Chester86 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Congrats to a great man and a great friend. May you enjoy retirement and enjoy watching those grand babies grow up. Quote
WOSgrad Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Congratulations on your retirement, Coach! Quote
AggiesAreWe Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Congrats to Coach Williams. He will be retiring but word is he will be coaching at another school in the very near future. Quote
dme1111 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Is this health related? Poor timing to retire. Not much time to find a replacement. Quote

hoops784 Posted June 23, 2021 Report Posted June 23, 2021 Congrats to Coach Williams on his retirement. The move definitely not health related. Probably has more to do with the fact that Evadale has increasingly become a difficult place to work in recent years Quote

Guest mrtomcat Posted June 24, 2021 Report Posted June 24, 2021 Question? If this is pay related, lets hear some Rebels thoughts..........you arguably have the most successful coach in all of southeast texas (multi-sport) at the lower levels and yet, he's one of if not the lowest salary in all of southeast texas according to an article i saw posted 3 years ago. Come on Evadale, yall broke? Pay your AD's !!!!! Quote

pine curtain Posted June 29, 2021 Report Posted June 29, 2021 Is Willams retiring or taking a NON UIL job. Pay attention he may end up at a school near you this year. Quote

scoopno1 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Posted June 30, 2021 He can retire at a public school (UIL) and work for a year at a private school and then go into the retire/rehire program at another public school. Besides one of his good buddies coaches at Kelly. He has coached for 34 years and I have known him for over 30. He is a good man, a good person with kids and a good coach. I wish him the very best.

While he left Evadale, my understanding is that he still desired to coach. So with most positions becoming set in the immediate area, you take what is available. Also, this is a reunion of Mark Williams with Laurence Williams, the current Kelly AD who also coached at Evadale (boys basketball) so there is that. Quote

Draw retirement and obviously get paid for working at Kelly as they are not affiliated with TRS Quote

Guest mrtomcat Posted June 30, 2021 Report Posted June 30, 2021 who is the front runner for this gig ? evadale is a good place to work aside from the politics, based on what i hear. yes, know the pay stinks and something should be done about that but i dont know if they'll change Quote
scoopno1 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Posted June 30, 2021 The talent may not be as good as many think. A lot of the starters come from Silsbee, Buna, Lumberton and Vidor. One person told me that eight of the nine starters on this years baseball team came from outside the district. This does not always make the natives happy. As I was told more than once they are happy to have someone come in and rebound and play defense but when it is time to shoot the best thing is to throw the ball to little Johnny. Quote

Hell it’s been that way a long time. Especially in baseball Quote
