A couple of applicants that I've heard recently are the Taft Coach and the Coach from a place called Lamesa - 3A program in West Texas. I do know another one but I like him and don't know if he wants his name thrown out and I'm a very nice man lol so I will keep it to myself for now. I can confirm that Joe Richard (Castellano) is one of the applicants. I know him well and he is well aware of the turmoil in Alice, and he has Alice ties. I don’t see Coach Hood (Lamesa) as a good fit for aAlice for many reasons, and he doesn’t seem like one that will bow down to the board, but he’s different and will go against the grain. Now is that something the board would like, probably not. Especially with the usual characters getting re-elected over and over. A coach from Clear Lake is another applicant, I know of about 5-6 others that may not want their name on here but I’m curious as to what direction the board will take. I know of two board members that have personally reached out to certain coaches that they feel should apply. Word gets out around here, people at central office talk. Yoy can’t keep quiet about this stuff. I don’t like it because again, they’d be pulling the strings, it would be their guy you know. It’s micromanagement 24/7 with these people. I feel like they’ll come outta nowhere with the new guy. Back when Evans was hired, he wasn’t even a front runner. There was about 5-6 that they had narrowed it down to. They got a middle guy close to the board to reach out to him and meet up with him to talk about the situation and different scenarios if they hired him. And what do you know, a few days after this meeting he was hired. Nobody expected it. From what I’m being told and hearing in my circles, they are back to pushing for a guy from within, but there’s resistance. We are talking about the guys making decisions for this already troubled school district. I wouldn’t doubt that TEA steps in soon with some of the nonsense going on and with all that has been reported. So I reallly don’t know what to think about how they’ll go about this process. It’s a crazy situation. I didn't have a problem with them going after Evans even though he wasn't a finalist because the finalists that year didn't really pop out. I think they did the right thing for that time even though he ended up leaving. When Atwood got the job what I had heard was he too was not only not a finalist but he didn't even apply that time. They reached out to him and asked him to apply. I think he did apply that year Evans got it but not the year he got it. They had to ask him to apply because the applicant pool was so weak. Not sure how accurate that is but that's what I had heard.

I think you were better off with Coach Atwood than if you had Coach Evans. Coach Atwood did more with less and Coach Evans did less with more.

If you really are that curious about knowing who all the applicants are, isn't there the Freedon of Information Act you could cite.

A couple of applicants that I've heard recently are the Taft Coach and the Coach from a place called Lamesa - 3A program in West Texas. I do know another one but I like him and don't know if he wants his name thrown out and I'm a very nice man lol so I will keep it to myself for now. Looks like the coach at Lamesa is on his first HC gig there for the last 3 years. I listened to a couple of interviews with him and I agree.....I like that dude!

The problem has been the terrible leadership there in Alice by the upper brass but because he will go against the grain he won't be a good fit? So you are saying you want a coach that will bow down to the BS that has been happening there for years again and do as he's told? I'm truly not understanding your comment

Sotex I care about what you post because it says a lot about your mindset. Attitude seems to be a bad disease in the Alice area. The fixed mindset seems to rule and the growth mindset seems to be a minority.

I'm truly not understanding your comment I think it's irrelevant because a coach like that obviously wouldn't be hired by people looking for a puppet unless the board changes it's approach. There's some good coaches applying. People shouldn't be disappointed in the applicants they should be worried about the board not doing the right thing.

Evans handed over a senior heavy team to Atwood in 2017. I've repeatedly said that had Evans stayed in Alice 1 more season that 2017 team would have not lost until round 5 of the playoffs and Alice wouldn't have had 3 losing seasons in 6 years.
