It aint over until the fat lady sings...I'm keeping hope alive for PNG OL coach...I realize BISD hasnt opened the position to outside applicants at this late date. So the rumor is a Central assistant...

No news and next week ends the the school year for BISD.... Taxation without representation- Suggs is receiving the pay but not actually preparing Beaumont Ozen for the up coming football season....Well not surprised BISD was paying 2 head coaches during the McGee era until they settled with him. It's too quiet on the Pear Orchard home front. I thought it was quiet before the storm. However no one seems to be concerned. Did they cancel football and just havent made it public yet ? IDK does anybody ???

Welcome back Buddy...You all can give Nelson the PA job next year if PA dont win 22-5A like some have predicted lol....In all seriousness folks behind the curtain are about to make that happen if he's interested. Not a bad move or good move but surely not the best move. Its time to move forward and not be like the "Friends Of Distinction" "Going In Circles"... Ozenfinest you're way too young lol. Go to YouTube....

Again I happily agree that we can disagree and respect each other opinion. Your assumption is I havent been around Ozen long enough lol. I'll only go back to 1966 when Beaumont Hebert won state. I'll step up to 1967 when the schools intergrated. From then on Hebert had some great knowledgeable assistant coaches. The community never had a problem with the coaches due to their skin color. In 1973 we had a former Forrest Park assistant defensive coach Gary McKee that was solid. So not being around Ozen is somewhat not true. Yes he'd be the first head coach and so was Durley at WestBrook. Thanks for your analysis,i enjoy your unique enthusiasm...jmo...

I cant see very well, no intent to be offensive by the over-sized font.

You are correct in your assessment in part. Hiring PNG coach would be a huge step in solving the '"Woes'"that has lingered way too long. I have expereienced no indications or received no vibes that there would be resentment towards a coach based on the color of his skin. I honestly think the content of his character would prevail over the color of his skin. A competitive/winning program would cure any concern about skin color.I dont share your view that the suffering community would that biased in 2016. We need to stop settling for the quick fixes. It's great we can agree to disagree. This would be the right change. WestBrook didnt believe in Coach Durley's hire from the outset and all he did was build a solid program that the community was proud to be part of. Just win baby...jmo...

Ozen-Ozen,Smh stick a fork in me i'm done. The man behind curtain #1 seem to have made the recommendation/decision to hire from within BISD, thats from a not so reliable source however. It want surprise me if this prevails.The band aid fix wins out. Same song same singer is the front runner. I need some Jack Daniels to go with my popcorn. What a catastrophe.

West Brook varsity spring game@ 4:30 today was cut short due to inclimate weather(lightning). However WB looked like WB huge O-line abundance of players(Varsity) Approx.(70). Offense appeared to be ahead of the defense.

I hope you're in error. The PNG hire would be what the doctor ordered. If that person behind curtain # 1 blocks the hire he should be forced to retire. This is 2016...Remember The Titans...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine there is a problem and where it lies. Behind curtain # 1 is the culprit.

It's pathetic that the Administration/A.D. have procrastinated until the eleventh hour to do anything constructive to solve the vacancy at 5A Beaumont Ozen. Hiring from within the district and not opening the position to applicants outside the district is like putting a band aid on a serious injury.This quick fix will satisfy some and in two years this cycle will more than likely repeat itself. Just do the right thing and hire PNG O Line coach. I havent heard any community members express anything negative reference this possible hire.

Sir if you would explain "outside the district" I assumed PNG was in the district.

It's pleasant to know we can agree to disagree.I'm going out on a limb and say BISD should hire the PNG O Line coach. "If" they are sincere about fixing the anemic football program. If not continue to play games with the quick fixes the one and dones,2 and throughs.There's only one remnant of the Ms L regime that would attempt to block this for fear of success at Ozen. Campus Admin,Posse,and booster club members would be doing a disservice to reject this coach. "Remember the Titans" !!!... In Reverse !!!

Ozen doesnt do the hiring. I'd welcome PNG O Line coach with open arms in a heart beat. It's probably just rumor. New motivation is what the program desperately needs. Some of that Indian Pride and Cherokee spirit would go a long way...jmo...

"For every deed under the sun there's a reason or there's none. If there be one go and find it,if there be none never mind it."

Apparently BISD is honoring Suggs contract and apparently it aint urgent enough to buy him out (one months pay). Apparently the football program will continue to suffer. Apparently its a one way street and the kids have no rights or representation. I rest my case.

It's just sad nothing is being done and waiting until later will only compound an already disaster in progress. Where's the community leaders ???? This would not happen at West Brook or Central.

Smh so the board of managers and the AD will postpone the hiring process because Suggs contract want expire until June. Thats ludicrous and a recipe for failure. I cant believe the Ozen community,fans and booster club arent making a swift path to the administration office demanding action be taken immediately to fill the head-coach job. Hiring a coach in July is basically giving the new hire about a month to prepare for the season. Again a recipe for failure. Seems like there's others with the same agenda Ms L had. jmo.....

I respect your opinion in this discussion however Beaumont Central and Westbrook are members of BISD. Its no mystery why these schools dont have the turnover and dont have to recover from BISD "great tragedy"...Cool beans and the band played on ijs...

Everyone has the right to pursue whatever employment they desire. However its unfortunate that Ozen's head football coaches seem to bail out at the end of the school year leaving the program in limbo and administration scrambling to hire a replacement. The kids continue to suffer from this.The program was already on life support imo. Was there any explanation given why this resignation occurred at this late date ? This program will struggle to compete on the 5A level. Some seem to think this is the plan. Suggs opt to stay in 5A then 3 months later abandons ship.Smh....

6A #1 Atascocita- #5 in the Nation-(38-0) now (38-1) the best basketball team in the state of Texas per many got smacked by #4 DeSoto 73-54.... for the 6A state championship....Monumental upset....

You called it you're the man lol !!!!....See you in October.....

Elkins guard play will probably be the deciding factor down the strectch

Raining 3's making that move

45-33 Lancaster
