Crosby hires new coach, Jeff Riordan!!

[scnorman]

Crosby hired their new coach tonight but he can not officially start until February 1st. He told some of the players that he would still be around before Feb 1st. Got to meet him and his family and they seem like really good people. Some of the players talked to him and they seem to like him. He told them he is fired up about coming here and really got their attention when he showed them his state champoinship ring. IMO a great hire but lets see. I know the boys are ready for him.

Is it Coach Jeff Riordan from Sulphur Springs?

[scnorman]

Yes it is him.

That's a hire that should make things interesting.

Sulfer Springs has had some good teams.  That could be interesting.  He's definately got a few good players to work with, unless their family closes on the two new homes in BH this month.  ;)

The best time to be the new football coach is before the season starts.

Good Luck Coach Riordan.

Congratulations to Coach Riordan and welcome to Southeast Texas!

IMO Crosby was one of the most talented teams that underachieved last year. Hopefully this new coach will turn it around. I look forward to a possible rematch this year. Congrats Crosby.

General question. When these openings come available, coaches apply, schools hire. Can the new coach start work at the new school immediately (middle of semester) at mid term or must wait til the school year is over?

Depends on the conditions of their contracts. Head coaches can start normaly as soon as they are hired. They are not under your typical teaching contract. New Offensive and Defensive Coordinators are usually on campus at semester change. Football has a TON of pull in this state.

Congrats to Crosby! Looks to be a good hire and he has something to work with! Coogs are going to just get better

[scnorman]

The new coach will officially start Feb 1st but he has been around the field house and school.

Congrats to Crosby on the new coach! Just a thought: I bet that ring is from 2008 when they beat us (Dayton) in the Alamodome  ;)

What all does Crosby have coming back?  I know Coach Riordan will get the most out of the Cougars and He will also be a great asset to the community there. I heard him speak at a clinic and He is very intelligent and passionate. Good Luck Coach Riordan. Crosby got a great one.

[mytwocents-28]

Both the twins i know that much.

Returning Off. starters, 1 OL, QB, RB
Returning Def starters, 1 DL, 3 LB, 2 DB

Several underclassmen played in backup roles & had alot of playing time

How did the lower classes do at Crosby? Looking at the numbers Riordan has done a good job of scoring points at Sulphur Springs. Looks like he has two solid weapons with the Walter kids.
