The other is resigned and I'm told is retiring. Hopefully for the kids sake that is all but I'm hearing things. We will see. A LOT of people are very disappointed. So basically they are down to what, 4 total coaches on boys side? Is the Coach Ed thing official now?

I think that is correct on the coaches. No public statement from anyone that I am aware of. Coach Ed was coaching 7th grade boys basketball this week. I'm sure he will do all he can for the kids 100% as long as he is there and allowed to. Always has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, I just hope we can attract a quality AD and staff, turn the page and move forward. Kids deserve it. There are great people here. Many are upset about the whole thing. Some want changes. Either way, I just hope it's an easy transition for the kids. Also wish Coach Ed and all the coaches the very best. Somebody is getting some good good ones..........It's a great day to be alive, and a Mustang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyRider Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Is there a new Supe at HS that wanted to bring own person in? Also success of softball team was probably a contributing factor in that they would go deep in the playoffs while football was not advancing as far far many years. Still, at least they made the playoffs unlike lots of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know HS never has or will be a "football" school, so maybe making the playoffs is their Superbowl. If so, congrats! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberty Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Always enjoyed officiating for Chris. Very real in his coaching in my experience. Hate to see coaches reassigned. Same thing happened to Coach Castles in Henderson....ask the kids and fans how they are liking that....I was told they aren't liking it at all... Sometimes wrong decisions are made. Hope Chris gets another gig, if that's something he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another will soon be announced as AD/Head Football coach at another school. I think the sports effected will be power lifting coach, assistant baseball coach, and assistant tennis coach. They were both great coaches and will be missed. from what I've heard they have told them all to "find a job next year" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyRider Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 The sad fact is that nomatter who a head coach is, there will always be distractors. Surratt has some in Carthage. Allen has some in Highland Park. Traylor had some in Gilmer. Most of those have never played or are living their lives through their kids. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wokewon Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) According to the Dec 12 board meeting Agenda, Athletic Director Employment is on the agenda. That would be a meeting the locals should attend to get some answers. Edited December 10, 2022 by Wokewon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard some of the coaches been subbing out the wrong kid. And too much discipline on another. Can't do that in some schools now it seems. Usually what's done in the dark always comes to light.

Nobody323 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 There it is coaches, the dream job! A place where you can be AD, HC, teach one class a day, hire an OC, DC, and three other assistants (if they clean house) and be told to do better than make the playoffs or you will be reassigned. Don't everyone apply at once! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
