MR. REALITY Posted August 2, 2007 Report Posted August 2, 2007 we lost a good one when coach randy birdwell resigned. from the elliott family good luck in all you do , you will be missed! see you around bigbird
TheSwami Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Birdwell got out of coaching for this year. I will give MR. REALITY a chance to tell you why he got out since this is his post.
MR. REALITY Posted August 3, 2007 Author Report Posted August 3, 2007 dont know for sure heard a couple of different reasons and as my handle says reality, and i dont really know. all i know is we lost a good one and i wish him luck
TheSwami Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Sorry REALITY, I thought you would know. Birdwell was told by the new AD that he was the OC for next year. After a couple of weeks of preparing for it Jason Henry was hired for the Basketball position. Bird was told he was no longer the OC and Henry was going to be the OC. This did not sit well with Bird or his family. So after thinking about it for a few days he decided to resign and take his old job back in the medical field. I do not blame him because that is something you do not do. An experienced AD would have hired his whole coaching staff and then made his decision on who is going to do what. Do not appoint someone on your staff if you can't keep your word. It is frustrating to see what is happening at Daisetta. This is yet another blow to the kids. There is one coach left from last year. And he just started last year. I agree with REALITY this one was a big loss to the program.
Guest tudah08 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 all i can say is that i'm really going to miss that guy. :'(
Tbone-05 Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 Randy hang in there this job can be crazy some times. Remember why you do it though. From one of your former coach's. God Bless.
Guest blade_65 Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Hey before ever one runs Joe Slack into the ground. Ask yourself this why didnt he go to Anuacha with Coach Barbay? Oh thats right he stayed for the kids. But know he is leaving the kids because he is mad at Joe. he turned down about a 11000 dollar raise to stay. Maybe he hasnt left because of Joe. Maybe the School was pressuring him about his degree and certification. Well i liked bird but maybe he needs to come clean tell the truth. Trust me what happen HD was crappy but come mid November yall wont crying but praising the short-handed staff that joe allen built. Good Luck HD
TheSwami Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 Hey a newbie or a morph. But Bird is not certified yet and Anahuac required that. So he stayed and had a contract. Although he is required to get certified by HD they were willing to give him the three years, I think, that is allowed to get certified. So there was no problem there. HD was giving him the time. We are talking Bird here, a bobcat and a friend of the school board pres. and most of the board. They are not going to throw him out at the last minute.
MR. REALITY Posted August 4, 2007 Author Report Posted August 4, 2007 i have said it before and will say it again good luck bird! but also the AD has to do what he thinks is best for the program.dont get me wrong im not saying i agree . but whats best for the program is not always easy to stomach
TheSwami Posted August 4, 2007 Report Posted August 4, 2007 i have said it before and will say it again good luck bird! but also the AD has to do what he thinks is best for the program.dont get me wrong im not saying i agree . but whats best for the program is not always easy to stomachI do agree with you there.
