Waiting on official word from BISD. But in the meantime, all four are on the initial list I put out last week. Only two are current head coaches.

Kirk Botkin should get job. He can coach some defense very well. Being a former tight end, he can relate to linemen on blocking, wrs with catching. He coached defense and special teams with Bobby Petrino in Arkansas. I’m sure if he is hired he will bring in other great assistants with him with college experience get the boys ready. He has great college connections since he has coached a little bit of everywhere with high names and can get the boys into a college after high school which is just as important in building young men. 

Yes, the original list of applicants was 65.  This is the guys who made the cut of either being a Head Coach, OC or DC...

It was just approved.

There you have it.  The Beaumont United High School Timberwolves, colors, maroon and gold.

I took it as he remembers the past problems that he's had and hopes he's learned...  And hopes he's wrong and he flourishes in the NFL with no other issues arising.  I know CB have said some ill stiff, but that ONE comment, I don't think he meant it as a knock...

I found nothing wrong with his post.  His post was how he felt. He did state he hopes he's proven wrong.  And he's right.  Tony has came a long way...

I doubt it.  The ones that would quit in Beaumont are already not playing.  Go read my post from yesterday about Quitters.  Being pushed is what these kids need and will bring out the best in them, it's in their DNA.  Now Bridge City on the otherhand...

AMEN!!! 
I agree with this 100% - this is not just Beaumont - this is Nation wide

Me personally, I think it's something else.  As a father of 7, 6 that are involved in extracurricular activities, I think this generation is full of quitters created by their parents.  What do I mean by that?  For example, I'll use my oldest child.  Junior in high school currently at Central who plays football and runs track.  He didn't do this but what if when he was playing with the Bulls and they were just getting started with their workouts in July/August in the dead heat of summer, he came home one day from practice and said he quit, he doesn't want to play football anymore?  It's too hot, they are making us run too much or he doesn't like the contact that comes with football.  Or if when he started running the hurdles in 7th grade, he wanted to quit because the hurdles hurt too much if you miss time one and all of the conditioning that goes into track.  If I would have let him quit, he wouldn't have the opportunity to start at WR for the "new noname" high school in 2018.  He wouldn't have made it to Regionals in the 300 M Hurdles as a Sophomore and have paperwork coming in saying that colleges coaches are taking note.   A lot of these parents now a days would go turn in their kids equipment for them and say to the coach that my child doesn't want to play or run anymore.  Not at my house.  We are going to sit down and have a discussion about why he wants to quit.  I would hear him out, listen.  But then I would interject and finish the conversation with "We don't quit anything during the season.  You will finish the season, then we will have this discussion again once the season is over with and see if you feel the same way."  If at that time, he still felt the same way, then I would let him quit.
Quitting is what's wrong with this society, especially in Beaumont.  When these same kids get older, become adults and get a job or married and the going gets tough or they are faced with adversity, they quit the job or wind up getting a divorce.  They don't know how to persevere, adapt and overcome.  Just some of my thoughts...
  
 

Think your underestimating Stowers, was one of the most successful coaches and was only at Central 4 years. won 2 district championships made it to playoffs 3/4 years and went 4rounds deep his final year. Defense of mastermind , and had a very great program going..was very good in the community and got kids out of the hallways and on to the field.. 
imo he could be a good get for the new school 

I will, give me sometime to confirm some stuff with them.  They've found this helmet and uniform program and finding pictures on the internet.  They've been showing me stuff daily but I want this to be theirs along with the other students involved, decision.

Reading is fundamental...

This is the best looking helmet of them all!  Add a small star where Beaumont is.  Beaumont East Oilers...

VIKINGS ALL THE WAY!

Varsity - Central 74 - WOS 55 Final

Lol.  Feather dusters...

i'm thinking this could be a low scoring close game. I don't think central defense gonna stop the slot, but i do think central will move the ball on vidor due to they took a hit from graduation on defense. this might be who have the ball last. also central MUST get better play from the center....oh and HYDRATE!!!!!

One thing I do not agree with is BISD making their HC's salaries the same. I am pissed if I have been a head coach for 10 years and being paid the same as a first year ever head coach in the same school district. To me, that's not right.
It's one of the reasons why Stump left and a few others have left. Salary in those cases should not be the same.
