That's one of the rumors that are flying around my little part of the world. My sources tell me that the Wichita Falls ISD school board is hot and heavy into recruiting Kent Jackson to be the next head coach in Coyoteland. Interest is high because it would be a smooth transition. Each of the past 2 Coyote lead dogs worked under Jackson at Olney HS and Old High has run a version of Jackson's Flex Bone attack since the late 90's. This is a very intrigueing situation. It makes too much sense for this not to be true. Any of you Sweetwater folks heard anything??

I'm so far out of the loop, I have no idea. Isn't it getting a little late to still be looking for a coach?

Not like they have to recruit. Whys it too late?

This is just my opinion….and no offense to GreenMonster…

When you are blessed to have the caliber of a coaching staff as Sweetwater has the past couple of decades (plus) you have to consider yourself as very lucky. Coach Jackson is the latest to bless our young men and women with the morals and leadership that is so important in developing not only athletic, but true life skills to carry on. Coach Jackson is a awesome Christian man, as well as a father, husband, … I think you know how we feel..
If he is being recruited by others (or not ) we should respect that is totally out of respect to him and what he has accomplished. I for ONE hope he continues to stay in Sweetwater for a few more years... But, that is where ALL of our problems are…
We want him to stay for us.!
What about the Jackson family (enter other coach’s name here) ??
If they wish to pursue goals to higher levels in public schools, college or the pros, we are proud to have had them as a part of our team!
I will get of my “High Horse” now… I just wanted to say how I felt and If and when Sweetwater has to find a new coach, lets hope we can “Get RDone” , like we have in the past.

We're already two months into off season football. I would think a coach would want more time to work with the kids and get them more acclimated to his way of doing things, his offensive and defensive schemes and to evaluate the talent. It's not too late, but it's getting there.

In that case, it's too late for a coach to be looking for a job, but not too late for a school to be looking for a coach! Would you suggest that a school without a coach stop looking?

No, I'm suggesting that a team still looking for a coach in March is already behind the other teams in their district. If a school wanted to turn things around they wouldn't wait until now to bring in a new head coach.

I've been told by more than one coach that Spring Break is where they set a cutoff. After spring break the coaches that have jobs aren't as likely to move on. This gives them enough time to go through some offseason football and get to know the kids.

That sounds reasonable to me.
If Jackson took the job he would be putting Sweetwater in a bad spot by leaving them without a coach by Spring break. From what I've read about him, I don't think he would do that.

I looked back over some old threads to see when Greenwood named their new Coach last season......it was March 15th. Which, I guess, left Ozona looking for a coach AFTER that date!

I don't know how screwed over they felt....they hired a coach and went pretty deep in the playoffs!

But I have a question, how did our coach screw anyone over? That date wasn't his decision, it was the school boards!

It is just a rule of thumb people, it isn't set in stone. Coaches are hired every year after spring break and even into summer.

It was his decision to leave Ozona in March wasn't it? Just because it was Greenwood's decision to wait until March 15th to hire a coach it was still his decision to accept. I'm glad things worked out for Ozona. Maybe it's comon practice for coaches to quit on their kids in March. How many 4A and 5 A schools are still looking to hire a new coach? It's not a rhetorical question, I don't know the answer.

I know that Fort Stockton was looking for a coach for a while after Greenwood named theirs.

Greenwood started the hunt around the first of January, after Bob Purser accounced his retirement.

Then started the job of getting resumes, interviewing, weeding them out, interviewing more and finally getting down to the top 6, down to the top 3 and ultimately the one we hired.

That process took about 2-1/2 months from beginning to end.

That's why Fort Stockton is Fort Stockton. How long did it take Cooper to replace their coach?

Since I know next to nothing about Cooper, their situation and their coach, that date really means nothing to me.

Maybe it is kinda crappy for someone to leave a school at that late of a date, I don't know, never really thought about it that much.

I don't know what a coach is supposed to do if the school board of the school he is trying to get hired on with seems to be dragging their feet.

That was our gripe last year, we couldn't figure out what was taking the school board so long to make a decision.

Well tough chit, aint always gunna happen...

Look, at the start of April kids aren't even supposed to be practicing football in th e 3A level, pads or no pads... they're still doing offseason and conditioning...

Maybe the coach has a relative with cancer, wants to move closer to the relative, which is closer to home in most cases... until a job comes up, and until the interviewing etc... is done, the guy isn't going anywhere...

Maybe the coach is receiving heavy critisism behind closed doors, too much pressure, wants to get out of the situation before it effects not only himself but his family, and in some instances the kids he is coaching... Do you want him to just 'blindly' take a job so everything will be done fast enough for your standards?

These decisions take a lot of thought... I could see your points if it happened in AUGUST (unless the situation was totally understandable), but it's March, or the early part of April, no football is going on in the first place... As long as the kids get time with their head coach for a month and a half to get a feel for him it should be all good...

