So who's the new Head Coach??

I am going out on a limb and say it's the OC Daniel Ragsdale.

Seems that the hew requirement is that the job only has to be posted in a public place. It was posted on the Job Board at the Administration Building on I-10. So in the words of a decommitted superstar- "No interviews".

Looks like the school board will finally make a hire tonight. Expected to be the official naming of Daniel Ragsdale as HC/Campus Boy's AD.

Daniel Ragsdale was officially named the Head Coach and Campus Athletic Coordinator at GCM. He is the 4th head coach in the schools short history.

And now they’re looking for a 5th.  Ragsdale got fired a couple days ago.  He lasted 3 years and his record at GCM is 2-28

Its just a get your feet wet Job.  GCM is set up for failure. 6a with 2A amount of athletes.

GCCISD couldn’t consolidate now even if they wanted to.  They’re flat broke, last 2 bond elections failed.  They don’t have the money to repair the foundation at RSS.  They’re a total mess.

 

Ive heard a couple people describe the GCM job just like you did, as a get your feet wet” job.  Is that really accurate?  I mean, GCM is a guaranteed loser.  Ragsdale got moved to a District desk job I’m guessing until the end of the semester or until he’s found a new job, whichever comes first.  What kind of school is going to hire a football coach with a 2-28 record over 3 years?  GCM isn’t getting any better anytime soon, either.  They’re in 23-6A one more year so that means 0-10, then they’ll drop back to 9-5A-1 and be 1-9 like they were their last 3 years there, so their new Coach is going to end up 2-28 over 3 years just like Ragsdale.

it wouldnt matter if they were 1 school and they played 4A ball. Lee staff is the only ones who makes kids believe they have a chance.

Absolutely true.  Everything else comes from that.  If you don't have/can't build a program that kids WANT to play for, then it doesn't matter if you're in the bigger building with the better facilities and the newer equipment.  If you build a program kids WANT to play for, the wins will come.  

Here's a couple of examples.  My son said that some of his friends at school were talking about the upcoming rezoning, scared to death that they might not get to play for REL.  The mom of one of his friends from youth league who is zoned to GCM told me her son started crying when talking to her about how he wanted to play football, so please don't send him to GCM.  It doesn't matter how the zones are drawn or what the facilities are like or what the enrollment numbers are if you can't fix that.
