KarnackKing Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Reading on the Old Coach, it's remarkable of the situation that Jefferson and Italy are in. These two places sound similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swearinger Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 I find it odd the Principal has complete control over the AD, and not the Sup and Board That is the way it should be at every school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreestoneCounty Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 From what I gathered, the supt and the OC at Hughes Springs are old classmates and he got the job. All were told to be quiet on being interviewed, my guess is so the board doesn't know who else was in the mix. One of the best coaches in Deep East Texas was interviewed. District champs at least the last 5 years in his AD/HFC role and has a legacy of great coaches in his family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawgman Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 That is the way it should be at every school. Wrong!! AD is over athletics 7-12 at least. That is multiple campuses and this works with multiple principals. Should have a say in the hiring process at all levels. He should report to th supt and school board not the HS principal.

In fact if it would've been done this way from the beginning then all this confusion could've been avoided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestoneCounty Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Was it the Principal and Hughes Springs OC then? Maybe I got the info incorrectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangstampede Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 The principal usually will have a say In who is hired to teach on his campus. So he does kinda have power over the AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg665 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I am hearing Antwan Jimmerson is the man for the job.I've heard the same. I don't know him but it seems like the news has a lot of people excited if true. From what I've gathered he was the guy that the majority wanted in the beginning. Guess we'll know soon.

DoubleTeam Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yes he was. He will be a good hire. Turned it down at first, not sure what changed his mine, glad it got changed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanGreenDogs64 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Yeah he was on the 86 team. Jefferson needs an old school guy like this. Â Â Hopefully he is a no nonsense guy. Discipline is needed in the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruthTeller11 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I have no idea, is it this guy? Â Jimmerson's career at Booker T. Washington ended when he resigned in January 2010 after a scandal in the school's athletic department. He also was the Hornets' athletic director. Jimmerson was sanctioned in October 2009 and suspended for that season's final two games after Tulsa Public Schools officials determined that more than 40 Booker T. Washington athletes in four sports participated in competition while they were ineligible due to recruiting, residency and academic violations that included failing to conduct eligibility grade checks a violation of Oklahoma Secondary School Activities Association rules. That discovery forced the Hornets to forfeit three football wins and cost them a playoff berth.

TruthTeller11 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Sounds like a good football coach, not so sure about anything else.. but that is just reading up on him, have no clue on him personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Rab Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 If he can get people to move to Jefferson, recruited or not, he would have done a helluva job lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyClydePuckett Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 While the Principal certainly should have a say so in who is hired to teach on his campus and therefore should work WITH the AD on those issues, the fact that EVERY successful program has an AD that reports DIRECTLY to the Superintendent NOT the Principal is why it should not be the other way around. The HS Principal has a full time job as it is and should not be directly over the AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
