Just noticed a asst at Calallen, Austin Smithey was selected as new HC at SA Warren. Don’t recognize the name, maybe some Cal peeps can give some incite as to what he coaches at Cal?

Not SA, this is Warren in East Texas. Correct. Class 3A, D2 school . Northeast of Beaumont near the Big Thicket.

Some of the things that go on with decision making with NSISD athletics hamstrings them to allow them to reach the top level of competition. That is why the only NSISD HS we've seen make it to a title game was Brennan a few years back in 5a. When you get that many High Schools in one school district the 'parity mentality' kicks in big time for those making the decisions within that district. You know, if all 11 teams cannot have that 'thing' then the 1 who wants to buy it with raised funds from the athletic boosters of that school can't have it either! Hope this coach finds success up in East TX.

Hope this coach finds success up in East TX. Yep. In the ideal world of taking on a head coaching job in this state, it is probably one of the better areas to do so as SE Texas (Golden Triangle, Houston Metro, etc.) is deep in football talent. Starting off at the 3A level makes it easier to jump up to a 5A if a job opens up and so on if you've earned your due turning a program around. NEISD kind of sounds like the CCISD and probably a few other urban/older suburban ISD's. Except in the CCISD's case, the football resources and "love" always seems directed to one High School which for two or three decades was Carroll until the new kid on the block was built which is now Vets. Sure the other schools had a year or two here and there where they looked like they were going to establish themselves to compete for the longer term, but it fizzled out like a flat can of Coke. We shall see if Miller can break that mold, especially since the new Carrol will be opening in the fall of 2022 and the establishment in the Corpus who are Carroll grads who many are still fit to be tied want some love given to them in the form of allowing them to what Vets did when they opened their doors. I will say Frisco ISD is showing how it can be done. But it might be the fact that everything is so new up there and many of the residents are transplants that they don't have a natural affinity to one particular high school unlike let say Katy ISD where the same dynamic is at play as far as growth. But they have a number of long time residents there who are Katy High Grads , hence (with some evidence) Katy High gets most of the love for their football program. LOL.... I have a high school friend who I think lives in the Cinco Ranch area and she was one of the leaders in the opposition for the stadium that was voted down in 2013 due to it looked like it was being built to benefit Katy High. My gosh the stuff that she would post on Facebook and responses from others in the Katy ISD made for some damn good reading!

Smithey will do a great job!!! And from what I hear, other schools have tried plucking some coaches from the Calallen staff. Interesting.

There are 3 very good coaches down in that area now that mentor their assistants so well, that if they listen to them, those assistants will turn into dang good head coaches. Other head coaches do some mentoring, but others it's more of a my way or the highway and they don't necessarily mentor their assistants. Danaher, Davis, and Whitaker mentor their people well. If you want to be a head coach, those men will help you get there. Another great mentor is Coach McQueen from Temple. He retired, but that man still mentors young coaches and will teach you everything you need to know to be a successful head coach and man in general. I know others around the state probably are good about doing that as well.

Warcat, I totally agree. I actually heard that there are a couple coaches on the Calallen staff that have been HCs before. I believe there are several on the Wildcat staff that would do a tremendous job if they were given the opportunity. Not that I would want anyone from there to leave. Good to have that type of experience on staff. I'm not a coach, but IMO of course.

They can't help but being very, very capable after working under Donaher IMO. I guarantee you the DC would make a heck of a HC.

Campbell will be one heck of a head coach when he decides to do so. He is also 100% loyal to Danaher, as are all of his coaches. I played for Danaher and against him, even went to church with the man. It's hard not to be loyal to a coach that has a proven system, but even more so a man that actually cares about and remembers his people and athletes, no matter what their role was.

And this is exactly why he is the most winning coach in TXHSFB history. It is a hell of a lot more than just knowing Xs & Os. Kids are smart and can read through BS in an instant. They respect this type of leadership no matter how tough coaches like this make it on them!!

One that would not let you stop until it was done right. Still hear "On the line, Run IT" over and over until it was right. But more than the yelling.... They Taught us. Took the time to explain what they needed us to do and why. That was the type of coach a kid will run through walls for.

I have no doubts when Coach D decides to call it a career and if Campbell is interested, the vacancy would be shortest allowed by law if it has to be posted.
