Wow, gpjarvis you have not been listening. The Mob or Clique at GP has been running athletics for years. Dr.Paul Clore hired a company of 2 of the top coaches in the state to hire a coach. Coach Matt Anastacio was the top candidate for the job. The Coach Seibert supporters, Wing-tees and fathers living their dream thru their son did not accept him,School teachers that went to school with Coach Seibert were ticked off. They published the list of applicants . There was someone looking down on Coach Seibert and blessed him and he did not get the job. Coach Anastacio made a career mistake when he would have been better off taking the Buda Hays job. Buda Hays wanted him and GP did not. Dr Paul Clore silenced the GP crowded by rigging a hiring of Coach Rick Rhoades, a 3 time state title coach. They did not publish the applicants. DR.Paul Clore has left the building. GP not only has to rebuild athletics they have to rebuild education at GP as it also sucks. Dr. Clore can't be used as an excuse anymore. The new Supt has to step up and make the right decision here. Jay Siebert is a good man and a great coach, I know him, played with him and I consider him a friend. I do agree, he was probably fortunate to NOT get the job here at that time. He's got a pretty sweet deal over in RF. The education aspect is of concern as well. When I went to school here, we almost NEVER missed the playoffs, and the motto was "Where Academic Excellence is Number 1". I wonder what happened to that slogan. The new AD/HC needs to push the boys academically as well as physically.

It gets interesting when you get posters to post or talk. It is OK to have a love affair with Coach George Harris but not Coach Matt Anastacio. I don't have a problem with Coach Harris. He gave me 2 GP Ball caps and I congratulated him at his ceremony at the Coastal Bend Coaches Association Hall of Honor. GPJohn be my witness as he was the one who introduced him. I had a problem with his coaching staff and many are still at GP today. I had the honor of introducing my wife to another Coach I Love as you might say. His name was Coach John William Kline. I have repeated Coach George Harris is a nice man. I put a like up there with on OCCNH post but it just says one more. Probably I should add to OCCNH post to tell them to get off my back. I had to change toys as my ipad battery was low. Lets look at gpjarvis opening statement and is he saying Coach Anastacio did not win? One year a missed extra point kept him out of going to the next round instead of booting Flour Bluff from the playoffs. Are we supposed to know as much about football as Coach Harris? Anybody want to jump in here and agree with him that Coach Anastacio or Coach Rhoades had as much talent as Coach Harris. Both coach's would like to have Kyle Fishbeck. Another kid I loved to watch was Jimmy Salinas who was one of the forgotten kids that had great talent. Let me add a story that happened while Coach Harris was AD. My grand daughter was about 6 ft tall and played basketball in junior high and went out for Volleyball in HS. She was on the freshman team and she and another 2 players were dropped from the team. One of the other girls was 5 ft 10 in or a little less tall than my grand daughter. She is now married to the San Pat county judge's son and appears on Facebook . Anyway they cut back to 12 players. I was at games of George West who carried 17 players and counted the players on a Freer team I was watching and they had 15 on their freshman squad. I told the George West coach about it at the time who was also my daughter in law by marriage. She asked what has GP got against tall players? The answer was and was well known in the junior high. The coaches like girls who or quick and can get that ball. Slow developing tall girls were not quick enough at the junior high and freshman level. At lest one of those coaches is still at GP. My grand daughter then went out for track and being big strong she throw ed the Shot and discuss. Coach David McKinney who came with Coach Harris from Refugio was her coach. He did not like her results and told her he did not know why she came out for track. She dropped out of track. Coach David McKinney was also the DC in football. I have told the story before about a contractor from Sinton was near the Football dressing room when he overheard the Coach telling the players that they were not going to embarrass him like they had last Friday night. It was after Sinton beat GP and GP had about 28 yds total offense in a shutout. It was either Coach Harris or Coach David McKinney. Bring it on. What did Anastacio do to fix it? Seems like he did little or nothing to get rid of the deadwood as you see it... OK guys a few things to consider when you compare coaches. One Harris was the last coach to bring a complete coaching staff everyone else had to stay with the crap coaching staff he left behind and have been deadweight. Two parents that graduated with him and had kids on the team felt he should've played their subpar kid and rallied others against him and broke the respect the players had for him. Just as they did with Rhoades since they didn't get the wing T or whatever bs offense they grew up with. So to sum it up if parents kids tell little Johnny the coaching suck is the reason he isn't playing then the coaching will continue to suffer. Suck a$$ attitudes equal suck a$$ results. Rhoades has been to 7 state championships and still maintained somewhat of a winning record for himself without support from his coaching staff,parents,and players due to parents selfishness. Bush would make a bad coaching decision coming back to GP to try and rebuild with this coaching staff. Currently he plays in a subpar district, wins district championships but can't win playoffs but let him come over and get stabbed in the back by his classmates when he doesn't play little Johnny.

