Smoaky Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I cannot speak to this...that would be a question for Coach Strong himself. Look for details such as this to be hammered out in the next few days. Coach Thomas' resume and offensive prowess speaks for itself so I would think that he would be a legitimate candidate. The coming days will be interesting. Look for Ch 56's own Reagan Roy to break the news because she actually knows Strong personally. I just want to be the first to officially say congratulations to Coach Kerry Strong! Bamaboy, Expect a call from someone in position of making a recommendation for their next head coach after this season. Yep, I received a call today asking about Kerry Strong based on the never-ending Kerry Strong, Mike Thomas, Coach X-Y-Z mentions each time there's an opening. You have no idea how disappointing it was to tell them the truth, which may keep your front-runner off the list, of course, just kidding, I think.

pizzchips Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Taken from the Big Sandy ISD website. "Kerry Strong is beginning his 13th year in education, his fourth here at Big Sandy. Kerry is the Head Basketball and Cross Country coach and is also an assistant in football and baseball. Kerry graduated from Spring Hill High School in 1996, Kilgore College in 1998, and the University of Texas at Tyler in 2001, all with honors." REALLY?!?!?!?! Also, according to the homecoming roster. He has a doctorate in history and an IQ of 197. So he has that going for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuleSlicks Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Looks like the coach in question made some very bad decisions to try and get some wins. Trying to save his job? possibly. But there are no excuses for the actions he took. He and anyone else involved must go. On the other hand, it's not up to any coach, or teacher to be the primary teacher of the kids character or morals. That should lay with the parents!!!!. Don't send your delinquent kids to school and expect the school to teach them good morals and respect. Parents must take responsibility for their kids. I do not know how all this went down, but this should never have happened like it did. If the school administration had any backbone, these kids would have been in detention or worse, with no opportunity to be in any extracurricular activity, and with that decision taken completely out of the coaches hands. Like I said, this may or may not have been the case, I don't know. The Pine Tree administration and school board needs to get their heads together and find a good coach with good moral character for appropriate leadership of the team, and not base his salary on how many wins he gets. Remember the coach can only coach with character in hopes of producing a winner with character, its up to the kids whether or not they want to be winners. Pray hard that you find the right man for the job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluelion Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 This is not even the beginning. The superintendent probably doesn't know about the practices that were conducted prior to 2-a-days. Our sons were INFORMED they they needed to be at the school for those practices on the week of July 25. I guess Pine Tree is also exempt from the Uil rules as well. Any football player there can tell you that they were told to participate in those practices. The practice field is in view of the public. However, there is a lower practice field that is hidden. This is where those practices took place. I definitely am not a critic of what coaches do, however I do believe they should show class and integrity. Our sons are with them for the majority of the year. They have our kids for hours per day for 9 months a year. The PT coaching staff is showing that rules can be broken, and they don't give a damn what anyone thinks.....including the UIL. Well Well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjw7633 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 They have a zero tolerance policy, a kid shouldn't be doing a parents job anyway in regards to the girl from Boston. The students were busted on campus according to the story, and I believe there is a zero tolerance policy for drugs on campus regardless of if it happened when summer school was in session or not. If they want to smoke dope, you see that dumpster behind the food fast or what not, go there. As for the kid that has been accused of statutory rape, the AD/Head Coach changed the wording in school policy to allow for them to play. One can be a labeled a sex offender at the age of 10 in the State of Texas. If this kid is convicted, they will have to register as a sex offender. If a kid has charges hanging over their head, in my opinion they should not be allowed on the field, until those charges are dropped or they are found innocent. DaveTV1, your're one of those idiots. The girl from Boston has proof that she has done nothing wrong, she went there to help out a friend only knowing that the friend needed a ride. I'm sure that cell phone records can prove that! I believe in doing whats is right, we want our kids to grow up and be strong upstanding citizens, well that starts in the early stages of life not when they turn 21. Im sure if this was your child then you would be able to see this for what it is. In my opinion this girl is a hero she may have saved a life that night.

I guarantee if it was my child, I wouldn't want them to be picking up drunk friends at some party. I would have called the kid's parents and let them know the circumstances their child was in and under, and if they didn't have a backbone to go pick up their child I would have. There's an old saying being at the right place at the wrong time, well this is the perfect example of that. I would bet if the parents of the drunk kid would have shown up while the cops were there, the police probably would have released their child to their custody. While some on SDC think we live in a police state, there are some police officers that still understand that a child's parents disciplining them is better than them having a P.I. record.

This was about the kid who went and picked up her intoxicated friend. The kid that was not drunk who was punished, you're so stuck on the drunk kid that you don't even realize that the other young lady didnt do anything illegal, she was only trying to help her friend get home safe.

It is about being at the wrong place at the wrong time regardless of the intentions. My point exactly, that was my first post, If the powers that be know that this young lady was not drinking, she didn't even attend the party until her friend called her for help. Why was she suspended for 5 games its stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjw7633 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Zero tolerance is a dumb policy. It only takes one person to start a fight. So you're telling me that if you're out at the football game this friday and I see you and become upset and attack you, are you just going to let me beat you into the ground. I would hope not, you're probably going to defend yourself. Well, now you have broken the zero tolerance policy. Are you going to say that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, no you're going to say that its wrong for you to be in jail because you were only defending yourself. Until you wear that persons shoes you may never understand but I really hope that you do find yourselves in this position one day so that you can become more sensitive toward issues that are happening in the real world.

The kid that was not drunk who was punished, you're so stuck on the drunk kid that you don't even realize that the other young lady didnt do anything illegal, she was only trying to help her friend get home safe. I know she didn't do anything illegal, but would you want to let your daughter go to a party to bring home one of their drunk friends, or would you want to go yourself or escort your daughter so she's not even mentioned by the police to the school district ? I realize this thread is totally separate, but I wanted to show a case that even if you're a bystander and the police are called many school districts unlike Pine Tree would still punish the student, because there is ZERO TOLERANCE for drugs, alcohol, and tobacco with school districts today. Back in my time period there was the smoke hole. I don't remember any athletes going there, but as long as you were 18 or your parent had signed a statement saying you could smoke there, you could go. Drugs and alcohol would get one suspended if they were used on campus, and you would not be allowed to participate in UIL activities. Fitzhenry simply made the policy to where one could be charged, but the kids would not be punished unless they were convicted. That's ludicrous to me. This still doesn't bring into account the incident during the halftime of the Van game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
