I know three of the applicants. Take anyone of them. Know nothing of Hudson from Howe (wherever that is) or Atwood from San Angelo Grape Creek (never heard of it either). Get the selection in, and let's get to work.

LV got a new sup from San Antonio. Bears be lucky to retain any coach and attract new ones under him I hear. Big changes coming and not good IMO.

Well, we are blessed with a great Superintendent in Yoakum. Any of these ap's couldn't work for a better one IMO. Makes the working environment enjoyable, having a guy like this.

Well, he's a Cuero native, what do you expect :) Tom is a great leader!!! His dad was the Asst Principal and then Principal at Cuero High when I was in school. and Tom's mom was the libraian for the district - family has deep roots in education.. Great family.... :) Anxious to hear who gets the job - I'm predicting Bo Robinson.. just a hunch :smoker:

I seen Bo Robinson teams play about 10 times and he has done a great job at Lavernia.
I think he would be a good fit at Yoakum . Brent Mascheck previous coach at Columbus
and is a good one. Both these guys have lots of experience as head coach .
Whoever gets the job will have a very talent bunch for the next few yrs

Fully aware where he hailed from once 44. LOL. Seriously, he's good people first, happy he relocated to the north end of Dewitt County and a honor ya'll gave him and his family to us.

Hudson is La Grange's former DC under Coach Walker a few years back, would be a great hire for Yoakum. Bo Robinson from what I was told was offered the La Grange job after Coach Walker left but declined the offer, not sure if it was money or if he had some issues with current staff to be retained. Looks like Yoakum has a solid field to pick from, Good Luck.

In class act, Coach Robinson advised his Bear athletes here today I heard. You'll be missed coach, and wish you well in Bulldog land.
