I didn't see this posted but if it has have a mod delete it.


Odessa Permian offensive coordinator Brandon Faircloth has been named the head coach at Port Neches-Groves.

So why is this relevant to the Central Texas football landscape? Well, in addition to the tidbit that Faircloth was on the Westlake coaching staff a few years ago, his hiring means that the job will not be going to Jerry Vance of Liberty Hill.

According to a January 22 report in the Beaumont Enterprise, Vance was one of 35 names released by Port Neches-Groves after a Freedom of Information request was filed with the school. Vance, who has been Liberty Hill’s coach since 2001, has gone 41-3 with the Panthers over the past three seasons with back-to-back Class 3A championships in 2006 and 2007.

Port Neches-Groves is a Class 4A school.

From what I understand he is being replaced out at Permian by another Brownwood Lion Coach. (Which I hate to see go)

Big name coaches usually do when they aren't getting the job. ;)

I think it would be hard for his type of offense to be successful in 4A and up. Still a great coach but I think you need to throw the ball some to win in 4A and 5A.

:p Well, if a coach pursues a job elsewhere on his own, then withdraws his name, I can see the implication bearing some weight. When the coach is contacted by the school and asked to submit a resume, then withdraws, it could very well mean something else altogether. ;)

I never heard Vance's name mentioned for the job but he was never going to leave LH for a place like PN-G.

Beeville and Gregory-Portland have run it very well recently and G-P has in the past as well... Beeville just about beat Lake Travis in 2007... Anything works if you work it... or so I have been told.
