Don Price is the obvoius hire off of that list.....

...but...

If HF wanted to get a younger commodity...there is a name on the list that in intriguing.  Nathan Barrier from Groesbeck ISD.  This guys is a prodigy.  Son of Nathan Barrier of Waco Robinson ISD.  Look Robinson's record up during the Sr Barrier's tenure coaching there....very very successful.  Ned has never been a head coach, but he is ready.  He knows football better than any coach I have ever been around.  One of the best, up and coming, offensive minds in the High School game today. He has family in the Hull Daisetta area and coached a few years there in the late 90's and early 2000's.  He also has alot of connections when it comes to assistants.  If he is hired, he will arrive with a very capable and knowledgeable staff, that can be guaranteed. He, at least, deserves a look. 

To me, these are the only two real candidates on this list.  They are like night and day, but one thing is for sure, they would both be successful as the head coach at HF. 

I have been an avid Don Price supporter through all of his stuff at BH, and even suggested him for this job earlier on when Mangan was first rumored to have been dismissed, but I must admit, Nathan Barrier makes me change my mind.  Barrier should be the man for the job.

[prepballfan]

Danny Malone from PNG in the 80's wow good name

[eyeproblem]

Coach Mahaffey is a proven and known commodity. He would be an excellent choice and is already there. Other candidates are also impressive, but Mahaffey is on the scene now, know what it takes to be successful, and is evidently willing. Also a real good man.

[BadMedicine]

I'm impressed with the geographic variety of applicants - Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, New Hampshire, New Jersey, California, two from Alaska!!! and one guy from WorldFitnessChampions.Net.  This internet is a wondrous thing.

Now if HF can start recruiting [b]athletes[/b] from all of these states ..... ;D :D ;D :D

[Let’sGetAlong]

Anyone knows about those two guys from Katy? Which Katy school are those two guys from b/c if they are from the Katy Tigers program...could be guys who know how to get the most out of their athletes and know how to win. I still think they will stay inside with the two guys that were not there befor mangan or guys he did not bring in. They have proven AD success and they are already there (not part of the problems either from what I understand). I guess we shall soon see but one thing for sure, a lot of good quality coaches on there...someone should be able to come in and win.

[dav-joel]

[b]Rob Powell has applied for the job.[/b]

According to his website and (click on biography)  www.worldfitnesschampion.net  he is:

The Strongest Athelete in History
The Greatest Athlete in History
World's Toughest Man

He should be able to handle those unruly HF parents (including Bluedove) and may cause Dan Hooks to either retire or drop to 6 Man.

HJ Basketball - Look out

[Let’sGetAlong]

Why would this guy be apllying for an AD job?

A question for those that know more than me. Has HF ever hired an AD from within?? At least in the last 25 years? And if the two on staff that applied were brought in by Mangan, will administration really hire them the same administration thought the program was not going in the right direction?

What says that either one of these two will use the same approach as the man that hired them? I don't think I'm understanding your argument.

[SETXSPORTSJUNKIE]

BARRIER is the best choice, hands down.  HF would be lucky to get him.  If you want a winner, choose Barrier for sure.

[prepballfan]

Danny Malone went 19-6 as the head coach of PNG in 1988@89. They went to the QF's. Danny Malone also has 204 wins.

[sjs1228]

Winning records are great, but I doubt if many of these on this list understand what an AD at HF really does - since other ADs aren't usually expected to do the same - HF ADs are expected to do the team laundry, mow the grass on the fields, fertilize, mark the fields, and lots of other chores that are handled by maintenance personnel at other schools.  These tasks take away from the time that could be spent doing actual AD duties.  There are a lot of dynamics at HF that must be considered.  Winning coaches from bigger schools don't always understand the challenges of a smaller school where good athletes are expected to play multiple sports and the conflicts that arise in doing so.  The challenges associated with being the smaller school in a tough district are also different than being in a large school.  I'm not saying someone  doesn't have these qualifications, but simply looking at their record on the surface is not sufficient. 

Mehaffey has been in a similar situation as at HF and has shown success.  He also understands everything an AD is expected to do at HF and has established a good rapport with parents and players.  Of course, he doesn't list being the Strongest or Greatest Athlete in History or purport to be the World's Toughest Man so he might be facing a bit of a challenge for this position. ;D

the lack of anyone mentioning Malone shows the youth of this board. ;)

[Dirty D]

How could you not hire Don Price and yes at Barbers Hill he had all atheletes playing multiple sports

[Bulldog92]

Agreed. I remember Jasper running into PNG back in 1989 during bi-district playoff time in Pasadena. Both teams had explosive offenses that year and it looked to be a pretty even matchup. The Indians jumped on us early and often and that game was over before it really started. Malone did a great job there...

[Guest Borat]

This will be Price's job if he wants it. Hands down and running away. And if that happens, there will be some u-haul rentals in the HF area real quick.

[prepballfan]

I was at that game against Jasper I believe it was in Pasadena. After the game I was walking to my car(I had parked on the Jasper side) a guy walked up to me and socked me in the nose and ran off. I guess the moral to the story is do not park on your opponents side and were your school colors.  LOL

[PNG1992]

Malone took over a PNG team that won 1 game and scored a total of 1 offensive TD in all their district games in 1988 and had them in the state quarterfinals a year later in 1989.  He followed that up with a 2 round playoff run in 1990. He revived a dead program in 1 year and had folks hating PNG at a level that hadnt been seen in years.   

If they want a short-tem fix to get back on track Id be calling Nebraska.

[Roughrider]

Malone would not make a week at HF. They could not handle him. The kids quit Mangan, the parents cried about Mangan, and the administration did not back Mangan. HF is different, the parents want to have a say so in everything over there. What the parents need to do is back off and let the coach do his job.

Mehaffey WILL be the next hire whether he is the best candidate or not.

Just watch.

Rob Powell should be the frontrunner. Come on yall. World Record Holder. World's Toughest Man.

[horndawg]

I have an idea...Since the parents have "say so in everything the HF AD does, we'll set up a number and have the parents of HF text in the name of the candidate, American idiot...uh Idol style and the winner will be who gets most votes. This has to be a full proof plan right? I mean that show gets more votes than the presidentail election.

[hookem14]

Coming from someone that played for Malone,  HF could not do better !!!

[Guest Borat]

Exactly how would you determine if you were the worlds toughest man and greatest athlete?  Defeat all of the MMA champions? Beat all of the olympic champions in their events? Maybe eat a can of spam with no bread or crackers? :D
