jonathanw55 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's all about the stupid, rumored racial comments. I've been around the gentleman on many occasions. He is far from racists. If West Brook truly feels that the he is the best candidate for the job, then hire him already! This is a coach that really does care about his players, and expects discipline. He doesn't play the favortism game for any child, including a school board member's child. If hired, he is hired to win football games and make his players better. Not to please every parent or every school board member's child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tupac7 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 All you need now is a big top and an elephant and we would have a circus. Once again BISD looks like a bunch of morons. I believe Coach Flannigan will do a good job, but I would hate to get hired like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig220 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I saw the WB Principal at the meeting and he was ticked off. It is unbelievable that the politics almost killed this coach's job and then back to the process for another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMTSoulja1 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 So, Somebody explain to me, truthfully, what the 'drama' was about, not a 'I HATE BISD' rant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig220 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 It is my understanding that Flanigan refused to start some influential citizens' children, including a board member's child, at Crosby. The board member then basically poisoned the water. When the community members found out BISD wanted to possibly hire Flanigan they called a BISD board member and here we go. Stupid.

I see. So basically, the Crosby board contacted BISD simply to blackball Mr. Flanigan, correct? And this caused all kinds of havock in last night's selection?
