pretty sure it will be off to region 4 for us 

That would be good for y’all. Would make your path a little easier for sure

After the in house hires, do you think they’ll maybe try to get someone without Dayton ties altogether?

Michael Oros coaches high school baseball at Kingwood and coached the Victoria Generals in the Texas Collegiate League for the past 5 summers. Played college ball at SHSU when Pierce was there and then bounced around a few independent league teams, mostly the Florence Freedom, for a few seasons before calling it quits to focus on coaching. DM me for more info about him or his contact info. Great baseball mind and even better guy.

He was head baseball at one of the Klein schools before moving over to Kingwood

have heard nothing but great things about him.

That does not included freshmen, does it?

That’s probably the same as their baseball program too

Playoffs would be an improvement.  They haven't made it since he's been HC.

Improvement can be more than just wins and losses

They didn’t make the playoffs. Did they have a better record this season?

I believe so.

It’s just how it is when a new AD comes in

With some coaches yes but not with a hc who has done everything right and is even improving the program

Great hire by MV. Briles was unfairly demonized by a ESPN liberal politics hit job. Briles will set himself up for another NCAA job in two years. Congrats to AB and MV!

i didnt realize being against rape enabling and rampant corruption was a liberal thing

kind of disappointed to hear that

The capitalist ideal that you can place on a public school is that if you aren't happy with the salary of the current school you work in then you can go to another public school. Since they all have different funding and a different tax base they all pay different salaries to their employees.  I know their funding is dependent on taxes... I explained in a previous post why going to a small school board and asking for more money wouldn't be good.

ok let me say it plainly

public education is not capitalist

Most people do not know that salaries are around 80% of an ISD’s budget...Most small, rural schools are not sitting on piles of money..There is only so much $$ to go around...If there is no industry in their district then they live and die by their daily attendance ..Say for example you demand your district raise salaries 3% to 83% of budget, your money for books, cafeteria, buses, paper, field trips, extra curricular activities (ie..everything else) goes from 20% down to 17% so what do you cut?? A district pays what it can afford...At any rate I don’t know the specifics with West Hardin about whether or not they have a bad board or good board or if their parents are meddling or not...I just hope for the kids they got a good person to lead their programs..Best of luck to the Oilers..

this is the reason you cannot place capitalist ideals on schools. their funding is totally dependent on funding and taxes

You can... in terms of a public school salary because they're not all the same.  So.  If West Hardin teachers aren't satisfied with the salary that they are receiving at the West Hardin public school then they actually have options.  They can: 1. Keep complaining about their salary yet go to work every day for that salary anyway. 2. Stop going to work and refuse to work at West Hardin public school until the school either replace them or is forced to figure out a way to pay more money if it can't hire more teachers. 3. Apply and go to work for a different public school that pays more money.  Same is true for class size.. not happy with the number of kids you have in class?  See above options ^.  Not happy with the school contribution to benefits?  Above options ^.

Actually, it's not our or anyone else's opinion concerning the salaries of teacher, doctors, oil field workers or anyone else.  We live in a capitalist economy where supply/demand drives everything.  The demand for medical field employees is much higher so they get paid more.  Just like their services cost more.  As long as there are teachers willing to work for 40K/year then that's what they will get paid.  Maybe teachers should just walk away or refuse to work and then we'll see how important an education really is.  Or not.  It's whatever to me.. I also know a lot of teachers that are perfectly happy with how much they get paid.  We are, in fact, talking about the salary at West Hardin.  Other schools pay a lot more so teachers could go to work somewhere else. 

you cant apply capitalist ideals to socialist ideas like public education

but the salary is part of the reason WH struggles to find teachers

I'm definitely not saying you're wrong.  There wouldn't be doctors without teachers...but should teachers make more money than doctors?  In my opinion, no. 

i dont think so either, but that's really just both our opinions

just making the point though

To be fair... working 6 months of out of the year in an environment where there are literally potential life-threatening explosions for 12 hour days doing back-breaking labor is probably worth three times more.  At least. 

you could make the argument teachers are the most valuable profession given they provide all other areas of the workforce with their talent

$40,000 a year for a part time gig indoors WITH benefits and no weekends is a pretty sweet gig.

Silsbee was down this year. But I also think Huffman and HJ have a good team this year. Good enough to beat Sweeny? Ehh idk 

HJ is solid

huffman i would agree is down but having a solid program that expects to win cannot be overstated.

Who is working in GCCISD for $30K per year? A first year teacher, with no coaching stipend, makes $55K per year.

You can say what you want about GCCISD, but pay is not an issue.

i think that was in reference to west hardin
