I was just clarifying. I've seen AD's that were good football coaches and also had experience in other sports. They were usually good for the whole program. I've seen some that were football only. Sometimes they had good football programs and sometimes not. But, the entire athletic program never grew under guys like that.

You don't want an AD that is well versed in other sports and supports both boys' and girls' programs? Why not?

The new guy was an assistant at Lorena. Not sure where Coach Hurst went.

Just saw they hired a new head coach. They are TRULY on a two year cycle!

Yeah. Run out song is “Back in Black” but it should be “Folsom Prison Blues” when those grey uni’s bust through the tunnel.

Not surprised at all. I've seen that before. I always check with admin before ordering uniforms. I know one school that ordered black pants. They wore them one game, and then had the most expensive practice pants known to man.

If uniform colors are the problem please tell me what color I need to order so that we can win state every year!!!!

That’s for sure! And it’s getting worse by the day!!!!!!!

Very true! Didn’t know all of the details.

Did they fire him?

I'm sure that being the brother of an admin had nothing to do with the hire.

Thanks for the response. I can't comment on how he currently treats kids or coaches. I have met him when he was young and he has always been respectful. He did not impress upon me that he was "slappy", and I've met more than a few "slaps".

What made him a slap? Again, I have no dog in the fight. I am simply asking a question.

Just asking. What interaction did you have with him to make you happy he is gone?

That is most places now. People are focused on results and do not understand that there is a process to success. There is no way around it. It takes what it takes (to quote the title of a book). You can't shortcut hard work and in today's society we often don't understand that. You are 100% correct that we expect instant gratification. From social media, to Amazon, to Door Dash. Anything can be had in an instant....except for the results that come from hard work.
