PlayActionPass Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Considering the applicant pool for Nederland and Central, I'm guessing they are going to have to hire the Janitor at Lee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be surprised. There are worse ways to earn $95K a year. Tigers2010 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayActionPass Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I guess, I can't see anybody enjoying getting their brains beat in game after game. But, I'm sure there are a number of young coaches looking for that first chance and plenty of old guys looking to get those retirement numbers up.

If they balance the enrollment at all three GCCISD high schools, Lee will have a chance to compete. If not, it will be tough. Some coach will take a shot there. What's the worst that can happen?

He's not going to be a position coach unless he chooses to do so. He was not asked to leave REL. It was his choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blockdownandkickout! Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 they have been saying they will redraw the lines for 3 years now and nothing has changed.. even if you redraw the lines it doesn't help Lee immediately that would take a couple years. Whoever gets this has a long struggle ahead of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayActionPass Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Hearing Walter Fortune and the slot-t, any truth? camsdad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary-us-bonds Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Coach did not have much to work with. I thought the guys played hard for him. He didn't do himself any favors by switching up offenses right in the middle of the first season and on into the second season then switching back to the original offense in season 3.

The slot-t has taken many schools with a talent deficit and allowed them to compete. If they can control the clock by running the ball and play good defense they might be able to right the ship. Coach Fortune has never had athletes at either Tarkington or Hardin, so I'd be interested to see how he can do with a team with a few.

Most of their best players played both ways and injury to one player could hurt offense and defense. 2wedge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschool2 Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm sure people are lining up to go 0-10. I joke...but there probably are people desperately wanting that head job...any head job. 2wedge 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppermint Patty Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Former Gander coach Dick Olin made a plea in today's "Baytown Sun" for rel to finally hire Clint Riley. He felt Riley should have been hired to begin with many years ago. Interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt Riley should have been hired to begin with many years ago. Interesting. I would like to clarify my remarks that I made to The Baytown Sun concerning not hiring Coach Riley after my resignation. Coach Riley served the district for 17 years as a coach, teacher, and member of the community. His wife was a teacher in GCCISD and remains as such to this day. Coach Riley’s kids both graduated from Baytown Lee. He understood the dynamics of Baytown but more importantly, he understood Baytown Lee — the parents, the kids, the faculty, and the Baytown Lee culture. We had a good staff that functioned well together and was instrumental in any of the successes at Baytown Lee. We had developed a competitive program that saw a high of over 300 participants and a great deal of success during our years. With the addition of GCM, our numbers declined, as was expected. We competed but not at the level once attained. I referred to the decision to build a third high school as “death by design.” Had the board wanted to do what was best for the city, they would have accepted the One Plus proposal and combined Baytown Lee, Baytown Sterling as 9-10, 11-12 campuses. This was the recommendation of a panel of educators and community members that came after studying educational issues in Baytown for one calendar year. The board listened intently and then tabled One Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
