Always good for a school when they can get one of the few elite coaches!

Yeah, the guy that left wasn't elite at all. Only had a career .885 win percentage in over a decade on the sideline vs Morris' .806 win percentage before he went to the college ranks. I guess Westeberg would've never been elite if he didn't coach at Allen first since he has a .690 win percentage at Barbers Hill comprised of one district championship, three third place finishes and a fifth place finish?

If he didn't have the rings they would've run him out of town like they did Don Price who had a stretch of 5 undefeated regular seasons in an 8 years stretch before the elite Ronnie Gage showed up with his two rings got run off even quicker.

Arkansas owing him millions of dollars probably helps this move back to high school not be that hard of a decision.

If history is any indicator he won't. Did stay at Stephenville for 5 years but I'd imagine since he's back in the high school ranks that when Randy Allen finally leaves Highland Park then Morris leaves Allen too? 

I think he'll stay 3yrs then bolt for a college OC job or mid-major HC job.

Yup! Should've seen the Razorback group chat today, a bunch wanted him gone and rightfully so, but now some of those same ppl mad he got a top-notch HS HC gig, funny stuff.

 

I think he'll do an amazing job at Allen. Doubt Arkansas will be able to step on-campus to recruit though. 😁

Wasn't inferring any thing against the previous coach.  Just making a statement that it's good when any school can get an elite coach.  Morris has 3 State Championships which puts him in the elite category.  

As for as Westerberg, again, he's earned his elite status.  Just like when one becomes a Hall of Famer: It's what one has accomplished and it's not taken away.  Westerberg has been there only 5 years.  Who knows, it make take 6 or 10 years.  It took Briles 7 years for the first Title at Stephenville.  Things may be a little tougher at BH.  Who would you rather be trying to gain a Title, one with Westerberg's back ground or a coach that came in with an 0-30 previous head coaching record?

Idiots at BH for getting rid of Don Price. He was one of the best BH ever had and was very successful in ALL sports. His FB teams were the last real good teams in BH. But just like they tend to do over there... they'd rather have a big name who won championships in big schools that had completely OPPISITE demographics and abilities than BH. All the transplants want to make BH a "big" school, using "big" school mentality. Instead of remembering their history and what made them successful.

With just like anything, success is in the eye of the beholder.  When's the last time Barbers Hill won a State Title?

Well, they certainly haven't since the 2010 season (10 years) despite continuously being under the tutelage of "elite" coaching (Gage and Westerberg).

The answer to your question is 1976.
