District in the red, pending TEA takeover, no talent, poor facilities. 

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Wow! 

[Eazy]

He didn’t last long.

Should have seen this coming...

This will be the end of Coldspring being a somewhat respectable program in terms of talent (hopefully not) and not just the things that you've listed.  This has been a long time coming since the end of the Barbay years.

Will be a tough road for the foreseeable future.

I think that this would be a good destination spot for a young up and coming coach or someone that is local that knows the situation well and can turn us around... I think someone like Ben Goffney should definitely look into this.

I believe the replacement decision has already been made.

Quick question: how's the community support for Coldspring football?

Is this a school board problem?

They have a former AD/HC already on staff. Is that who it is?

PM me if you have an idea on who it is.

This town has always had great community support where if we had good or bad seasons.  Too many die-hard fans around there.  But this seems to be more of a school board issue and some than others have truly overstayed their welcome.

If it's him then it would definitely make sense.

I believe the definition of community support depends on who you ask. Can’t pass a bond to improve facilities because the “community” support isn’t enough. 
 

RR is the interim just like last time.

From what I've seen and know it was plenty "in the community" that was upset that this bond did not pass.  I saw the Facebook live when they had the presentation for it and what it would take to get it passed. 

[TxSportsfan80]

It was roughly 70% against for the second time and that’s with very little athletic improvements in the bond.

61% opposed and 38% in favor for the $50 million dollar bond.  With this amount I see why it did not pass.

[TxSportsfan80]

I do not disagree with that, there are better options for what they are wanting, unfortunately athletics will not be a part of any passing bond in Coldspring. At least that’s what I’ve been told from community members.

Same thing that I was told.  We've had those same facilities since 1999 with barely any upgrades.  I'm actually surprised that the front of the school looks like it does now.

The best football players from Coldspring are already going to Shepherd. 

What is really sad is that the rest of the football players will join the basketball players in Onalaska when they start football.