Folks keep talking about the booster club having influence on coach hiring. As past president of GP booster club when Coach Harris retired and Anastasio hired, I can tell you my opinion or the booster clubs input was not solicited. I supported Anastasio at first. But after about 3 months of being lied to, having my son lied to, seeing seniors dumped he lost me. Very good example right here GP Sports but continue to fail. Coaches cannot win with parents trying to dictate Little Johnny's playing time.

While we're on the subject of winning and losing streaks and reasons coaches should be fired. Why is the basketball coach still around i believe gp has had some good basketball boys and haven't made the playoffs in many years. Most likely far to many losing seasons than gp football.

And the beat goes on. We will need to start a new thread GP 2021 soon. With the new Super letting Coach Rhoades finish his contract til end of year sounds like a good idea. It may be because she does not want foreigners coming during the China Virus to interview. It may be to let her observe the athletic situation and make a decision. Spring ball is off the table and I hope the UIL makes it permanent like 4A on down.

Coach Rick Rhoades came in with his pedigree and things were going to get better. The anti Coach Matt Anaststacio mob had succeeded. There is a old saying Talk the Talk , Walk the Walk. We have not seen that. How would you like to be the coach hired to follow Coach Rick Rhoades act.

I really don't want to fool with posters that go thru life trying to have trouble with other people in life but it is amazing the posters that are dissatisfied with the performance at GP and yet they brag on the retreads at GP that are coaching the players they are dissatisfied with. I love this statement "Those guys know what it was like when GP was winning, why discard them?". Winning against who? PLC and Calallen and Flour Bluff? More beating on a dead dog but I gathered up one time the complete stats on the 10 years of Coach George Harris and posted it and asked everyone to pick a good team GP beat in that 10 years.So much for Coach Jerry Long the OC. One poster from Tivey felt like they had a good team when they lost to GP. GP was ranked number one in the state when they lost to Pflugerville Connally. Connaly had about as many players that went to a junior college that GP had go D1. Rice an Missouri. GP got knocked out a couple of years by Killeen when Killeen was the low seed in their district. Coach Harris won 70% of his games. Coach Carlo Mircovich won 70% of his games and they fired him after one year. Coach Bruce Bush might have done better if he had played the whole team instead of running up stats for his son so he could get a scolly. Coach Bruce Bush got out coached by a guy name of Coach Bob Shelton. They named a stadium after him over at Buda Hays. When Travis Bush was injured catching a punt(dislocated elbow). what happened? They brought in a back up QB who had not played. Game over. Let me give you Chuck and Duck Coach Bob Loomis record. !995 (8-3) 1996 10-3) 1997 (7-3) and he beat Flour Bluff all three years and lost to Calallen all three years. Yes they know what it was like winning at GP. About 70% of the time against weak teams. FB was just learning how to win in 2000. Maybe GP just forgot how to win? This is a very relevant post from several years back by poster who has changed his handle. GP has lost their swagger.
