WOSgrad Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Matt Stepp of the Old Coach is reporting that Bob Jones is out as head coach/athletic director at Shepherd.
idk Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 do you have a link to that, is he the only one that is reporting this?
idk Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 I will say this, as of right this second he was not reassigned.
WOSgrad Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Posted May 1, 2012 Perhaps a resignation in advance of this:http://www.shepherdisd.net/docs/1-board%20agenda.pdf
idk Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 He had told his kids and most everyone about a month ago that he was leaving to go back to his home town to coach. I think he has already been giving the head coaching job there.
idk Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 Jone's contract was not renewed about two months ago, but he school board was not going to reassign him due to not wanting to spend or wast (however you want to look at it) extra money. He had one year left on his contract.
idk Posted May 1, 2012 Report Posted May 1, 2012 that should read "The School Board" and "spend or waste" sorry I can't spell today.

I_Can_Do_It_ALL! Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 Are they going to open the job, or do they have someone in mind?
cat001 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 [quote name="1KatKiller" post="1216846" timestamp="1335892730"]The Bullet is out at Shepherd.[/quote]He was not very well liked by the people in 22-3A I can tell you that.
bjimbo Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 So who is in charge over there for the rest of the spring?
MEM Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 Wasn't surprised at all when I heard the news several weeks ago...He was making over 80k a year and Shepherd was horrible other than the year that his son was a senior and playing QB for them...Not sure what it would take for Shepherd to be a legitimate player in dist 22 3a...

PlayActionPass Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 Not real sure I have ever heard a place get ripped as bad as Sheperd has on "the Old Coach."Is this place really that bad?
idk Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 EastTxguru, Do you live there? If not then I don't know how you could answer the question. I will say that Shepherd has it's problems just like all of the other small towns (and if you don't think your town has any problems then you are just fooling yourself). There is a lot of politics in this town and parents don't seem to get that little johnny needs to work hard and earn what he gets instead of the parents playing politics and getting little johnny his spot. Most of the better kids don't even play sports due to this fact. Can Shepherd compete with Coldspring (no) but they could play with the other teams in district if they could get parents to buy into the system and kids to play.
jdb44 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 The best way for the program to have a chance at success will be to give the job to Chip Keel. He loves the town, loves the kids, and I believe the town will give him a chance.
idk Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 jbd44, I agree with you, Chip does love this town and I do think he can get the parents to buy into the program. Most everyone in this town will give him a chance. Chip will care about all sports and get as many kids involved as he can, he is great with the kids and will always do what is best for them. He is just a really good fit for Shepherd.I will say this that I think Coach Jones is one heck of a Coach.
EastTxguru Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 LOLOL!!! Praise the Lord, no I don't live there but I know lots of folks that do and have seen the results of some of the village idiots in action...aint that right JDB???? They just about ruined one of the best young men that I have ever had the pleasure to be around...proof enough for me...hope they do give it to Chip...if anybody can get them going it would be him.
jdb44 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Posted May 2, 2012 I will say this, some meant it for harm, God turned it to good. Here's hoping Chip gets the chance.
1KatKiller Posted May 3, 2012 Report Posted May 3, 2012 Didn't Keel apply for the Deweyville job?? maybe he's ready for a change..
