As a coach of 40 years experiencing the Houston area and some good years at Crosby, I agree with 14.2, 💯! The problem with a lot of coaches is they defend other coaches no matter what. And that has hurt our profession. And I’m talking about the Texas High School Coaches Association who often cover up poor or bad coaching with good old boys, or even worse coaches who actually hurt kids. Yeah it goes on, but you never hear about it because school districts don’t want to get a bad wrap. To me, it goes in this order for success at the high school level 1) great head Football Coach who is also a good man ( very important in my book) 2) great defense coordinator 3) solid offensive scheme 4) Great quarterback, and running back 5) all other athletes on defense again, I would like to say that the quality of Head Coach is out there in Texas is great, it may be better than most states. I’m in Louisiana now and I plan on going watching some high school football around here. But Louisiana is a different animal because you got so many private schools and so many athletes that get scholarship to private schools. Texas is very unique. I became a coach because my father served in Nagasaki and had radiation and chemical poisoning which made an alcoholic. So my father was my Football Coach who became the head coach at Waco.Midway one of the most successful in central Texas history, Kent Bachtel. But unfortunately, just like it is in the construction petrochemical and business industry. A lot of good old boys, hire good old boys. You never really know who is in charge of hiring because it differs in each job.. sometimes a committee has power, sometimes a soup, sometimes the owner of the Chevrolet dealership has the power! seriously it changes with every hire. But if you don’t get it right, you can screw up a great system. FYI, of the 11 head coaches who might work for as an assistant, coach, assistant, Head Coach or defense coordinator, two were great men, and both were very successful at training, young men to strong men, and also by wins on the scoreboard. The other nine, seriously, if they were on the ground burning, I wouldn’t urinate on the stop the fire. And I’m not exaggerating. But they kept getting head jobs because they were in the old boy network names here in Southeast Texas. But they taught young boys— not good things but they could sell themselves to the superintendent, board or public. See Tom Herman , Jimbo and Irving Meyer as examples. Sad but true

Yeah, actually it’s not that big of a deal because you are in superintendent and most of the departments or assistant superintendent are already there with the job description. To me would be much more of a problem if I high school principal left or Head Football Coach left at this time.

I remember some of those Katie La Porte games, I was at the game I believe in the playoffs when it was done at Memorial Stadium off of I 10. Can’t remember the name of it. It’s where former teammate Craig James played for Stratford all of his games. Anyway, those were some great games And I remember watching a great coach team get beat by an even better coach with a little less talent La Porte team. Great memories. i’ve been in Texas the last two weeks I didn’t get to attend any high school football games, but went to University of Texas and Colorado State game and just watch some games but if All still in Texas, I would love to go see the Hill versus La Porte. Hill has one of my former players, Chance Nelson , coach of wide receivers, and I’m familiar with La Porte‘s offense. In my opinion, Coach needs to open it up a little bit to make La Porte really dangerous. He didn’t do that at Dobie with a lot of talent. He was too predictable a teams good defense coordinator could defend them very easily! He leaves a lot of points on the field with his lack of innovation.

Oh, I forgot to tell you this morning. I went to racetrack to eat breakfast here in Chase Bell or Bill Chase I get him confused, anyway Raceway got great breakfast. It was about 7:30 in the morning and there’s a group of 10 Hispanic young man down in about three cases of Modelo’s, they just got off the night shift. They were all graduates of North Shore high school a couple of football players one baseball. So we talk football And North Shore Texas high school football. I wish I got a picture with them, but I was in a hurry breakfast and and get my three hours of sleep before coming back to the afternoon shift. They talked about the great rivalry they had Duncanville. And they hope they play again this year.. The smell of humidity in the morning with fresh cut grass, we are blessed by God to be able to participate in such a awesome sport! Long live football

Hey guys, it’s been a few weeks since I’ve checked Southeast Texas football. I’ve been working my ass off here at this natural gas plant south of New Orleans, seriously haven’t had a real day off in six weeks. Working 13 – ones and on the ones I’ve had to drive back to my hometown Marlin pick up crap and then drive back. That’s a round-trip about 18 hours. so I’m just trying to catch up on my breathing in my sleep. But man Football‘s around the corner. Up here the LSU talk is hot and heavy and on the local Espn station they have some High School talk from here Louisiana but yes, I did get my Texas Football. And I go to breakfast after work from 330 to about 730 to a lot of the local eateries here in Chase Bell, St Bernard, Port Sulphur and I always have my Texas Football magazine. And all these football guys Are very impressed about size, come on guys we like that size even though usually we lie 🤔😆 . Anyway, can’t get any more ready for football. Over 40% of the people getting on my bus or from htown and former football players and we talk football on the bus trip along with the little Astros. Got some Louisiana guys too big on LSU and actually got a lot of Tulane people here. The parents of the Holy Cross high school receiver that’s gonna go to H with the former Tulane coach. Look out you, UH maybe pretty awesome in a couple years. I’m going to start a blog in a few weeks on the app called Substack called.” Fire the Coach”. Please read along and tell me what you think.

