CATMAN, That wasn't a slap at Coach Issacs at all.I think he is fine young coach and I know a ton of the parents at Spurger thought the world of him as did the players.I don't claim to know any of these youngs guys personal decisions but I like to see them move up the head coaching ranks once they get that first shot.He did a good job at Spurger and hope he does well at Big Sandy in the future.

I hate to see that, this is a good young coach.He has a lot to learn but was really good with the kids and is on his way to making a top notch coach.

Lots of GOOD jobs coming open !!!!

New Wavely will miss him, he ALWAYS had his team ready to play.

[/quote]I don't think the wage scale difference would be huge in 2 districts 10 miles apart and the cupboards haven't been exactly bare in Kountze.I hope Duane gets whichever job he wants BUT the Kountze basketball job is about as good as it gets in small school hoops. ;)

I've been doing a little research on the Frontier and have a friend that has a new 22 footer.It is built by Mr. Kenner and has a great ride and is built to fish.Biggest trouble I have had is finding folks that have them.

Gotta be a school district boundary line somewhere south of Beaumont regardless of what their mailing address is. ::) ::)

[quote name="stevenash" post="1025556" timestamp="1310918543"] translation- Joubert [/quote]Duane would do good job. I don't claim to know anything about the salary but the job would be almost a lateral move.Both are well established programs with perennial deep playoff runs.

Coach Bartlett always does a good job and Huntington looks to be on the upswing from what I've seen the last year or so .Hard to get a program on a top notch level when the head coaches seat opens up every few years.

Then they should play in Beaumont  ;D

[quote name="AggiesAreWe" post="1025540" timestamp="1310917170"] A local prominent coach is having a meeting tomorrow (Monday) with Silsbee admins. ;) [/quote]There are a lot of local prominent coaches in this area  ;D

Surely you can't just choose where you want to play these day, can you  ??? ??? ::) ;D

Been some awful good basketball coaches come thru Huntington over the past several seasons.They need to work as hard on keeping them as they do on getting them, JMO.

I stil like WOS for the third spot,they have a good young coach and a wealth of athletes but by even having this topic you can tell HF is turning their program in the right direction.

Coach Brooks did a good job last year when Travis had the health issues and is a natural fit.No disrespect to either of the coaches from Leggett or Spurger but Silsbee would be a huge step. [/quote]   Well Whsalum what about Lester King would it be a huge step for him.-----------NO NO [/quote]Don'tget me wrong CATMAN I didn't say the Leggett or Spurger coach wouldn't be successful,I said it would be a huge step and it would.Coack King's record speaks for itself but the surroundings would be entirely different at the Tiger Den than they are at Goodrich.If I were going to look strictly at small school guys (which I wouldn't just look at small school guys)I wouldn't overlook the man at Evadale,he did a pretty good job last year.All that being said I think the guy that deserves the Silsbee job is already there.

[quote name="nwbulldogfan" post="1025448" timestamp="1310868371"] We had the same situation in NW last year with our basketball coach. Another great guy and was very successful like yours. The community stood behind him as Kountze should stand behind Coach Joubert. Football it seems overrides loyalty, respect, success, dedication, and just plain doing the right thing. These adminstrators and school boards have ther own agenda and don't care who they hurt in the process. The kids are the farthest thing from the equation, it's what they want. I can't understand how you can lose one of the most successful coaches in the state for the sake of giving a mediocre football coach some extra money. athletic Director is an administrative position anyone should be eligible for it, to me that is discrimination saying it has to be the football coach. They come in stay a couple years and try to get the bigger job, they always do. [/quote]Can I get an AMEN !!!!!

Duane knows how to get the kids attention and gets them to buy in to his style.I think he would be a great fit at the AD.He probably knows more fooyball than any of the recent hires they have made.

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="1023784" timestamp="1310402319"] Lamar PA had its best season when he was an assistant for one year,  The recruits that he attracted have put a great stamp on an up and coming program.  The Head coach left and Lamar PA did notwant to guarentee him a contract so he did not get fired.  He was laid off with pay at the last private school position, which is not fired.  Wilmer Hutchingson was a strange issue at most.  They were winning at a new school before he walked his team off the court.  He has an opinion of what happenned and so does the school board.  He left Prarie Veiw to pursue head coaching on a high school level.  The Wnnie job was releavd of duties issue.  So I count relieved twice!  ;D [/quote]Come on ABSENT his one year as an assistant at Lamar Pt Arthur they were 2-17 I believe in conference and were 9-19 on the year.They brouhgt in the young guy that is there now and one 20 games the next season.

I fiGured Tremain would be the next head guy in Kountze and he may well be but they would do well to make Duane the AD.He is very familiar with all the sports and would bring a level of discipline they haven't had in some time.

[quote name="ABSENT!" post="1022782" timestamp="1310044586"] I know many of you dont like the guy but he has had success as far as winning at every program he has been apart of (as an assistant and a head coach)! The guys only issues is that I don't think he was ready for the politics of being a head coach and he did not know how to stay still. Other than that he is neither a bad guy nor a public travesty! [/quote]I personally don't have a dog in the fight however there is one small error in this statement.He was an assistant on the staff at Lamar Pt Arthur and was far from being in a winning program there.Every other position I had heard him mentioned in recently he left before he coached a game.I agree about the second chances but I'm not sure he would be the most qualified choice.

TASO usually starts their training sessions one night a week in August.They last a couple of months and will welcome the help I'm sure.They usually post the info on their web site.

[/quote] so, Is Memorial not in Southeast Texas?  ??? [/quote]I wasn't aware he was in the running for the Memorial job, I was afraid he was retiring after his health issues.

Paul will be going, but I know in the heck it will not be in New Orleans... [/quote]I knew it wasn't gonna happen just syaing he has stuck with a team his entire career and carried them to a couple of finals.I admire that more than going the Yankees route and just spending your way to a title.
