay will land on his feet while the muck of all this stays in Jasper.  Coach Barbay is one of the finest men that I know and one of the most passionate educators that I've ever seen. Big loss for Jasper!  

If I were a resident of Jasper ISD I would demand Dr Hudson's resignation it's obvious this man flat out lied to everyone.

Your "source" is grasping at straws to make this decision seem like a legitimate one. With the obvious kick back that this has caused they've got to come up with something they deem good. As someone close to the situation, I know for a fact, he lets his coaches do their job and for your "source" to say otherwise is ridiculous. 

Now that would be a big pickup if that happens.

While I am still all for Barrow is it too late for Darrell Barbay to throw his name into the ring now that he needs a new job?
