Bellville Job

[36phseal]

I heard that they completed interviews. Will they do a call back or do they have their man?

[rancher]

They are planning on naming their man at the board meeting on the 17th.

[tailingred]

I heard the head man @ Schulenburg might be in the running for this one?

He will be a senior and has another son who is either a fresh or soph. Both are very talented!

2A DII player of the year as a Jr, rarely left the field.

He started at quarterback and defensive end and kicked and punted for the Shorthorns, who advanced to the Class 2A, Division II quarterfinals before losing to Refugio and finishing the season with a 13-1 record.

Bludau passed 2,202 yards and 27 touchdowns and rushed 1,050 yards and 15 touchdowns. He had a 42.7-yard punting average and kicked five field goals, with a long of 45 yards.

Anyone know his record from when he was in Columbus to now?

[coach]

They should hire Bryan Baize. I hear his name coming up a lot and is the next BIG name in coaching.

[Bull's-eye]

Tommy Bludau has won 217 games as a coach, this puts him in 44th place all-time for Texas HS football. His career record is 217-103-4.

Also the senior is also a D1 prospect in Baseball.

Huey was 115-49 in Bellville, were is he all time in Texas?

[bigcat8]

Know for a fact Bludau did not even apply for the Bellvile Job....

I believe his all-time Texas coaching record is 119-85. Chancellor went 2-18 at Palacios before going to Bellville and just recently went 2-18 at Pine tree. Huey's best days were at Bellville, from 2001-2003, Bellville had the best football record of any 3A team in Texas (38-4) and from 2000-2008, they were ranked 7th at the 3A level with 86 total wins. Over the same nine year period, Bellville averaged 9.6 wins per season.

Ahhh the glory days. The million dollar question: Who's gonna be the guy who gets us back there????

[redball]

I think that man should be Mobley!! The players will walk on water for him!!!!!! He knows how to win, and he believes in the kids. I guess everyone has their favorite, but he would be my pick.

You're not gonna get a big time successful HC unless he's at a 1a or possibly a 2a. Grady would be a great hire for Bellville.

Rowe runs a very good program and has many 8+ win seasons

[Ernest T Bass]

Hopefuly they'll have him teaching a full load of core classes and they'll pay him the standard teaching salary. That's the Bellville way, I hear.

The district website has some info.

[BrahmaMom]

Welcome Coach Rowe! Bring it on, we are ready! Expectations are high and you have some talent coming in, after a lackluster year. Brahmas are a loyal bunch, you're gonna love us!

[Yoe_09]

Power run...I think Slot T. This guy is energetic...you will not have to worry about that.

[OldBison75]

Bellville will see an offense that is heavy on power running with timely passing. There will be alot of responsibility on the offensive line to make correct reads. His offense is a combination of a wing-T and slot-T. Most of the time you will see a wingback or slot back and tight end. He will test the linebacker on the opposition with swing and downfield passes to the backs. This offense depends on establishing a run threat first and then exploiting the linebacker and safeties coming up for run support.

Defensively, there will be a basic 4-3 style that uses the linebackers to make most of the plays. Lots of stunts and zone blitzes and will depend on the speed of the players to be successful.

[XMan]

I cant believe that Bellville people do not remember that ole Grady Rowe used to be the Smithville baseball coach bout 10-15 years ago. Smithville and Bellville were in the same district back then.

Sounds alot like Coach Chancellors old system both offensively and defensivly. The more I hear about him, the more I like. Energy/Passion is something that the teams of the past 1-2 years has lacked. Hopefully Coach Rowe can change that, sounds like he is capable...

[Red Bull]

Everything I hear about Coach Rowe sounds positive. Here's wishing him good luck in Bellville. I think all of Bellville's sports and student athletes are in good hands with Coach Rowe.

[Torch Bearer]

I do not know anything about him and he is probable a great hire. I would have thought the Bellville job would have attracted some big names or at least coaches from big time programs that have gone very deep in the playoffs. A 2A coach that has not won it all is a suprise to me. Good luck Bellville and coach Rowe.

When's the last time Bellville won it all? It's not that big of a job.

Surprised me also, just saying.

[BrahmaMom]

With over 200 applicants, I was a tad surprised. However, it sounds like the return of a system that worked for Bellville in the Chancellor years. I understand the players will meet their new coach this week--you juniors, step up and greet him and show him what you're made of!

[Torch Bearer]

No Bellville has not won it all Bass, and it might only be me that thinks this job should have brought in a big name. I know this - the pressure to win is there, most years Bellville has better athletes than the teams they play with a great mix of athletes, decent facilities, and a strong tradition of winning. Bellville also is a well rounded program that competes in every sport except girls basketball. Once again, nothing against coach Rowe, I just thought this job would land a bigger name or at least someone from a bigger program that has won a lot of playoff games maybe 4A or 5A.

