Hemphill HC

[TXHORN_ET]

Any news on what's going on in their search for a new HC? Might be only 1 person that can turn them into a winner again...former HC.

Quite possibly one of the worst jobs in the state at this point. It's a shame too, this was once a proud program not too long ago.

I think they are waiting to see if a coach from Jasper will take the job. Its his is the rumor.

Talked to a relative from there. Seems a lot of fans/parents and students were upset about the hc being reassigned. If the kids and fans/parents liked him, why reassign him? Something happen for that to take place?

Hmmmmm...vanya possibly?

Why would Vanya take this job? He could do better IMO.

They will not find a man more committed to Hemphill than John Launius was. Dumbest move they could have made. I'm sure there are some locals that were mad because the coaches son was the Quarterback. Such crap. John has always been a kids first coach. He learned from the best as a player for John Outlaw in high school. Hemphill made a huge mistake getting rid of him.

  Why would the school board do that if he is so well liked?

Everybody has an agenda, and some people swing a big stick. Small town politics at it's finest.

Yes they do, and that is why every coach done wrong by the agenda of a self serving school board has to suffer the consequences. As do all of the athletes negatively affected by those decisions, and the community that elected them. It is a sad situation for the kids of Hemphill and Coach Launius, both will bounce back a be stronger because of it though, just sad because it was a needless decision.
