 And what do you project their district record will be this year with their new coach? Cannot see any high powered coach wanting to go to Warren. Don’t think the money is that good at Warren.

I have no idea what the realignment or snap shot day will look like and I hope the new AD/HC is as good as advertised. If he is Warren is probably looking at a 1-6 or 2-5 record. I’d love to see them in the hunt but Newton, New Waverly, Corrigan, Anderson- Shiro , Hemphill are all usually decidedly better.

Hopefully Warren will find a coach that can get the kids to buy into his program. Winning teams have a year around program and kids are required to participate. A lot of the kids will not buy into the program, instead of lifting weights in the summer they had rather play computer games. It is hard to get a kid to buy into a losing program.

What has happened in Warren? Fill us in.

Only good things are happening in Warren!  So proud of the growth mindset that our admin, decision makers, school board members and stakeholders have. Change is inevitable for any district, and it’s a necessary evil. 
I for one, am ready to embrace the vision and support our Warrior Nation.

Per Matt Stepp Warren has their new HFC/AD. Corpus Christi Callaen Assistant Austin Smithey is the guy.

Corpus Christi CalAllen?  I can see how those deep playoff runs can get tiresome.

Great decision on firing the girls Basketball  coach who’s a great coach. They went to the playoffs this year seems to me that’s how you do things and make good decisions fire the coach that is building a program.

My heart will always be a Warren Warrior but the athletic programs on the boys side have been disappointing for several years. As an outsider looking in these days it appears the programs that had some degree of success in the past have been neglected. Like I’ve said before I wish the new guy the best of luck but I’m not convinced coaching is the problem in Warren. In all sports it has to start at a young age with the parents being dedicated to develop the youth leagues, travel teams and most importantly a weight program. Until we turn this around we’re going to struggle.

You’re exactly right. It’s not just the coaches that make up a successful program. Parents play a huge role in the athletics program. But let me just add, the community is also a very important factor. It takes an entire culture dedicated to building up kids and believing in the program to turn things around. Even through the toughest of times, and the worst games the community should be determined to show up, stay (even when they are losing) and continue to stand by the kids and coaches no matter what the outcome is in the short term. Eventually, the mindset WILL change and results will be inevitable.  Great athletes believe in themselves to constantly improve. As a community member, I am purposing to promote this belief for these young athletes and this new coach by showing my support.

He wasn’t “fired”. He left for his own reasons. Warren is turning a new corner with Smithey. Young, energetic, and has “been there and done it”. Let’s see what he is going to bring to the table. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Has Warren upgraded their stadium and track in recent years? I was told awhile back the gym was new, not sure that was true or not.

He was fired, mark it down he was fired because the sup told him if he didn’t resigned he was getting fired. Been there and done it?? He’s never been a head coach before so how has he been there and done it?? He’s a position coach.

The gym is nice. The football and track facilities have been pretty much the same for years. It would be hard to pass a bond issue to improve facilities with the history of the program. I still think an AD tag on a basketball or baseball guy would be an improvement but that’s never gonna happen.

The parents and students stuck their noses into how to or not to run the football program in Kville. See where they are now. You can’t paddle my kid. Yes, someone just like some of you on this site that thinks you know more about how to run the program than the coaches that are trained to do. 
In my days, if you got licks in school you got them again when you got home. A good paddling is good for the rear end. 
That is discipline, seems like there is something In the Good Book  about It.

I’ll mark it down but it’s incorrect, sorry.  🤷🏼‍♂️ 

And 6 district championships and 1 state title doesn’t qualify someone as “been there and done it”? Sheesh, your qualification list for an AD must be tough. It takes a whole coaching staff to lead a team, not just a head coach.

I’m not sure that happens this year since it’s so late in season, but I’m sure that he will bring in his own people at some point in the future. Meet and greet is June 15th @ 6:30 in the Board Room.

Calallen has never won a state championship in football.

That being said, he did serve under a coach that has won more games in Texas High School football than any other coach, ever.  I'd be willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he learned a little something there.

[lsutigers20230]

He’s a position coach, never has called a played on the offensive or defensive side 

[whsalum]

In all honesty folks we’re getting the cart in front of the horse here. The new coach could be the best in our schools history and still have the same record as his predecessor. I wish the guy the best but unless he has some kids that are blue chip recruits some of y’all are setting the bar to high.

Truth is not everyone is going to be happy with whoever is hired…If Nick Saban was picked there would have been someone posting on here mad…Good luck to Coach Smithey and here’s to hoping  he can help bring success to all the programs along with the students, parents and community…

Very true
