That applies to pretty much every AD hire.
Yes but this is EF we’re talking about. More directed at them specifically in context. This is the school that with admin in place has let more than one HC/AD go that went to the 5th round of the playoffs. I do hope it goes well, never rooting against anyone. EF just has a track record that speaks for itself.

This is false as well.
Your right I did misread that one, she was an elementary ASSISTANT principal… even better.

You got me again… I will re-phrase she has never hired anyone as important for a district as the HC/AD. Her first time doing so was in a very rare circumstance that was way outside of the norm for any school district. She was not alone on the committee but was the main voice in selecting the final candidates that were presented to the committee.
“Never hired anyone” was hyperbole. She has been a campus head principal so has probably hired a few classroom teachers before.-

I’ve seen guys comment on a message board not knowing the interim sup being referred to is a female and not a male also. To your point no, she was not alone. My main point was EF placed someone who has never hired anyone in the position of leading the hiring committee for the HC/AD which is a big decision for the district.
The next point was someone not from the area may be walking into a situation that is yet to develop. A good relationship with the Sup and Campus princiapals is imperative for a new HC/AD and those positions are all still up in the air. Might not last long if a lot of things don’t go right in the district. -
Congrats to Coach Ragle, I know a lot of people wanted him last time. Hope it works out for him.

Yep, I'd take a lot of money across state lines and wager that when this process started that an OC from Wichita Falls was not what the community was hoping for. Knowing some of the names that were floated out there as front runners at different times in the search, this is a bit of a head scratcher. But hey, that's what can happen when you give an interim Sup the keys to the city. It will be interesting to see how long this relationship lasts with all the administrative changes that have yet to be made. I'd set the line at two years tops, wouldn't be surprised if it was less.

Was this the “home-run”???

The code has been broken.
Sorry, just the Jack Alvarez reference on a different thread as a “main dish during the holidays” has put me over the top with code speak lately.

Pretty sure the new AD is undefeated against WR.
The new AD was 11-29 at Brownsboro.

Current state of affairs aren’t that bad. The poor decision making and communication was the issue. That has been alleviated. The person I’m referring to has a vested interest. I believe that person could repair a lot of the issues and find a good coach.
Hope that’s the case. I was referring to the AD spot. Rooting for whomever takes over in both positions.

I hear ya. Just curious. It’s gonna take someone special to want to come in and be apart of the current state of affairs. Definitely going to need someone with a vested interest in the community because the longer this goes on, it ain’t looking good for the candidate pool.

The reason a coach wouldn't touch this place is leaving. Things will only improve. Why do you think it has taken so long to even bring finalist to the board? A person who should take over is already employed by the district. Hire that person and the district will be set for years to come.
And that person is?

I've heard the same thing
Board agenda for 2/14 is posted on school website.

Sounds like I got my home runs mixed up, but wasn’t far off. Seems like the answer is simple then but would cost the district a heavy severance package. Unfortunate.
-
One of the more interesting situations for sure. Pearson, 11-29 at Brownsboro, is brought in to keep things rolling at a program he used to be at but that will be completely different when he returns. New HC/AD (obviously), DC, OC, and HS principal. On top of that he is a retire/rehire so can’t officially start until the current school year ends. Get the popcorn ready for this one.
-
Heard a former EF HC/AD withdrew his name and was potentially the “home run” candidate. Other than that three current Louisiana coaches with East Texas ties who either also withdrew or were turned down by board. Heard there was early clamor for another former EF coach with some decent support but Sup balked because he would have been a retire/rehire (currently at Hallsville). Seems like the board/community and the Sup have different opinions that aren’t quite matching up. This search has gone on for a long time, interesting to see how it ends at this point.
-
I believe Pearson is a defensive guy. When he was at Brownsboro the offense was a Flex/Wing-T style.

Won’t get any argument from me on that lol and you act like I didn’t know that !! That’s why I said the best hire SINCE Chad Morris but since we being honest Chad did get EF and several other Schools to Jerry’s World so let’s not act like he rode anyone’s coat tails lol Morris would of won State with that 97’ team going away.
Chad Morris is a great coach but like most who get lucky he Struck while the iron was hot at the places he went. Stephenville being the one thorn in his side. EF has Had some great coaches and great staff in the past, but they are a shell of their former selves. The Sup is a stagnant idiot who prevents progress. EF will probably make another subpar hire when it is all said and done, and everyone will gobble it up like it’s Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells.

If the board and supe do what’s expected I got a feeling this might be the best hire EF has made since Chad Morris ! #JacketPride
Chad Morris inherited a team with 5 D1 players at the 2A level that had gone to the third and fourth round consecutively the previous two years, 13-1 the year before he got there. He has gone on to have a great career but not like EF wasn’t successful before he got there. Benny Mitchell laid the foundation for Chad Morris’s success at EF.

Assess the ability of your players and run a system that fits their strengths… even if it’s not a 100% carbon copy of the previous staff.

Thanks for the coaching philosphy there coach ghandi
You're welcome. Thanks for the pessimistic view of change is bad and everything must remain the same in order to be successful.

You guys think the board there is smart enough to go for a guy that wont change the offence? will there be any 1 on staff?
Plenty of coaches out there that could come in and make some changes without having to abandon the schemes that have worked for them in the past. Think of Coastal Carolina and what they do with the triple option out of shotgun. Good coaches come in with a plan to assess what system best fits the players, not just the system they prefer to run.
UPDATE: Elysian Fields hires Justin Crow

1.) Eric King
2.) Benny Mitchell
If you have a technicality that makes you right and me wrong go right ahead. Mitchell may have 13-1 and not 14-1 in 1997. I was little back then, so if you have the fact check you win bud. It completely disproves my point that EF has ran off good coaches and also had some really good coaches come and go after 2-3 years.
