So, rolling into Christmas there are no concrete coaching departures from local schools, correct?

Just rumor, inneundo and conjecture?

Don’t forget malicious speculation. There’s some of that, too.

Perhaps some tomfoolery via filibuster?

2008 Football season.  Lost to Friendswood 20-19 in the 5A D1 reg finals and left 8 points on the field......

I'm glad you gave him a snippet because I really don't have time to entertain his foolery...

Come on fellas!!!!! Everybody in their right mind knew that the United experience was gonna struggle early. I expect them to be a lot better next year.

Curious.  Why should everybody have expected United to struggle (other than possibly because of the Coach)?  Maybe struggle some in the first half of the season.  As I remember, after the Hebert/Forest Park merger, Coach Durley took West Brook to a State Championship.  But in all fairness, there aren’t many Coach Durleys around.

True.  But -- it's especially sad when they didn't even try to find one as good as Durley.  Or close to it!  This blunder is clearly on those that made this decision.

I think it’s because of the two schools that were merging. Central was a 3rd or 4th place team at best in the old 22-5A for the past couple years. And ozen was irrelevant. Adding those two and moving them to 6A spelled disaster for the first year for sure. When/if they get a good coaching staff they will be better.

United has now a year under the system, now the younger kids will have better understanding of the lingo and the system they run. As well as a full true season of off season work out. Plus going from a district with WB, NS, DP compared what the boys are used to playing in with my dogs, PNG, and such is a night and day and have to adjust. Plus Last year they maybe didn’t get a fair chance because of the unknown that was before them and coaches probably finding jobs else where that basically screwed the kids over. Seen it before with lame ducks sitting and waiting. The United team should be much improved this season and should very well compete for a playoff  spot. They never gave up and was in the thick of things for a very long time through the season. 

Relax United will be fine, and the same nay sayers will be praising the same coaching staff

Agreed. Big difference between 5A and 6A.

I can promise you that they could win state next year and I wouldn't praise the current head coach and offensive coordinator.  Some of the other guys, maybe but not those 2...

Why not give them a good coaching staff from the start?

That dead horse has been beaten 

1) Lydell Wilson was told he had to keep coaches from the previous staffs and certain ones as coordinators 

2) Certain board members with no skin in the game were making those calls

3) Once the decision to choose AL as the first coach was made, it was spun as a “he’s done this before” type deal 

 

Am I close?

I will continue to beat the crap out of this horse until they shut me up by winning some games and at the least making the playoffs.  If they can't stop me from speaking at the board meetings and other places, you or nobody else will stop me from talking about the matter on here...

1.  Wilson was a viable candidate but wasn't even the best one in my opinion but he would have been better than what is currently in place...

2.  Exactly, no skin in the game and they are still the ones making the calls.

3.  The biggest mistake that THE POWERS made but hey, he'll have a full off-season now so that's one excuse that can't be used next year...

1. Agreed

2. Agreed 

3. I want to see how they look after a full offseason with the current staff in order to develop a complete opinion

The current HC has a history that would dictate otherwise, IMO.

Hummmmm!  Well this is interesting!

Guys, let us remember that this is a thread regarding who has left their current positions and who have filled them.

Lol!! Knew it wouldn’t take long.  There was literally not a more successful high school football coach that could have taken the BH job. 

This proves my point that I’ve made too many times to count.

If I saw it correct BH had a kid sign with Incarnate Word.    Sure others will sign come February with other schools.   Didn’t know BH had a lot of scholarship players walking the halls.

I love this message board when people post relevant comments and knowledgeable posts.  Cannot stand it when people post shots at coaches with baseless comments .   

My message to them..... GET LOST

Dang son! I’ve heard of kicking the door down, but this 1st post takes the prize!
