crying on this site will not change it. You have to change your school board who has the power for the final hire on the superintendent and coach.   
we had a problem years ago at Burkeville and we got behind a select number of candidates (which I was one of) got elected and we changed the system which included getting rid of the superintendent.  
I hear your cries and I feel your hurt. Get some people who are respected in the community that have your views that are willing to run and get behind them. 
Good luck to my friends at WOS.

But the last act of the outgoing board was to extend the super for three years… and Burkeville had to cough up three years worth of his salary, if my memory is correct. 
 

It was a very costly decision and I’m pretty sure Burkeville has had two supers since.  I mean, the new board won and made good on their promise, but the whole ISD lost in regards to a severance that cost the school hundreds of thousands… and they had to hire another super.

The move i am talking about was over 40 yrs ago not the one several years ago which you are talking about. I got off the board in 2003.

Play calling has a lot to do with them looking like they do.. they beat their chest against lesser opponents & get exposed when the other team matches their athleticism.. kids gonna make mistakes but you have to put them in the best position to win also

Can lead a horse to water but can’t make them drink.

    • 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.
