To make matters worse, a lot of the coaches they hired on aren't certified, so they'll be gone by spring and they'll have to hire a whole new staff!

Willis needs to re-retire. 

BH by 3 scores. 

They had a chance to have a great superintendent if they would have hired Dusitn Bromley.

2021 was not an anomaly. 2021 was the result of  a good class of kids, a single move in and a staff that came together to out work the staffs of every team they faced. This was in the midst of covid. While many staffs did everything they could to take as much of the year off, the staff that Prieto had hired only a year prior did everything they could to continue to practice as often as the UIL and other BS restrictions would allow. Did we have some exceptional HS players? Yes. Deniquez Dunn and Reggie Branch are among the best HS players I've had the chance to be around. But, the 2021 team did not have nearly as many college committed athletes as the current Crosby team does. 

Prieto was run off. Plain and simple. He was never allowed to implement the changes he asked for despite his success. There was still CODE RED painted on the walls of the cafeteria and Gym 2 years into his tenure as coach despite this being the mantra of the previous staff. The facilities of Crosby ISD are awful and frankly unsafe and unsanitary. The field house where the varsity dresses for home games is infested with mice and only has one working toilet. The showers are used as storage for the old weight room equipment. the practice fields are useless because they are never mowed and more closely resemble a vacant farm plot than an athletic facility of a program that played 31 games in two years. 

 

It is my opinion that the Superintendent had her fragile little ego bruised when all of her church friends asked her about Prieto and his success more often than the success of the ideas she had implemented. She did nothing to keep him when he was being offered other jobs. She made this business personal instead of doing her job which is to employ and keep quality employees.  

Prieto also inherited something similar to Willis. Hired late spring, kids bitter because they lost their HC/AD. Still made the playoffs and made it to the 2nd round his first season. I hear a lot of people saying this year is a rebuild year......

This year for Crosby football is a perfect storm of what can go wrong in a program. Most districts do everything they can to prevent the situations that Crosby is currently facing. 

 

Superintendent runs off the Head Football Coach and AD (school board is not aware of the issues and never has a chance to intervene)

Entire staff except a couple of hold outs finds new jobs. 

Hire of new AD is made very late in the year 

Kids only lift weights during the summer and do not implement any of the new system they will be running until first practice

Small class of seniors with few athletes that can contribute to Varsity FB

Dwindling numbers at the Junior High level. 

Participation at the High School level falling off. 

Hire a retired coach with very few local connections to hire interested and capable coaches

Hire several coaches that are not certified teachers and are first year coaches

Promote multiple Junior High coaches to varsity positions with no varsity or even HS experience

Do not hire enough coaches despite this and work short staffed

Practice the Freshmen, JV and Varsity all at the same practice and divide your small staff amongst them 

A community divided across racial lines with agendas that do not include winning games

Facilities falling apart physically with a maintenance staff that hides more than it works

 

 

I could go on, but these issues are nearly insurmountable and will contribute to a miserable season for any program. 

 

Don't forget wasting a Varsity Coaching Position/Stipend on a "DFO".
