Hear they want to hire ASAP....

A name that continues to pop up is Huckaby. A former BC grad who is currently the assistant principal at Hull-Daisetta. Coach @ Omaha Paul Pewitt before then and used to be HC/AD @ Hardin-Jeff before Pat Fischer.

Good Coach!!

I remember Huckaby when I was at HJ.  Great coach and a great guy also!!!!

true,he has learned from one of the best coaches to vist this area... Bruce Webb, now at Converse Judson..... is he going to commute or move?  Isen't his wife a principle at Hull? Also I think his son is a SR.?

If he has not changed his offence, OF will still be running the option and boot leg.

Just curious, was there no intention of Stewart taking over at OF?  He was already there and that would have been an easy move, plus Stewart could surely handle the position.  I know Mike is headed for Kountze, just wondering if that was ever a possability.

When is the last time O'field made the playoffs? I thought they were supposed to be headed for 2A soon?

It was pretty recent and I think they lost to well known team in the last second in maybe round 2 or 3.

Lost to LaGrange in the 2003 Area Round 17-14 on a last second field goal

Which they shouldn't have had because we shouldn't have thrown the ball!  >:( >:(

Believe me I've replayed those last few minutes of that game thousands of times in my head. Tied 14-14 we have the ball 1st down at around their 9 yard line with around 2:00 left if I remember right. Run the ball three times to run the clock down and if you don't score then kick a chip shot field goal to win the game. Instead we throw an interception and the next play they break off a huge run deep into our territory and run out the clock and kick the game winner.

So back to the subject who is the front runner for this job?  Heard Huckabay but didn't he turn down the Liberty job a year ago, maybe he is done with coaching!

    • 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.
