There isnt a snowballs chance in hell that lil Napoleon (AD) is going to hire a baseball guy for the baseball job. He will be sure to hire a football guy. There will be no push to make baseball competitive. This is terrible for baseball kids. It is totally unfair and should not be tolerated. If I were the parent of a boy in the EC zone that likes baseball, I would seriously consider moving.

Well lets get this right.  Koch was the head coach.  He had a lot of football experience and some baseball.  His teams would go to the playoffs.  Mozely comes in with tons of baseball experience and some football, but can't finish no better than 4th in district.  You people are blowing this out of proportion.  Trust me Valastro is not going to do anything that would hurt the kids chances of winning in a sport.

BUCman, his second season's not over yet. Maybe the Bucs will finish second this year. However, let me say that I am almost certain that having sought and hired some of the brightest minds and best coaches in 2A football, ECISD would surely hire a suitable baseball coach with baseball experience that would take the team as far as they could. Wouldn't they?

Yes Melanie they would hire a suitable coach that would take them as far as he could.  You look at most of the high school baseball coaches in Texas and their main sport to coach is football.  The only time you get into where there is a baseball first coach is at 4A and 5A schools.  at smaller schools its gonna be football first, then their second sport.

I think shane whinchester should apply for the job..............His baseball knowledge is very well known around southeast texas. starting softball pitcher for a D team and can flat out stay back on the slow pitch softball.

I dont know anything about why the present coach is leaving, could someone please fill me in. Also, I will guarantee you that when it comes to EC athletics, the AD is thinking about football, football, and football. The 'most qualified' applicant will be the one who knows the most about football, not the one that knows the most about baseball. They should hire a baseball guy who also coaches football, not a football guy that can put on a baseball uni and make out a line up. EC would never hire a head football coach who must know more about other sports than football, that would be absurd!!!!!!! This is a truly sad situation for the baseball players in East Chambers, thats for sure.

Wow!  Lil' Napoleon?  Is that his handle out there?  Unfortunately, and i have been a casualty of it and have seen it happen dozens of times, in a small school football knowledge usually outweighs the other sports knowledge.  Now, if I am not mistaken, doesn't Hank H. not coach football out there, or very little anyway?  I saw him keeping stats at a couple of games I went to and he walked the side lines hoping like heck that TT or some of the boys didn't get too banged up outon the field.  ;D 

Best of luck to this situation.  There can be a happy medium, there are some great second sport coaches who happen to be great football coaches too.

I don't know that I understand or agree with that logic. However, y'all know that I'm not smart enough to argue the point. I just can't see the AD, the admin or anyone else hiring anyone but who would be the best coach for the job. I thought they did a decent job hiring Mozley. I'm sure the next one will be fine, as well.

I don't know that you're right or that you're wrong. But, from where do you gather this knowledge? I only ask because you claim to NOT know much about the specific situation regarding this baseball coach. I don't suppose it really matters. But, it appears to me that this school district is pretty high on the AD. Re/ Mozley's reason for departure, there are but a few who know the real story and they don't seem to be sharing the info. What I know about the situation is little more than folks' idle speculation for the most part. And really, if you think about it, who wants to stay where they're not wanted? I wouldn't. Mozley is young, appears to be a decent coach and will be plenty happy somewhere else.

Very true and a good point.

      It's a great day in SETX!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      The locals have almost finished firing the first ever Speaker of the House from Southeast Texas upon direct order of Trump and his minions.   It's a sad day... Locals have decided that being represented by the most powerful man in the House didn't mean anything.... they'd rather a political novice to represent this part of SETX.  And why is that?  He wasn't MAGA enough for them.  Who cares that it will hurt locally... What Trump says, goes.     Just yesterday I saw Trump on television demanding that we fire Phelan... How he's a RINO, weak on the border, etc... why?  Because he wouldn't overlook the criminal actions done by Ken Paxton, one of Trump's key supporters in the effort to overturn the 2020 Election and allow Trump to remain in office despite the will of the voters.   Trump never even mentioned Covey's name, and I doubt he would recognize Covey if Covey walked up with a cup of coffee.  Who cares that it's bad for SETX?  Not the R voters from SETX!   Then I saw Covey's preacher on a different ad tell a bald face lie.  Why should Phelan be fired?  "He put Democrats in positions of power in the House."  Really?  That's been the position of BOTH parties for as long as anybody can remember.  They ALWAYS give the minority party committee chairmanships.  But in 2022 the Rs decided that the practice should stop.  Democrat voters should not be allowed a voice in the crafting of legislation if there is a single majority Republican seat in the House, according to the Rs.  Representative Government?  Never heard of it, huh? Never did I believe that we'd have an abortion ban, constitutional carry, huge cuts for school property taxes, and Texas law enforcement being greenlit to enforce immigration law.  But it all happened while Phelan was speaker.  Without a doubt, the most conservative Speaker, ever.  But still a dirty RINO for not being MAGA enough.  It would be funny if it weren't true.   I've been following politics long enough to remember when Rs couldn't get elected in Texas... I'm confident that we're headed back that direction.  I mean, it's obvious that with population shifts we'll be turning blue eventually.  I think that the behavior of the leadership of the Republican Party is going to cause that shift sooner than expected.  I won't be surprised to see Democrat Senators and possibly even a governor elected within 12 years.  Maybe less.  The Rs will be a party apparatus without a voting base behind them.

      The game will be live streamed for those that have Game Changer under the Chester team thread.  I believe the radio station out of Palestine will have radio broadcast.