You honestly think that a successful HC from a 4a or 5a would take a job at a 3a that's fresh off a 2-8 season and 2 years removed from the playoffs? That would be a huge step down. Now an assistant would jump at the opportunity, but from what I understand, BISD wouldn't consider anyone without previous HC experience.
As for successful 1a and 2a HCs, if the money's right you might be able to pull one of'em. Ive also heard that that was a bit of an issue(can't confirm, though). Either way, Bellville got'em a good one. If the athletes are there, Grady'll put'em back on the map.

[OLE'BULL]

When thinking back for the last few years 2A down, I do not remember hearing Troy as being a team to beat in the playoffs or even going deep into the playoffs. I guess I was thinking Bellville would take the same route as us and look for an OC or DC coach in the 4A to 5A ranks , guessed wrong. Time will tell.

They had a couple deep runs under Grady. They were a consistent presence in the playoffs, which is something they'd never been before.

[dog40]

Maxpreps had Troy going 5-5 last year and 2-3 in District play. Bellville plays a lot tougher schedule than Troy's.

[Red Bull]

I don't think you need to be a big name hire to win. Look at all levels of football and you can see that. Good luck coach Rowe and I look forward to meeting you on Thursday.

Not much in the way of athletes in Troy, America. I think their history shows that. No one's been anywhere near as successful there as Grady. He'll get the Brahmas back on the map.
Bellville ain't Southlake. You're not gonna get Todd Dodge. Honestly, Id say Bellville got a steal.

[Bull's-eye]

With all the candidates, Belllville had their choice of some very outstanding coaches. I'm curious to know what was the decidng factor to go with Coach Rowe? What made him stand out among an impressive list of applicants?

[FormerBellvilleBrahma]

Good luck to coach Rowe. I believe he was a coordinator under Birchum in Smithville back in the day. As a baseball coach, he did beat Bellville one year. Tied Bellville for 3rd, but lost to the Brahmas in a play-in game if memory serves me correctly. He is the brother of the Livingston head coach. Livingston runs an old style South Texas T type of offense. Rumor is that Grady was a heck of a softball player back in his Livingston days. Again, good luck.

Not making fun of anything, just thought it was interesting that Bellville would hire from a lower class level. You are right, no one knew much about our hire however being an OC or DC at a 4A or 5A with an impressive resume won out over HC's in the lower ranks with our committee. We will be ready next season and the season after that, maybe we will be in the same District again in a couple of years. Looking forward to the Bellville matchups, great rivalry.

[Red Bull]

Obviously, the committee in charge of hiring a new AD / FHC was impressed with Coach Rowe. In situations like this you hire the best person for the job. As I have stated before, the big name person is not always the best person for the job. Just ask A&M and Coach Fran. Todd Dodge at North Texas. The list goes on and on at all levels of football.

We will see very quickly that this was the right hire for Bellville. For all sports.

Get your licks in now for you may not be able to in a year or two.

[OLE'BULL]

Now that they have officially hired Coach Rowe, does anyone have the full list of applicants, or know where it could be found???

DC at 4A Fort Worth Alamo Heights, also won State Championship at La Marque as an Ass. coach. Coached at other schools as well, his family has a long history in coaching football( Father,Brother, Grandfather). Most of his Ass. that he has brought in were coaching in 4A & 5A, Our new OC was OC at either 4A or 5A. I would say most of my info. is pretty acurate, most coming from what the paper has reported on our hire. I am sure Bellville will be fine as long as they keep their Baseball coach, great asset to football as well.

[Ernest T Bass]

I would say that a coordinator at Arlington Heights is probably not gonna get much serious consideration for a job like this. One playoff win isn't very impressive. No doubt they've done a great job considering the cluster that FWISD is, but still not gonna get a gig like that. Being HC at Troy outranks that considerably, especially with the success he's had.

We shall see Bass, he will have his work cut out for him. Our list of coaches for our AD/HC was very impressive, so Coach Kates must have done something to stand out. Hopefully Bellville will be on our schedule again next year, should be interesting. Early post said Troy was 5-5 and 2-3 in District, was that correct.

Yes, last year. Also made the playoffs 5 of his 6 years there, as well as two trips to the 3rd round and one trip to the 4th round; and a trip to the 5a quarterfinals as an assistant.
I never said that Kates isn't qualified nor that he won't be successful. Just that on paper it's not very impressive, which is usually the 2nd most important thing when it comes to these hires.

I would have to disagree, I feel a successful 4A or 5A OC or DC would be just as impressive on paper. Unless the 2A or lower level coach has a State Championship or 2. Just an opinion, everybody has one. I would think how a person interviews would also be important, not just on paper. Bottom line he better win because that is expected in Bellville, Good luck to both. Great school with great tradition.

