First, congratulations to Chad Landry and BC.  I repeat that I think this is a great fit for both.

Second, congratulations to Kyle Green and Vidor.  The Pirates kept a good coach and can continue to build that program in the same positive direction it has been going.

Okay...problem solved.  What's next????

Chad Landry will be the next head baseball coach at Bridge City High School.  He has been offered, and accepted, the position pending approval at next Monday's school board meeting.  Landry spent five years as head coach of Hamshire-Fannett, making the playoffs in three of those years.  "We're real happy to have Chad," said BC Athletic Director Cris Stump.  "He's a motivator and he works well with kids."  BC Superintendent Dr. Jamey Harrison echoed those comments.  "He was real impressive in his interview and he made no bones about how excited he would be if he came to Bridge City."  Landry said he is excited about the new challenge and also thanked the H-F community for their support.  "It's really hard leaving those kids.  You get to know them from the 7th grade so it's real personable there.  The parents were supportive and always got us what we needed."  The search for a new coach has been a long one clouded with stories and rumors.  Emerick Jagneaux turned the job down after taking the Deer Park job.  Kyle Green of Vidor was supposedly offered the job and turned it down.  Harrison said, "Green was a consideration but at the same time we were talking to Chad.  Chad was not our third choice because we had never officially offered the job to Kyle."  Landry responded, "I don't care where I was on the list. I'm just happy to be given the opportunity."  He was so excited that he doesn't even know what his other duties are yet.  Obviously he'll coach football but doesn't know at what level.  Landry graduated from Nederland in 1997 before playing at Seminole JC and Texas Tech.  He and his wife Mandi are expecting the first child, a boy, in August

From the Orange Leader:

“To be honest, I don’t consider it being that I was offered the job,†Green said. “I would hate to speak for Stump but in my mind I have the opportunity to go over there. Right now I’m not even sure I am the man they want. I have not physically spoken to him in a while and it was never worded like “Do you want the job?’

I know what the article says but they were waiting on an answer from Green, Green was offered and that's who Stump wanted last week.

No offense but who cares? If Coach Green is happy and BC got their man what's the point? This should not be aired out on a website anyway. ya think?  ???
