  1. Fight Eagles, Fight! Block their rear-ends off (like your brothers). The game is won and lost up front.
  2. Skyline is the Dallas ISD all-star team, they get their pick of all athletes in the district due to magnet school status. They can "recruit" much to the detriment of all other Dallas schools. Doesn't seem fair. They should be dominant every year, and usually are.
  3. These days the 1st year English/Science/Math teacher who has an alternative certificate wields more influence than any football coach, no matter how many successful men have come through their program. It's all got to look good on paper, make the administration look good, even if the teacher has an axe to grind for not getting "playing time" when they were in school.
  4. It's such a shame, Rusk is agreat littile town located in a beautiful area with alot going for it. They've had a good football program in the recent past - 2006 shared district championship and good playoff run, but nothing since then. I've heard they've upgraded their facilities, but are facilities alone of lasting value to their students? If they don't value their teachers/coaches enough to pay them a competitive wage the place will die a slow death - eventual decline, especially in times like these. You get what you pay for. In response to comments about the Supt., what's his salary compared to similar schools balanced against the OVERALL salaries of their teachers and coaches compared to similar schools? If you were a parent of school-aged children, would you move there if you had options?
  5. Why are there always several openings at this school? Low pay, perhaps? Why don't their administration do something about this, it's got to hurt the kids in their program.
  6. He's a pretty knowlegable baseball coach, but how far does that get you in smaller divisions of Texas high school coaching? Need to look elsewhere or learn some football. Baseball is a great pasttime, but football is king in Texas. Perhaps jr. college baseball or semi-pro is a good thing, if that's where your focus is.
  7. Settle down on the sidelines and quit jumping around like a cheerleader (as you did last year). You are a head FOOTBALL coach now, so act accordingly
  8. If a school does not have enough students to support a football program they should be consolidated. If a school is unwilling to support a football program they should be consolidated. This is TEXAS.
  9. Concerning Patton, there are grumblings at Rusk as he has not had much success. They were used to the playoffs, now becoming a basketball school. Evidently he rode the ability (and good fortune) of a few good athletes to get another job. The pressure is on him now to produce based on his own coaching ability and direction of a program. Can he respond? Will he bail out and try to get back down? Rusk is ready to move in a basketball-focused direction if he doesn't get the job done, after all this is Texas where football is king.
  10. John is a good kid who knows what work is. He will do fine in college and in life. Good luck boy!
