damn man. School got flooded to shite, relocated to Live Oak and the football team under performed this year and cans its long time coach.
fricked up.


quote:

The Yellow Jackets’ longtime football coach School was fired Monday, three days after a disappointing, but flood-ravaged season ended with the program left out of the playoffs for the first time since 2007. In a statement released by DSHS principal Kelly Jones, he lauded Nettles -- a 1989 graduate of the school -- for his tenure, with an emphasis on Nettles’ leadership this fall when the entire school and city was rocked by the historic floods Aug. 12-14.

“People were disappointed in the results in games, and I understand that,” he said. “To me, coaching is all about kids and their growth, and I thought we achieved a lot that way. But in this profession, sometimes you’re viewed by wins and losses more than anything else. I felt like we were moving in the right direction, but you accept what happens and you move on.” Nettles said he will remain as a teacher at DSHS for the rest of the first semester but will actively look for the next step of his career - which for Nettles includes coaching.

What's the more to it?

I followed Denham football a great deal in the 80's and 90's. It's a shame they never made it to the state title game in the 80's with some of the talent they had.

Great guy, but coaches just like Les Miles. His time has passed at Denham.
