Nobody did more with the talent he had than Ricky Garza!

If you want to solve the issue of good coaches leaving the profession, or becoming extinct. The first thing that needs to be addressed is removing the AD title from football coaches. Most have tunnel vision and sell out other coaches and sports for their own. Look at the situation in Garrison, New Diana, and Spring Hill. All three of these schools had successful long -tenured coaches who have been reassigned or let go to fit the new football Ad's taste. What about the kids who wanted to play for these coaches or currently are, does their sports need not compare to the other sports? It seems that as soon as a new football coach is hired he is given the freedom to remove who ever he wants, not because they are bad coaches or people, but don't fit their football vision. The coaches who are let go now have to uproot their families and find another job. How is it that performance and loyalty to a community mean nothing anymore.

Innocent until proven guilty, hate it for his kids and the town of Rusk.

Anybody not rained out tonight?

Carthage has a good shot to make a run and play for it all!

I guess the ND baseball coach failed to force kids to play Football, therefor he has no job on the current staff. Way to go ND, you had a mess and made it worse by hiring a win at all cost football guy. I am boycotting this football season, at some point this school needs to wake up.

0-10... i grew up in Diana and am ashamed that my town would allow the AD to do this.

We all know that nobody coaches football during baseball season right?

I feel bad for the Baseball Coach! Guy does his job and wins, but because new FB coach wants his guy he has to move on. You cant say it is what is best for the kids, because evidently this coach has been helping them succeed. Diana should be ashamed for letting this happen to their most successful coach! I will GUARANTEE you the new FB coach already knows who his replacement will be.
