Hemphill head coach out!

[ponderossa]

Thoughts?

I did receive a message from the parent of a Hemphill athlete that Coach Ken Stanley did resign his position as AD and Head Football Coach today.

I always found Coach Stanley to be a personable man and I wish him well in his endeavors.

Politics as usual.... Applicants beware!!!

I wish this guy the best.  He probably knew it was coming..........I just hope the other coaches on staff don't go through what the last group went through.

I posted the above talking about certain people in the community.....ultimately the coaches, their families, and the kids suffer.

Although I'm sure you won't need it...Good luck Coach Stanley!

Every body in Hemphill though the coach was doing a great job  last year when Justin Twine was tearing the field up LOL.

I cannot believe this.  I have known Coach Stanley for over 10 years.  When he initially got the job I had an opportunity to come along.  My life was in a place where it could not happen.  Ken is an awesome coach and is great for kids.  Hemphill will struggle to find a Coach of his caliber.

[Guest momof2hornets]

Hemphill believes you must move here in order to be a coach or superintendent here or you can't give 100% to the school and community. Why would anyone that's not from here or have family here be expected to uproot, buy a house and move to such a desolate place an hour from any thing? But that was only part of the reason. He is a good coach. Maybe "they" should figure out that they are the problem. That's why I said applicants beware..... It's not all in the contract.

I know two coaches who bought houses there,tried to be part of the community and even had their kids going to school there and when they decided to clean house they made those guys hit the road.  That was just an excuse for the them to get rid of this guy.  Who wants to move their if they are not "hometown" guys????????  SO they can live there 2 years and get fired???

I read on another website that certain "powers" are waiting for their kids to graduate college and give them a job at Hemphill coaching. These guys hired now were just place holders until graduation date. Who knows what's going to happen. Changes need to occur and not just in the coaching staff, but nobody cares enough to get out and vote!

No way.  If the parents are on the board, they cannot hire their children, or any family member for that matter.  I think it's a law.

[Guest momof2hornets]

That's correct...but our little town has found a way around that....when they want family hired they step down until family is hired and then get put back on. It's happened quite frequently the past few years. Other members will "step down" early so that select members can be appointed by the President. That selected person is always someone that will vote the same as the others. That's the loop hole they use. Pretty clever because they know there's not a high turnout for school board elections.

Wow.  Sounds like you guys need some TEA intervention.
