Alice could always schedule a special board meeting at anytime to name the coach......I would think best case scenario is get the guy hired before spring break and then he starts Monday after spring break Which is something they are leaning towards, getting him started that Monday after spring break

Atwood was announced weeks ago and he barely left Alice Monday and started at Holliday Wednesday.

Atwood was announced weeks ago and he barely left Alice Monday and started at Holliday Wednesday. Well he submitted his letter weeks ago, and was officially announced as Holliday’s AD/HC at the end of January and AISD gave him the time he needed to travel back and forth to get situated. AISD officially released him Monday which was a professional development day for Holliday and he started Tuesday.

IMO, the sooner the better For Alice.
I believe GP coach was selected in January of 2021.

So this is crazy, but about 5 or 6 years ago, Prairie Lea (6 man school) named their head coach 2 weeks into August... so at least Alice isn't that bad!! Lol
At a private school in Katy, they hired 4 head coaches during June and July. 1 guy lasted 2 whole days before he jumped ship.... They finally picked a coach on their Jr High staff to coach them that year and then after the season reassigned him and hired a better candidate.
Some of these schools I just don't understand why they wait so long to hire. It hurts their program in the long run...

Not one of those that believes the Coyotes can’t attract some excellent applicants.The football tradition the Alice Coyotes have built through the the decades is known throughout the state.The kids in Alice,in every sport, but particularly in football,have always been known to be tough,resilient and capable of adapting to any system.After Coach Brent Davis left in’08,the kids went from running a spread offense to the slot-t under Coach Chris Soza in ‘09, in their very 1st game that year against Mission Vets,The Coyotes had not 1,but 2 ,200 yd. rushers. Haven’t lived in Alice for a very long time,so I can’t speak to the politics there,but, I doubt the grit & caliber of the kids has changed greatly,and not just in sports,but,in band and in all other UIL activities.

The board is killing us so the waiting game continues & it’s hurting our boys, I just hope the board doesn’t screw this up. Other school district (the board) looks thru applicants thoroughly and hires a coach within weeks …. I just hope we can get a coach that our boys can adapt to.

Gosh dang, Yall need to step off the ledge. I understand the urgency but there are plenty of schools who haven't hired a coach yet and have been without a coach longer than Alice has. These things take time. Halletsville took almost two months to find their new coach. Victoria East, a little more than a month. Interviews have to be scheduled, references need to be called, due diligence must be done. If they hire someone tomorrow, then y'all will be complaining that they didn't take their time. Basketball playoffs, track, baseball, softball, power lifting, are all going on right now. Its not like the new coach is going to start installing his offensive scheme on day 1. Because the team finishes 5-5 with no playoff appearance, you will be right here going on about, "the board should have taken their time and hired the right guy." It's not a good look. Let me write you a prescription for some chill pills. Take one in the morning and one, right before you start to type.

My only complaints are the board leaking info to buddies but not everyone else. Mostly everyone complaining is complaining that they want names lol not that the decision should have been made 2 seconds after it was announced.

Most football players should be running track right now aside from a handful that play baseball and soccer.
Football isn’t the main focus for at least another month… longer if you have a successful track program because those main track dudes usually play major roles on the football team.
Sit back and enjoy track season… it’s hella competitive!
