playdefense Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Let me start by saying I have nothing against Coach Morgan - Might be the nicest guy in the world. Jasper has turned this process into a 3 ring circus again. The powers at be told others they were the frontrunner and led them to believe the job would be offered to them and then went another direction twice. People on the committee even went as far as to tell other people outside the district that other people were getting the job and I am not making this stuff up.I have lost respect for the Jasper powers at be - The people in charge of this from the get go used people to get what they wanted. Chris Coleman has always had my utmost respect, but this was handled wrong and he knows it.

I agree 100%. Why would I be mad Alvarez didnt get the job. I would much rather him stay in Kirbyville. I dont know anything about the other two coachs. I just know the Jasper administration and I know this could have and should have been handled differently.

I have never seen such cloak and dagger process with regard to the hiring of a high school football coach. But in the end, Jasper looks to have gotten a good man for the job and one who will guide the Bulldogs back to respectability....that is if things don't change in the next day or so.
Cowboys1981 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Remeber the circus two years ago when Bickham got the Job. Remember he was not the first choice he wasnt even in the top three.
Go-rilla Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 sounds to me like Jasper has a few more issues than who the football coach is.
playdefense Posted January 13, 2011 Author Report Posted January 13, 2011 I was not the dog in the hunt, but a friend of mine was and what they did was wrong. I have nothing against who got it - I am sure he will do a good job. They made this thing a circus when Bickham was hired and fired for that matter and they turned it into a circus again. When you send an e-mail to a prospective candidate and tell him he is the frontrunner and will be the next hc at Jasper - then live up to it. So, this will be the last post I make about the process and you guys can say what you want. Good luck to all of you.
pirateguy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I don't see how Jasper could have done this any better, and a circus? really? I mean if the offer was made to Bowman, I'm sure the Jasper Administration was led to believe that he (Bowman) really wanted the job and would accept the offer. If anyone here is to blame for the "Circus" it is Bowman, for leading Jasper on, and then making the private offer, public. Who can blame Jasper for trying to offer the job to a guy who has won three state championships? As for the "Frontrunner E-mail", [b]IF[/b] it was sent (I have serious doubts about that) then I feel bad for the guy, but I can't blame Jasper for trying to get the most successful man for the job.

MR. BIG Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 The guy emailed has won 3 state title himself and played for another.
jackhammer Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I think there are more coaches who have turned down the Jasper job in the last three years than there have been coaches... Anybody got a count of those who've turned it down? 1. Bowman 2. 3. 4. ?????Who is running the show over there in J Town?

ctowndawgfan Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 All I can say is Carthage really will miss coach Morgan. He is an amazing coach and even better man. You guys in Jasper have got a GREAT one. You will see soon enough... Goodluck!
KFDM COOP Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Here's The List Of Applicantshttp://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/hs/article/Applicants-for-the-Jasper-ISD-head-football-954755.php
AggiesAreWe Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 12 current HD Football/AD's applied, the rest were all assistants.
the sports guy Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 Sorry......but they should have hired Fred Hunt. He has the name going for him and.......look at what he has done! ;)
AggiesAreWe Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I was surprised to see not one Jr. football league coach/car salesman not apply. ;D

I don't think that Jasper really cares what any of us think. Why don't you explain the proper way to hire a head coach? Would your way involve coercion with ex-school board members and the Superintendent? People who are used to getting what they want?
cutiepie1983 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Posted January 13, 2011 I feel like Coach Alvarez was the man for the job--just my choice because I observed what he did in Kirbyville & the kids know what he did with Kirbyville- they wanted to work with him just as well.... now with that being said, I have nothing against who they went with, maybe he will be a great or maybe not, just doesn't believe the choice was in our teams best intrest! :)
