From what I have heard there has been no final decision made and there was around 40 applicants. Hopefully the decision will be made and finalized quickly so the transition can begin. Coach V and Cauthern have already left for Galveston Ball.

Russ Sutherland? Hope he is ready for Texas High school football. Louisiana 5A stadiums are about the size of a small school 4A Texas school. I watch Barbe and Sulphur the last few years. Its not a Beaumont bowl or Midcounty Madness. Anyone know his record at Sam? I'd like to see one of the local schools play against Sulphur.

Are you serious?  So the size of a stadium or crowd has something to do with someone's coaching ability?  Just because you haven't heard of him means very little.  Funny thing is, those in the football coaching circles all know who he is very well.  He has had great success wherever he has gone.  As if Louisiana just has terrible football.  ::)

Don't matter who called what when. Bottom line is that RS is apparently the new EC Coach, and the thing was wholly telegraphed way ahead. All I gotta say is "Go Bucs"!

    • 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.