But if he does leave in January (most HC's being the AD's as well), what does that do to the basketball program? The baseball program? The track program? Especially if the AD is heavily involved in all of those sports... Maybe the best time for him to leave would be graduation???

And the last time I checked, these kids were in school... whether the coach leaves or stays does not effect them being in school... However, the coach is making a 'career' move, something that directly involves putting food on the table for his family etc...

Back off the guys, they're making risks that effect their families greatly, it's not like they're doing it to be a-holes or anything...

They also crapped on the previous coach and told him he was done before the season ended so they were one of the first to hire. Not the greatest of situations and it was imperative to get a coach in there ASAP just so he would have a chance. Sweetwater is a highly coveted job around the state. It wouldn't stay open long and it would draw some big time names just because it's Sweetwater. Not only that, but Jackson would have to get everything he wanted and a few perks kicked in on the side to take the Old High job. He has a ton of talent coming back for next season and I'm sure it would take one heck of an offer to get him to move. Therefore, it may be a big waste of time to even discuss this. Then again, don't you guys love debating "What if's." :devil:

I think there's a little more to coaching than x's and o's and practicing in pads. There's also getting kids in the right mental frame of mind to be competitive. The 2006 football season started the first day of off season workouts. Maybe it's different in Cuero, but most schools don't have the athletes Cuero does.

I'm not against coaches leaving to better themselves. Many people outside of coaching have had to make similar decisions and deal with similar work related issues - pressure on the job, wanting to move closer to home, etc... You can leave and go somewhere else in a manner that's fair to everyone. and still attain the quality of life factors that are important to you.

And I personally believe that it'd be safe to say that more than that will be open within the next month...

Another thing to factor in is that some coaches have kids in school...

I remember when Coach Monty Stumbaugh was leaving Cuero as the offensive coordinator in '01 to take over as AD/HC at Port Isabel... #1, that's around a 4 hour drive... #2, his son was graduating that year and wanted to graduate in Cuero... He was back and forth between PI and Cuero for a loooong time there for a while with interviews etc... but when he got hired it wasn't too early on if I remember correctly... seemed to work out alright for everyone...

mid march isn't to bad at all. alot of the coaches wait until after realignment. that's early feb. start putting in apps.(1A lindsay had 36 applicants for their job). after all the interviews with all the applicants mid march at the earliest seems to be the time to start hiring someone.

Ah, Gobbla, of course my world is perfect! I've had people that worked for me leave to take better paying jobs. There's nothing wrong with that. All the ones who were considerate and gave me ample notice usually did well.

Life is most definitely not fair. I can't control the actions of others, but I can control my actions and my consideration for others.

And last but not least - I'll serve this "gotcha" on a platter for you - I do not coach.

But most of the coaches that leave late 'do' give notice... they may not leave early, but when they do they give notice... the ones that don't should...

And it wasn't a case of "gotcha", I honestly was just wondering...

I would say Coach Stumbaugh's case is a little different than what I had in mind. He left a coordinator position to be a head coach. I don't think that set Cuero back as much had it been the head coach. As a head coach at a successful program he has to expect other teams are going to come after his assistants.

Of course it is different since he wasn't the HC at Cuero, but he was the offensive coordinator... the offensive strategies changed with the new coordinator...

BUT, my point was "Why" some coaches leave later... it's not always a wake up in the morning and forget about your players type deal... there is reason and thought behind a great majority of these coaches' decisions...

I know WFHS finished 6-4 last year and I don't know what the expectations are for 2006. I think they would have more options if they were interviewing Candidates in late December/January than starting now. I realize it's not their fault - call off the dogs!!!

Why not promote from within? Give someone a year and if it doesn't work out you can go after a deeper pool of candidates at the end of 2006 - instead of being saddled with some retread who's been passed over for a 100 other HC jobs already.

I would have to agree. Hirschi needs all the help they can get. If his son wasn't still playing, I think another name that could be mentioned for the WFHS job is Green over in Windthorst. I Know going from 1A to 4A would be a big jump, but if Scott Ponder could go from Petrolia to WF Rider, I think Green could make the transition as well. By the way Green Monster, would you mind telling me your real name. I got a guess who I think you are, but I want to be sure.

