Hammer831 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 If this superintendent is not gone from Liberty soon, my boys will be wearing purple and white and playing in a great stadium at a school that actually cares about academics and athletics, instead of caring about neither....Sorry a little frustrated.

Panther Grad Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I can't speak to the Super's record since I know nothing of her past, but I can for certain say that a strong athletic program, both girls and boys, is very important to several of the board members since I know several of them. As for an applicant turning down the job, I know there are reasons absolutely unrelated to current administration for why it was turned down. I know it is hard, but we all need to be patient and let this thing run its course.

papasmurf Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Run its course, damn, they knew since last year that Stewart was not coming back after this season. The season was over in November, they didn't post it until December, and accepted applications until the end of January. February has come and gone. Here it is, the first of March and still know athletic director/head football coach. I did here a while back that the Supt. wanted to put together a committee to hire the AD/HF. The board voted against that and said they wanted to hire the AD/HF. So I think what ever happens, good or bad, it's on that board.Â

football Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 8 board meetings in the shortest month of the year!
Panther Grad Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 No, I am not a board member. And I agree with Diamond-J, it is on the board. Â If they screw this up, I would think that it will be reflected in future elections. Papasmurf, I understand your frustration, but everybody knows that there are certain rules and procedures and State laws that the school board must abide by when hiring for these kinds of positions. Â I would think that they are simply following the correct protocol for this kind of thing.
football Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 No they are not. By law, you only have to post it for 10 days and you do not have to interview but 1 person if you so choose. If you hire from within the district, you do not even have to post it.
Panther Grad Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 football, Based on that, I would say that they are definitely not hiring from within the district or they would not have posted it and they are clearly interviewing more than one person. So I would still say they are following procedure.
football Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 Sorry, i meant to imply with my post that there is no set "procedure". That is strictly up to the board. Some hire quickly others drag it out.
playdefense Posted February 29, 2008 Report Posted February 29, 2008 so who are the final two? all i see is alot of mouthing off about the wrong way to do things.
Panther Grad Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I heard it was Jimmy Johnson and Joe Gibbs.
football Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 No final 2 anymore. Interviews set up for Tuesday and Wednesday for up to 4 candidates. Does this mean that double d turned them down?
sahen Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 No final 2 anymore. Interviews set up for Tuesday and Wednesday for up to 4 candidates. Does this mean that double d turned them down? maybe he is one of the final 4?
papasmurf Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Since my man Coach Taylor is no longer in the running, I really don't care who gets this job. I know Donald Douglas is still in the hunt, thanks to Dr. Griffin, Huckabay, and from what I have heard the other two didn't even get a interview the first go round. That is why they have kept everything so quite. They didn't want people to know who interviewed or who didn't so that when this type of situation occurs they don't look so bad. However, one has already turned it down and that got out. The coach from Kountze didn't get an interview the first time, now he will be interviewing on Tuesday or Wednesday from what I have heard. Believe me, I know all of this is speculation and everybody on here could be completely wrong, including myself. But after a month, who really cares.
PANTHERPLAYA09 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Theyve probably been offering the job to abunch of coaches but theyve all probably turned it down whenever the were told that they would get paid less than the upstairs janitors.
JS Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Salary and facilities--I really would like to see our neighbors to the east step up and upgrade the Athletic Dept---top to bottom
Skilled95 Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 I wish they could just tell us who the AD is gosh
ceo Posted March 3, 2008 Report Posted March 3, 2008 Did i hear that super wanted to have a committee to help with the interviews and the board wanted to do it on their own? So, there are 4 interviews this week.... 2 are 2nd interviews and the other 2 didn't have a 1st interview yet? What a tangled web we weave as we practice to deceive.
PANTHERPLAYA09 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Salary and facilities--I really would like to see our neighbors to the east step up and upgrade the Athletic Dept---top to bottom I agree. But, until we start getting more participation in athletics, I dont think anything will change. I think we should just cut the football program, invest the old football budget into gold bonds. Then we could wait until the Euro surpases the dollar by another $1.50. Then we can all have new chemistry books and maybe even soap in the boys bathrooms. Â Â Maybe the schoolboard could just get this over with that way they could worry about all the other problems L.I.S.D. has....because I can promise you that FOOTBALL COACH shouldnt be at the top of their agenda..
Panther Grad Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 Pantherplay, Who peed in your cheerios? :
AFC77 Posted March 4, 2008 Report Posted March 4, 2008 I agree with pantherplaya they need to get every other bad thing that the high school has fixed also, but i also think that the football choice is important and they need to pick the righ man for it. Now i wish it would have been done with like everybody else but it is important
