Needs to get all males in the school in assembly soon. Talk about his scheme, culture, and his vision of the future. Help Drive kids maybe that got out of athletics to help push numbers back into it. Maybe sway some 1 way athletes to get back to football. Should be interesting moving forward.
But yeah, you're right, and I thought the exact same thing. At the junior high too. When I was in school, York would do that. He would scout the PE classes too. Tried to recruit me a couple times, but I had a bad leg break that kept me from passing a physical.

Refugio regularly had about 95 boys in high school, and over 80 played football. And Herring was known for being... abrasive. If he can get that level of participation, no other coach has an excuse.

if Fedora applied for the job he didnt tell me about..I personally think Cameron is too far away for him because he's not moving
Someone told me his wife is from Rockdale. But, I was also told his name was in the stack of applications, so... That's why I always say "From what I hear" or "Word is", etc. 99% of the time what I'm told by those in or close to "the clique" turns out to be true, but I know better than to assume anything or take anything for granted.

Thats not the name...pretty sure the guy who got the job got the call last night
Hey, I said "I wonder" Mr. Stepp!
Again, no one who hangs around the admin building will even admit that Le-ra applied for the job. Those people grew up here, they know darn well you can't keep secrets in this town.

When Rhoades left the first time it would not have mattered if Darrell Royal had walked through the door Yoe Superintendent was going hire the assistant coach and home town boy.
I was told this was a true search by a different Superintendent.
If this hire is anywhere close to the rumor mill forecast --it will shake up the Cameron ISD as well as other Central Texas schools. It will put the athletes and parents on notice that things are going to be done differently at Yoe. Good luck Coach!
It wasn't just the superintendent.

I know of at least one candidate who got the "you didnt get it call" today sounds like a decision is imminent
Wonder if his name starts with a "Le" and ends with a "ra"...

As long as it has positive results. And I don't just mean in the W/L column...

How many coaches from their last state championship are still on staff?
A couple. But the word going around is, if it's the choice everyone seems to think it is, he's bringing his own staff...

Yoe fans tell me there were a lot of good candidates whom applied, which has made the superintendent happy.
If it goes the way some fans think--- it may surprise folks in Cameron and in Central Tx.
Hiring practices at Yoe are sometimes questionable, but with this group of applicants they should find a AD/HC that fits the Yoe athletes and the Cameron community. Best of luck to the Superintendent and the Coach who gets hired at Yoe--, the entire athletic program needs a reboot.
Announcement is supposed to be made Monday. Yes, word is they had more than a few highly pedigreed candidates. I'm wondering how this crop compares to the batch that applied last time Rhoades left. 'Cause I heard some qualified applicants got turned away that time in favor a guy who probably came cheaper and could be more easily... controlled.
If it's who most seem to think it is, there will definitely be a reboot. If they let the guy coach, and help him with parents.

A: Maybe. I don't know what you wouldn't be surprised by.
B: What's your definition of "ripple effect" as pertains to this situation?
If it's who I'm hearing it will be, there could certainly be some sort of "ripple effect." Maybe a couple.

Yeah, this is curious. Torres was having success over there, and I heard a lot that players and coaches really liked him.

I wish Coach Rhoades the best in his retirement. I guess we will see what happens when the vacancy is posted and the hire takes place. As I understand this is a true hiring process and all coaches are more than welcome to apply. I understand Jack may be the chosen one for some in the clique, but this Superintendent as I understand is not controlled by the clique and will do his due diligence to find the most qualified candidate for the Yoe vacancy. Whomever gets the Yoe HC/AD job should understand getting participation of student athletes back into a once elite program is a must. Good luck to all that apply. Tough district to be in, with super athletes and good coaches everywhere you look.
Yeah, Sprinkles is another factor. One source told me this may be a career-defining hire for him in Cameron. I don't see all the responsibility being on him, given the influence of said "clique." The way I understood it, the board has always had a large say in such decisions. But as you said - We'll see what happens.

Pay is a problem also needs to be more and I bet more sign up
What exactly does an applicant need to go through to get certified?

I guess we will have to wait and see what happens when they post the vacancy. I believe it is a wide open search. Anything is possible in Cameron within the hiring process. The retirement is all over Rockdale KRXT radio station, so that blew the keep it low key until March. Cameron fans tell it like they would be shocked if Jack Rhoades gets the job. I believe Yoe is looking to clean house somewhat. If Rhoades stays in the field house until the end of February it may be a late posting for vacancy.
Really? What I'm hearing from everyone I've talked to is that they want Jack to stay and take over. That's what everyone thought the plan was from the day they signed Rick to return. Everyone thought he was bringing Jack in that year to groom for the spot, and was surprised when he didn't. I don't know - I get info from a couple of people in the "clique", but I'm not a member. I talk mostly to the fans. Maybe that's the difference?
Of course, there are a couple possible bumps in the road to Jack possibly taking over, from what I hear...
Also, word is at least four asst coaches immediately said they were leaving, regardless of whether or not Jack takes the job. And there are also reportedly two former asst coaches interested in the position...
