  1. Lookin, the thing that concerns alot of people that have been in the community most or all their lives is, who will run for the board now. After seeing what happen back in 2000 thru 2002 to the board back then nobody wants to subject themselves to this kind of stuff. The lynch mob told so many lies and made so many false statements about good honest people no one wants to be on the board after that. I also blame people in the community for listening to all the lies and not going to the school and readings all the board minutes during that period of time and finding out the truth, it is public record, all there in black and white. I just hope the board makes the right decision and soon, our kids are going to be so far behind it's pitiful.
  2. Lookin, if that is the case then ND needs to be looking for Principles, Supt, {and they did} and a school board. I blame a whole lot of this on some parents not wanting their babies punished.
  3. Flight, you are right on, I have no idea why they wanted someone with the degree to be an asst/principle, when Willie was there they did not need an asst. because he filled that spot without the degree. He will do the same thing now plus win some ballgames. Like I said before Willie Hargett is hard but fair, that is why the kids respected him and they walked a chalk/line.
  4. DMC, it is not just Diana people, your right all we have is the school, and the people that grew up here are wanting what is best for the kids,
  5. The committee went to the board 5 to 2 with the person they wanted, the board was the ones that said no, so yes it is the board./
  6. Billy you are right, the reason the board is like it is today is because of what happen then in 2000 and 2001. Good honest people who had the school in good shape were lied about by the lynch mop because there were a certain group of people that wanted to run the school, When the Sup and the AD refused to let them have their way then the poop hit the fan. Like I said earlier there was 4 people who got on the board and tried to ruin ND. They lasted 1 term and 1 did not even run again because he knew what was going to happen. The people who love this school and the community seen this coming but when people are determined to change things its hard to make people believe it.
  7. There was one board member then that told everything to the people in the community what was discussed in closed session and even added to what was discussed, what he failed to do was tell the truth, that board member is still there today. He run for a vacant seat that nobody else had signed up to run for so he was automatically put on the board and is still doing the same thing today that he done then. New Diana is still a good school district
  8. You are close, but not right on, Go to the school and look at the minutes of the then board meetings. When the board decided to purchase the land they probally did pay to much for it, but then again maybe they didn't. The board and the Sup at that time knew what they were doing. Before the lynch-mob took control of the board, the land was paid for and the district had 5.2 million dollars in resevre. The mob wanted to get rid of the Sup and wasted a half million dollars doing it. Then they spent another half million on the TEA to run their board mettings because they had no idea what they were doing. I agree the rest of the land needs to be sold, and if they were offered a fair price for it they should have sold the rest. The lynch-mob only lasted 1 term each but that was all they needed to destroy New Diana ISD. There is one member of the mob that got back on the board because he run for a uncontested seat that nobody wanted. He is still there today and needs to go.
  9. I agree with this, these board members need to go. But I do disagree with you about the committee, the people on this committee {at least 3} have an inside look as to what Diana is and has been missing for several years, total discipline, on the feild , in the classroom and at most school related events.
  10. I sure hope your right Fat, Diana hasn't been the same since he left.
  11. Wrong again lookin, New Diana started down hill in 2001 and it has been on a downhill slide every since. You are right about one thing there are 4 board members that need to go and if the people in Diana are smart they will do their homework and get rid of them. The biggest problem is this, nobody wants to run for the board anymore, you had one that got voted off years ago and got back on it because nobody run in a vacant slot and he is a total moron. Maybe he will step down because he wants to be Barney Fife.
  12. Why don't you tell us how the committee was such a flop the first time around, it seems to me that when you have 4 people on the committee that have been in the school business for over 100 years you might want to listen to them. The problem is it is people like you that think you know more than the people that work at the school or people that have worked at the school.
  13. Mappy I hope that you are wrong, I think if they are smart they will let the new Sup. talk to the committee and get their input the first time around, it will be the man they brought before the board the first time with a 5 to 2 vote. It was Willie Hargett. You had 2 people on that committe that has lived in Diana less than 10 years that know nothing about Coach Hargett that did not what him. You had one board member that started running the man down and I was surprised when I heard who it was. The whole community can tell you things about this board member that I know that this person would not want told. Sometimes people forget who they are and their past reputation, I will not be the one who call's this person out but they know who they are. This should have already been done and the coach should be working with the kids right now. Diana is in bad need of someone to come in and take charge.
  14. Cannot speak for why the board done what they did., just should not punish the kids for their mistakes. Should have already hired one.
  15. It was tabled for the time being, I think they will let the new incoming Sup. have some input, and I understand this but it is sure putting the kids behind not having a new AD and coach. I sure hope the board uses their head on this one.
