He was in on the job last time it opened it up You should probably move this to the rumors, gossip. and hear say thread. First off it has nothing to do with Harleton job and secondly Keeling wasn’t in on the Center job last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Still not posted on THSCA job board. Could be wrong but that usually means it's a done deal, just waiting on 10 day mandatory posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Don't hire an old guy that's just gonna be there a few yrs. Don't hire a young guy that just looking to use it as a stepping stone to get to a bigger job. Find a guy that #1 has proven he can turn around a program, even if he was a coordinator. #2 find a guy that wants to be in Harleton for an extended period, consistancy is a big deal for long term success Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanky Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Always amazes me a guy will get a job and you look at his record, been a HC for 15-17 yrs and has 60-70 or so wins. That's about 4 wins per yr. Not impressive, but he's got experience (losing)! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justafan Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 They did contact Keeling. I know that for a fact. 2 of the board members told me. Keeling told them he couldn’t or wouldn’t come because he has kids in Waskom. He also said he wouldn’t come unless the job was AD/Head Football. He was there #1 choice.

Don’t neglect the character of the coach either, just like we don’t need to neglect our own character development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanky Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 I think you missed my point, a guy that's been a HC for 15 yrs and won 60 games is not successful. That averages out to a 4-6 record. And either an old guy that's going to be there a few yrs and retire or a young guy that's going to be there a few yrs then move up, both are not good for long term success. The school will be hiring a new AD and probably new assistants every few yrs. Schools that do that don't have continued/long term success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
