dillonpanthers Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 According to reports on Twitter, Jasper has reasigned Barbay. Quote
Bulldogs92 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 I just heard about this and JISD is making a huge mistake... Quote
Uncle Pig Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 I don't get it; didn't they win the district this year and play pretty far into the playoffs? Quote
Bulldogs92 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Yeah. It's been that way ever since Barbay got there. He's the kind of guy that didn't see Jasper as a stepping-stone job and he would have been there a while. I can't cite a source, but I'm hearing that they want to split the AD and head coaching duties. It's disheartening to have to go through this again... Quote
The Icon Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 David Thompson of the Enterprise tweeted that a School Board member informed him that no one has been fired and Barbay has meetings with the Superintendent and School Board on Monday. FootBFan 1 Quote

I hope they find a way to fix this. Barbay might be the best fit for Jasper since Coach Walkoviak was there.... jv_coach 1 Quote
AHUDDLESTON Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 New superintendent in November from a large district with several high schools, 3 months later you get rid of a successful AD/HD coach? I don't know any details, but something seems off. I did some research and saw the Supe was not hired unanimously. Quote
geep06 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Posted February 18, 2017 Group has been planning for a couple of years. Huge mistake! Quote

I heard that they waited until registering to be on school board election time was up. I hope there is alot of write opposition in the election. Send a message. If I am not mistaken, Jasper has had a new superintendent three or four years in a row. Something isn't right in J-town.JMO Quote

AHUDDLESTON Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Just to put numbers to it: Coach Barbay - 2012 - 2016: 43 - 19 never fewer than 12 games in a season. 2007 - 2011 Jasper: 27 - 27 12 games one time, missed playoffs twice. Quote
oldschool2 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Word I got is that this has something to do with baseball. I heard that the Jasper people are pretty crazy when it comes to their baseball. Quote
WOSgrad Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Well, I am getting a bit confused here. While David Thompson and Art Lay are claiming up and down the Coach Barbay was not removed on Friday, posts here, largely from the Jasper community seem to indicate that Coach Barbay was removed. Do we know which it is? Quote
oldschool2 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 He will have zero problems finding a job. Quote

No doubt, with his coaching record (118-72, 41-32 at Hull-Daisetta, 34-21 at Anahuac, 43-19 at Jasper) he will rise to the top of a number of coaching searches. The question is will he have to? I might be reading this completely wrong, but Coach Barbay currently looks to be the middle flag on a tug of war rope with Jasper ISD administration pulling on one end and the Jasper ISD Board of Trustees pulling on the other, leaving him in what could best be viewed as limbo. Whatever direction the district goes in, they need to come out definitively one way or the other and soon. To do anything else would be patently unfair to Barbay as well as being disastrous for the athletic program, particularly the football part of it. Quote
oldschool2 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 This will come back to bite them. Good. Quote
dillonpanthers Posted February 20, 2017 Author Report Posted February 20, 2017 Yep...this may hurt them. He may give them the Fedora...they may keep him, then say screw this, I can find a better job. I don't need to work for a bunch of people who don't want me. Quote
WOSgrad Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 Well, according to a tweet by Thompson, the Jasper ISD super says that Coach Barbay is still employed with the school district. Quote

Well, he would be even if reassigned. Hence the work: REassigned. But that's the point. I doubt he's ok with not doing the job he was hired to do. I hope he resigns last minute, takes all his coaches with him, and puts them in a bind. Quote

I guess the old saying rings true. Only believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear. Quote
navydawg31 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Posted February 20, 2017 That last bit information on the article is interesting, leaves the door open on could be getting fired or nothing happening at all. The whole "At this time our plan is to evaluate everything," is very interesting... could be trying to budget cut or new supertindent could be trying to bring in their regime of people... but interesting to see where Jasper Athletics stands come Friday.
