Will we be surprised?

Will it cause a "ripple" effect?

[88YoePride]

A: Maybe. I don't know what you wouldn't be surprised by.

B: What's your definition of "ripple effect" as pertains to this situation?

If it's who I'm hearing it will be, there could certainly be some sort of "ripple effect." Maybe a couple.

Yoe fans tell me  there  were  a lot of good candidates whom applied, which  has made the superintendent happy.

If it goes the way some fans think--- it may surprise folks  in Cameron and in Central Tx. 

Hiring practices at Yoe are sometimes questionable, but with this group of applicants  they should find a AD/HC that fits the Yoe   athletes  and the Cameron  community. Best of luck to the Superintendent and the Coach who gets hired at Yoe--, the entire athletic program needs a reboot.

Announcement is supposed to be made Monday. Yes, word is they had more than a few highly pedigreed candidates. I'm wondering how this crop compares to the batch that applied last time Rhoades left. 'Cause I heard some qualified applicants got turned away that time in favor a guy who probably came cheaper and could be more easily... controlled.

If it's who most seem to think it is, there will definitely be a reboot. If they let the guy coach, and help him with parents.

I know of at least one candidate who got the "you didnt get it call" today sounds like a decision is imminent

When Rhoades left the first time it would not have   mattered if Darrell Royal had walked through the door  Yoe Superintendent was going hire the assistant coach and home town boy. 

I was told this was a true search by a different Superintendent.

If this hire is anywhere close to the rumor mill forecast --it will shake up the Cameron ISD  as well as other Central Texas schools. It will put the athletes and parents on notice that things are going to be done differently at Yoe. Good luck Coach!

Interested to see how wide and deep this "ripple effect" really is......

[oldasdirt]

Always felt like Yoe was one of the “great” spots to coach at!

Great opportunities to be successful.

How many coaches from their last state championship are still on staff?

A couple. But the word going around is, if it's the choice everyone seems to think it is, he's bringing his own staff...

As long as it has positive results. And I don't just mean in the W/L column...

Wonder if his name starts with a "Le" and ends with a "ra"...

It wasn't just the superintendent.

Hey, I said "I wonder" Mr. Stepp!  Again, no one who hangs around the admin building will even admit that Le-ra applied for the job. Those people grew up here, they know darn well you can't keep secrets in this town.

if Fedora applied for the job he didnt tell me about..I personally think Cameron is too far away for him because he's not moving

[oldasdirt]

Don’t want to start a great debate about Texas geography, but when referencing “central Texas”, does that mean Brady, Brownwood, or Rochelle metro area?

I know I’m old but was just wondering where others thought “central Texas” candidate would come from? Probably not Rochelle!

[BuckNut]

Folks in East Texas consider Waco to Corsicana central Texas everything West of FW or Gatesville  to be West Texas

[oldasdirt]

Hmmm….

Being a Brownwood native, I never realized I lived in west Texas.

Brownwood to me is Big Country which is a subset of West Texas....Brownwood's got red dirt and Abilene TV stations....lol

Someone told me his wife is from Rockdale. But, I was also told his name was in the stack of applications, so... That's why I always say "From what I hear" or "Word is", etc. 99% of the time what I'm told by those in or close to "the clique" turns out to be true, but I know better than to assume anything or take anything for granted.

[CMat79]

I heard some really good candidates applied for this job. There's one around the north central part of Texas I'm pulling for but I don't think you can go wrong a few of the names being dropped around. 

Best wishes to Rick Rhoades in his retirement. Although last 2 seasons didn't work out well, he is still the most successful HC in Yoe history. It wouldn't surprise me to see him re surface somewhere in the future.
