North side of Houston. No too far.

I know a coordinator from a relatively close school that has had some drastic improvements and success over the past couple of years has thrown his hat in. If Livingston wants to open up the offense they should look at him. Great guy!

Not sure how much community connections will matter in this hire since they are using a firm to do the hiring. Most likely the coach with the best resume will get the job. My money is on someone that has been a HC at multiple locations with some success. May workout or may not.

What programs in the area would you qualify as potential models to follow. I ask back to the question of high cost of relocating. You might get a HC to move but bringing his assistants is a problem. If you "steal" a vital member off of a successful nearby program you might be able to get some of the assistants to come to. No one man can turn a ship on his own. Gonna need a strong support system. Robinson in Shepherd has had some good years, Belt in Tarkington did well his first year, Woodville has been successful. Willis has been extremely good lately. I think a coach off of those staffs or the head guy himself would be a good target. Obviously some HCs on from those teams are not realistic but a member of the staff could be a big get.

The question now is does a coach with that kind of resume take a job in Livingston? Is Livingston a "Good Job"? A coach with a proven record of turning programs around and running them the right way will most likely be a top candidate for his pick of jobs. The other problem is guys like that probably have a few coaches that come with them. Does Livingston (legit asking) pay assistants well enough to have them move there? In today's housing (Interests rates) market it isn't as easy as it used to be to pick up and move. When I was high school our HC was fired and a new one was hired. There was like 8 new coaches that came. Does that happen anymore? In metro areas probably but in rural places probably not. Im sure they will have their fair share of candidates though. HC job is a HC job.

HF would fall into the category of need to just run slot t and yet they are opening things up from what I heard and are having a banner year. I think as long as the coach can get buy in from the players then it doesn’t matter but athletes get a ton more excited when you throw the ball around.

Is it allowed regardless of the reason?

A few years back one of the Hardin schools, maybe West Hardin, opted out of their UIL District and any chance of making the playoffs but still played football. They made their own schedule. I forget what it is called when a team does this but that should be the move for Cleveland. At 6 A they will never make the playoffs, so why not lower your competition and give yourself a chance to not get 70 scored on you everytime you play.

Young Coaches do it for numerous reasons. 1. Going from making 65K to 100K 2. Most desirable jobs want prior experience and often won't even consider you without it. Thats why the same usual names keep getting hired even after failing elsewhere. 3. They are young, energetic, and confident in their ability to right the ship (most likely overconfident) 4. Ambitious and Impatient

HC retired not fired. Pretty sure that job was his as long as he was willing to continue to work there. No coach is going to come in and win there at 6A. Best Cleveland can do is hire a coach that will come in and run a program that focuses on building up the players as good young men. Problem is they will only attract ambitious young coaches trying to climb the professional ladder (not gonna work at Cleveland) or older coach that is looking to boost their retirement ( might do a decent job if they care).

I don't remember Livingston ever really being a powerhouse but to possibly go 0-10 is alarming. I don't follow them tbh. Is it just a dry spell of talen that will swing back around or is this a dead/dying program? (ex: Cleveland)

Agreed. There's no way that can go unpunished. Also probably better monitoring of the handshake line as well will need to take place.
-
If Im not mistaken the HC for Cleveland was suspended from the game due to a post game incident with a parent from the previous week.

Absolutely BS! These kids will do absolutely anything they see on Tik Tok! My wife showed me a video of Little league kids doing this same thing a week or so ago. I honestly don't think this is a Willis or Cleveland issue, its a generation and social media thing. There you go got me sounding like my dad! Im sure kids will be punished as they should. Some Coaches will get their asses chewed as well but everyone calling for someone to be fired is a bit much. I would hate for the 10 second actions of 15-17 year olds affect my ability to provide for my family.

Guess Belt moved back to Tarkington. Last season he was at Anahuac. Anyways Tarkington has finally advertised a job. It was not for AD or HC. Instead it was for a Varsity assistant. POC was Joshua Bruce. So I guess you could assume he’s the guy.
