Smoaky Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Come on Smoaky you know "done fired a shot" is proper East Texas lingo. Saying "East Texas" and "proper lingo" together is stretching it, right? LOL. Have a great weekend. I've "done" got to enjoy a charity event in Dallas.

Smoaky Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Some help folks, please. Did Wayne Mahaffey coach only one year at Bartlett? Did he win the Class A state championship there? For those interested, I keep the historical section updated before each football season so people can know a lot more about their program's history, wins-losses, all-state selections, all-smoaky.com selections, players in the NFL---AND----an updated coaches information form. Here's what is under Coach Mahaffey's resume "BEFORE" this past season: Head Coaching Experience: *Bartlett 15-1 (Won State Championship) Kaufman 3 years 17-14 Wimberley 5 years 22-31 Rusk 8 years 50-39 Overall 104-85 Smoaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoaky Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Thanks, Smoaky. But was Coach Mahaffey only there for the championship year(1990)? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoaky Posted February 15, 2008 Author Share Posted February 15, 2008 Smoaky, maybe you have not spent enough time in REAL DEEP East Texas. We/they think different in the Thicket and it's suburbs. And to think I've been around here since 1977. Smoaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill277 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Shout out to Coach Mahaffey and his family. We love you and appreciate what you have done for Rusk and personally my family. Good luck in everything you do. Brian Joyner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGEagle30 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 As a former Player in Rusk and a current coach, I can appreciate all that Coach Mahaffey has done for my school. I do know how the business works and any time a coach is reassigned or fired, it strikes a cord in our profession. As far as the reasoning and events that added up to the eventual reassignment, we may never know and that's ok. You know... the 3 sides to every story thing. I do know this... the school and program is bigger than any one player or one coach. It's time to move on. Identify the problems and work hard to correct them. Build on the successes. The board needs to hire someone who has a long-term goal for the program and school. Give that man the time and resources to accomplish that goal. This is not an overnight fix. Rusk can't be Alto. (unless they get moved to 1-A). Look for someone who sees Rusk as a stopping point, not a stepping stone. When that happens, parents need to back the board and the coach. It's like someone said, "I don't come to your work and scream at you and tell you how to do your job." Rusk is a great place. Rusk has had some great players... now it needs a coach to build a great program that has great TEAMS!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
