He did have success at Westbuy and Willowridge. Spread guy so I don't think too much will change at Ozen.

Is kind of interesting that for the second year in a row Rodney has brought in a coach that somebody else didn't want. Crosby's Flanigan and now North Crowley's Magee.

This is an interesting hire at best! I'm curious to see how the community and present coaches respond to a coach with recently 3yrs. of a loosing record? It seems as though it may be difficult to convince people that you can win if you haven't done it in a while! I'm not saying he won't or can't but I would have thought that they would have sought after someone who has currently demonstrated success! Makes you wonder about the people who are doing the decision making and their experience dealing with athletics? Hmm! Hopefully he can take the football program to a higher level so let's give him a chance to prove himself and see. Let's be OPTIMISTIC!

I know nothing about Magee personally.  But I can tell you comparing Ozen to North Crowley is definitely apples to oranges.  I know Ozen has history and the ghosts of Hebert still stand proud in the orchard, but BISD is very much like FWISD?  Not many "winning" coaches are beating down the doors to get in there. There is not a team down there that can play with 80% of the teams on NC schedule.  Closest might be PAM.  He is a good choice for Ozen and will right the ship.

Yes you have a point there, the teams he played against are very good and loaded with talent! Noone knows the obstacles he faced in trying to bring that NC program around but if he can duplicate some of his years before NC he should do just fine! Once again OPTIMISTIC!

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
