Longtime Gander coach heads to the Hill By Dave Rogers Published May 1, 2009 Hours after he officially cut ties with Robert E. Lee High School, longtime assistant football coach Clint Riley was asked Thursday if he regretted not following former Gander head coach Dick Olin to Lewisville High School last December. Riley, a fixture at Lee since joining Olin’s first coaching staff in 1991, said no. But there was at least one what-if to consider. “It was five or six years ago when I turned down the Refugio (head coaching) job, which was a great 2A program,†he said. “I figured Dick would be retiring soon and I’d have a chance to be Lee’s head coach. I took a career chance and it didn’t work out.†Riley, a native of Blanco in West Texas, had spent the past several years as Olin’s assistant head coach and was named interim head coach when Olin departed. He applied to be named Olin’s successor and was a finalist for the job. But it ultimately went to Marvin Sedberry, Jr. Thursday, Riley signed a contract to teach health and coach football at Barbers Hill High School. He starts work there Monday. “It’s a great move,†he said. “It’s good for me and my family. We don’t have to move. I’m going to a winning program and I’ve got a chance to work at a school that cares deeply about winning in all sports.†Don Price, the Barbers Hill athletic director and head coach, said he intends to have Riley coach his offensive linemen. Riley, 45, was an offensive lineman when he played in college at Texas-El Paso. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at UTEP, then did a tour as graduate assistant at the University of Missouri before returning to Texas. He coached one year at Texas City before moving to Lee, where he spent most of his years coaching the offensive line. “I’ve known Clint for the past four or five years,†Price said. “I got to know him when Dick (Olin) was president of the Greater Houston Area Football Coaches Association and I was a board member. “He comes highly recommended from all the people in Baytown. I’m looking forward to working with him. He’s been a pretty successful coach and teacher over in that district.†Riley’s hiring at Barbers Hill has been in the works for a month or so but it didn’t become official until the school district there officially hired him at Monday night’s monthly board meeting. On Price’s coaching staff, Riley takes the place of Raul Yzquierdo, one of two coaches who resigned earlier this year to take jobs with ExxonMobil. Leaving Lee, Riley admitted, “is going to be difficult. “I’ve been there for 17 years, longer than I’ve been anywhere. It was a big part of my life – not quite half of it, but close. It’ll be different for me. “I signed my contract today and I haven’t had to sign a contract in 17 years. Some coaches change schools every two or three years. I haven’t done that, so it’s all new to me.†Starting his new job with a month left in the current school year will give Riley a head start, he said. “I get to meet the kids and the faculty, so when we start football next year, I won’t be a new person to them,†he said. But he couldn’t start his new job without one last look at the old one. “There have been a lot of great things happen at Lee,†Riley said. “I worked with some great people, guys like Marvin Guy, Gary Guy, Gary Herrington, Bruce Davis and Dick Olin. “I remember when we came there people said we couldn’t beat West Brook, that Lee was not going to be able to win again. So winning six district championships was big. Beating West Brook was big. Our battles with North Shore. I don’t think there’s a lot of people who beat them three times in seven tries. “The Lee-Sterling rivalry was fun. I think it’s taken too serious by parents, but the kids and coaching staffs had fun with it. We enjoyed that. “It’s too bad it has to end. But everything has to come to an end sometime.â€

It will work out!

Titans' boss ready for practice By Tom Halliburton The Port Arthur News Kenny Harrison has a few varsity coaching spots remaining undetermined but spring football starts Monday at Memorial with most of his staff intact. The 2009 Titans football candidates, with a few noteworthy exceptions, take the practice field from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. At least five significant football role players will be tied up with track and field workouts during at least the first two weeks of spring practice. Drills will conclude with a spring game on Friday May 29 in the PAISD Auxiliary Field at 7 p.m. Plenty of recognizable area names have filled Harrison's coaching staff so far, especially in key positions. Defensive coordinator Tony Brown, 40, has been Beaumont Central's defensive coordinator under Donald Stowers and also has served more recently as defensive backs coach at Converse Judson, a long-time San Antonio perennial Class 5A powerhouse. The fiery Brown has added spunk to Memorial's off-season football work in the last two months since he joined Harrison's staff on March 5. "Our intensity level has gone up tremendously since Tony's been here," Harrison said. "I've had the opportunity to observe coach Brown when he worked on Central's staff and he's well-organized." Varsity soccer coaches Brian Morgan (boys soccer) and Phil Mattingly (girls soccer) definitely figure to play integral roles in Harrison's staff, too. Mattingly will be an offensive line coach and Morgan will be a special teams coordinator and also may work with the defensive unit. The Titans' most intriguing staff arrangement will be Harrison's plan to deploy co-offensive coordinators. The Titans boss will slide former Nederland and Texas Tech quarterback Kip McFarlin into the staff. A former varsity assistant at both Nederland and Orangefield, McFarlin coached this school year at Memorial's Ninth Grade campus. McFarlin will share offensive coordinator duties with Verril Young, who has served as offensive coordinator and head track coach at Beaumont Ozen. Another familiar Golden Triangle face, Young is a former Lamar University trackster and an assistant at both Ozen and West Orange-Stark. How will the co-coordinator responsibilities be divided? McFarlin will oversee the running game and Young will oversee the passing game. McFarlin will be in the press box during games with Young on the sideline. Harrison himself is likely to take an extremely active role in play selection. Harrison's predecessor, Ronnie Thompson, did the same while Harrison served as offensive coordinator under Thompson. "I'm real comfortable with that arrangement," Harrison said. "I think that's going to be a great working relationship. Coach Young starts here on Monday. They're both very knowledgeable guys and I don't see that being a problem. I think it will be good." Six other coaches with Memorial backgrounds will figure prominently into spring practice. Plus, ninth grade and middle school coaches also will be involved during spring practice. "I'm looking to bring in at least two more varsity coaches but not until probably sometime in the summer," Harrison said.