  16. There is no way to compare which one of these coaches are great coaches or good coaches. Everyone of these guys deserves to be commened for the outstanding jobs they have done with their programs. Some of these coaches have been blessed with tons of talent thru the years and I applaud them for bringing that talent out of these kids. There are also very good coaches out there that are working with a lot less talent but bring out the very best that a kid has to offer. So IMO anyone that spends their lives coaching 16,17, and 18 year old kids are to be applauded. I know that they all sacrifice off time, family time and alot more to help these kids. So with this being said I myself think every High Scool football coach is not good but GREAT.
  17. Flight you are right, it is not personal, the thing that I disagree with more than anything is the Masters for an Assistant Principle that the board is requiring. It it going to be hard to find to many canidates that have this degree, I know there will be some that have it but most of the coaches that do are at 4 or 5A schools. The problem with bringing a 4 or 5A coach into a situaion like Diana is they are used to not having to do alot of basic things that a 2A school has to do. The money is just not there like it is in bigger schools. I don't know where this is going to end up but I along with others in the community feel just like you, we want what is best for the kids and we want someone who will stay for awhile. I know for a fact that Willie will probally die coaching footbal because of the love he has for it, and he would be very content to finish his coaching days where he coached for 20 plus years. If a younger coach does get the job and has some success he will be gone to a higher paying job as soon as he is offered one and then we are right back to square one, looking again. I don't condem a coach that is young doing that because he has a family to support. I know that Willie would stay as long as he could, he will not leave ND again if he comes back. He loves ND and always has.
  18. Flight you need to slow down, you are taking this way to personal, lot's of sarcasm in this post, no need to hate.
  19. Flight, my comments about Camp were inexperience vs. experience, thats all nothing negitive about the man or his coaching ability, I realize you have to start somewhere, but IMO there are alot more issues than just coaching here. There is tight stings on money and you need someone that can live on a tight budget, Willie can do that, there are disipline issues in the school according to several people that work there, Willie can handle that. There are several things involved in the AD position that IMO are going to be tough on someone that does not have the experience. I did not say one thing negative about Camp other than his experience. I did not bash any current personnel. I respect your position and I respect your opinion but don;t say that I bashed any personnel.
  20. Well everyone has their on opinion, but there is a school in our district that brought back a coach from the past and if you tell the people in Harmony to get rid of coach Russell you better be ready for a war.
  21. Oldcenter, you need to go back and read all of my post and you will not see one time where I have said any coaches was backstabbing or undermining so please don't start telling me to stop doing something that I have not done. As far as the backstabbing that was started the minute some people found out that Willie had applied for the job, and I might add it was not other coaches that I am talking about, but I know that there are people in this community that have called board members and tried to imply that Willie had done things during his last tenure at ND that was not true. I have stated that the things that have been said about Wilie in the past are lies and I challenge anyone in this community to back you their allagations with solid evidence. If the board does not what to hire Willie then so be it, but don't start lies about someone, there has been plenty of that in ND already. I also don't remember saying anything bad about you other than your lack of experience at the AD and head coaching level, and that is not a bash at your coaching ability, IMO they need someone who has already been in that position. As far as hiding behind a screen name, I will talk to you about anything that I have said, you apparently know who I am so I don't mind talking to you about this, I am not saying I will agree with you but I will talk to anyone about any issue, I have stated my opinion and I'm sure you have yours.
  22. Have heard that Coach Camp has been named interim AD until the school board makes up their mind what they will do. This is a joke, You put a man in charge with 1 or 2 years coaching experience and will not go ahead and hire a man with 40 years experience if totally stupid. The kids at New Diana are the ones paying for this nonsense. If New Diana does not hire Coach Hargett it is a shame for the kids, the school and the community. If you poll the community you will have about 30 to 40 people against him and about 1500 for him. Willie was at New Diana for 20 plus years and even the kids that don't know him want him because they have heard from people in the community who they need to build a winner. They have seen in the Field House the picture's of all the teams and winning seasons that Willie produced at New Diana and they want to play for a winning Coach. I know for a fact that the Coaches in our District do not want ND to hire Willie because their teams will have to 48 minutes of Football to beat ND. The kids play hard and want to win for not only themselves but for Willie and the community.
  23. Bird how can you of all people come on here and say it stink's for the kids, you was fighting against Coach Hargett all along, now you what to tell everyone how bad it is for the kids, you should have thought about that 2 weeks ago.
  24. Mappy New Diana does not deserve him but the kids do and that is what is important.
  25. Mappy you are right but it is hard for me to sit here and know that these people are so wrong, I am going to do some talking of my on to some board members and will bring a ton of people to the board to destroy all of these lies that have been told. In the meantime I will talk to Willie and see if he would even take the job now. If he say's he will this is not over.
