It was already official when you posted the news links from those rival websites. ;)

(also, it was official when I called it) ;D

[ljeicp08]

Just added a couple of quotes and posting a phone interview with Coach Alvarez now on kfdm.com. You can hear more from him tonight on KFDM 6 Sports.

The baggage may not be that of Coach Alvarez.  But it is still baggage there, and it probably would not have worked well for either party.  Alvarez is better off this way I do believe.  So is Jasper.  Just my opinion.
[/quote]This is so true We have a Good Young Coach and Ennis is getting what they needed.
[/quote]

Oh really???  Alvarez is better off?
[/quote]
surely more money at Ennis.  Jasper is more like a poor cousin.  anyway, why are KV fans so interested in shipping Alvarez to Jasper?  it sure seems that way.   ;)

I don't know if it was shipping him as much as resignation that he was not going to be in Kirbyville much longer.

[JB94]

I can't wait to see the good things that Alvarez does in Ennis. He's such a competitor - I have no doubt he'll be successful. Yes, Coop this is the big fish.

Good Luck to Coach Alvarez...I hope things go well for you at Ennis...

That's a nice site, Coop.

Is that customary to break down film during the interview?
[/quote]

WOW! That's hard to believe that the candidates had to analyze film during the interview.  That's a scary thought right there on many levels.  Assuming that they all know what he was talking about while a candidate was "analyzing" the film, does that mean that the committee members can have "input" during the season?  I dunno.  Just seems mighty strange to me.

Seeing who was on the committee, i felt the same way. Breaking down film doesn't seem like some of those folks forte considering their titles. Oh well.... Hope Alvarez does well.

I wouldn't necessarily call 11 years a "stepping stone" job.  I found it telling in the interview that he was contacted by the Ennis ISD to apply.  Folks in Kirbyville probably knew of this contact (which he may have gotten from other schools as well) and saw the writing on the wall.

[the sports guy]

I think your right on that one Grad.  Eleven years at one job.....as a AD/HC.  I dont think it was a stepping stone.

Congrats, and good luck coach. Im not sure about others, but he impressed me the way he turned Kirbyville around. Never thought I would see the day that they would beat us. Hes a great coach, with great game plans. you cannot look down on someone that wants to better themselves. I am sorry that K'Ville lost thier coach, but also know that Ennis is getting a good one.

Who on the committee had enough knowledge to actually critique a coaches ability to break down game film?

I dont think it matters anymore. LOL. Just because some people are on a commitee or a school board doesnt mean they cant understand film or havent been coaches in the past. ;) ;D They might have had an outside source breakdown film and do the analysis for them. Would make sense to me.

[CatFan81]

Good Lord, most of our male administrators are former coaches.  Not sure about the ladies.  That committee may know more about football than most HC/AD's.  You never know.

Hey everyone!

This is my first post, and I hope not to intrude.

I am an alumni of Ennis.

I know someone mentioned the stadium earlier. It seats 10,000. I believe it's something like 7,000 on the home side, and the rest on the visitor side. They upgraded the video board and sound system and installed new turf before the 2010 season.

I look forward to seeing what Coach Alvarez can bring to Ennis. The last coach we had that ran the Wing-T didn't work out too well.

Hopefully coach Alvarez can take the E-Train back to the playoffs!

That is correct.  In fact, he was one of those who introduced the spread to the Southeast Texas area via the 2000 4A DII State Championship game (owww....that hurt).
[/quote]

I was at that game. On the Ennis side (since I'm an alum). I remember WO-S had a stout D going into that game (#1 in 4A, giving up 7 points per game).

Ennis scored 31 first half points in that game.

  Coach Alvarez can (pardon the Kirbyville Piney Woods Lingo)..take the Wing T and show you more tricks than a monkey on a 20 foot grape-vine.... ;)

I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do. A lot of us are spoiled with the Spread offense that we had for so many years, and there may be a few who will have some of that "culture shock" going from the spread to the Wing-T.
