Coach85 Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 It seems like Guadeloupe Flores puts in for every available coaching job that comes open around here. I know I’ve seen his name on numerous list . Quote
TheOutsider Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 Some good candidates on that list. Also a lot I've never heard of and some I have that would be disastrous. Quote

TheOutsider Posted February 13, 2020 Report Posted February 13, 2020 I guess they aren't paying attention to the fact Duncanville is under investigation. Quote

He was instructing the players which is a no no. Have to be an employee of the district in order to "coach" students. MrUmp1 1 Quote

Matthew328 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Marcus Graham is a good coach.....he did some good things at El Paso Burges and then took on an impossible situation at El Paso Socorro....not sure Belichick would win there... Raider24 and Alpha Wolf 1 1 Quote

Not according to his record! You are what your record says you are. And he was losing games before he got Socorro. Reagan 1 Quote

But he has a track record that says he's not a very good head coach. So -- why would BU put their school in that known situation? Quote
BMTSoulja1 Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 I'll take the wait and see approach. All is speculation right now as to who the finalist are, but as far a Graham goes, I know he's better than the current DC from West Brook and I'm hearing it won't be him. I also know that El Paso area in general is not really good at football and really don't produce the athletes you see in abundance here in SETX and Houston area. He had a string of 3 pretty good season in El Paso, then I believe he switched to another EP school and sucked. I also know that same school, after Graham left, they put up another 0-10 season. Hopefully, If Graham is the guy, maybe he learned a great deal from Coach Samples (darn good coach) as an assistant there. I'm also sure that Graham is a better coach than A.L. Alpha Wolf 1 Quote
TheOutsider Posted February 14, 2020 Report Posted February 14, 2020 Not hating on Graham but just wondering, how did he end up in El Paso? Quote

Matthew328 Posted February 17, 2020 Report Posted February 17, 2020 Graham's record wasn't bad at Burges, very up and down but Burges is basically inner-city El Paso...very few resources to work with and talent can be very up and down....he took Socorro because it was a raise and his son was graduating but that was an impossible situation... 2010 EP Burges 3-7-02011 EP Burges 9-3-0 T2012 EP Burges 10-3-0 R2013 EP Burges 3-7-02014 EP Burges 1-9-02015 EP Burges 7-5-0 T Quote

He thinks that if his boyfriend, Art Briles, is not in the conversation, then BISD is making a major mistake. I am not kidding, just ask him!
