ETxFB299 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Center’s athletes will not go 0-10, 1-9, etc. Regardless of what happens or who is hired, Center will have a competitive football team every year. Was it a good idea to split it? Probably not, however, if they hire a guy that knows his X’s & O’s, can relate to the kids, and is passionate about coaching football.....they will be fine. The AD role is administrative only. That person won’t coach any sports at all! Splitting this job is not a reflection of the brass at Center ISD. It’s a clear reflection of the previous AD’s mismanagement of the athletic department. Sounds to me like we are trying to save our program from whatever has went on these past few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'int my circus, but i truly hope it works out ... sometimes adults forget it's all about the kids ... so I hope the change is good for them. But I'm seeing Center with 3 or less wins for nine of the last twenty seasons ... I hope their decision is the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trueblue82 Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Looks like Center folks are trying to reinvent the wheel here. I was once told, by a very smart man “If you’re gonna cheat, cheat off the A student.” In other words, look around at places that are successful and see what they’re doing and you’re not, and try to use them as a pattern for building a successful program. Now, if they could only find a nearby school similar to their size that has had recent success, someone that they could copy? Anyone? Hello! ...........

blesseddaily Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I've never been anywhere that the AD and Head football position was split so I have no idea how it is structured but it seems to me that if the head football coach did not have the AD responsibilities they would have some classroom duties. If that is the case there are not many experienced football coaches that would go for that, at all!! Now, on the other hand, if the head football coach did not have any of the AD responsibilities and headaches AND also had no classes to teach, you might have a large number that would apply for that gig!!!

I would definitely think that the new AD would have to be in place and have a big say in who the new football coach would be since they will have to work together to make the whole athletic program a success.

Ok, hc is hired, then ad is hired and comes in with his holier than thou attitude and says to head coach, you know we have to run the spread in order to compete and the hc is a wing t or slot t guy, that is like pouring gasoline on a dumpster fire.

LSUTIGERS Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 2 minutes ago, playactionpass39 said: I figured that is what you meant. Hearing some talk out of Center. The Intermediate principal wants to be the Athletic Director. The Junior High Principal wants to be Head Football Coach. Both are former coaches, but neither have coached in over 10 years. And, here is the kicker, both have sons in the program. Hearing if this combination is hired, the counselors will be overrun with transfer demands!! Things are getting interesting in a hurry. Bring on the popcorn and let the show begin. Daddy ball!!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
