KarnackKing Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 This is typical East Texas politics. Absolutely unbelievable. Too much small town "who's in power". How is that Allen ISD, clearly a jaugernaut is multiple UIL events, hires a new head football coach in about 48 hours. And you know there's politics in that district, but somehow they took care of that important issue of hiring a ball coach. Well done ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I never saw where it was actually reported other than on theoldcoach(and he just owned up to the uh oh).....all I saw was that he was being recommended. That has nothing to do with being hired. The only ones I saw saying he got the job were simply posters on forums. Yeah, it was a few Members saying it was a done deal. Smoak and Stepp just reported that it was a recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRusk2009 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I heard it was a done deal. As mentioned above, too many politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLineEATS Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 The two Big Birds wanted Frazier.... The twin/board never did. Hate it for Frazier, but he did the right thing. Getting hired by two birds retiring next year, and working for a board that didn't want him would be bad. This want small town politics either.... It was known from the beginning that Frazier wasn't wanted. Town*/board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Unless any of us where in the meeting and know exactly what and why, we can't say it was politics. did WR offer Frazier more dough at the last minute? One of the questions we have to ponder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I do believe that earlier in the day KETK was reporting that he would be the next AD. They worded it that way on purpose but if you read it, it said it was a recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle8 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I heard it was a done deal. As mentioned above, too many politics. But from who? Not from the source. Nothing is a done deal til its a done deal. How could it be a done deal if the meeting hadn't even happened yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KarnackKing Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 But if the supt recommended him, and the board did not support the supt, then they should be hiring two new positions rather than the one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoaky Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 All the media outlets were racing to be the first to break the story. I can't speak for everyone else, what I reported was Frazier would be recommended tonight, and in fact, I also added, "per school board approval," because I've seen many of these deals go sour. In the end, he backed out, but never once did I report the job was his at Tatum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRusk2009 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Either way im happy. Im glad John has been given the nod by a school like Tatum, hes damn sure earned it. We are keeping a great coach and great person in our community. Best of luck Tatum in your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattStepp Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I think it was just me to be honest, I ASSumed it was a done deal and it wasn't..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crankshaft Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I wonder if all schools would get as much attention as this one and Daingerfield are getting. I know that they are winning programs but when is enough enough. Let the boards do their jobs and comment afterwards when it is all said and done. Go wash some clothes.

Guest 4to3 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Just saw this over at TheOldCoach.com Per Matt Stepp HC in DFW with some East TX ties A Div. III assistant coach An assistant coach from the Houston Area A current East TX HC Matt Stepp Senior Analyst [email protected] @Matt_Stepp817 So this leaves the other three in and the East TX HC out.
