Its money, its facilities, its alignment of the program, its teaching fields/loads for coordinators, its overall campus setup...so much goes into it...for example its tough to expect anyone to succeed at United when the kids are only going to athletics every other day..its like fighting w/one hand tied behind your back, especially in that district

So when is getting a better job with better pay considered a bad thing?? Isn't that what anyone wants to do?? Would you want your boss letting you go simply because you applied for another job that was a step up? I sure wouldn't! Most districts I work with have zero issues with head coaches applying for other jobs thats the cost of doing business in a competitve market like TXHSFB Head Coaches...where the issues with most AD's and admin comes is when you get an interview and you dont communicate that up the chain...but simply applying is a non-issue... I guarantee you those admins who are pissed about Graham applying out are probably putting in apps to better paying jobs as well...their names just dont end up in the media Regardless of personal feelings LaPorte (and Jasper) are better jobs than Beaumont United, better pay, better facilities and a better setup in regards to vertical alignment.

Its absolutely vindictive if thats the only reason why.....if Graham had an interview and didnt inform his boss of such then at that point I can understand a reassignment based on the lack of communication..but simply applying for other jobs? No way that's bad business IMO...but lets face it right now Beaumont ISD isn't a geat place to work if you are a HFC, so seeing their HC's apply for other jobs shouldn't be a shock

His name appearing on the FOI probably did him in...its one reason I don't request them publicly...you get people who are vindictive at times

Crosby has nothing to protest they were over the cutoff.....you can only ask to move to a different district, not classification....unless there's a big screw-up somewhere...I dont recall this Lumberton protest to move back to 4A

Jasper has already had their Feb board meeting so I would imagine they are very close or already have their guy....guessing they are gonna try and get a special board meeting called here soon to name the new coach

Hire will be Thursday

They havent hired yet but it'll be someone with ties to LaPorte

Killeen Shoemaker doesn't lack athletes FTR

I'm not a fan of Select 7on7 either

Definitely not giving up a source on a message board, but I feel confident in the information I received

State Tournament is June 23-25 [Hidden Content]

Interviews have started....one red flag for me is the interview panel had 12 people on it...way too many cooks in that kitchen

Someone has bad info

Didnt they figure it out the year before with Denton Ryan?

Never trust Maxpreps

We went for an hour and a half if you've got time to kill [Hidden Content]

Region II top to bottom isn't near as strong as it was a year ago....Ryan gone....College Station gone..Lone Star probably going to be a bit down...adding Crosby and PAM helps a bit but I think top to bottom its a bit down

They didnt two years ago

If you need some TXHFSB talk in the off-season Tepper and I give you some with the January edition of TepAndStepp for DCTF subscribers only. We talk UIL Realignment and some of the coaching changes that have taken place thus far www.texasfootball.com/article/2022/01/25/tep-stepp-podcast-what-to-watch-for-in-uil-realignment?ref=article_preview_title

I definitely wouldnt call Calallen the "barrio"

Sulphur Springs talent level is way down right now they'll struggle even dropping down to 4A...but there's some good groups at the lower levels...just gonna be about 3-4 years before you see impacts on Friday night

They changed the cutoffs in December because they jacked up the opt up process and several schools opted up late thus causing the UIL to balance out the division splits....they fixed that process this time and were very clear about the deadlines etc...Crosby's gonna be D1 just give up any hope of a last minute change I cant see it happening 10 days before realignment

That press release is dated Dec 10, 2019..the UIL made some changes to how they go about the process to prevent what happened two years ago....the odds of anything changing now are less than 1%
