Knox34

Everyone has their own opinion.  Personally, I love the hire.  Always enjoyed watching his teams play and seems like a great guy.  Glad he’s coming back closer to home.  And I think he only lost to OF once during his time at Buna so happy to see him on the orange bench.

2 png parents said that same parent from OF is trying to get his son to play there 🤔. Btw. Whitmire is orangefields coach. I believe it’s official.

That's not true. 
Should know something very soon. 

Constant jabs at teammates. Selfish play jabs. Not enough heart jabs. Sharks eat know you’re role post. It’s a constant. It’s embarrassing to the team and the true good fans OF has. It’s become a spectacle and a running joke for the team when they walk in every gym. 

It probably is a dad that wants the best for their kid…. The problem is the dad doesn’t realize coaches don’t want overbearing parents and parents they need to run their game plan by or parents that post everything on Facebook about their decision and ridicule the other players on the team.  I’m guessing this dad thinks that post would actually entice a good coach but doesn’t realize how wrong he is by posting it and how it actually keeps good coaches from ever being interested in going there. 

Kountze should be very strong next year with the district mvp returning! 

Did I take a jab at you by saying that?  If so I didn’t mean to. I don’t know who you are nor did I know you were an assistant at orangefield. Apparently the players dad wants the assistant to stay there so sounds like you have his vote! I think most people would agree that if someone that has had 5 jobs in 5 years it doesn’t look great on a resume. Maybe I was wrong about you🤷🏻‍♂️  Apologize if it came off as a jab. But sounds like you have the support of the players and parents. 

I personally wouldn’t want anybody that has been at 5 schools in last 5 years. All kinds of flags raised there. 

I don't know you, have never mentioned your name on the site, and don't have an issue with any of the reasons you've stated on here.  I've heard only good things about you, and respect the fact that you come on here and say who you are. That said, I'm still in agreement with Knox about not wanting a coach who always has a reason to leave.  I'm not about to debate a man about what's in his own head and heart, but I think your record speaks for itself in two ways.  1. You're a good coach that 2.  doesn't stay in one place.  I'm not going to dissect every reason you've posted, but reading them I'd think there's a good chance there will be another reason that comes up causing you to move on to the next school, especially if it's an upgrade.  If I were at OF, I would be hesitant to hire someone who has a history of not staying in one place, no matter how good of a track record they have as a coach.  I work in education, and often serve on interview panels, and it's always a red flag when a teacher turns in an application with a job history full of one-year stints and a bunch of different schools.  Coaching isn't any different in that aspect. All that said, you have a working relationship with those at the school, and are a proven winner, so you do have a nice inside track towards the job.  I wish you the best of luck, whether it be at OF or elsewhere.  

The thing is orangefield should be a desirable place to go coach. They have talent and have a city that supports them and a school that supports them. The problem is when you get parents that are too involved and want to lead the team or think they no more than the coaches. They turn a desirable job into a vacancy that will be very hard to fill with an experienced good coach. All these coaches talk and know what to expect from the parents going into it. A lot of them will stay clear of that job to avoid the headaches that come with it. If the parents want the best for the team they need to keep their opinions to themselves. 

I’m a huge fan of Whitmire’s.  No idea if he would want to move back to SETX.  Would be fine with the other two as well. 

He is without sin so it's totally fine to cast stones

We all know if scales got it he would be the most dedicated passionate coach in their district. Be fun to watch 

Did Indians93 attack people calling them teenagers while defending someone for being attacked in the same manner ?  I believe these “attacks” are saying parents need to stop getting in the way of the coaches and let them do their job. Especially if you want a good coach. Coming in throwing out Bible versus and calling people teenagers seems very hypercritical to me.

Seems like we already have instructions in place for new coach. I’m sure that wouldn’t scare off anybody interested 😳

I would think it may be #nedfam or #pngfam rather than tucking tail back to LCM.  

Best believe I would send out a notice at the start of the year, part of which would include a letter signed by parent(s) reiterating their job as parents and mine as a coach.
You cheer, I coach.

Very few coaches are looking to take a job with unrealistic expectations and instructions on how the team should play before taking the job. If that’s going on now what happens when he takes over the team?  Could be a constant battle. Might be in teams best interest to keep that to a minimum 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same Scales who plays for Orangefield? If that happened it could be a made for TV reality series. 

Great job Jake. He’s as good as they get!!
