Evidently they have some serious problems.  I can guarantee you Joaquin has a durn good 2A team, but for a 4A to lose like that to them is strange.

It starts and ends with the parents. Take Ag and FFA  and roping and rodeo away and you will see changes. Nothing will change until then.

those are not the problem....

[longball24]

Have family there. Go to the other events, look at the crowd size listen to the people. They will tell you sports is a waste of time. They will spend 20,000 dollars on a horse or cow and will not spend .50 cents on athletics.there is only a hand full of people that will invest in sports.

Well maybe their priorities are elsewhere... their town and school to decide what's important to them...

Brother, those are thriving programs at every small school in Texas. FFA and rodeo aren't the issues in Huntington, otherwise lots of schools would be in trouble. The issue is the Jimmys and Joes. There simply aren't any players there and there aren't any players there because no one has ever stayed around there long enough to build a program. It will never get better until a coach invests.

To say that the previous 30 head coaches did not invest is being a wee-bit blind.

It takes longer than a year or two and it takes true commitment. Give this staff an opportunity, see if they are as committed as they say they are.

Yes, give the staff a chance, but to say that the other guys did not care is the Admin or community spreading the blame instead of taking responsibility 

[PlayActionPass]

I have no idea about the commitment of previous staffs, and I have no idea about Admin or Community placing blame, all I DO know is that it will take a special coach (staff) to stay the course and build something successful there and they will have to have the support of the Administration and the Community to get it done.

[longball24]

I agree it will take a special coach and staff. But I question weather the administration and community have the commitment and resolve to see it through. This will take more time and money than most people will commit to especially the money side. Other departments and activities will have to take cuts to their budgets to get the athletic department the funds they need to compete. Look at the facilities it will take millions.

Man, someone must've coached at Huntington before moving on to his JV gig.

All that aside, If the community doesn't care about football, then why would they care enough to run coaches out of town? These guys are taking this job and leaving at the first sign of greener pastures and in doing so they are crippling any chance Huntington has to every build a program. It will take someone who actually wants to be there to turn the thing around.

You are 100% dead on correct!!!

And Lord willing the staff that is in place is the one that wants to do that.

Nope, never coached at Hunington, coached against them, and the reason they leave for greener pasture is that the admin and the community put them in a bind. The reason they run the coaches off is the coach is a threat to those who have power and people will do a lot of back stabbing in order to keep their power.

Oh lord have mercy. This is ridiculous. Then why don't they just quit playing football?

Then they would have all that time to practice basketball and still be horrible. The bigger question is why don't they stop being a school?

[2wedge]

Because they're class 4A and be being class 4A have all the justification in the world to remain a school district. You're puzzling me man, tell me your just trolling.
