Has he decided what to do with the coaching staff yet?

Hearing Barrier may be in line for a better gig than Garrison, any truth to the rumor?

No, jdb44, the question was never answered directly. But, I do know they graduated 11 of 27 and the majority of touches on offense are gone. I know of both of the guys I think you are talking about and both would be great . They may be better that anyone that has ever been in Colmesneil. Not sure if either want to take on the daunting task of BUILDING a program from the sub basement up.

I actually think the arguments for all involved have been supported by each others comments. We all know talent is necessary to win and especially to win championships. Good coaching can overcome some deficiencies, but not a total lack of genetic makeup. Great coaches can develop talent if given the amount of time necessary and great coaches can scheme and put the talent they do have in the best position to be successful. Now after watching some Colmesneil film, there was more talent on this years team than many are giving them credit for.

Not really, but it easier to teach him to get in the way and sometimes that is all you need. And some of the best COACHES are not the winning-est coaches, this we can agree on.

That is very true. But part of the process is developing talent, putting kids in the best position to be successful, making the most of the skills that they do have and then getting them to give you everything that they have. That is coaching, coaching is not just X's and O's.

Yes, Oldschool2, talent does matter. It is much easier to win with talent. Yes, talent beats coaching. We have all heard the argument and to some extent it is true. But, if you don't think coaching matters, then you are wrong.

Not going to argue with you, but comparing high school football to the NBA might not be the best comparison. And to correct one misconception, Tyrone Swoopes went to Whitewright High School which has a similar enrollment as Colmesneil and they were still 1-9 his senior year.

You saying Larry Haynes is bring his talents to Dayton? I had heard he is unhappy with his role at Westbrook.

Coaching matters.

The whole point is that BISD is not going to let them compete with like sized schools. They are going to force them to play up a classification and therefore put them at a disadvantage on the football field.

Baylor is the better program right now. No way he flips.

When does the job close? When are they scheduled to start interviews?

Every Head Coach was a first time head coach at one time. They all have to get their start somewhere, and sometimes they even stay where they started. I think the most important thing for Colmesneil is to find somebody that will be truly committed to building something there and having success. Success breeds success, and they need to stay away from retreads. Get somebody who is high energy and even if he is in it to win and move on, the positive impact he has might stay with the kids and the program after he is gone.

I've always wondered why people would accuse a Superintendent of intentionally destroying an athletic program. The Superintendent is measured by success across the board. If a school is good in FFA, Choir, UIL, Band, Athletics and has high test scores then the Superintendent is doing a great job. We want success for all kids, that is why we are in this business. It should be all about the kids. Not a big Band fan myself, but i support those kids as much as anybody.

Not going to happen.

Yes, Purple and White with probably a Horseshoe and a stripe or two. But the fun will be back, they will be highly competitive and enthusiastic and tough to beat..

Would this OC from South Texas happen to have ties to the area?

In what capacity?

I'm sure he will do as well as is possible.

Does not sound like an enviable situation for the new coach.

Any news as to exactly what jobs are open in Jasper land?

Oh my, oh my

I agree that they fit better in 10, but keeping Region 3 and Region 4 even numbers wise is going to be tough. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in a couple of weeks.

Halletsville may be a bit over the top, but I know schools in that part of the world that have been having to make those drives for many years.
