People who applied and had interviews background (NO NAMES, Don't know what happened): 1 - Current AD/HFC who has had success at several small schools(4a and lower) with good experience 1 Young Coach with family backgrounds with state championships 1 with DC experience at 4A and 5A who lived in the Warren area for a while.

Heard they had some good candidates(more than usual) that interviewed and Coach Riedinger was not mentioned. Has Kenneth Riedinger had any OC/DC experience? I tried to look him up and only found head softball at Evadale. He maybe the right guy for the job. IDK.... but questionable. Good luck to Coach Riedinger and the Warren Warriors.

Warren has had a revolving door for a reason. I'm sure they have made their decision already and I'm guessing it will be questionable at best. Warren keeps doing the same thing. Either hiring an older experienced guy or a young coach with no head coaching experience. My question would be why would a experienced AD/HC take a job that has had a revolving door with little success? My guess is there is a reason and he would not be there long. Also why would you take a young coach that has been at great places.. He will just use it like a spring board and be gone in a couple of years. What really needs to happen is take a coach that wants to be there and is looking to stay to build stability in the community. Someone looking to evolve all sports at the Pop Warner, little dribblers and little leagues to invest in the feature at Warren. Someone looking to help educate parents and inspire involvement in youth activities. Someone looking to invest in the Jimmy and Joes. That person would be probably someone that has lived near/in the community. knows the dynamics and knows what needs to happen. Needs to be someone looking to stay no matter what. I would look for a OC/DC experience, probably in 40's and has been at some successful places.

This is the Regional Quarter-final correct? not the Regional Simi-Final

All sports lose money... period.. Yes football brings more revenue but still loses money with all its costs... Football does not "fund" other sports.. It is funded by budget.. which is paid by state and local taxes. I have seen many games this year where less than 200 parents show up to the games. Do you think these schools got rid all other sports cause their football team did not gain enough revenue at football games??... come on.. I would agree football is bigger in Texas.. no doubt... All I'm saying is other sports should not suffer cause of football Offseason... I know coaches think that 10 extra practices in April/May will determine if they are successful in November.. I just don't think its worth destroying another sport to do it.. especially with all the summer to practice...

Really.. I have talked to many high school coaches, players and college coaches about this subject. (by the way, if you have not guessed it... I'M A HIGH SCHOOL COACH - Football and Baseball). I have had several Big D1 players that went to Baylor, Texas, Texas A&M, UH, and LSU tell me their pitch counts... What they were allowed to throw. How long they had to sit till next outing. All of these were in writing by their college pitching coach. Even seen a kid this year NOT Allowed to pitch in the First round of playoffs cause his pitching coach from LSU told him not to cause of how many he had thrown the week before. They keep tabs on kids all the time. Kids stay in contact with their college coaches all year. I have Coached in Local and State ALL-Star football and baseball games. I have been on selection committees. I can tell you for a fact, a invite is sent out to all state players. Most Big College players do not accept the invite.

ALL SPORTS LOSE MONEY!!! From your point of view other kids dreams don't matter... OK... Your opinion.

Happens all the time.. College coaches limiting their pitch counts in high school. My suggestion is to talk to some high school coaches and see what they are told by their players.. As for football Sr. all star football games all you have to do is look at local and state all star games.... you really think the best players in the state of TEXAS are going to small colleges like SFA, McNeese, Lamar and etc... You will rarely see any SEC, Pac 10, Big 12 kids there.. why their school does not want them playing.

College Coaches in most sports protect their athletes (signed recruits) even in high school. College Coaches have gotten so protective about their baseball recruits that that signed in Nov. that they put them on mandatory pitch counts. If their high school coach breaks their pitch count they are telling the kids to quit the high school baseball team. Also happens in Football. Once they sign a letter of commitment, especially at D1 schools, they tell those kids to NOT PLAY in any all-star games in summer.

I don't think it is overly hyped.. I am seeing less and less multi-sport kids when it can all be prevented.. A coach teaches l loyalty, work ethic, comradery, integrity, perseverance, etc.. to get kids to buy into their program. They talk about brotherhood and doing what is best for their community.... But some mean all of this just for football... Kids see into this double standard and will quit.. either while on the field or off... drives me crazy!! and again... I work with these kids.. they tell me what they think.. so you can agree or disagree.. its their point of view!!

Well I have coached around SETX for the last 20 years.. I have not seen many playing in "their school fall ball team".. seen some playing select.. not high school fall ball... IN FACT some schools are not playing in the school fall ball league cause they can not find enough players.. cause most of them play football..

I would not say NO ONE REALLY CARES WHAT HAPPENS WITH BASEBALL.. All you have to do is go to Ford Park every weekend and look at how much money parents pour into baseball.. lol I get what you are saying.. but look at it from this point of view... WINS look good on resume correct? Would a AD do better if he has all his multi-sport kids stay in his program? Again they are usually the more athletic kid. Is his actions driving away the more athletic kids to "concentrate on one sport"? Sometimes more is not better.. Kids get burned out really quick if they believe their AD/Coach does not care about their personal athletic dreams and desires. Like I said.. a Good AD knows how to navigate this issue.

there won't be a scheduling problem... cause AD's don't allow them to play.. its a nice double standard they like to use.

Yep!! They have school teams. You usually don't hear much about it cause baseball coaches will not let their players who play football join.
