Rumblings in Lufkin

[AggiesAreWe]

My sources are telling me Abseck may be out. He was given an ultimatum on firing his OC by the end of the week or he will need to seek employment elsewhere. 

This stems from fallout of discipline issues in game with La Porte and the OC having words with admins about it.

Word on the street has Abseck seeking job opportunity in Austin area and some Lufkin folks meeting with Pflugerville Weiss HC a couple of weeks ago.

Interesting situation.

Stay tuned.

I agree there are different rumbling going around today, hard to keep the talk quite in a small town. For my part I can confirm the OC Kuykendall was released his position this morning for the reasons you mentioned. Anything else that has transpired further involving Coach Abseck is unknown to me. I'm personally not in the market for change in HC, I think the two men have coached together 16 years, so we'll see which option he takes. Personally, I hope he stays in Lufkin. It's a lot easier to hire a new OC. In fact there's an assistant on staff now that could handle the OC position.

At this point I think it’s time to move on from Abseck too. This is just wild and not the first incident this season from what I hear. Will the relationship with him even be worth moving forward on? We have so much talent in the pipeline, the wrong decision will waste it. 

I was big on what he was building here, don’t get me wrong, but this OC is the reason he’s out at barbers hill too. He seems to sink with this guy. Rather than see the issue and fix it, he lets it come to this. Check out barbers hill, they don’t appear to be missing this staff at all.

There will be a full changing of the guard in Lufkin. More as it comes out tomorrow.
