By taking so long for this hiring process I am afraid that we are hurting our chances of getting our top candidate.  It looks like Liberty is in no hurry to get an AD in place and does not really care about the direction we are headed.  I bet it is frustrating to the finalists waiting on a school board that has no sense of urgency.

It seems the board was split and that one of their choices may have a job opening as the AD at their current school, so this may continue with no AD HD

Football Coach in place until the other school decides on their position.  This can't be a positive for the kids at Liberty.  They need someone ASAP to give them the best chance of winning next year.  Keep us posted.

The interviews finished last Thursday.  Why was this job not important enough to meet over the weekend, call the lone finalist to come in on Monday and get the details worked out and then take it before the board on Tuesday?  And maybe the board did this, but from everything I know they are not meeting on this until tonight at the regular school board meeting with no name to hire and still having to pick between the 8 finalist.

Hmmm! ??? Does seem a little lackadaisical.

Something's fishy!!  They have known about this change for over a year now and it is taking them this long!  If they wait much longer they'll be into spring football and offseason will be lost.  I hope the current staff is taking care of offseason and making sure things are in good order.

The word I'm getting is they want to de-emphasize football and build the basketball program up. Girls and Boys. Apparently some people have said they put to much emphasis on the fall ball. Without a good football program, everything else doesn't matter here in Texas. Liberty may be in for a few rough years ahead. I hope the new guy knows what he is getting into. We have everything we need over the river here in Dayton. A great Football Coach and staff, and everything else feeds off of that.

I saw and visited with some of the Coaches at the track meet tonight at Anahuac. There is still some very capable men running the offseason program and Liberty will be fine. Better to be safe than sorry and there is a process in place and allow it to run its course. Good luck to the Panthers bc yall have some great kids and parents.

      That’s a heck of a take there. If you could just remove Kountze’s top 6-7 players, you got them.

      Very close game until the 2nd half (mostly the 4th) when Orangefield came unraveled. Worse defensive effort I have seen out of the Bobcats in three years. This team has to get back on D and quit getting beat over the top when pressing. Offensively, non ball handlers continually turn it over and their shot selection is poor. Basic basketball, such as: defensive hustle, boxing out, and taking care of the basketball are the areas the Bobcats need to work on most. Whitmire will get them on point, but he shouldn't have to coach effort at the Varsity Level.  We'll be at McNeese this Friday night at 6pm.

      I don’t benefit from it, that’s not my area.  But the average cost to imprison someone is around $15k per year (on average in the US) and capital cases cost somewhere between $1.5-$3M with over half being overturned or reduced to life in prison anyway.  These numbers may be inflated since the last report I read but I’m sure it would be on both sides and higher on the DP side if anything. So what’s the point?  We feel better because we got to return the favor on someone (hopefully) who committed a heinous crime?  And I don’t know I can say we have “complicated” it. Which appeal should we cut out?  Our justice system has a pecking order and we have higher courts for a reason. When we are about to impose the ultimate judgment, should we cut steps that other cases have to save a buck?  Or do we not pay for an indigent person’s experts at the trial court level because it’s too expensive? Or do we just lock them up and throw away the key (unless we later find out they weren’t actually guilty, in which case we have a key and a life we haven’t unjustly ended) and save a ton of money?  Seems to me to be an obvious solution but I’m more of a pragmatist.
