The Icon

I called Barnes an Noble in Beaumont on Friday and they didn't have them yet.  I think I saw Matt Stepp say that they should be in stores this week. 

So did every coach in Ranger, Texas. You ever been to that wasteland?

A school trying to hire a head football coach in mid-June has slim options. Beggars cant be choosers. 

That could happen. Feel very sorry for Coldspring. I also stated this will be late to put a good staff or work with the existing staff. Again the real people this might hurt is the kids, especially the seniors. Multiple coaches over the last couple of years is not good for the program.

I look forward to this more so than Dave Campbell’s to be honest 

I can respect that outlook 

Not trying to start crap, but is this how far the Wildcats finished last season in baseball?

I'm going to get a job with Enterprise Rent-a-Car, because they have an excellent corporate structure. And they give you all the tools to be your own boss.

There's always some young coach needing a first job
 

"Manvel was one of, if not THE most athletic teams in TX last year. Highland Park might have been the least athletic State Champion."
Those are your words my man..I was simply stating that to imply that Highland Park wasn't athletic is..well..kind of dumb.  They literally had D1 football players all over the field.  Yeah they may have won the X's and O's battle but they were VERY athletic.  What is so hard to understand about that? 

So you're telling me that a team can be the least athletic State Champ and still be a very athletic team?....I read ya...

Which team has more State Championships in Football? Manvel or Highland Park...

There's not a football coach in Texas (5A and down) that would have a problem with that "nonathletic" team that HP had.  Not one.

Hence, proven losers.

and that are hungry, looking for that 1st chance to be a HC, to prove everyone wrong that passed on them.

That's why you hire Coordinators with a vision and a plan.

Coach Spell is a stud, hats off to him. Enjoy retirement, cosch.

For the record, Chad Taylor has not had one conversation with anyone from Goose Creek CISD or Baytown Sterling.  I have not applied for the position at Sterling, nor did it even cross my mind.  Coach Fortune did call me one day and ask if I was going to apply, but I told him that I am a Liberty Panther next year and after that, I would re-evaluate, as does every coach at the end of a season.  I did apply and interviewed for the position at Baytown Lee last year, but that is it.  You guys are correct, I do live close to Baytown Lee and it made a lot of sense at the time.  My wife and I both have taught in the GCCISD and it was good to us, however, we are Liberty Panthers!!  Not sure how my name got brought into this post or conversation but as me applying for and interviewing at Baytown Sterling, not true.  Call GCCISD, ask them if I applied!  You guys have a nice day!
