He is in the majority. There are a large number of coaches, both head coaches and assistants, that do the exact same thing every year. The only reason you are hearing about his exploits is because he

$$ Same reason every head coach goes anywhere.  And also the same reason that ALL head coaches are always looking.  Can't fault a guy for bettering himself financially.

The point isn't being upset about TF applying for a better job.... he applied up and down, every spring. 

 

Let my my boss get wind of me interviewing all over the place and suddenly I'm kicking a can around in front of the unemployment office. 

How can a coach expect kids to buy in when he's already made it clear that he'd rather be ANYWHERE but where he is?

100% agree...

To fans of Killeen......I wouldn't put a world of faith in this article at all. Lol apparently his commitment doesn't mean more than a text message until he's signed on the dotted line. 

He never actually sent out a email stating he was taking the job at Woodville.  He sent out an email to all staff the other day confirming that he was taking the Shoemaker job...

Lol can only Wonder where the Central program would be had Stowers Stayed..most likely with all the success a bigger school offering more money would have came knocking eventually 

Yea, he had them going in the right direction with discipline and long playoff runs.  I wonder if he knows his old job is open again...

Some of Foreman's final numbers...

Overall  23-21

Non-District  3-8

District  20-9

West Brook  0-4

Playoffs  0-4

 

The only question I have is. If the program doesn't win consistent for the nxt couple years who fault will it be then?? Bcz seems like everyone bashing foreman.just wondering if they will bash the new coach that's coming in. I just hope it's a coach that gets kids to college. From wat I read foreman done a great job of that.

I'm just wondering. What was the record the four years before he was there? I thought he had done a decent job, but perhaps not. I wouldn't expect them to beat WB very often anymore. Isn't WB about twice their size now?

To put things in prospective, the previous coach had more playoff wins in his first year in 2009 than he had in his combined 4 years.  And it's no secret how many of us Jabs felt about the previous regime...

DJ, I'm not taking any shots or bashing Foreman.  Me posting his final numbers is just a fact and something I have always done in a coaching change since I joined this board years ago.  Now I can give you more numbers than you can comprehend if that's what you want.  Yes he did a great job in assisting kids get to college but I think the next man will do the same in that category.  Nobody is bashing the next assumed coach because I doubt he will be applying for other jobs every year for one and most want him to have the job, including myself...

No need to wonder, I'll give it to you...

Coach Washington

2009  9-4 Overall, 7-3 Regular, 2-1 playoffs.  3rd place in district that year.

2010  8-4 Overall, 7-3 Regular, 1-1 playoffs.  District Champs that year.

2011  2-8 Overall

2012  3-7 Overall

Anymore questions?

Well your expectations on the WB/Central game is totally different than mine.  You ever heard the phrase "size doesn't matter"?  :)  Well in this case, it doesn't.  All I will say is

Central 21

West Brook 12

with 8 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter...

I'm no mathematician... but it seems to me that they ran out of talent in about 2010.  Relative to the opponents on their schedule anyway.  The school is 28-36 since 2010.  Not very good....but if he went 20-9 in district games in 4 years then that's pretty decent.

The winning years were from a team he did not build.

I didn't want to say it but you are absolutely correct.  He had 2 good years off of a disciplined team that Stowers had built.  So I do give Foreman credit for coming in after 2 loosing seasons and turning the ship around.  Hopefully he can do the same at Shoemaker...

I don't have nothing but love for the man.  He tried to do a lot for the kids. I know there are several kids on that team who were penitentiary bound. A few who I brought to his attention myself. He invested a lot of time and effort away from school in them. Everybody might not like him but I know his heart was in the right place. I wish him the best.

Coach Nelson was up against some of the same things at Ozen. He was going that extra mile when they railroaded him. I hope he get the Central job.

I've been saying that BISD's AD cultivated a culture where coaches would rather take a pay cut than stay in the district. If you look at, all head coaches try to leave the district fairly quick.

Nelson has been named the Interim Head Coach.  I don't know when the final decision will be made.

West Brook is a small 6A and Central is a large 5A. WB has 2300 students while Central has 1800.

      So you are saying a star baseball SHOULD be doing full contact football drills during the baseball season as his Baseball team prepares for the playoffs?

      Roger.  I misread your comment. Perhaps the other sports will turn the corner sometime soon.

      I'm going to agree with this. Individual drills would be fine, but a varsity baseball player should not be involved in full pad practices during the baseball season. Especially, if he is a contributing player on a playoff bound baseball team. This is irresponsible and selfish of the AD/HFC.

      If there's a specific situation that started this thread, I don't know the details.  Nor do I care.  But I do have an opinion about what I'm gathering from some of the comments. My opinion: I do believe that an AD should leave the players of a particular sport to their respective head coach during that season.  The varsity players of that sport anyway.  I believe it's a little different concerning the sub varsity players of that sport.  If an AD/HFC decides to grab some JV baseball players for some offseason football stuff during the athletics period, I don't have AS MUCH of a problem with it.  I would still consider it a common courtesy to discuss with the head coach of that particular sport to consider their thoughts on it. I also believe that ALL athletes should be lifting and running all year.  When in a particular season, I believe that the head coach of that sport should control the reigns on that topic to implement some sport specific lifting/running during their season.  But all athletes should be in the weight room year round. As far as playing multiple sports?  I'm an advocate.  I know that the popular idea is for potentially good/great players in a specific sport to "focus" on that sport.  And I agree.. but focusing on one sport doesn't mean stopping the others.  It just means prioritizing time in a way that extra work is put into that specific sport.  After hours, weekends, holidays/summer, etc..  Just because you plan on making a push into college baseball (for example) doesn't mean you can't work on baseball during other sports seasons.  That's exactly what I did.. and countless others.  Plus, it's important to maybe learn how to be a role player in a sport that you're not the best at.  Because that's coming. That's my opinion.  And I come from an era where kids played multiple sports if they knew it would be helping.  Helping their classmates.. or just contributing to school pride.  I hate knowing that there are schools that could be much more competitive if their kids would just come out.  It's hard for me to understand if I'm being honest.
