I inquired about the progress of the hiring.
  And was told  " [u]The committee[/u] spend all day Saturday interviewing prospects" "Fifteen planned interviews, and I suspect they have talked to most of them"  " I am pretty sure they are only interviewing on Saturdays, since the committee is made up of all working folks, plus administrators."  " Those being interviewed are mostly working coaches, who would not want to be known they are applying unless they are close to getting the job, so as to not jeopardize their present position."  " They do want to make a hire by the end of Feb."

  And MY response to him was... "Ok thank you. The only thing I don't really understand is the secrecy of who they are. I wouldn't want to be in a current job where it becomes in jeopardy for wanting to better my career. Doesn't say much for their current employers. Hopefully the names will be released soon."

Here is some of the list I have heard:

Craus Dayton OC
Chad Taylor LaPorte OC
Plano East DC
Sealy OC
Tobey Foreman
Jason Speights

I think 6 more could be added to the list but they have not been talked about as much.

The Plano East DC interviewed the best from my what I hear
[/quote] what kind of records do these you mentioned have? Other than Dayton's of course... mainly the Plano East DC. V Dayton's OC. considering Daytons record,  I would think Craus ( though I do not know how long he has been at Dayton) would be at the top.

If this is the list, there is no doubt, that Chad Taylor is at the top of the list.  He is from there, he is a great coach, and he is looking to put down roots.  Liberty already made the mistake of passing him up once, they shouldn't make it again.

I am intrigued by the DC from a place like Plano East wanting to come to Liberty.  Toby keeps getting the short end of the stick in these things.  He will get a job one day and will do a great job.  You just have to wonder, how many times we will see his name on a finalist list before he gets a chance.

Taylor is the guy. He will be offered, and he will accept.  He turned down the Hardin job last year due to money, he will not turn this one down.  If he had taken the Hardin job last year, he would be leaving this year to coach Liberty.  Great get for Liberty.  Hope Taylor can begin rebuilding a once proud program.

Just to clarify, my comment is not based on any type of inside information. Just simply my opinion based on things I have seen and heard over the past couple of years.

Well, its hard for me to see the DC from Plano East coming.  He will be leaving awesome facilities - indoor practice fields, large weight room etc.  Its a little different down in East Texas, community is not so eager to dish out money.
As for Taylor, its a maybe, just be careful when coming back to your home town.
I always hear Foreman's name, he moves around a lot in my opinion every year he applies for these jobs.  How many years of coordinator experience does he have ???
Dayton OC, I would not count him out just yet?
Speights, well its interesting, he is the most consistent.  He has been in several places for years as a coordinator and has had some success with helping kids.  He hasn't always coached the best team's record but he's under the radar in my opinion.  So when is the next board meeting?

[/quote]I don't know a lot about the plano east dc or Speights but I know Taylor and Foremen have done quality jobs as coordinaters at WOS and LaPorte. I have seen there teams in person and they are great quality coaches. I don't think it is always a bad thing to go back home and coach. As far as Foreman moving around, he was at WOS for I think 9 years and was a finalist for the WOS, West Brook, and Giddings jobs. I have also heard that liberty has been narrowed to three candidates, but I can't confirm that.

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      No doubt. It's definitely intriguing enough to watch how this all plays out...

      Baton Rouge split in half?

      By tvc184 · Posted

      We all know that each state has its own laws which can be very different, especially in endeavors like annexation or incorporation, so there is no telling what Louisiana law says. I don’t know but I doubt that there is a point of appeal for Baton Rouge to force St. George to be absorbed back into Baton Rouge by now giving them what they asked for years ago. “Oh, we lost? Well let’s just undo incorporation, ruled as legal by the Supreme Court (of LA)  by going back and giving them what they asked for”. There has to be a law allowing such an appeal. I think what I read about the lower court decisions which actually backed up Baton Rouge, they did not all rule that incorporation was illegal but that they did not think the city could have services up and running soon enough. So you have a court saying that sure you can split but only if we agree that you can provide services get enough. In Louisiana, who knows? I doubt that Texas has such a mechanism to allow a city to split, for example, could the west end of Beaumont say that they wish to make their own city against Beaumont’s objection? I doubt it. Certainly Beaumont could allow a city to be created as Port Arthur did with Bridge City and Taylor’s Landing. There is a huge difference in allowing and forcing which is what happened in Baton Rouge. Similar to the sometime discussed topic of Texas splitting off from the United States because they don’t like the way things are going, think if citizens in any city in the United States were allowed to create their own city, which could not be stopped by the parent city.  That could get interesting!! Don't like what is happening in the south side of Chicago? Just de-annex and create your own city!! Anyway, I thought that it is an interesting story when the capital city splits in half.

      What has happened to Jasper?

      By AggiesAreWe · Posted

      Wasn't that 1st round loss last year? Also, during those previous 10 years I am pretty sure Jasper didn't go 2-58 in district play in the other 5 sports.

      Even More From The Friendly muslims!

      By SmashMouth · Posted

      Ma'am, I don't think he said all Muslims were like that. If I'm reading this right, he's referencing the terrorist Muslims. You know, the ones who commit murder & have no regard for anyone who doesn't follow their jihadist beliefs...

      Great playoff run, no doubt.  They did make the 3rd round(1 less) 4 of the previous 10 years, only one first round loss. 6 district championships and 4 second place.  The only 4 years Carthage was in the same district. So no, I'm not sure it does make sense.
