We want to go "in another direction" from the current guy in charge, you know, the one who hired this guy for his staff and been a part of what has transpired recently, so we'll totally considering hiring that guy to replace him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbankman Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Interesting list to say the least. I’m not sure who will get it out of a list like that. I would assume one of the coordinators out of the DFW area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If an internal guy has to go through the interview process then he isn’t a real candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily, sometimes districts conducts a robust interview process to satsify constituents and then go back and hire the internal guy....Round Rock, Taylor, Arlington Martin, Del Valle, Saginaw Boswell, Medina Valley, Richmond Foster, Bonham and Bowie are a few examples of schools who did a full interview process and then went with the internal guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the trash can of going totally opposite of what the superintendent recommended. After, he said”I don’t know what to say “ and apologized. I hear you. I could write a book on BS moves Boards have made behind closed doors that they think nobody will ever find out about. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collincountyfootball1 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 I think Whitewright is struggling from the same issues that a lot of smaller towns in ETX are struggling from. Migration to bigger cities from the younger population. My father coached at WW in the early 2000s when they were making deep runs under Coach Stringer. Over the last few years I’ve seen the slow decline in the talent pool at WW. No longer are the same families that once lived there for generations living there anymore. Lots of kids have migrated to Denison/Sherman etc. For example, one of the top DEs in Oklahoma at Durant HS. His mother is a WW grad and she moved him to Sherman before ultimately landing in Durant. Many more cases of kids like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraysonFan Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 WW still has talent. They have more than one senior this past season that has signed collegiate scholarships. Their problem was they recently got out of 3A-II and a district with teams like Gunter, Bells, and Leonard that they had not shot of competing with. I think they will be fine if they said in 2A-I this next realignment and hire a decent coach. They are in a pretty weak district. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
