Not that I know of, but I hear that there are more than 40 applicants.

Is that a good number?

Low or High?

What is Hemphill looking for? Established leader with head coaching experience or up an coming young coordinator?

They are looking for someone who can work miracles.

[Coach85]

They are just starting to interview 12 candidates Monday. Not sure how many applied.

The problem with Hemphill seems to be a major exit in high school enrollment. Snapshot number went from 273 down to 221. A drop of 52 kids. Hemphill lost their JV team in the middle of the year, had to combine with varsity. Even going to class 2A1 you need a JV program. Hopefully they have a large 8 th grade moving up. 
Would like to know the reason for the big drop in high school. Hemphill is a good place to live and the school has money.    
Hemphill just lost a good coach.   
Wishing my neighbor to the north the best.

Have not talked to his father in law  lately. I could see him going somewhere like Newton.

Evidently he got fed up with the meddling of some and the incompetence of others, or so I heard.

Yes a good coach but a better person

[Coach85]

The announcement could come as early as tomorrow. Not sure about the names of the two that it came down to.

[TXHORN_ET]

I’m hearing it might be someone from Kirbyville, Newton, or a former coach from beckville. Just a guess on what I was told.

Bickham from Beckville ?  That would be interesting.  Didn't he coach at Jasper years ago?

[TXHORN_ET]

I heard the name Gandy that was at beckville. I don’t know what his position was there.

[TXHORN_ET]

But then again, I could be mistaken about the name I was given.

Was this the hire?

[Coach85]

They are voting on the approval tonight. Still haven't heard any names yet and heard this from a coach that's on staff there.

There was a Hicks coaching at Garrison that use to coach at Newton. Good coach and very good Christian man. I think he coached under W T Johnston. May not be the same person though.

[TXHORN_ET]

Well?

It is official that Brandon Layne is the new AD/HC.

[TXHORN_ET]

Congrats and good luck.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this job will be open again in 2 years.
