I’ve never seen so many people upset about a guy being let go who didn’t actually win anything. And if 3rd and 4th round exits is good enough for you, then that’s part of the culture problem. Expectations should be high as can be. What’s the point if you aren’t trying to win state in a place that has won it before and has talent that is capable in many years. Thanks! Can anyone tell me when an ISD was paying someone for being a "good man" or a "christian?" I honestly think i'm both but lord have mercy my job doesn't pay me for neither. #performance 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just seen the impact he has made on many young men's lives, including my son. 2. Never won anything? Really? Pretty ridiculous comment. If you mean never winning a state championship like 99% of the coaches in Texas High School football...no, he hasn't. His won/loss record at Henderson stands for itself and will be a record that will not be broken at Henderson for a long time. 3. Yet another ridiculous comment. If you knew him and his expectations for his staff and players every year you would know that he expected to win state every year...if you are a successful coach you always expect that. 4. Talent to win state many years? Hardly. Especially in the classification they are in...and we will see just how much the coaching aspect means in the next several years. Some of the Hendo folks assessment of their football and baseball talent is so ridiculous and so over rated it is truly laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hilarious and absurd to me that y’all are acting like this guy was the GOAT. If you expect to win it every year, you better deliver on it at least once. Especially if you are open about that and making it known to people that may have a say in your employment. Let me ask you this, since you don’t think the Hendo talent is there... you said Castles expected to win it every year. So I guess you are saying he was wrong and shouldn’t have? He overestimated his talent? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would anyone "buy" a house when your only going to be somewhere for a couple of years and your wife is still at Desoto? Yeah, she was leaving Desoto 3 years ago too. She signed a contract at Ft. Worth Brewer to work with Peterman BUT never resigned at Desoto. She stayed. What job has she taken in Henderson? I’ll hang up and listen....

Lumberlion82 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The administration have made their choice why are we still having this conversation. The old saying Coaches are hired to be fired. Some leave on their own accord some don't. Not the first time someone has been hired without the full support of the community. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D line maybe 2 guys for tackles and ends, backers coach , corners coach, saafties coach and the coordinator gonna coach one of those so yea 5 sounds about right. Plus they used to have 4 freshman coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it doesn’t affect the administration it’s their way of throwing up the middle finger to the administration. Been there done that.
