Mike Waldie resigns at Daingerfield to become OC at Pearland High School...

I have read most of the posts on this forum and some strange patterns seem to have emerged.  Early on there were posters listing their top head coaches for the job from other schools, which is not uncommon for a thread like this.  Soon enough DA posts started showing up which is also not unusual when there is a HC job open at Daingerfield.  Then the current coaching staff bashing started coming up, again which is not unusual in a topic such as this.  And then, as usual, the bashing of the administration and school board began to show up.  So it seems to me this began as just a normal thread.

However, the personal attacks on people of the community have been extremely harsh.  The "fieldhouse man" attacks are some of the most disturbing to me because that man is one of the best men to have ever lived around Daingerfield.  I mean even to the point of one poster insinuating he is going incognito for not driving his classic truck around but instead opting for the camry which was his deceased wife's car.  The same one he has been driving pretty regularly since her death is ridiculous to me.  The accusations that the "little fat man" is running the show?  The remarks that the superintendent is just looking out for her own agenda and personal gain?  What personal gain could come from this for the superintendent?

I'm also confused by the posts of how dumb she is being led around by the manipulators, while claiming she is the one manipulating the selection committee, the school board and the entire town.  Which one is it?  Or, is it the personal agenda of some of the posters on here who are looking out for their own wants or who may bitter from past decisions?  

Whoever the administration and school board decide to hire, I am behind them 100% and will trust their decision even if I don't agree with it.  We always need to remember those actually playing the game on Friday nights are just kids and they deserve the support of the Daingerfield fans.

When you bury your head in the sand and expect other people to make all of the decisions without any direction from the majority, then you get what we have in America today division.  Who truly has the kids best interest at heart, that is the person that I want, and I do not feel like any of those people were truly given a chance.  I want to see someone that is willing to put the kids first, their own agenda last, and not only teach these kids football, but prepare them for their next journey in life and I am not sure that person will be in the meeting Wednesday night.  If I am wrong someone please set me straight, I want to believe that all of this mess is not right and that I am from a town and school that truly cares about the pride in the Kids, School, and Town.  Someone please tell me that everything that I have heard, seen, and read is just a bunch of propaganda, I do not want to believe it, but from the outside it sure looks bunch of selfish agenda seeking mess.

I don't necessarily think the school board is to blame for the discussion at hand here. I think they're prepared to take action against this if the info I've gathered is correct. Atleast a few are. 

I'm all for what's best for the kids and community. I'll still be there under the Friday night lights. I'll still bleed blue & I'll still be on SDC yapping away unlike all the new posters that are only logging in to defend their opinion. :)

I was just wondering how many pages this would be if only the people that paid taxes in DLS ISD could comment. Sure would cut down on the lip service. 

It would also cut down on the entertainment value.

What if I told you a legendary East Texas football town. Had it all until...

You could have a pretty good documentary when you tie in the town dying around the school too.

Agree with "don'tknowmuch". A lot of these comments are negative and does nothing but make DHS look bad. And some of the posters on here are putting half truths in their comments. Is it to make you feel like you know what is going on. Or to make some good people look bad for your enjoyment. Instead of trying to tear it down, put your efforts into building it up, who ever the new coach is.

Honestly if the situation would have been handled properly and not try and force "power" down everyone's throats. It prolly wouldn't be such an uproar. Logitech you're right about it making us look bad but hell we've been hated for years. It's 2nd nature now it seems.

It’s called “we didn’t get what we wanted, and we’re taking our toys and going home!” Also the same people to throw out “millennial”!

I'm not trying to be controversial here, but I am genuinely curious about how did they try to force power down everyone's throats?  I have heard information which directly contradicts what is being posted here.  For instance, I have heard outside of this forum that the school board president requested the top 2, not the top 3.  Inside the forum we have heard it said that the superintendent manipulated it to only be the top 2.  I'm curious which one is correct and how anyone who wasn't there would know this information.  Again, this is what I have heard as I was not there to see or hear it myself.

It is the top two chosen and why they were chosen and whether or not they are qualified or best qualified.  Trust me it will all come out eventually and the truth will set a few people free.
