I stopped by a busy gas station this morning and happened to be in line behind a few coaches who were chatting.  I wasn't paying much attention until I heard something that made my ears perk up.  I heard one say to the other "Will it ever end?".  The other said, "Will what ever end? Of what do you speak?"

"Why, the success of West Orange Stark's JV squad, of course.  Will it ever end?" Replied the coach.  

"Ahh, silly me. Well of course not.  They have the greatest JV coaches in all of the land and even more than that they practice on sacred, blessed land. It will NEVER end." the fellow coach responded.  

I could do nothing but smile and shake my head.  Powerlifter was right.  Coaches across the state are asking.

funny that you say this... last deer season I was at a gas station near my deer lease outside Jefferson.  There were some old men sitting at tables talking about two things: the weather, and West Orange Stark's JV football program.  It's not just coaches taking notice ;)

    • 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. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