[Torch Bearer]

Some of the time the interview is a mere formality. The best interviewer does not always get the job. There are very few jobs that are actually "open". Most of the jobs are not really open, but the school has to advertise and there is always some connection to the hire by someone in a position to do the hiring. The good superindentents are the ones that get their guy and make everyone feel that he was the best choice and that takes talent.

Sadly enough I believe you are right. To me it seems a bit risky on behalf of the Sup. because if his guy fails, who is to blame? I am becoming more and more excited about Rowe but am just curious who else was coming after this job? Was Grady Rowe from Troy ISD really the best man for the job? I guess I have to back the School Board and Sup. decision and say yes. Only time will tell, good luck next year Coach Rowe, GO BRAHMAS!

Im speaking from experience. HC experience goes a TON farther than success as an assistant when trying to get a HC job. Every coach knows that the key to having a career as a HC is getting that first gig. That alone opens up numerous doors.

They may be the case but was not in the LG job, there were lower level HC coaches that applied. Guess it just depends who is on the committee, Thankfully we now have a new Super. who is here for the kids. What a hugh difference he has made.

I heard Bellville was looking for a coach with AD experience, that would leave out most of those 4A & 5A coordinators. I believe this hire was more than just finding a good football coach, Bellville wanted someone that would benefit all their sports.

I like the idea of hiring an up & coming successful 2A head coach. He is hungry & has also shown that he can handle all the duties of a head coach. Sometimes those coordinators don't always make the best head coaches. They are usually very good on one side of the ball, but you never know if they possess the skills to manage the entire team.

Very true, well said. Those AD/HC's are very hard to find.

[Bull's-eye]

I like to point out that Rowe served 8 seasons as a defensive coordinator, 4 of those years at 5A Aldine Nimitz.

[redball]

I am sure the Troy coach is a great coach. In my opinion they let a great one get away. Coach Mobley was one of the top 3 for the job. He has never been a head coach, but he is a hell of a coach. Has won 2 state championships as a DC. He is currently the assistant head coach at 5A Seguin ISD. He would have been great! Good luck to the one they hired though.

[Red&White_9x5]

So who was the third choice/ candidate?

[Torch Bearer]

guy from lamesa or lampasas or lam...?

[jrhernandez7]

wow great hire for y'all guys out there in bellville. I had the honor of playing for him for two years here in smithville, the guy is passionate, very vocal, and is a great fit. I was hoping he could come back to smithville sometime in the future. He is going to bring a great staff with him as well. More than likely he is bringing coach Mchoughly sp. with him to, and he can flat out find ways to score and teach the kids. When he was in the birchum staff both of them where major reasons why smithville made the playoffs in 98, and where very competitive throughout the late 90's. Baseball if i was bellville would hope he would get a outside hire, bc i was not impressed with his methods in that sport. but don't take that away from his coaching skills in football. I know bellville is a win now program so i hope he finds success fast.

Ohh realy well, where would you compare him to coach furgeson who took lg to the state a couple times??? I played baseball in bellvilles district for 4 years and never knew yalls coaches name. But i graduated in 04 so he may have got there after that. Not saying he is not good, just never heard of him lol.

I am sure Bellville will be fine as long as they keep their Baseball coach, great asset to football as well.

This is Cerny's 22nd year as Bellville's baseball coach.

If you do not know Coach Cerny, then you are not very familiar with baseball in our area. Would bet he is pretty safe, unless he wants to leave. Not taking anything away from our LG coach when we won state but he did have a future Pro pitcher on the bump and a lot of talent around him, Cerny does more with less talent year in and year out. Not saying there is no talent in Bellville , just saying he can do more with less.

+1, played 4 years for the man and he was one of the best. A class act who always treated his players with respect...

Hell, in '93 Cerny had the best player in the history of high school baseball. I think his name was Rocket or something like that.

I went early to catch him before the crowd. Great great guy. Very respectful and seems to be very genuine. He's ready to hit the ground running and make an immediate impact. Maybe I am letting my guard down too easily but I am sold on this hire. It was a surprise when I first heard but I think Coker hit this nail on the head. Well done

Was Rancher there to greet him?

Rancher was at Crossroads eating fish and drinking beer and telling everyone how it should be.

LOL!

The football boys met with Coach Grady today and from what I hear it went really well. The kids are pumped and ready to get behind the new coach.

[Manso/V8]

I meant Coach Rowe!

[BrahmaMom]

Sounds like Rowe might be a keeper. Best of luck to Coach Foster as he reunites with Coach Chancellor--hope they rock Rockport! And the Pasture is restored to its former stature in 3A football! Go Brahmas!!

So has anyone heard any other applicants? Or know where you can find the list?
