Oh there's definitely more to the story..  Like a couple of board members have kids that weren't starters maybe?  I would not be surprised at all if this was the case. I officially want Navasota

Now we know where McGallion is headed.  I mean, why would they settle for Fedora when you can have SILSBEE's coach?

There has to be more to this story. I wonder what has been going on behind the scenes?

I officially want Navasota to win the title this next year and then he give everyone a 2 handed salute  ..I.. :) ..I.. on his way out the door.  He won't have any issue at all finding a good job.

That would serve them justice..  Then they will fall back to just another program.

 

He won't have a hard time finding a job that is for sure.  Maybe he will get the last laugh and leave in May and leave them scrambling.

My thoughts as well. I'm sure Fedora is a very good coach, but Navasota is loaded also. Also, I'll bet there is lots to this story that folks don't know. I'd think he's reached a level by now, that someone upset over playing time, wouldn't be able to have him non-renewed.

Agree to disagree.  

One would certainly hope not...especially at a school this size.  But don't kid yourself...upset board members and community members are the cause of contract renewals every year.

Are you serious?  It's not exactly easy either!  It's his ability to get the most out of the athletes, teach them the game, and have a better x's and o's mind than the guy on the other sideline.  The Fedora family has proven to do all of that.

 

"Its not extremely hard to coach athletes....."

 

For some it proves to be very hard..  Kenny Harrison and Toby Foreman say HI.  Look at Kirbyville before Jack Alvarez.  Did the athletes magically show up when he got the job?

This is the hidden content, please

54-3 over the last 4 seasons.....and 109-30 in 10 years....

I don't see how any single person on this planet can coach.  If those numbers aren't enough to get a renewal then nothing is.  Those board members are fools...this has personal agenda written all over it.  5 admin recommendations and the Head Football Coach is only one that didn't go thru...?  Yeah...Navasota got the POPS (pissed off parent syndrome)

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      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.