Sorry the former helluva player of mine at Crosby is Cougar 14:2! Smack talker, great athlete, smart, son is a rb at Crosby senior i believe unless he used nil transfer. Helluva powerlifter,,qualified for state i believe at the most competitive weight- outside linebacker weight 175! Jalen Hurts was also a helluva powerlifter. Did great at regionals but just missed state

Oh yeah, hell yeah as a 40 year coach in East Terrace county and a graduate of great football at Marlin High School. I know in Belleville y’all got great football. Good luck on your season. I’m gonna enjoy it from here in New Orleans as I work and understand I’m 63 going on 23 and a little bit of a smart ass, my coach y’all favorite I think his name is Cougar 23. That boy can talk to smack but he was a hell of a player that Offensive Coordinator screwed over. Seriously he was jealous of him because of the girl he was dating and he wouldn’t give him the football. I could change stories how men have let their feminine emotions get to them in football and screw things up. Anyway, I smell that wet grass in the morning and feel the sweat of forehead can’t wait football star I’m a crazy guy go go Aggies go LSU, go Texas go Cowboys go Saints. Do you think I like football?

Why I can’t lie to y’all, this is Coach Bear and I started this topic. South of New Orleans working here after 40 years of coaching piss cause I hadn’t got my Texas Football yet. But I saw Dave Tepper delivered to y’all. Great job. I got that beat this morning, after doing my morning bus run at the construction job here in Port Sulphur Louisiana. I drove up to my travel trailer. There is a limo, and guess who gets out Roger Staubach and Earl Campbell and Dhat Nguyen, followed by my teammatesin the 1979 THSCA all-Star game in Fort Worth, Erik Dickerson and Craig James, then it’s kind of like clowns coming out of a car, 2211 for offense and 11 for Defense Victoria’s Secret models came out and finally they presented me my Texas Football magazine. Then the heavens opened up and the Angels sing hallelujah I was going to attach a picture that I took sitting on my toilet reading Texas Football but it said the file was too big, I understand that because I am Ukrainian and you know the saying once you go Ukrainian the love connection makes you insane again. Just saying. — Seriously, Football right around the corner and I’m excited

Yeah, this is the response that I’m waiting for an answer for. I emailed them yesterday and yet no response. I know I’m in. I’m just like a little kid shuffling my feet in my transportation bus waiting for the Magazine. Ever since I was born in 1961 high school football crack cocaine for me And I need to fix

Yes i updated to Louisiana and thank you. I will email them tomorrow.

Yes, I put the Louisiana address on there for delivery. I am renting a camping trailer for the next three years so all my mail goes to the main office. I’ll check again tomorrow. But Covid is kind of screwed up sometimes with the mail. I hated seeing the Aggies lose last night. You know I’m a longhorn graduate, but I support LSU, aggies and horns! Just like I support the Cowboys, the Saints and the Texans. You don’t know how much I hated Bill O’Brien and How he destroyed the Texans. The only reason he had any like success as often to Coordinator Alabama is because he had that hell of a quarterback. Oh well, enough with. Let’s just spread the love of Football, 7 7 championships coming up. Take care of Texas miss you a little bit but here in New Orleans the food is great. The money I’m making is fantastic and the women love to dance are beautiful. I’m 63 going on 23. coachbear the urban farmboy

Yeah, I thought we were supposed to get it a week or two before it gets on the shelves. Maybe because I’m in southeast Louisiana they’re treating me like secondhand news ha ha. I am excited for the football season though cause I get off in the evenings at about seven, so I’m definitely gonna go watch some local sports, local football. I’ve already sat down and down on the board and Chalktalk with Head Coach here at Chamelle Louisiana next to St Bernard. All my workers transporting to the LNG natural gas plant ( supposedly biggest in the world- same as golden passage at Sabine Pass but managed better)are former football players from Texas Missippi, Bama and Louisiana and some of them actually miss it , games and practices as they are sweating on the job. Football brings us all together. I’m always asking Football trivia. Can’t wait for it to start, but I want my Texas Football magazine.

Good morning from beautiful New Orleans, Louisiana. Football is pretty ramping around here too just like it was in my 40 years of coaching in Southeast Texas but I am waiting on my Texas Football magazine. Does anyone know when the early subscribers will get them in the mail? I’ll plan on watching some Louisiana football this fall as I work seven days a week, and then I’ll watch it on national Federation of high school all the Southeast Texas football. I always cheer for everything, Texas, Louisiana because I’m the crazy guy. I’m a UT graduate my son graduate from A&M and I had four players play at LSU in the 90s. I like the Texans and the Saints and I am a Cowboys fan since the mid 60’s even though it ain’t looking good with Jerry doing Jerry. Can you smell it, early morning, humidity, wet grass, it’s almost time ! Arnway Nepomora! coachbear the urban farmboy

Wow, I miss the site. Love all the talking that goes on, some of it true some of it made up. Just like being at the barbershop Haven’t been on it much in the last year. I was a Northern Nevada driving miners into the gold mines. And I have moved from Southeast Texas, leaving the Houston area after 38 years of teaching and coaching and stuff back to Central Texas. Lots of great schools here to like Franklin and Mart, But will keep up with Southeast Texas and drive to a couple of games. Really looking forward to the Crosby Barbers Hill game. Crosby because a lot of my players from my defensive coordinator days have sons that are on this year’s team. And Barbers Hill Because, one of my former players, Chance Nelson from Baytown Sterling, is coaching receivers at Barbers Hill now. This will be fun to watch. Keep up the trash talk, makes it fun! Go Texans, Go Jets, Go Longhorns AND Aggies ( and Nebraska, I am a big fan of Rhule and he is heavily recruiting Texas, just signed an offensive lineman from Klein Cain top recruit whose dad I coached at defensive end and played for UTEP if memory serves me correctly Big 10 west is there for the taking) and Go Cowboys just afraid of our HC calling plays when he can’t manage timeouts
