If Diboll was your guy, and WV is wanting to throw it more......sheesh. I hear he is on the top of the list for the Coldspring job.

They just posted. Elgin's Heath Clawson got the job.

Not sure what to think of this hire. I know Elgin has been fairly successful under Clawson, but honestly it feels a bit underwhelming for a state finalist program returning a bunch for another run. Could be wrong though. One thing is for certain, he better listen to the OC and throw the ball enough or he won't be for long in the 'Ville!

Better listen to the OC? Who is to say he won't bring in his own OC. BTW you can win a state championship without throwing the ball. Good luck to this coach he will have his hands full with this community.

Hope he brings in a really good DC. Looks like his teams are known to give up hella points

Same thoughts here. 7 years experience as head coach. Three years at Louise and 4 at Elgin. Very unimpressive 26-51 record. Did seem to be a little improvement at Elgin after going 0-10 his first year there though. Has 2 state championships as an assistant at Aledo. We'll see how it turns out but I probably would have kept it inside if there weren't any better options

You never know who applied and how interviews went.  Whispers here were that the firm was underwhelmed be the applications received.

Yes. New HC “better listen to the OC”. That is how it works.

I'd be interested in knowing what kind of hires this firm has gotten for other programs in the past. Is the firm known to get good hires or were the school leaders being lazy and willing to let anybody handle it long as it didn't have to be them?

Did the search firm make the hire? Or was it the school board?

Final decision came down to the school board I believe but I hear they let the firm do most of the work

That is how search firms work. Businesses or boards pay the search firm to find candidates. They typically do not hire a search firm and then do the search themselves.

Maybe we can locate a “High School Football Coach Search Firm” ranking agency and see what data they may have on the search firm.
 

At least we can rest assured that the school board made the decision about who to hire.

At least it is HC that has been a part of the offensive staff on State Championship teams. He should be able to help with his experience with championship offenses. Probably has good connections to get some quality offensive coaches.

That's great if he does but we need a solid DC also since our DC went to Lufkin I believe. We have a OC who knows our kids. Don't want to lose all the people who allready have relationships and a good guage on our kids abilities
