If he had no intention of leaving West Brook, then why did he apply for the Lamar job? 

Put yourself in his shoes, a chance to coach at the next level, and if you are successful (which he has to believe he will be) you then have the opportunity to coach a bigger program. 

What high school coach, especially one with prior college experience would not want to have the opportunity?  If Todd Dodge would leave the Southlake Carrol job, there is nothing holding Stump to West Brook.

And if it's not Stump, great - he's doing great things over there, and as an alum (class of 94) that makes me happy.

the job may not be as attractive at this time as he once thought. Remember every coach has his own threshold level of support required for them to be comfortable with the job. Plus, the longer Lamar wait to annonce it's is less likely he will leave WB.

Jack Doland was my favorite. Coach Boales in 82 was from Jasper, also the Head Baseball coach at McNeese plus the golf coach.

Tommy Tate played for Coach Doland.

Anything being said? Any time table being put out about a possbile hire date/start-up? I know you don't want to rush the process, but give us something?

As of Saturday Night, Lamar is supposed to hire a coach sometime from May 12-19.

    • Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.
    • I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.  
    • He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up. 
    • I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success. 
    • Classic Bridge City.  Always someone else's fault, refs/umpires cheated, AD with an agenda, yada, yada, yada.  As far as I can tell it's damn near impossible to get fired at these schools so when someone does get fired, it's usually something.  Drama at Bridge City is a constant.  The guy did a good job coaching basketball and I'm sure he'll continue that somewhere else.  Time to move on.
