Stump out at Bridge City

[Cat22]

OF coach a BC guy?
 
I know Mathews is, but just can't see him leaving Vidor. They love him over there. He's been good for all sports in Pirate land.

Yep he is!

[AggiesAreWe]

That's the thing AAW, if they don't tie the AD job to this then the pickings may be slim!

 

No maybe about it. Pickings WILL be slim.

 

I see the AD attached to this job. But again, will be curious to see how this plays out.

I've got inside information saying the football team is and has been losing out to baseball for years so Stump getting can isn't a surprise.  He was fighting an uphill battle to of all things, baseball....

Who was the Coach win BC went to the state semi finals in the mid 2000's?

Claude Carver I believe.

[bullets13]

Dubois??? No way......

I'd be surprised if he'd make that move with another HJ team lined up for next year that is capable of being very successful, combined with the fact that his son is the two-year starting QB at HJ and will be a senior next year. I guess it could happen, but I doubt his son would be very happy about it.

[Tiger33]

Claude Carver I believe.

Do you know why they let him go? It looked like he was winning.

I couldn't help but notice that the press release mentions searching for a new football coach, but not a new athletic director.

[Cardinal96]

I do not see the logic in this move for the following reasons:

 

1. No doubt Coach Stump knows his Xs and Os.  That is undeniable.

 

2. His record is a result of scheduling several tough pre-district opponents.  He does not believe in scheduling cupcakes to pad his record.  He wants his kids ready for district.

 

3. The injuries to key players really hurt him the last 2 years.  BC is always somewhat short on talent, and to lose key players is a death nail.

 

4. He does right by his players.  He isn't the crazy old psyco fart like many of us had in HS.  I never heard him complain about tough breaks to anyone, anywhere.

 

The next Coach will inherit a good group coming up.  Many, many sophomores played this past season.  Stump was primed for 2 or more good seasons, only to have it taken away.  I'm telling you, many BC folks will miss him.  Some don't even know that yet, but they will.  "Going a different direction" may take you off the cliff.

I just remember they didn't resign his contract after the 2008 season.He moved to the Dallas area after that.

[mytwocents-28]

is Dubois from Bc?

Hmmmmmm I think he might be.....

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Wonder if a former HC from that area would be interested if he leaves his current job……..

Same here 85, theres much more to this........Whomever gets this job will struggle with the same issues.

[redbirdsrock]

Four out of nine starters on last years baseball team we're also football players.

[rvbulldogs]

Any Nederland Coaches available?

[Gabe]

Claude Tarver was his name. Think he left cause his wife got a job in Dallas area. That's only what my memory remembers, could be wrong

Yes, his wife got a job in the Fort Worth area.....

[Jwat222]

Isnt Beaver's (Dubois) father in law the mayor of BC ?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Isnt Beaver's (Dubois) father in law the mayor of BC ?

Hmmmm

[outanup]

Isnt Roccaforte the Mayor?

[mytwocents-28]

Yall are crazy if you think Dubois is gonna leave HJ for BC especially for his sons senior year....

[Gabe]

Yes but Roccaforte does not stick his nose in this type of situation. The district will do what the district wants to do

[AIW]

Don't need a history lesson! But if can't get the job done someone else will and obviously that's what the supt thinks. A new direction is a polite way of saying it ain't working!

There was nothing 'polite' with the whole thing. BC is a whole lot like 'Project Runway'.....'one day you're in ( the good ole boys' club) and the next day, you're OUT!!'

Seen it done before.

 

When opportunities arise, sometimes you have to make that sacrifice.
