If they get Coach A, and keep Bronson as DC, they become a state contender in 3 years.

 

Alvarez has never coached the caliber of athletes he’s about to coach.    It will be interesting to see what kind of program he builds and sustains there.   
 

IMO he’s one of the better coaches in the state of Texas.   What he did at Kirbyville was nothing short of a miracle.

Ennis didn’t have athletes?

Had great athletes.   So does Jasper.   Jasper has as many athletes, 3 divisions lower.

Jasper does. I just think Ennis is a good program. Every other place he went was ok.

Ok as in what?  But I agree about Ennis.   Great program with good athletes.

 

Kirbyville hadn’t been to the state playoffs since 1988.   In 2002, his 3rd year there, he had them in the playoffs, and only missed the playoffs 1 time after that.   He took them to 2 state title games, and several other 3rd and 4th round appearances.   Something Kirbyville hasn’t seen since.

 

He turned West Sabine into a respectable program.

 

He recently took Cuero to the semifinals.   The only place he struggled was Copperas Cove, and Nick Saban wouldn’t win at Copperas Cove.

Okay as in talent. I’m not disagreeing with you

Interviews have started....one red flag for me is the interview panel had 12 people on it...way too many cooks in that kitchen

I agree with both of you. It should be half that, if not fewer.

where did you get that info? some more "I heard" type?

8 should be the max if/when it come down to it.

there are a total of 7 school board members and 1 superintendent.  being the "I heard" pipeline of info. already has J.I S.D  out of pocket over $200k for a coach to come here. how ridiculous is it to have a 12 member hiring panel  🙄 even if it were for only one interview?

Could the source have been someone else that interviewed and pulled out of the process?

Definitely not giving up a source on a message board, but I feel confident in the information I received

I agree. Same here

Jack Alvarez is NOT going to be HC/AD in Jasper.  He didn't even make the short list.

There is no 12 member panel that is going to make the hire.

4/5 people of the community along with school board members (7) worked together to narrow down candidates based on their applications.  they all will/have  NOT be part of interviews or actual hiring.

What is 5+7? Sounds strikingly similar to "12". Almost like "panel" with "12" people.

your mind is so sharp, it may cut your head off.

you booger bear you.

Can confirm that Alvarez is not a finalist. Jasper wouldn't meet his demands.

An OC and 3 head coaches are the four finalists.

my guess it number 2...  

He was asking too much for their liking.

I tend to agree with the panel on that one.

I am sure Cuero is super excited to see him applying around already.

Yeah. I do too. I like him, but it's not a smart move on JISD's part. It'll be interesting to see who they decide on.

I don't think he'll go anywhere unless someone gives him the moon. I still think he could be leveraging to get more from Cuero.
