Ive seen it many times. you get a great coach that has winning and dicipline on their mind and you put them in a very political(little Jimmy) school, and they dont fit. That doesnt mean the coach is bad, he just doent want to be a puppet to parents and over zealous schoolboards. I dont believe in bashing anyone, especially when we dont know the story.

Giddings school board people will have their way with him.  The school board controls everything... they had 3 members on the hiring committee and the final interviews were JUST with the school board. They were looking for someone to fit their agenda. Good luck to him.  [b]I guarantee he will be told to fire the head girls basketball coach[/b].
[/quote]I wouldnt be surprised

And guess what? The school board has their YES MAN. He told the girls bb coach to resign or he would be reassigned to middle school. All new coaches asked to leave.. way to go Giddings. Girls Bball played in the state final game last year...

Jones did a good job at Post, they went 3-7 this year playing pretty much all sophomores...they had a total of 4 seniors on the team...the numbers are way up in the junior high program and he left that program in very good shape.  Jones has a very good track record including his time as an OC at Sinton where he helped get them to the state championship game in 2001...he did a good job at Refugio as well...Jones is a very good hire for Giddings..the issue in Giddings will be talent..they simply dont have as much of it as they did a few years back.

The problem is that he got rid of every (black) coach on staff.  He got rid of the girls BB coach that went to state last year, the softball coach who is going to 2nd rd of playoffs tonight, head boys track and head girls track.  Marlow (baseball) got reassigned to Golf next year from what I am told by some people I know there. The people here are ticked off and are starting to complain. It isn't like he is bringing in people from the NY Jets.. he is bringing them in from Post.

He has connections with two coaches on staff and one board member. No one can fault him from being recruited by these people. Not my point. The point is that he is ruining winning programs.  3-7 is not good enough, not for Post, and definitely NOT FOR Giddings fans. Hope he rents here. I give him 3 years before he and his people are replaced.  I am told they are going to cancel the game against WO-S for budget reasons, but probably to save face. They will play Burnet in Burnet, Brookshire IN Brookshire, La Vernia at home, etc.

Giddings still has plenty of talent. The class where this falls off is the current 7th grade class.

[/quote]like i said before people in Post were complaining. Not saying he's not a good coach (ala in refugio) its something about him now-a-days thats not rubbing off very good with the communities he's now coaching in. I give it 2 years before he bolts or gets bolted.

Sounds like some very ill-advised moves are taking place at what is currently a very good 3A program.

So I'm guessing at least so far the hire looks OK...Jones has Giddings playing very very well

Fitzhenry left a loaded team. No props to Jones. Wait until the kids trained under Fitzhenry leave.. they will lose.
