My bad. I made a mistake. I forgot about his freshman football class during the middle of the day, which was located up by the football stadium far away from his non-existent classroom. So he was expected to teach two different classes for four hours while floating throughout the building, have one freshman football class in the middle of the day that he either had to start late or end early because he had to teach other classes, and he got a seventh-hour football PE that he fought to keep in first hour but was overruled because, well, the powers that be wanted to go back to doing things the old way. I sincerely apologize. I forgot about his freshman football class. That still doesn't change ANYTHING about my overarching point that he shouldn't have had the course load that he had as a 5A head football coach and the fact that he did shows that a priority was not placed on football there and they set him up to fail. Now that I have addressed the one error I made in my post, would you care to address any of the other points that I made that you so conveniently ignored? Mr. Mac Hoss, Many of the other points you made appear to come from a sense of personal vendetta you have against the administration at Pineville. Therefore, I see no point in delving into that aspect. You are obviously personally upset about the decision made, which is understandable. It's obvious that you and Coach Moore are friends and/or work acquaintances. Just realize that the administration at PHS runs the highest achieving school in Rapides Parish, so I'm sure there were numerous valid reasons that they chose to go in a different direction. Once again, Coach Moore is obviously a talented coach with a bright future. From what I've been told, Coach Dunn actively pursued him and sought him to be his OL coach three years ago and bring him to Pineville. Any coach that Dennis Dunn sees potential in is obviously a quality football mind. However, it had become obvious to the administration and the decision makers that he was NOT the right fit as head coach. And while his class schedule may not have been ideal, it had nothing to do with him not showing up for work on time and not showing up for football staff meetings on time. Those are unrelated issues to his class schedule. Coach Moore has the potential to be a great head coach one day, but right now, that day has not come at the 5A level. Reading both sides of this argument tells me everything that I need to know about the ineptness of the athletic program at Pineville High School. You either invest in your program or just do away with it . Most 2A head coaches do not teach academic classes all day . I feel for those kids and good luck finding a coach worth anything to coach under those current circumstances.

Now that I have addressed the one error I made in my post, would you care to address any of the other points that I made that you so conveniently ignored? I'll just leave this one point here before I move on. This person, norla, now has 4 posts on this board. We don't know who he is. My name is Bret McCormick. I used to teach and coach at Pineville High. I now teach at Bolton High. I am not hiding anonymously. I have been around in some iteration of Louisiana high school message boards since Ken Ramsey when I was in high school in the 1990s. My username is clearly bhossmac, and yet this fool wants to try to deflect from the obvious points that Pineville's administration doesn't value football by calling me "Mr. Mac Hoss" not because he can't read but because he knows he's on the losing side of this argument.

norla Speaking of vendettas, you created an account yesterday just to get on this forum and bash a high school coach. Why? Unless you have something against him! Being a coach for close to 20 years, nothing pisses me off more than a spineless POS that will come on a forum a blow up a high school coach. First and foremost, the reason coaches fail starts with the administration. First the AD, then Principal. These guys get paid pennies for the hours they work compared to teachers; and this is nothing against teachers. I think they are all underpaid. But coaches spend more time with your kids than they do their own. Coaches don't coach because of the money; they do it for the love of the game and the kids. Here is what sucks about being a high school coach and I have seen this happen multiple times. 99% of the time, the old staff is already in place and has their cliques (maybe one even applied for the job) but they can't put the kids and team in front of "I" so down goes the ship again. That old staff is the reason for the demise, not the new coach. But for you to get on here, specifically to bash a coach, it sounds like you are part of that "old staff." You may even be the AD trying to defend your decision so people don't like poorly at Pineville. I don't know Coach Moore, but I know he hustled his butt off to find two games at the end of the season. Who did he do that for? You, the parents? Nope; he did it for the kids. It is people like you, NORLA, that ruin the coaching profession at the high school level. Why don't you apply for the job? Ah, not qualified but your are qualified to step on the neck of a coach after being terminated? You are sad and need to get a life.

I’ll give you even more inside sources, Carpenter realizing the bad PR sent out a mass email trying to defend his positions to principals in Rapides Parish. Sounds desperate to me. Also a lot of the politics there right now surrounding the Rebel nickname and the booster club.

Guys, as interesting of a read this has been, can you move the conversation to or make a thread on it? This is a thread announcing hirings/openings, not what’s wrong with X coach at Y school.

I agree and for anyone who wants to create an account just because they have an ax to grind and tell someone else they ‘have a vendetta against Pineville’ should only be allowed to post under “no nut sack norla”

Hard to blame him. Southside opening has killed Comeaux’s numbers. They are playing 5A football with a 30 man roster and with reclassification delayed, its gonna be another year of misery next season.
The way it is zoned now, Comeaux may end up 3A in the not too distant future. Half of their zone covers some of the more wealthy areas of Lafayette...areas where kids aren’t going to public school.

YIKES! may go 0-10...

Best bet is for someone to take the job quickly and try to schedule some games against some smaller classification teams because they won’t beat any teams in 3-5A, and that’s an 8 team district which means 0-7 right off the bat.

He taking something else? I'm not sure. He had lain the groundwork for a successful program, but I think not being able to practice or do 7-on-7 during the summer set this year's team back quite a bit. For a team that relied on the pass as much as we did, those extra reps during the summer for the QB and receivers make a huge difference. I don't think his offensive philosophy was fully accepted by everyone, which led to friction with some of the old-school fans who had been used to St. John being a run-oriented team for the last 30 years. It's unfortunate, but that kind of change is hard especially only winning 2-3 games per year. Of course that was still better than the 2 previous coaching staffs who went winless for 2 seasons. So at least the kids playing the last 3 years actually got to experience some victories on the field. It'll be interesting to see what happens next.

He is definitely a spread passing guy, but considering what you had said about the coaches before him... You figure he could have been given a better chance..., But if they wanted a running team.... THEY should have never hired Holden... I believe he was 70 30 pass run ratio at Berwick... I hope they find someone who fits what they want... I have become a fan of them just reading your post/history lessons weekly on their games...

Official word is expected today DC Wayne Stein will be taking over as head coach Smart move by SCC, Stein was someone who alot of people were pushing for both the Hahnville job when it came open before Salt went there and who many pushed when Destrehan came open last year, good job of SCC not letting him get away. It will be hard to watch SCC on tv or in person not seeing Monica roaming the sidelines, he did a whole heck of alot for high school coaches in Louisiana going way back, including starting the LHSCA.
