I didn’t know about this. That’s crazy.

Ty Bryson for offense. I’m not familiar enough to have an opinion on defense.

Key question: What is Lufkin’s policy on coaching decisions re: the superintendent’s offspring?

Plot twist: Super makes himself head coach and finally realizes his son belongs on the bench. Fires himself for not playing him.

Exactly.

Art Briles is my vote

My mistake — These reports from multiple sources are all entirely made up. The superintendent is perfect, BH is a paradise workplace, and coaches are BEGGING to work there.

Your superintendent just drove off a good coach and is effectively drunk texting “you up?” to coaches to find a new one. “Embarrassing” is an understatement.

I’m not a BH guy. I literally couldn’t have told you the coach’s name until he left. I just know they have got a good base of kids and solid facilities, a lot of money, and a lot of growth. They’ve got a lot of obvious problems and their leadership is an embarrassing dumpster fire, but I still think they’ll be competitive in less than 5 years after joining 6A. We’re talking 6 to 7 years from now. A LOT can change in way less time.

Depending on the coach, I don’t think it will take five years

You overestimate how much anyone thinks about BH, for good or bad.

I’d also like to see that

What sticks out to me is the way the BH admin seems to be going about the hiring process. It smacks of (1) extreme overconfidence, (2) incompetence, or both. I may be wrong, but don’t schools usually proceed with some kind of system? That is, they announce the opening, put together a hiring committee, hire a consultant (if they want a consultant), interview the candidates, narrow down to a few finalists, and make a decision. BH doesn’t seem to be doing that. It all seems pretty haphazard.

I was agreeing with you, in case there’s any confusion

Exactly - Words don’t cost money. We can talk about it again in six months if people want to (RIP @purple eagle)
