Why does this surprise anyone, he had applied for the Baytown Memorial job when it was open.  And, "no headaches before the camera incident" ?  I would say having a thief stealing from your players an

We as parents are not mad at him! The decision he made it's about his family and business! He's a family man! He will be closers to his daughters that are in college now  and will be making more money

I wonder how all those parents that fought to keep him during the camera incident feel now?

I think they went above and beyond for him, selective comprehension and all.  And all that for nothing.  The great folks of the West End.  How they ganged up on me and turned a blind eye now look at this mess.  I just hope the kids can overcome...

Makes more money, but inherited a team off a 3-7 season I believe, leaving behind a high classification in WB, more athletes, more talent, young talent, parents and boosters that obviously go above and beyond for their guy, and a pipeline of talent coming up and superior facilities.  

Makes a lot of sense to me...

Why would they gang up on you? Were you the thief or a relative of the thief?

No.  They did so because I was amongst the few that expressed that he was wrong and should be punished.  But they were adamant about standing behind their coach by saying he did no wrong and want him back...

And to add more information to this, the parents supported him, but his fellow co-workers were not happy about this and expressed their displeasure, which rubbed him the wrong way.  The working environment has changed at WB for him, so it was time for him to go. 

Information from a few employees at WB.

Funny...  Had several debates over the years about this and winning and facilities is a huge plus amongst coaches.  

Less headache bathat HE caused?  Prior to the Camera incident, he had no headaches.  And if he did the same thing in Tomball, he'd have the SAME headache.  Just saying...

Did everyone or anyone really think he would stay at West Brook. After all that went down, I am happy for him. I live in Tomball, great hire

I didn't think so, but those parents with selective comprehension at West Brook did, which is why they were team Flanagan...  Obviously, he wasn't team West Brook parents.

This camera thing was the last headache.

Trust me, there were plenty of headaches caused by admins prior to this incident. Other head coaches in the district have informed me.

Tomball facilities are just as good as West Brooks. Also, Flanigan can implement his system and program at the middle school level. This cannot be done at BISD because there is no true feeder system to any of the high schools in BISD.

He wouldn't have to do the same thing in Tomball due to "administrative support"

Of course he's in the spotlight for this, but I would be interested to see just how many time he brought this issue up to the higher ups with nothing being done. The man was put in that situation to make a tough decision. Soulja, you used a term earlier, "selective comprehension", which I think we are ALL guilty of at times... including me... including you... Maybe we are wrong for our opinions on this situation, then again, maybe you are wrong.

      Will Anahuac lose a district game ?

      By 2wedge · Posted

      He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By Bulldogs92 · Posted

      If Crumedy eventually has bigger aspirations than being in Jasper, every aspect of the program will be looked at when someone interviews him for any job. He knows that. The mindset needs to be that any time someone wears a Jasper uniform, that they're doing everything they possibly can to win. It matters.

      Trump Running in 2024

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up It's a poll but I could definitely see this as realistic.   From the article: Catholics in the United States have swung dramatically against President Biden in recent years, now boasting a significant statistical break towards his GOP challenger. Pew Research released on Apr. 30 a report exploring support for presidential candidates sorted by religious affiliation. The poll found that 55% of Catholics support or lean towards supporting former President Donald Trump in a head-to-head against Biden. Conversely, only 45% of Catholics support Biden in the same one-on-one pairing. The 12% margin of support in favor of Trump marks a significant shift from 2020, when he held an extremely narrow lead — 50% to 49%. Biden currently leads among Hispanic Catholics with a narrow 49%-47% split, but the close contest marks a major shift rightward for the demographic. In 2020, a similar poll from Pew Research found Hispanic Catholics preferred Biden to Trump with a staggering 67%-26% split.

      You said a lot there. Truthfully, that is the root of the issue. Who cares what a kid thinks about how coaches are running a program? Kids play, coaches coach. For some reason, parents have this backward in a lot of places and its wreaking havoc.
