ArmchairOC Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Yep, I'd take a lot of money across state lines and wager that when this process started that an OC from Wichita Falls was not what the community was hoping for. Knowing some of the names that were floated out there as front runners at different times in the search, this is a bit of a head scratcher.ย But hey, that's what can happen when you give an interim Sup the keys to the city. It will be interesting to see how long this relationship lasts with all the administrative changes that have yet to be made. I'd set the line at two years tops, wouldn't be surprised if it was less.

Hirschi had a great run last year and the school is closing, which should create an avenue for him to bring coaches with him who want to pick their own spot. I think this might be a really good hire for EF.ย 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Crow may better than all "of the names floated out there". Did the interim Sup make the decision by himself and then vote by himself on the board meeting? I have seen situations where "hiring authorities" have more details about candidates than folks inhabiting the message boards. It is rare, but it I have seen it.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmchairOC Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Iโve seen guys comment on a message board not knowing the interim sup being referred to is a female and not a male also. To your point no, she was not alone. Myย main point was EF placed someone who has never hired anyone in the position of leading the hiring committee for the HC/AD which is a big decision for the district.ย The next point was someone not from the area may be walking into a situation ย that is yet to develop. A good relationship with the Sup and Campus princiapals is imperative for a new HC/AD and those positions are all still up in the air. ย Might not last long if a lot of things donโt go right in the district.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArmchairOC Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 You got me againโฆ I will re-phrase she has never hired anyone as important for a district as the HC/AD. Her first time doing so was in a very rare circumstance that was way outside of the norm for any school district. She was not alone on the committee but was the main voice in selecting the final candidates that were presented to the committee.ย โNever hired anyoneโ was hyperbole. She has been a campus head principal so has probably hired a few classroom teachers before.ย 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the only reason. And every coach on staff and half the community knew Ford was retiring. I doubt Chapman, Fordโs boss, didnโt know he was retiring. Chapman didnโt want to go thru the hiring process and asked Ford to stay multiple times. Chapman wanted it as easy as possible.ย Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
