Dang, you must be the only one to see this as the School Board voted him as the next Head Coach. Rabb wasn't successful at WB after Chip left but there were other things going on in the BISD that effected his teams. Not a excuse just the truth. [/quote] Al Rabb is a great guy. He's not a good head football coach. Period. If you think the school board has ANY idea whatsoever what qualifies someone to be a head football coach in 5A, you're crazy. They picked him because they knew him, and they were comfortable with him, NOT because he gave WB the best chance to win every week. Case and point: Sam Simon, the head basketball coach has been there forever. He doesn't have the skill or discipline needed to coach at the 5A level. He should have been fired YEARS ago if the school board (or AD for that matter) were hiring/firing based on performance. He stays because he flies under the radar, and doesn't cause problems. This was likely the same case for Coach Rabb.

Maybe your talent in those dark ages sucked.  You can't bob for apples in a bucket of terds.  " just sayin" You should think the opening of Ozen to allow you playing time then.  Big red. They say what they want people to believe. For west brooks sake.  I hope there is someone needing a job just like stump was at Kelly.  Very hard to hope for lightning to strike twice. [/quote] I don't doubt that we were losing talent, but that's no excuse for how bad WB was.  There was SOME talent there. There were tons of good atheletes that chose to play other sports because of the lack of a program he had. Football was a joke in the early 2000s. [b] Shannon Boatman was a man child, played at FSU.[/b]  Quinn Pinson was an absolute stud before he got hurt.  But when he runs it EVERY STINKING TIME, it gets predictable. What Stump can be credited for is changing the culture at that school. He created a disciplined program that expected to win, and great athletes from WB and from Beaumont and general wanted to be a part of it. [/quote] I know Shannon Boatman's mom and have met Shannon several times. First, he played juco ball before going to FSU. Second, he is diabetic and for any athlete that is a challenge. [/quote] lol...O...K...? I don't see what that has to do with him being a really, really good football player. That's all I said.

First time poster.  A couple of thoughts: First of all, Consider the fact that Stump's wife is a big-wig for Exxon Mobil.  They are moving their company HQ to The Woodlands, which would be the most logical explanation for the move (as fun as the other theories are.) Coming from someone who went to WB during the dark ages of football, Al Rabb sucked. There are Flag Football leagues at any YMCA in the country that run a more complicated offense than he did.
