    Perception is everything, the optics on this deal are not very good. Y'all got the guy y'all wanted, that's fine. 
    A baseball coach who's had success (I know he hasn't won the titles elsewhere like Jones) was reassigned a few weeks into the season. That's pretty bush league. I don't know the ins and outs, I do know that I have never heard anything negative about Bennett. I can't say the same for Jones. 
    I hope that Bennett lands on his feet somewhere, I'm sure he'll do fine. I hope the citizens and tax payers of Kirbyville are happy with the way this was handled, and experience tons of success.
    I don't wish ill on anyone. In my opinion, this could've been handled more efficiently.

    It’s blatantly obvious Jones was who y’all wanted all along, for football 
    i think us outsiders are surprised with him taking over baseball and reassigning the guy he worked under just a year ago

    The cost of a 20-30 MILLION dollar bond package cost the average home owner about as much as they spend on coffee and doughnuts. Really people, we spend more money on fast food, cigarettes and liquor than we do on our children's education and athletics are a big part of education.

    I don't think ryker is trying to infer a that outdated facilities creates a successful program.  However, he has illustrated perfectly that state of the art facilities are not required for a program to be successful.
    That being said, I know Cornel Thompson would like artificial turf on his home field.....I am quite sure that W.T. Johnston would as well.

    Football most certainly can still be played on grass, but you need to make the stands handicap accessible. Also, like a previous poster has said, I don’t have want to be harassed by tree branches or stand in ankle deep water in the bathroom after a hard rain either.
     
    it can still be grass and have nice hardware

    I like the idea of one color from each of the old schools. Timberwolves, meh. Beaumont United, meh. But if that got the vote then a lot more people liked it than didn't.
    The basketball team should be amazing. And so should the band. Might look like Bethune-Cookman.
    Football team certainly won't lack for talent. But moving up to 6A will be a beast. Best of luck to BUHS!

    Just remember, several years ago a coach came here from little ol West Sabine and turned this program around. He is at Ennis now. So, whoever gets the job, give him a chance before you condem him. Good luck Kirbyville, you have to good of athletes and should be at the top like you were several  years ago.

    Why does anyone waste their time even reading this derelicts posts? The last time I checked, PNG played on into December this past season; if memory serves me correctly Nederland didn’t make it quite that far. It’s become quite obvious that being a JV coach for a local Pop Warner team is just not enough for this cats incredible desire to be a Friday night coach(a desire that will remain just that). That being said, I think it’d be best if you stuck to your Saturday morning in the fall duty of making sure your 8 year old running back/safety, who’s wearing number 68, isn't looking under his face mask and doesn’t have his mouthpiece strapped to his shoulder pads. Let the guys who know what they’re doing Coach the big boys on Thursday and Friday nights there Pop Warner JV coach of the year; you keep taking care of those Saturday morning equipment issues.
