BILL JEHLING HIRED AS HAMSHIRE-FANNETT AD/HEAD COACH!

Why did he leave Cushing after 2 years as AD to become an assistant at Lumberton? I saw he was in the running for Woodville also. When he hired on at Cushing he stated his wife was from the Nacogdoches area and they wanted to be in East Texas. Seems Woodville is closer to that area

I'm wondering the same thing.

I've never been to Cushing and don't plan to but being an assistant at Lumberton sounds like a considerable upgrade over a HC in Cushing.  Cushing has about 500 people with an avg household income of $28K.  Lumberton has about 30,000 people (if you include all neighborhoods built just outside the city limits) and an avg household income of $45K.  Lumberton is recognized as one of the fastest growing cities in Texas.  Cushing, not so much.  And don't forget that Jehling was a finalist for the HC/AD job in Lumberton.  Had Babin not acccepted the job, Jehling would be the AD/HC of Lumberton.  Kudos to Babin for convincing him to come to Lumberton as an assistant.  It would have been nice to keep him for 2-3 years but we were lucky to have him as an assistant for 1.  Congrats to Jehling and HF.

Wasn't there some issue about a brother in law being on the Board?  Anyone think this could have been a problem?  Maybe the brother in law didn't want to get off of the Board.

Yes, but supposedly he is willing to resign from the school board but he doesn't have to do so until he is hired.
