btw...the board did not conduct the process...there were three school administrators, one of whom is the superintendent who conducted all the interviews and selected Coach Morgan

Do you know if that was after Bowman turned it down and was it ever actually offered to Bowman??

Those interviewed were:

Bowman- Daingerfield
Alvarez- Kirbyville
Barbay- Anahuac
Morgan- Carthage
Stowers- (Formerly Central)
Valastro- East Chambers

Reportedly Valastro was given much consideration, but the decision was made to go with Morgan

In fairness to Bowman, I think we should wait to see if he goes to a different school.  Supposedly Paris has an offer that he must accept or reject by mid-night.  He can only accept one job and you cannot blame a guy for increasing his odds.  But if he stays at DF, then yes he was a definite user!

I still dont like and dont agree with the way this was handled by Jasper Admin.  I'm not sure what happened but they normally do a better job than this.

I think it has gone MUCH better than last time.  They seemed to stall and stall and stall.  If the hire happens on Friday, then this may be some kind of Jasper record for least time spent hiring.  :)

Apparently Bowman let the Jasper offer news out to serve his own interests.  Can't blame Jasper for that.  Jasper should have yanked the offer at that time on principle.

Can someone explain to me why a 29 year old coordinator who has never been a head coach has been hired over succesful guys like Alvarez and Valastro?
Not criticizing... yet. Just would like to know the reasoning behind this.
Kudos to the Jasper admin for going after a guy like Bowman! Even though the swung and missed I like that they tried to bring in a championship winning coach.

my guess is that they think he will prove to be better than the others.  maybe they liked the chemistry better.  Walkoviak was only 28 years old when they hired him and he immediately brought consistent credibility to Jasper football.  I would suggest that he was the best hire they EVER made.  In the past 60 or so years I don't think anyone else came even close to staying at Jasper 20 years.  Nor maintained his winning percentage over any appreciable time.  Here's hoping that Morgan does as well.

Hope this is true. Carthage has had quality/championship football and baseball in the same years and decade. Someone is doing something right up there in Carthage and it shows.

If this is indeed true we may have not hired the biggest name but I would bet we just hired the best coach.

Congratulations Jasper, you guys got a great coach. Tough for us in C-Town to lose him, but happy for him. Don't worry about his age, you will find he is not an ordinary 29 year old high school coach. Comes from great programs, has a family history with coaching at ALL levels! Jasper will be tough to deal with for a while now.

Good Luck to Coach Morgan and his family in Jasper.

IMO Jasper better hope he stays awhile because their handling of the hiring of now the last three coaches has damaged their credibility. The act of passing up quality applicants from this area to go after pie in the sky will, I think, hurt their chances of getting quality applicants from this area for any type job hire in the future. Wanting to appear smart and being smart are two different things. Good luck to Coach Morgan and the dogs. 8)

The board has voted or not voted?  Usually you don't give interviews until it's sign sealed and delivered huh?  Thought the board votes Friday?  Maybe they've already done it.  Congrats to Morgan.

      Port Neches-Groves (24) @ Huntsville (21) - FINAL

      By Rez · Posted

      It was a good game, and certainly one that could have gone the other way. Both teams are doing a few things right, and both have a lot to work on. As far as readiness for the playoffs, I’d say both teams are in the exact same place: We’re good, but we‘ll need to be better to go far.    And, Huntsville probably has the prettiest high school stadium I’ve ever seen.
