  • AggiesAreWe changed the title to Bridge City officially opens AD/HFC/JOSH SMALLEY NAMED NEW AD/HFC

If it's true, Smalley is making a huge mistake going to BC. Most of their better athletes now days play strictly baseball. It will be almost impossible to convince them to play football. His reputation for turning programs around will be thrown out the window. If BC ever even starts SOMEWHAT competing on a consistent bases I'll be shocked. I know I wouldn't put my reputation on the line just to go home.

Stop using the baseball team as a scapegoat for BCs lack of success. They made good strides rebounding from that dumpster fire that McGuire ran. Smalley will continue building up this program. God forbid anyone try to get better around the 409.

Or maybe Josh will turn B.C. into a consistent winner like he did at OF.  Not like they were world beaters when he took over.  Neither are going to win state championships but I bet he improves the program.  And as I’ve stated many times, you won’t find a better AD.  I personally have nothing but gratitude for the man and hope he has all the success in the world, even if it’s for a rival.  Godspeed Coach Smalley.  Your work here was much appreciated.

    • 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.
