Sgt Rey is the same poster that was bashing the Beaumont Bulldogs youth football program(which uses Kelly facilities) in a thread that got pulled.

Any leading candidate for the Baseball position?

I bet the T-ball coach of the West End Little League has a great shot at this one if Kelly goes in line with the recent hire

I just heard this news and I am floored.  Especially since Haynes all but had his bags packed to move towards Beaumont.  Speechless.......

Surprised me too but was more surprised by the fact that a coach was promoted from middle school straight to the HC/AD job.  It is a little different managing a junior high team than it is to coach a HS varsity team.  He may have coached these players in JH but players change over time.  It's not a matter of plug and play based on previous knowledge, especially if that knowledge (of players) is outdated.  This is one advantage a coach already on the varsity staff has over a JH coach.  Watching them from the stands on Friday nights is not the same as actually coaching them every day in practice.

This is not a knock against Hartsfield as I simply don't know the man or how he operates.  The above scenario is how I would look at things from a board member perspective.  It may be that Hartsfield really knocked their socks off in the interview, considering that Haynes and Foreman interviewed as well.

Clint will do an outstanding job at Kelly.

I can testify for him because he hired me a few years ago to coach with him at St.Annes and I know personally how great of a coach he is. He is a hard worker, great with x's and o's, scouts and watches film as good as anyone, and more importantly, he is great with the kids.

If I were still in the Beaumont area, I would ask him for a job. I would go back to the private schools to coach with him again.

I have had the opportunity to work with some great coaches in my career, and he is one of the best I have ever worked for or with.

I'm very happy for you Clint. I know you will do well.

Take care and good luck buddy,

LOL MS coordinator to AD..... But hey his fellow MS Coach said hes gonna do awesome so HUZAH!!!!

[SHSUCardinal]

I am no longer a middle school coach. I have went on to win another state championship in basketball and one in football.

[SHSUCardinal]

But anyways, I am very happy for Clint. He will do a great job.

Good luck and take care everybody.

Wow.  Maybe a couple of advanced English courses would be in order.

[WTB]

Sounds like you should be the head coach then. You atleast have varsity experience

[Go-rilla]

I would like to say congrats to the coach they hired. I'm glad they showed loyalty to a guy that has been there 12 years. To all you haters I would like to say remember " I'm sure they asked the other older coaches and maybe even Long what they thought about him." If anyone on the inside had a real complaint on this guy the situation may be different. Yes it is weird that he is a MS coach, but the people that know him best are the ones that hired him. Best of luck to the Kelly Dogs

my 2cents!

What he said!

[bmtball]

Why do you all feel the need to rub this guy into the dirt?

1.  He is the head coach, not the only coach.  He is surrounded by guys who have the experience.  Those of you requiring your coach to have varsity experience, why?  He is not suiting up.  His assistant coaches and coordinators call their part of the game.  Head coach manages key decisions during the game.  Will he make mistakes? Absolutley.  But I have seen some of the most experienced coaches, in all sports, make rookie mistakes.

2.  Athletic Director at Kelly is not brain surgery.  With 400 students at Kelly, Hartsfield came from a school of similar size.  The number of sports at Kelly is not so overwhelming that Hartsfield cannot manage it.  Furthermore, its not like Kelly has been a perrenial powerhouse in athletics.  They have not gone far into the playoffs in recent years in football, baseball, or basketball.  Soccer is their most successful sport over the past 3-4 years. Coach Arrondale is still there.  Hartsfield has a trememendous opportunity to make his mark on the program immediately.

3.  He has 12 years of experience in the private/Catholic school culture and system.  He knows how to navigate around the Diocese of Beaumont school system and whom to reach out to , in order to get what he wants.  Not only does he know all the players on the field, he knows all the players who run the school.  Big plus, for those of you who have never participated in a Catholic school setting within the Diocese of Beaumont.

4. He has hit the ground running.  He is in the process of hiring a new baseball coach and adding to his football staff.

Is the right guy for the job?  Only time will tell.  But give the guy a break.  He is getting pounded on this board and he has yet to have a practice.  For the sake of his family, the parents and the football players he serves, please cut him a little slack.

[/quote]i agree but not EVERYONE knew obviously look back at what some people posted.

[Guest baseball25]

[Wreckem2011]

It looks like you are singing another tune now.

I think you atleast owe him a dinner or something ...

[Guest baseball25]

not singing no tune, jus like to see a local team win it all!!

[Wreckem2011]

Earlier in the post you couldn't believe that a "junior high coach" was hired for the job.

It's amazing how people change their perceptions about a person without knowing him.

[12gage]

Two things that helped this guy out, first and most important al rabb is there, and next taaps is very week this year.
