HoopInsider_Cooper Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 www.theexaminer.comAnahuac football coach search narrowed to 5By Chad Cooper, Sports EditorAnahuac is in need of a head football coach and athletic director and have since narrowed their search down to five candidates and could name their man as early as Tuesday.Sources close to the situation claim the school narrowed the list of candidates down to five:1. Darrell Barbay (Hull-Daisetta AD/HFC)2. Duane Joubert (Kountze head basketball coach)3. Paul Broussard (Former Hamshire-Fannett defensive coordinator)4. David Westfall (West Hardin AD/HFC)5. An unnamed assistant from Tatum.Sources also claim that if Joubert is named athletic director, he would not be the head football coach and would instead assume the role of the AD and boys head basketball coach meaning the school would also have to hire a football coach. The boys head basketball position is also open.
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 I guess Billy Donovan pulled out last week too!! ;D....
Bucster Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 is Darrell Barbay related to THE Barbay?I believe he is "The Barbay's" son.
Panther Pride Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Yes Darrell Barbay is the son of "THE BARBAY" from Newtow.. We would be lucky to have him come here. I hear he is doing great things in H-D right now.. The rumore has is Tatum coach has pulled out.. Hey Yates, err DickVitale.. I guess now you see why the Kountze coach would come to Anahuac. There aren't many places you would have the chance to be the AD and still be the head basketball coach. Kind of the best of both worlds, gets the AD pay, keeps coaching basketball.. No heat if the football doesn't turn around.
DP#1FAN Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 That's a good group of names. Watchout Anahuac just got alot better.
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 You are right, that would be a great move, but...not going to happen...If they did that, they would have to find a good football coach that is willing to be coach only and not the AD...at this late date...Not happening.....there are other reasons too, but that would be one of the bigger, less complicated ones....and who's Yates?
Guest totalsportsprogram Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Joubert already has his man for the football job if he gets it and the guy he brings in would be MORE than qualified. I would bet that Joubert probably made this known during the interview process.Also, the job was officially offered this weekend to someone not mentioned in this article. That person turned the job down.
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Great theory, but how do you know this is the case?
Guest totalsportsprogram Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 I don't say things I don't know for sure. That would be speculation.Â
Guest ECBucFan Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 That's a good group of names. Watchout Anahuac just got alot better.No doubt about it. Da'wac has the athletes, just not the organization and dicipline, yet...
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 We shall see how this turns out...I am taking ALL BETS....It's Barbay...For a number of reasons...Joubert would be great for Anahuac, but....I don't see that scenario in Anahuac.
Panther Pride Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Dicky V, Dicky V.. Come on man, if you don't want people to know who you are. You need to hide your email address from your profile!! ;DÂ As for totalsports, I've heard the same thing. Joubert has his head football coach picked out and the board knows about it.. Not to sure how reliable the story of the job already being offered this weekend and was turned down is. The story about here is the board is meeting tomorrow and will fill the job then. But they might have already offered it up to introduce the new coach tuesday.. One thing about it, with all these rumors the message boards are burning up!!
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 I don't hide behind a screen name, buddy!! ...I love it when I am right. Barbay is the guy....Congrats to him.
Guest totalsportsprogram Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Not to sure how reliable the story of the job already being offered this weekend and was turned down is.Trust me. I spoke directly with the person it was offered to.
Panther Pride Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 Hey Dicky V, if you don't hide then why did you ask who Yates was.. CoachI do hope Darrell takes the job for sure. He would be great for us.. How long has Darrell been at H-D??
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 I was being sarcastic when I asked who "I" was.....DUH??? De De Deeeeeee!! ;D
Panther Pride Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 My bad dicky V, I couldn't detect the sarcasm in your voice thru your typing!! haha Hey coach, you think Barbay will take the job or will H-D sweetin the pot for him to stay??
Guest DickVitale Posted June 11, 2007 Report Posted June 11, 2007 You have to HAVE a pot to sweetin it!! They won't be able to match Anahuac's pay...Barbay is officially an Anahuac Panther!!
