I may have lol

I saw Chad Morris this weekend at a coaches clinic...lol

Some guys that I'm aware that were contacted were listed earlier in this thread I've been told two other Houston area head coaches who dont have state titles, but both have a lot of wins and a lot of respect statewide were contacted A couple of coaches in the college game were also contacted, both were TXHSFB head coaches, one who has multiple state titles All the people I'm aware that have been in touch would be elite hires...but gotta land one first

The way the supt is going about it isn't a bad idea, it is how I'd do it..proactively contact elite candidates, get em to apply and streamline the process....most of the time thats the way to go.... However with the way things went down w/Abseck and the bad press BH has gotten within the coaching community it may be best to take a different approach this time

Wonder what the breaking point is where they actually cave, post the job and go through a process...supt's definitely been working through the rolodex talking to high-profile coaches w/state titles and/or college experience on the resume..are there more names to call or do you get told no thanks enough to decide, "lets post the job, take applicants and see who wants to be here"

Welp Barbers Hill is on to the next the guy who was there last week said no thanks

Abseck isnt close to retirement he's applied for a few jobs already, he's not close to being done....Westerberg and Gage were definitely at or on the brink of retirement. The guy in the mix right now is younger than Abseck....he hasn't said no, but he hasn't said yes either

They did have someone on campus

Sounds like the big fish that BH circled back w/is still undecided...undecided enough that apparently the supt made a call to another former state championship coach today....that Coach respectfully declined

Warren is open....again

Bingo

Barbers Hill will get a quality coach, they pay too much...but it might end up this time being a guy on the tail end of his career looking to bolster his retirement... The last two hires have state titles on the resume...will this guy have that type of resume?

Just called a source and he's telling me said the aforementioned Gator also said thanks but no thanks...if accurate he'd be by my count the 4th guy already to say no thanks

You aren't the first person to mention that....he was a finalist for a big job in West TX last year so the math is mathing

Westerberg didnt have Kyler but Allen was still unreal after he left...14-1, 16-0, 14-1 in Gambill's first three years....Westerberg definitely wanted the paycheck at BH, but Allen is such a meat grinder now...I think he was just tired of managing a job like that....last two BH coaches have departed under what most would say are less than amicable terms....very interesting situation...they'll still get a good coach because they do pay well, they do have good facilities and a good set up..but a lot of candidates will be turned off also

North Crowley probably had the best individual crowd of anyone at the games.....Westlake's crowds are always mediocre...as was Vandegrift...it was really the 2 5A games that killed the crowds...

I'd call Jacody Coleman at Dallas Skyline and see if he's ready to come home...problem is I don't think he'd even consider going back unless a ton of changes were made in Bmt ISD and I just don't see that

Woodville had an amazing run, defense played well enough to win a state title....offense and special teams not so much.... OL got destroyed and there's not much offense you can run when your QB is running for his life immediately and you can't run the ball... A couple of guys went out early for Woodville and that didn't help. Coach Robinson is a guy who speaks his mind and wears his heart on his sleeve I'm sure in the moment he was disappointed...if you listen to his post game comments he said the right things and seemed gracious in defeat

That's a tough kick for a HS kid in Week 1 in the 1st Qtr after a timeout Much less in the state championship game, as time is running out on a fire drill

SOC horribly mismanaged the end of half situations

I think it just shows they aren't throwing many flags but consistently

3 penalties on SOC 2 on Randle
