Any word on Bristow? Who they have in mind? Surely they didn't run off Jones without someone in mind... If you believe Facebook rumors it is Chris Cole or Brent Scott I know Chris has been there before, and his wife teaches and coaches over there. He was a linebacker from me and is a great culture guy, like Jones. I would think getting Bear in would be more of a nostalgia move than anything. Old timers Jazzed for Bear, young kids jazzed for a young energetic dude with a lot of rings from Bixby.

I read the post, I can take it 2 ways, the anonymous posters sounded like the current coaches, that sounded bitter. I mean they knew that the woman was the board members wife, but on the other hand it not usual for a boards member wife to post like that. Seems odd. I do know Matt Williams and Kyle Fowler both did 2 stints there, 2 highly respected coaches and hall of fame guys . I bet they would have the most unbiased insight on it since they’re not there anymore. But may be proceed with caution, I’m on the fence, I know who to call Great post. Yup. Those two guys are nothing but class.

Dude stays places 3-4 years then bounces, 4th time doing so Yup, but that is 3 or 4 times longer than some stay at a place. A few names on here are brought up every year and they apply to every open job every year.

Heard Ada open. OSteen going to Wynnewood Any confirmation on this? That seems crazy to me, but I guess if the money's right, familiarity is there, you feel you can win, etc. He's only got a few more years left before retirement. WW pays like 20k more a year. If he turns it around there, he is a God again. If he doesn't, he only has a few years to weather the storm.

Booker T. Washington coaching search...Any names being mentioned? I've heard Rico Watkins ( checks their boxes), Union OL coach potentially, and that the Owasso DC supposedly interviewed yesterday. It seems like BTW always wants a BTW guy and its 20x harder if you aren't a BTW guy plus the lack of guys being able to move into BTW (its hard to get in there bc of academics) plus TPS being at odds with The Education Czar Walters is a recipe for disaster

Cordell used to be a really competitive across the board in sports, but something has happened to that place The town is drying up. As someone who went to school there and has been a long-time community member, there is more to it than just the town drying up. Sure there are highs and lows in sports at small schools, but that wasn't what caused the majority of it. A specific administrator was allowed to force out good, consistent, and honest people starting about 5-6 years ago. These were people who stood for many of the right things and right ways to do things brought stability and success to the school and community. Coaches and teachers who would have stayed nearly their entire careers and quite possibly retired at Cordell but were forced out. And those decisions as well as the hires since have served as the catalyst for the town as well as their sports to be ran into the ground so badly that most people are leaving. For example, one of their last two head football coaches was basically never more than a glorified towel boy as a coach before literally being handed the head job there. As a consequence, participation numbers dropped drastically the very next season and in two years struggled to field a full team at times. The next guy had only been a coordinator for a couple of years and has never been at a school more than two seasons. They've won 8 games in the last 5 seasons and been 0-10 each of the last two years. At this point it's a career killer from what I can see unless someone is desperate for an opportunity, they go 8-man, or they find a way to miraculously bring a successful coach in. Just my 2 cents.
