Seems like they basically had a home town guy that wanted to stay a few years, but weren't happy. A school that has relatively very little talent, pays low, and might have some of the worst facilities in 4A/3A might not attract many quality candidates looking to stay pass a year or two max.

Buyer beware on the prairie. Its a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe me its super frustrating out here on the prairie! Seems to be no willingness to build an attractive program for talent or coaches. I am sure this will be an inside hire from the current staff that is still there.

Might be the worst place I can recall. Seems hell bent on remaining terrible. They reject every possible step to improve. I feel bad for the kids.

Facts! Sad but true.

The talent we do get here quickly leave and nobody thinks thats an issue…

Hearing that DC Tenorio is applying for the job, along with others I’m sure.

Anyone have any insight on him?

Don't really know too much about their coaches, other than their boys' basketball coach is a good one that's probably had the most success out of everyone.  Would this be a spot where they could fill the AD role with a non football head coach? I think this will be Tarkington's 6th AD change in the last 10 years and three of those were with Belt. Football is 3rd on the list in Tarkington after baseball and basketball. Tough spot to coach at!!

Same here don’t know a lot about the coaches on staff. They’re fairly new.

Boys Basketball had a great year! Baseball…seems they like making TikTok videos more than playing ball 🤦‍♂️.

Oh the woes of sports on the Prairie!

An assistant from a very successful nearby 6A school applied. Has ties to the area.

Interesting…

Figured it’s going to be someone with ties of some sort.
