My advice, FWIW, don’t hire home cooking.  Might want to follow what PNG did!  
How about going after that assistant coach at Rusk with  the son that’s a good QB?  Wouldn’t hurt to ask if he’s interested!

3 high schools in 3 years for the young man......can't imagine his family would be in favor of that.

Everything about BC is better than Orangefield.  This job, too.

When will BC announce the hire of Josh Smalley?

Vidor has too many Monday morning QBs or bleacher coaches that know way more than the coaches on the sidelines.  Instead of getting their kids to buy in, they spend their time badmouthing the coaches.

Any Bridge City fan here can call or email this coach and give him the opportunity to accept or decline the offer to apply.  Don’t always presume those in charge will be able to make the right decision.  Sometimes it’s good to reach out to coaches just to see if they are interested.  But, don’t limit it to this coach.  Reach out to others they any here can think of.  Why not?!

What I would do is after the State Title game I’d call or email the winning and losing coaches of the 3A and 2A title games.  I’d ask them to apply for the BC.   One never knows what will happen.  But, that’s just the start.  Think of 5 coaches that you would like to see apply and contact them.  You may only get 1 or 2 replies.  Remember, those that are responsible wait to receive applications.  That’s not my MO.  I’m not suggesting something I’ve not done myself! You might be surprised at some of the responses you get!  But one thing is for sure — you know what the outcome is if you don’t try!  Do nothing — get nothing!

I have a feeling this is going to a homer higher

He did not change anything at Rust. 

I did not think he would and I tactfully said that, but I was labeled a hater. Truth is some voiced opinions of the young man are just fanciful. I will say again that it put too high of an expectation on a (then) 15 year old. It was unfair to him. I wished they would have just stayed at AP and enjoyed the ride. Rusk was not a good move.

Hearing some rumors from Orangefield that took place this morning 

Worst kept secret in SETX as many have said before. He's been denying it all year, which I don't understand. If it was to "protect" the players, they already knew and it showed by their demeanor this year. He's going "home" and getting paid more so not sure the reason for "hiding" it or avoiding what everyone already knew. Hopefully he's not making the move just to "make his best 5 years" for retirement. Knowing his track record I doubt that would be the case.

No doubt.  Should've just got this done 2 years ago and avoided snowcones.

He wasn't gonna walk away from a 2000 yard rusher and senior led team destined to win the DC. Especially considering they wanted him and made exceptions to put off the official hiring process.

      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.