Ron King, “Head coach of the Odessa Bronchos.’’
Even King, who just minutes earlier had been approved by the ECISD school board as the 26th head coach in school history, had a hard time wrapping his thoughts around that statement.
He did smile, though, much like many of OHS fans are.
The newest OHS coach comes from within the program, which is something athletics director Gary Gaines, superintendent Wendell Sollis and OHS principal Ron Leach said was very important.
Still, when King finally had a moment to catch his breath, you could hear the wonder in his voice as a lifelong dream had come to fruition.
“It’s been a whirlwind, really,” said King, who is a Class 5A head coach for the first time. “You never know just how much your life can change in five minutes, but it really can. It’s amazing.”
King’s coaching resume is solid, with all of his experience at the high school level coming in District 3-5A — at Odessa High, Abilene Cooper and Permian.
A defensive coordinator for the past 10 years, King has helped coach teams into the playoffs seven times, with five district championships or co-championships under his belt.
King is a stickler for discipline and a proponent of doing things right. If the players don’t, King is not afraid to jump into the middle of the action to execute the play the way it’s supposed to be run.
“I have no doubt that Ron will have the players working hard and representing the school well,” Leach said. “He has the respect of everyone in the athletic program and in the classroom; I know, because I’m in everyone’s classroom every day and I see the way he runs things.
“This is a very good day for Odessa High, the football team and the athletic programs.”
It is a football program that is in a state of flux, as is every program when a change happens at the top of the food chain. King has been helping out as the interim campus coordinator since retiring coach Scott Phillips began taking care of his elderly parents earlier this year.
That’s why — although King said he wasn’t informed by Gaines until Wednesday night that the he would be recommended for the position — the newest 3-5A head coach broke some of the suspense by attending the OHS soccer games at Ratliff Stadium on Tuesday.
“It was my job,” King said, laughing. “I couldn’t comment on anything because I didn’t know. I was getting quite a few calls from everyone and I had to answer them all with ‘no comment,’ and I meant it. But it was nice to get that phone call on Wednesday.”
With the promotion, King became the first district head coach since Steve Warren at Abilene High in 1996 to be promoted from the same staff to the top spot. Warren was promoted after Gaines left for San Angelo Central in 1996.
The last coach in Odessa to garner that honor was Tam Hollingshead at Permian High in 1990. Hollingshead was promoted after Gaines left for Texas Tech University in 1990.
Gaines on Friday recommended King for the opening to run the OHS program.
“I owe my coaching career to Coach Gaines,” King said. “He was the one that hired me at Nimitz Junior High in 1986. And then Coach Hollingshead and Coach (Randy) Mayes.
“This is a great opportunity for me, and I’m going to work hard to continue to build the program that Coach Phillips started here at Odessa High School. We have a great bunch of athletes, and I’m looking forward to getting started.”

Before you start talking smack and trying to get a rise out of the rest of the Sweetwater fans...I believe its spelled "losers" not "loosers" and "their" not "thier". I find it very hard to even comment on remarks made by people who can't even spell. So if you want us to think that you know what you are talking about at least try to act intelligent. Otherwise, people just laugh at you.

Old News. Talk about more recent history.

Go back last 16 games and only 9-7 Sweetwater w/pivotal game coming from bonehead play by our Qb or would b 8-8 so just about as even rivalry as you can get. Also, I graduated high school not knowing how it feels to lose to Sweetwater as they were as bad in the 70's as we were in the 80's.

Yep, the 70s sucked alright.
But I thought you didnt want to talk about "Old News".
By the way, the most recent history has Snyder losing in the first round, and Sweetwater going to the semis.

Not this year for three reasons. Jackson is a smart man and he realizes that Sweetwater has more talent on this team than probably any other team he has coached here. He will wait on this grade to graduate and then he will move on with them. He did the same thing at Olney, he graduated all his talent and left the same year. It gives the appearance that he is a better coach than what he actually is. Secondly, having been around Jackson and played under Jackson he would definitely want more time to work with a team than what is being given. Finally, no matter what is coming this next football season, this track season as well as next he should add to that State ring he always wears.

I'm more of a Young and the Restless kind of guy. See, I'm still kinda young and when I'm bored I get restless and I invent crazy rumors to spread on the DownLow. Kinda like this one. I totally fabricated this "RUMOR" just to see what would happen. :devil: Hope everyone enjoyed. Just in case anyone wants to know, I am a Kent Jackson fan. I first followed him while he was in Olney and loved the way his teams played and the fire he brought to the sidelines. He has done a magnificent job in Sweetwater resurrecting a napping giant as well. He's a good'un folks and you Sweetwater faithful should be proud to have him. He would make a great fit at Old High but he would make a great fit anywhere. Great coaches can win no matter where they go. I know I personally would have loved to have had the opportunity to play for him or have him lead my hometown boys on to victory. I know that I have seen some of you guys post that he has a track record of bailing out as soon as the talent pool dries up but I have to argue that. In Olney, there wasn't any talent until he arrived. Yes he did leave after a particularly talented senior class but that is the business. Move up when you've been hot. By no means did he leave the cupboard empty there. Olney ISD simply made a poor decision on who would replace him. They passed on Chris Ross, one of Jackson's former assistants in Olney, and gave it some guy that ran the program into the ground (he was a spread guy, you know the offense of the future) and did little to maximize on what Coach Jackson had left him. Chris Ross would have taken that team and continued to pound the Flex Bone at people and Olney would still be a top notch program instead of an alsoran. Coach Jackson is a great coach that builds athletes through his track program and wins football games with those athletes through the discipline he instills in them.
