Gonzales Job?

[Bull Butter]

Is there any one on here with any knowledge about this job? I have heard a couple of friends of mine have applied and I am wondering if they have a chance. One of them is the DC at Port Isabel. He is a Cuero boy and has HC experience in Smithville. I know, Smithville is laughed at on here, but he was the last coach to take them to the playoffs. In fact, he had back-to-back winning seasons there in a very tough district. He has been gone from there for 5 years and they have won exactly 5 games since he left.

I played ball in hs with the guy you are talking about, great guy. I guess he is doing great if he wants to get back into the AD stuff.

I remember Rockdale beating them in the playoffs in a driving rain storm in Brehnam. He was a good coach and had Sville very tough. Rockdale was lucky to win that one. Cody Burrough had a great game that night and carried Rockdale on his legs running the ball that night.

I wish this guy the best. Class guy.

What happened to their coach? Strange they would fire a coach that got them to the playoffs.

I think his mother has been in poor health for the past couple of years. I talked to him over the holidays and he told me how much he and his family like living in PI. Stump and the crew have done a great job down there. I was not given the impression that he wanted to leave. He is just concerned about the health of his mother.

We'll family should come first and so that's totally understandable, as to why he would consider the move. I would probably do the same, if I was in his shoes. And Gonzalez is pretty close to Cuero isn't it?
