Scatright Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I say we keep this thread on topic and leave the personal stuff out of it so someone doesn't lock this thread like they did the other one. I'm really interested in seeing how this is handled. thetragichippy and pob357 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigcam2903 Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 My kids attend Ozen, so I won't report what I hear of what happened because I didn't attend the meeting. Don't want any misinformation hurting Our Ozen Family. I will give any information I'm privy to if I'm in attendance of any further meetings if there are any. Please pray for our kids & we will do the same for yours. Thanks for all of your interest & concerns.

JustUs Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Per 12 News tonight 3-27-2014 Plez Atkins stated he's still Ozen's coach until fired by the BISD board and has hired an Austin attorney to represent him. What a twist of events ! Guess it aint over until the fat lady sings,payup or rehire ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRidge Posted March 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 Well, well, well! Maybe he just might be the next Ozen Head Football Coach! He's won as a player, a coach, a defendant and looks like he maybwin as a litigant! Hmm, he knows how to fight, that's one thing for sure! If TEA says he can Coach again then I guess whatever happened, he has met their criteria! Let's get this show on the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setxguru Posted March 30, 2014 Report Share Posted March 30, 2014 I may not be as in the know about the Ozen community as some on this board, but I would be shocked if any community would turn the other way so a coach with this kind of past can be hired. I know I would not be sending my child there, and especially not my daughter. Who cares if TEA says he hays paid the time for the crime. IMO that crime is not worth risking our children for. I hope Ozen can find a successful and morally correct coach! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Ozen can find a successful and morally correct coach! What if he hasnt commited a crime? From what i have seen in the past, if there is any merit to the accusations the TEA wouldnt come close to giving his license back. Has anyone researched or seen what the charges against him were? Just curious. If the girl recanted her statement then something isnt jiving there. pob357 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I'am with ya on this kicker. Kids have made up stories before to get back at a teacher they had a grudge against they dont realize the damage just an accusation can have on a mans career and reputation!

Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I havent heard pleasant things about this guy the past 24-36 hours from folks I personally know from the north-side of Houston. Very strange seeing as he was winning at NF. JRidge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange seeing as he was winning at NF. Hmm...makes it even more interesting. Something isnt right here. If all this talk about him is true, there is no way he would have even made a second interview much less board approval. I understan BISD has had problems but there is no way they disnt reasearch this guy. I just dont believe they didnt dig into his background. Doesnt matter if your trying to get a job at McDonalds or Google, the companies no their applicants history. Something fishy is going on here. Im sure the truth will come out eventually but i honestly cant imagine Atkins not telling the truth for the simple fact of being smeared all over the media. He had to have known BISD has a magnifying glass on them. What man in his right mind would put himself through all that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange seeing as he was winning at NF. People talk bad adout Jesus Christ and won't follow him, therefore you know we all are subject to ridicule. Accusations don't mean guilty. If someone's child accuse you of rape tomorrow and you know you were innocent, how would you want society to view or treat you? If you don't wear the shoes, you never know how they feel!

football Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I do not know what happened with Coach Atkins in the past. However, some people on here are saying he must be innocent for this or that reason(certificate reinstated, charges dropped, etc.). I have seen this happen before where the person charged just kept getting trial delayed and they finally gave up. I have also seen teachers have relationships where they were allowed to resign so they could brush it under the table. Only Coach Atkins, the girl and God know the complete truth.

new tobie Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I think with the hiring of Coach Foreman at Central last year the BISD proved that they can and will find a good coach...Bigger question for BISD will allways be "Can they keep a good coach?" I think with the BISD policy on paying it's HC the same at each school and not having AD's at each school they will continue to have to hire assistant coaches as HC, but with a little research thats not allways a bad thing. Of course with these policies it makes it tuff to keep those guys around once they have tasted success. They need another Alex Durley!

It was not stated statutory rape (otherwise he would have to register as a pedifile), thus the student must have been 18 years of age.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 If Commissioner Williams recommends a takeover, Deshotel and State Rep. Allan Ritter will help pick a board of managers, instead of school board members, to oversee the district. Takeover? Really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
