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.

This was sent to me from the Lufkin Sports Forum:

Tough news tonight. Coach Carl Abseck will officially resign Tuesday as AD and HC at Lufkin High School. Coach Matt Kuykendall left this morning. Also leaving will be Coach Chris Fudge who came with Abseck.

Coach Abseck spoke to the Panther team this evening.

Coach Danny Cowgill will remain as interim HC until a new HC and AD ae found.

There has been growth and progress in the football program in the two years with Abseck, the sub-varsity teams have grown in numbers and talent all because of his work. This is all new to me so I will post the official news later. I want to express a big Thank You for his time here and it's been a privilege to know him these past two years.
