BC isn’t a football town. The kids, PARENTS, and community aren’t willing to do what it takes to have a winning program. I mean, they wouldn’t mind winning... unless it meant getting sweaty. 
Coach Dubois is, in my opinion, easily one of the top ten “x &o”coaches in the area, and the absolute best leader of young men. BC will not likely see another coach of his caliber in our future. 
Band parents didn’t like that he had the band  removed from the sidelines during the actual games... so they complained. There were too many “why don’t they throw the ball more... we’ve already ran that play five times” from Day One. Ummm... because BC isn’t a qb factory. Year before last we beat teams with multiple D1 recruits with a bunch of kids that had one kid move one to play at a D2 school. One. That’s coaching. 
A lot of heat came up last year when one of the star players was injured in practice. The parents were very vocal in blaming Coach Dubois for that injury... plenty of others were quick to join in. 
I’d have gone back to HJ, too  
 

The HJ job is tough for anyone to take.  It does not pay very well, LOW BUDGET, the district will not improve facilities(you can see that by not having baseball lights.. still the laughing stock of the state), Jr. high in cubicles(FEMA will not give them any money until they raise the old high school up like 2 ft.. which will not happen), the people in the district will not pass a bond(they feel the money from last bond was squandered, things that were supposed to be done were not), new AD will not be able to run a 4A athletic program correctly without interference from other head coaching sports (this will not change, look at Admin., any other school in the state of Texas if the head of other sports have any problems with the way the AD is running things... they would be gone.. that is not going to happen at HJ. 
Until these things are fixed.. HJ will be nothing but a stepping stone and will get only coaches that will use it that way.
 

Watched Nederland play their last game in NRG against a very good Manvel team. I was very impressed by the way they reacted to adversity, never got down and fought for four quarters. 

SA would be out of their minds to play against this newton team, we're talking from a post I saw the other day not sure if this is correct or not 55 D1 offers divided between 5 players...this is a 3A DIVISION 2 school who would want to play them 

You do know it would be a “5 peat” if they made in 2018 it would 5th straight year. 
 
 

Probably looking for a former head basketball coach that doesn't mind coaching football.

Or maybe it is absolutely accurate. Maybe Jones Came in last year. Joined the staff as the JV coach and felt chided that he was not used as anything more than that. Maybe he felt like He should have been consulted more on the decisions that were made by Bennett. Maybe they made it all the way to the regional finals with very little input from Coach Jones at all. This causing a major rift between Bennett and Jones. Then this year after Jones gets hired as AD/HD FB coach he decides(along with some in the community) to put Bennett in his place if you will, by reassigning him and taking over because they didn't get along, and he believes he could have done a better job. Maybe just maybe it could have played out just like that, or maybe it didn't who knows? I have seen Coach Jones coach and there is no doubt he is a good one. One of the Best. I don't think him taking over is the issue. He will have the kids ready. The issue is Jones and the powers that be went about this the wrong way. Not that he or any of the concerned citizens of Kville care about that. But I do know that under Bennett's leadership Kirbyville went from a 3-24 record to one Game away from a State Championship in 6 years. The good ones are always going to piss a few people off along the way, Just ask Jones about his PG days, and as a coach you have to know when to move on. And it was probably that time for coach Bennett. That being said Bennett deserved a better exit. He earned a better exit than to be reassign in the middle of the season for no reason except some people did not like him or the way he ran his program. Good luck to you Coach Bennett you will land on your feet. And good luck Coach Jones and Wildcats go win it all Those Kids Deserve it.

There is no business to put out there.  Parents were mad because of this or that, the loudest mouths won out.  It is what it is.  But the truth is, Bennett is an exceptional coach who loves those kids.  He has had numerous opportunities to go elsewhere but has stayed for them.  Yes, he knew this was probably coming, but the timing was unprofessional.  The kids will be fine, because they have the heart for baseball.  PROUD of my husband and his accomplishments, his integrity, and his love for the game.
