There will be a new lead Shark patrolling
the sidelines in 2016 following a unanimous
vote by the Palacios ISD Board of Trustees to
offer the vacant Palacios athletic director and
head Shark football coach positions to Jeff
Doege at last Friday’s Special Called Meeting.
After approximately an hour and a half in
Executive Session, the Board returned to
Open Session and Rob Kessler motioned to
hire Doege on a non-certified Administrator
contract for the rest of the 2015-16 school
year and the 2016-17 school year.
The motion was second by Donna Brune the
Board’s vote unified yes followed.
After exchanging handshakes with mem
-
bers of the Board and PISD administration,
Doege said, “I’m very excited for the oppor
-
tunity that Superintendent (Alexandro) Flores
and the Board have given me.”
Palacios is considered a promotion to
Doege, who’s was AD/head football coach
in Pettus the past two years and also the head
varsity baseball coach.
“Palacios is a fresh start and a new perspec-
tive,” Doege noted.
“This is a school system and community my
wife and I envisioned for our kids.”
Grinning ear to ear, Doege said he was ready
to geat started.
In his past two seasons at Class 2A Pettus,
Doege’s squads went 1-9 in both football sea-
sons.
Prior to Pettus, Doege served in the same trio
of roles in Class 2A Thrall. His football teams
went 12-20 from 2011-2013 and advanced to
the playoffs in 2011. As head baseball coach
he went 70-40-2 with three district titles and
two trips to the Regional Quarterfinals.
He has also had coach-
ing stops in Anderson, In-
gleside, Skidmore-Tynan,
Falls City and began his
coaching career at Hondo
in 1997.
Doege is a 1990 graduate
of La Vernia High School
and graduated in 1997 from
Southwest Texas State Uni-
versity.
