Tarkington

You don't get fired by TISD.  You get fed up with the crap and leave.  Why do you think there is such a turnover?  Not b/c of the kids and not b/c anyone got fired.  I will leave it at that. 

[Go-rilla]

I'm just fine.

I hope the kids win some games as well, but you can't fault a school for putting more resources towards academics than athletics.  Were the coaches that left varsity coaches or could there duties be filled by those already on the staff?  It sucks that they didn't get replaced and I wish that you guys could pay Bill Parcels to come coach your kids, but it's tough all over.  On the bright side, maybe you guys could qualify for some obama-bucks and revitalize the prairie, then you could have all the coaches you want.  Best of luck.

I'm not quite sure what this guy doesn't understand.  He keeps talking about admin putting more resources into acedemics than athletics.  I hope any school does that...what PLAYA is commenting about is the fact that the sup has neglected to merely replace the VARSITY coaches that resigned during the spring.  The entire community knew those guys weren't coming back so it wasn't like they resigned abruptly and put administration in a bind.  To my knowledge both of their resignations came in April.  This wasn't an academic matter, it was an athletic issue.  An athletic issue that the sup failed to help Carr resolve.  I'm sure Carr simply couldn't trust the word of his administrator plain and simple.  That negligence now puts the new head coach in a bind because he's short staffed!!!  Best of luck to the new head coach and to the longhorns!!!

Sat down with Coach Carpenter today and he is a great guy and Tarkington should be in great shape. Their new slogan is Tradition Begins Today!!!

I like it.  The Horns will play hard of that I am sure.

Good to hear and wish them the best. Thanks for the update.

This is funny. Im going to agree with playa on this one. But I will say this. Does it matter? I mean playa is right. Nobody gets fired there. I think ppl just leave there? Look, its SETX, every school wants to be good at football. Tarkington is pretty much good at everything but football. This might be a problem for most coaches. I know, at least at my highschool, everyone coaches football. Then the other sports second. I feel like coaches over there just get tired of losing football games.  They need to transfer imphasis off of football and invest in things theyre good at. Ya know, everything else. Baseball, softball, volleyball, TRACK.

Gorilla nice to see you on here. you crack me up, lol dayton was horrible in 96. hardin got turf. lmao

[B.M.F.]

Dayton wasn't terrible in 96.  They made the playoffs, and won a district championship.  8)

whoop whoop broncos!

[Socrates]

No, B.M.F., he meant 1896!

[Go-rilla]

it says class of 96. That means 95 season. They were 2-8. That was when all

the good dugats played for liberty.

don't ever correct me on stats!!!!!

secondly someone did get canned from t-town.

the principal!!!

[B.M.F.]

Nope gorilla the 96 season is the 96 season.  If you meant 95 then say 95.  And, I will correct you whenever I please.  You P.A.B.

[Guest etbu]

Gorilla has a axe to grind with TISD and not sure what it is. Think he got canned or is a middle skewl c coach that is trying to make a move.  ???

[Cowboy1981]

in 1996 dayton did not win the dc they were the third team in the district and played WOS at Memorial stadium in Pasadena,

They did not win the DC until 1998

[B.M.F.]

Wrong 1981.  Dayton did win a district championship in 96, under Jerry Stewart's first year.  I was there.  So eat it.

[Socrates]

If you aren't sure what his axe is, then why call him out?

He has been dead on with everything he has posted (don't know about the Dayton part, and don't really care).

I think you would be surprised to know how well he has done after his time at TISD.

Ok is this about the career of Gorilla or the kids of Tarkington? Good to hear about the new HC and good luck to Horns.

[ncplaya]

Wow, pantherplaya agreed with me.  The new coach at T=town will do fine.  Gorilla, hows two-a days going?

[Socrates]

Not trying to pick a fight, but when it comes to Tarkington, there are three types of people: 2% know, because they have seen and been there, 5% think they know but have no idea, and 93%+ that don't care.

[Go-rilla]

no axes.

would like to see some admin that cared as much as I did.

And no I didnt have to leave t-town to be a success.

if you knew me you would know that.

I am 100% behind coach carpenter. I hope they give

him the support they deserve.

and Dayton is still terrible in 95 so you must be terrible too!

[PANTHERPLAYA09]

I think I'm that 93% that doesnt care..

are you and go-rilla like funny on each other? go-rilla if you are that impressed with yourself and your boyfriend are impressed ever think about marriage? we don't care about your career path got it? we care about the kids of tarkington and the coaches. i happen to be friends of the supid of tarkington and he does care about the kids. so get over it cause you did not discover America and not the only show in town.  you think a little to much about yourself and so does your boyfriend.

[Go-rilla]

do you have a flat top too?????

;D ;D

[Socrates]

That was a solid ninth post falcon, good job. Well thought out.

Can't wait for number ten.

[ncplaya]

Now thats funny.  Falcon, no one was even talking about him.  Why you try at least getting into the double digits of posts before you start cracking gay jokes on people.
