Not the first person I’ve heard/seen make this statement. Craig will be fine. Played for the man in the mid 90’s and those that underestimate him are sorely mistaken.

That's the think y'all don't understand about the guy. Jones doesn't concern himself with what looks good or what people think about him. He concerns himself with what is best for the kids and this was best for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I support Jones and all his decisions because the guy has been a winner wherever he’s been and at whatever he’s done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perception is everything, the optics on this deal are not very good. Y'all got the guy y'all wanted, that's fine. A baseball coach who's had success (I know he hasn't won the titles elsewhere like Jones) was reassigned a few weeks into the season. That's pretty bush league. I don't know the ins and outs, I do know that I have never heard anything negative about Bennett. I can't say the same for Jones. I hope that Bennett lands on his feet somewhere, I'm sure he'll do fine. I hope the citizens and tax payers of Kirbyville are happy with the way this was handled, and experience tons of success. I don't wish ill on anyone. In my opinion, this could've been handled more efficiently. yepyep, Tigers2010, walldrill and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The now former baseball coach has been successful there, and I believe he took Orangefiled to the state tournament a few years back. He's been working with the kids all year and probably looking forward to a very successful season as I think they Kirbyville is supposed to be pretty good this year. The damn season already started. Yet in comes in a new AD and HFC, who happened to be his assistant last year, to relieve him of his duties. Pretty damn bush league. It makes the new AD look bad, and the town look bad from the outside. This simply could have been handled in a more professional way, and it wasn't. But it appears the people in K'Ville don't care.

Ty Cobb Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 My questions is, will Coach Jones remain as the AD/head football coach/head baseball coach next season or will he hire a new baseball coach for the 2019 season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if something serious is going on behind the scenes that comes out then certainly it will be more understanding as to why he was reassigned. But. Let me ask you this. If y'all had hired a new AD/HFC without experience in baseball, would Coach B still be coaching the baseball team this year? My guess is yes. And that's what makes this situation so unprofessional.

Techsan_17 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Really feel for Coach Bennett who is well respected in the coaching community Good luck to the next guy they hire. Always remember that your boss thinks he can do it better than you, will tell you he can do it better than you, and will reassign you to middle school girls pole vault to prove it. So the next time you put on that hit and run, or sac you might wanna get pre approval. baseballwife and walldrill 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad. Agreed. I think it's an absolute disgrace, especially with him being the assistant last year. If you want to replace him, do it after the season. Zero character to go in and make a move like that. It doesn't matter to me if the community is not upset about it or not. There is a particular way you should treat people and this is not the right way.

Bennett will land on his feet somewhere. He's bounced around for some reason (I won't go there) but he's a good coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
