Bring back Jason Henry!!

I am sure this will work out well for Warren.

Oh boy, you Eagles really got your undies in a punch over all of this. lol. Stepp always benefits DCTF and all of TXHSFB. Anyone who thinks overwise ain't thinkin at all!

His daughter is a senior at BH and its February. They still have a house to sell and she's 3 months from graduation. Why wouldn't he just let her finish at BH to keep from disrupting her entire life because poor Poole's son didn't get enough playing time last season?

Whew doggie! I can forsee myself being in Mont Belvieu on a Friday night in October later this year.

Yes.

Frame it however you want, but for a school who previously lured Westerberg from Allen and Abseck from Cedar Park, this hire smells like a wet fart. Especially with some of the names who wouldn't even consider working there and the pending move to 6A, Poole may have banished BH football to the island of irrelevancy. There isn't a world where going from Abseck to Simper isn't a massive downgrade.

If this is the case, someone on here knows. Let that cat out of the bag!

Have they considered the coach at Clear Falls? He's a really good football mind, who is familiar with the rigor of 6A. No state championships, but everyone I've ever talked to who has known him speaks of how great he is. I think he would be interested.

He would be wise to give up the basketball dream and lock in with Football.

Geez.....

Boy, this has gone extra quiet. Guess it'll be that way until next week. Can't wait to see what they've pulled off this time.

This is a pretty sensitive response. We have all said they'd still land a good candidate and even gave them the leeway to make a major hire and have all of this go away. To ignore the messiness of this situation is a homer take and doesn't reflect objectivity in the discussion.

Grumbling about work hours from guys who have never worked at a State Championship level before. Everyone always wants the glory until it's time to put in the work.

This is the problem, Poole at BH has a massive ego and typically gets what he wants when he wants it. Kids don't want to cut their hair, well that is not an issue because he can expel them with impunity because he has the absolute 100% support of the community, especially the old guard "we can, we will we're Barbers Hill" folks. Even with the media crawling all over the district on the issue, he continues to operate the way he always has because of that support. I actually like that aspect of this community. Poole very rarely misses when he swings, so that breeds the confidence to make controversial moves whenever they may arise. It may even play into the willingness to force out a damn good football coach simply because his son isn't playing as much as Poole would like. He's done this same thing at least 3 times before and each time it has worked out beautifully because the candidate he brought in after the previous was disposed of was considered a big enough fish make the community forget about the last guy. This actually may be the first time he has run up against a chance that it won't end up that way. Trust and believe, if he were to land a coach with the last name 'Dodge' this offseason, none of us would ever talk about this situation again. The only conversation would be that BH somehow hired Todd/Reily Dodge, and they were on a Rocketship to the moon. It will be interesting to see how this one plays out because if it ends with a relatively unknown coach who doesn't produce the football success those in town expect, it could go sideways for Poole. I guess we will all be sitting around with our popcorn to see if he can pull another rabbit out of his hat.
