I’m not quite sure that’s the case here..the only person that was offered, turned it down. They are doing this one as seen. Picking from this list. Arthur Louis accepted when he was asked, so they had to go through the motion for football. This one will not be like the football hire.

Boutte didn’t have to apply. They came to him, he turned it down. Not sure who will get it, I only know 4-5 guys on this list. Should be interesting to see how this turns out.

I didn't expect him to apply for this one either. So a female applied for a boys job? Interesting. Why doesn't she apply for the girls position I wonder?

This is THE list of candidates. The job closed on Thursday.

He has won a state title at North Shore, why would he leave? Especially for less money.

QUOTE "If" Bisd wants the best they can get to be the head coach at United it's simple show him the money. Pure and simple it's all business. I realize high school football is king in Texas but the "Top Applicant" is vastly under paid. Had he been compensated he wouldnt have taken the AD job in P.A. and we wouldnt be having this delayed process...jmo True. Very true.

Job just closed on Thursday. Perhaps one may come out this week. Or next.

Of course its not over. Anyone that is qualified has a SHOT. However you must be realistic about certain positions. I'm QUALIFIED and able to be the head coach at DUKE, but if it opens up tomorrow, I realize I probably won't get that position...So yeah, its not OVER, but lets be realistic about WHO will get a real shot at this spot.

This one makes the most sense......lol

From what I was told from THE SOURCE, It will be an OUTSIDE hire.

UPDATE: Top Candidate has WITHDRAWN his name from consideration for this job. It will 100% be an OUTSIDE HIRE at THIS point.

Rumors vs. The Facts. That's what I was betting! LOL

I have already said that they have to wait the standard 10 days, and it has been offered to only one candidate thus far.

Would anyone like to place a small wager on your "rumors" vs. my facts? Fact #1: The job has already been offered to another BISD employee with multiple state titles. Fact #2: They are having to post the job and wait 10 days before a decision is announced. Fact #3: NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN EVEN CONSIDERED FOR THIS JOB AT THIS POINT. So, anyone wanna bet money on your rumor?

Arthur Louis has been named head FOOTBALL coach, and I have been given the information that they also have DECIDED on the head basketball coach as well, just waiting on an answer from him. I'm sure most of you will not be surprised at the selection, but I will wait until he OFFICIALLY answers the bell. Al I can say that it will look like Ozen did in 1998 in basketball and football! LOL

OK that is ok to say, but what has been done SINCE is departure? One state appearance, right, no more titles and declining. Can we agree on that?

OK Understood. If you were a betting man, would SMART money be to put it on the guy who HAS WON at a new school already and built the program from the ground?

Duke lost to Lehigh in the first round in the NCAA tournament a few years back. Did that make Coach K LESS great? ITS THE PLAYOFFS, IT HAPPENS. Not real sure why your love is so deep for Thomas and Paul, but WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? won a few games? That's terrific. So you mean to tell me you call someone saying that they will not and should not get the United job a slap in the face? If Boutte decides he wants that job, it will be his. PERIOD. You are being ridiculous to even THINK those two guys should be named the coach just because you are "cool" with them or because they have done a decent job in the start of their careers.

ABSOLUTELY! These guys have extensive resumes, and are great people as well. Sutherland can be mentioned WITH these guys, but the "GOAT"? NO.

The "GOAT"? Wow you guys must have forgotten about the gentleman that is currently guiding Beaumont Westbrook to its best record and district finish since 1995, and has won state titles at two different schools as well. Come on now, the "GOAT"? That's just disrespectful. Sutherland is one of he best the area has seen, and I respect what he has been able to do, but Coach Boutte has just shown us all once and for all that he is pretty darn great in his own right. And the season is not over yet. What if he is able to make state title run at WB? Would you guys give him his credit at that point?

Going "young" is DEFINITELY not the answer for this job. How about they go QUALIFIED AND PROVEN. What is wrong with that choice?

I know them MUCH better than you may realize. Let's just wait and see what happens. Hint: if either of them were going to be seriously considered for this spot, it would have been announced and closed at this point. Just wait, you will see. Boutte HAS been officially approached about the situation and has indicated that he is making no decisions until this season ends. They are both good guys, and are doing a good job in their respected positions, and I wish nothing but the best for them both and they both know that.

Not knocking them at all...Boutte didn't start off at PA Lincoln, he started off at Kountze...So did Green as a head coach. See a pattern here? You don't gain experience at jobs that you are not ready for. Note I did NOT say jobs that they 'cannot HANDLE'....I said NOT READY FOR. Dues are underrated, but certain jobs will require a certain type of savvy in coaching AND off court management that some guys are just not ready for...Not a knock, just facts.

Simple. Track record. Either of those guys would be capable of taking over that basketball job, however, if the BISD AD wants RESULTS, the guys that I named have a PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF RESULTS.

If either of those guys were to be considered, that job would not be open to outside applicants. The new Beaumont jobs are not for inexperienced head coaches in basketball or football. While they are both decent coaches in their own right, I just don't think they are the right choice for a consolidated job between the two schools. It will take a coach that BOTH groups of kids will respect and follow. David Green, Andre Boutte, Todd Sutherland, Duane Joubert, Joe Sigler, are the names that come to mind from the area in basketball. Football will definitely have to go outside, but that's another discussion.
