All you guys are funny.  The job has not even been posted and Valastro has not even turned in a letter of resignation and you have the replacement in line.  Good stuff.  Lets all just hope they do the right thing.

Looks like its just a formality at this point:

[color=blue]The Texas High job is intriguing, but IMO, Coach T cannot hold on for too many years at WOS.  If Foreman can stay in the area, then he would be able to jump back to WOS when Thompson retires.  In the meantime, EC gets a good young mind who will advance their program to greater heights than it has now!  And dont' fire back with the argument that "we don't want a coach who has his eye on another job."  All coaches have their eye on the next rung.  It's just part of the business.[/color]

How intriguing.  I guess he better win a State Championship then. You cannot do much less and reach new heights..  What a statement.

Are you saying that all EC has to left to accomplish is winning a state title?  How about reaching the state finals? Or winning more than two playoff games in any given year?  EC has a great program, but they are far from accomplishing everything possible sans a state title.

The Beaumont Enterprise and texashsfootball.com are reporting via their twitter accounts that the Galveston ISD has approved East Chambers HC/AD Tony Valastro to be the new Athletic Director for the Galveston ISD and the new head football coach at Galveston Ball.

I will be the first to admit I have a dog in this hunt, but I can promise you Galveston Ball could not find a better coach and more importantly, person for this job.  Coach Valastro is first class and anybody that knows him would agree.  He will bring discipline, work ethic, intensity, commitment, etc. to the program.  He will make sure kids are treated right and place a priority on helping kids reach their full potential.  Great hire and hold on -  things are gonna get really good on the island.

Seriously...Coach Evans built the EC program and was putting up 10-2 and 11-1 seasons nearly every year.  Win the first playoff game and then bow out.  Coach V inherited a winning program and kept it going maybe losing an extra game or so each season and bowing out of the playoffs in the second round.  So back to the comment about winning state championships.....There is quite a bit of room for improvement like going deep into the playoff.  Whoever takes over is going to have a talented group of players ready to win.  I'm certain whoever that person is does not currently coach at EC.

Andy Evans did a fine job at EC, and has a record that would still be envied by many. AE took a program mired in years of losing and "broke through" in '95. AE and EC won some huge battles vs. Alto, knocked off Garrison in the first OT playoff game in the state of Texas (IIRC), but simply had the misfortune of meeting Mart too many times. Still, EC battled them hard everytime.

Then, lest people forget, Stan Howard came in (was it 2005?) and brought a ton of energy to the Bucs. That year Newton had just dropped to 2A, and everyone and their brother was expecting no one (including EC) in 2A to come within 50 points of them. Stans Bucs very nearly pulled off a shocking win though by leading late into the game before Newton barely pulled it out. Stans Bucs fought Mart hard before ending their playoff run. Stan was then "let go" due to no fault of his own.

TV picked up the program and it didn't miss a beat. EC knocked off favored Anahuac 2X, and ripped the District Championship away from Newton. In the playoffs, the first or second round history of reigning District Champion EC became "third round" of late. Had it not been for kick recieving miscues, EC could have beaten state finalist Cameron Yoe. QB Jones shredded the Yoemen for 250+ rushing yards, but EC gave away too many free points. I said before here and I will say again, "I would put TV's X's & O's up against anyones".

EC has been blessed to have 3 great coaches (Don't forget Stan!). I wish them all well and look forward to seeing the program achieve even more. Go Bucs!  ;D

Well said ECBucFan, having watched the Bucs play the Pirates all these years, and in the playoffs, EC has always been prepared and well coached, direct result of the Head Coaching.

I forgot about Coach Stan's quick stint at EC.  Both he and Coach Valasto carried on the winning that Coach Evans started.  EC will not have a problem replacing Coach V just like the replaced the previous 2 coaches and kept winning.  There is always room for improvement......unless you are stringing state championships seasons together like Mart did several years ago and Dangerfield is doing now.

I agree. AE started a winning tradition that still carries on today with a 17 year playoff streak, Stan Howard injected the Bucs with a energy and passion I hadn't seen before then, and TV progressed to the third round the past two years, losing only to S.C. Daingerfield and finalist Yoe.

If the ECCISD brings in the right guy, this program can definitely take the next step. Quite frankly, this is one of the highest coveted AD jobs in SETX, and will attract the best candidates. With an established, winning program at a good [u]school[/u], no doubt TV purposely kept his daughter at EC, and wasn't going to budge until graduation took place. Very glad to hear T. Foreman has applied!

Now that playdefense has given his endorsement, I guess it's okay to "now" speculate as to who or who should get the AD/HC job at East Chambers. ;) ;D

How about you, playdefense? You up for taking over at EC?

Whoever gets the job will have a long way to go to pass what Coach Valastro has done there. He not only has raised the level of play there beyond his predecessors but has built even better men. The biggest competition the next coach will have is the team real close. The basketball team.

It is noteworthy Valastro had some great athletes to work with that Andy Evans and Stan Howard didn't always have. Valastro came to EC when Tremaine Thomas was a Freshman, and also had Vance McDonald (both NCAA Div. 1, at Arkansas and Rice respectively), and current Sr. Hank Jones.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
