Clovis South

Bullard was always looking for a seat at the TRAC table, but this would seal its fate.   

Bullard is like Poland after WWII. They battled hard for their freedom, but in the end, their friends turned away and they succumbed to their captors. 

(Sorry, I watched too many Memorial Day WWII documentaries yesterday.)

I don't know if there's a way to work it into your analogy, but Bullard people tried hard to get out of FUSD over the last 10-15 years (go charter/create their own district or split FUSD down the middle) and they weren't able to, which now has them on the precipice. Which I'm sure you were aware of.

Anyone else read in that piece where CUSD considered "Knights" as the new school's nickname? I would have been incensed had that been the choice - how do you even broach the idea of naming a school the same as another long-established school just a few miles across the area?

That's probably why they didn't do it but it's crazy that it wasn't even considered.

People in Clovis so badly want Clovis to be in Texas that this was as close as they could get.

sounds like the people in Rosedale here, they so badly want to be the Duttons.

well Bullard looks just like the rest of the Fresno schools now. Arax was at least doing his best to keep them a float. I bet Franklin will be gone after his son graduates. Hope I am wrong

I never thought I'd live to see the day...

CUSD should pay attention to the rise and fall of FUSD.  That cancer is spreading.

So long as liberalism doesn't infiltrate the heads of the district and common sense prevails, which doesn't seem likely.

Can we start discussions on who will be the first head coach at Clovis South? I would imagine they fly the job sometime during the fall.

Odds are:
-someone how has been a HC before with a good track record either in CUSD/against CUSD/or bigger schools
-someone who is a teacher or credentialed. Off campus coach is possibility, but for rare occasions.

Wildcard:
-out of section hire

should we name names??

Rich Hammond comes to mind, not sure if that bridge is burnt though.

It is not burned on the CUSD end.  I've actually been told this was the plan all along.

So they don't want Clovis South to ever win a VC? Got it!

The same was said by many when Jacot took over at CN after a failed stint at another Clovis school.  And look what happened......how many VC's does CE have since Murphy left?  Do you feel the same about their previous/current HC's?  Or is this just specific to Rich?  Just curious.

I worked with Coach Hammond one year during the City County game and came away with a lot of admiration. I saw a few others who weren't quite as impressive.  A good coach familiar with CUSD is critical at a new school, especially during the initial development years. The district would be foolish to go outside.

It is insidious and entraps the uninformed. You must know it when you see it and be prepared to nip it in the bud.

Don't kill the messenger; take it up with God. He hates liberals. Proverbs 14:12 - There is a way that seems right to man, but the end thereof is death.

[hardhitter23]

Names that come to mind for me

Rich Hammond (ex HC and Clovis ties)
Nast from Garza (Clovis ties and help start up Garza so knows what it takes)
Kyle Biggs (Clovis ties)
Casey Quinn heard he's been roaming around the CUSD campuses
Randell (CUSD ties)
Petressian (Clovis ties, Also one of the coaches to help start up Garza)
Branstetter (before going to North with Jacot he was looking to be a head coach)
Budd (Clovis ties and came in looking for a HC job)

All these coaches are credentialed

The fact that there are CSUD schools that have been in D2 playoffs and more high schools are being built should tell you that the liberal mind set is already inside, it may still be in the incubation state but its there. One day CUSD will change this: "Our efforts are focused on the creation of a quality judgement-free educational system that meets the academic, physical and the social needs of our nonbinary and cis students and inspires them on to being in touch with their feelings greater success."


Quinn? That guy doesn't stay anywhere more than a season or two

Agree, I dont think it will be a good hire because of that but I am naming coaches that had ties with Clovis and I believe would want to be a Head coach

I personally like what Jacot is doing out there. Its not flashy but affective lol

I like what he's doing at CN, but he was hated at his previous CUSD gig......

I like Hammond starting a program from the ground up.  If I had to throw a wildcard out there, I would say Pancotti from McLane.  Clovis ties, young, has done good things at a tough school to do good things at....
