Reassigning a coach 6 months after his first year on the job. Had a decent year considering it was the rebuild of a lifetime.

Doesn't really matter. It was the guy's first year. The Junior High team was decently successful from the looks of things. Its to be expected that following the group Coach Farmer had they would be down a little. Almost had a winning season, almost won a playoff game.... Something seems really fishy here. Surely someone knows whats going on that can spill the beans. Although... it is good that fans, parents, or players aren't on here bashing the program. From the people I know that know the guy they say he is a good guy, parent, and coach. I am just really unsure of this situation....

I am best friends with the head coach. He will no longer be the head coach of the England Lions. It's a tough situation because Coach Garret and his family have invested so much time into these young men and the community. They basically wanted him to be a puppet on a string and he refused. It was his program and he wanted to run it his way. Basically 3 pathetic soles in the England community are the reason England is looking for a new head coach who had a very solid season considering what they lost the year previously. England made a mistake and it will hurt them for the years going forward. More than anything Coach Garret is mad for his players more than himself. England just lost a good one.

When the opportunity arises he will come home. As of now i don't think they have an opening. At least in Warren he will get treated the correct way.

I heard it was two board members that are kin somehow and the also got into a cussing fight while a england player was being treated for a neck injury on the field as they were standing over this young man waiting to be taken off the field. I think coach Garrett deserves more time.  It with snakes on the board thinking the are somebody this is what you get. Apparently it's not about the kids it about the own fat ego.

3 fat egos... basically their complaint and whining is because they thought the team was un organized and underperformed. From everything i saw and with the talent they lost off last years team they finished where they should have. Egos kids must have not got enough playing time it sounds like.

If England felt like they "settled" for that coach because nobody else wanted the job, who do they think is going to want to apply for it now?  Looking over your shoulder for a board member isn't the most attractive thing in the world.  Is Farmer coming back?

Such a double standard in hiring and firing. If you fire or get rid of a person you hired a year ago, maybe the people that hired him should go. They obviously didn't do a good job of filtering and finding the best person for the job...obviously if the person does something that you couldn't foresee happening(Petrino motorcycle) this wouldn't be the case.

The school board is voted on by the community but I'm not sure how long their term is.

It is but most of the time people run uncontested.  Should be rules about being on the school board if you have kids in the district.  Most of the time it is just to promote their own agenda.  Also, there should be some sort of qualification to be on the board.  I've known several that could barely run their own household let alone the school district.  Sadly, more often then not, it is a bunch of "pulp wood haulers".

I'm sure that for the most part people who run for school board are really honest nice people who care about their community. It is very unfortunate that sometimes you get some turds in the punch bowl. The problem with what you're suggesting, which I completely agree with, is in practice it's not possible. Most of the time the people that run uncontested because they are the only people that want to put in the time to do so.
Title: Re: England Football
Post by: mrknowitall on January 11, 2018, 08:47:25 am
The school board approved the hire, but they don't make the recommendation. Someone did the interviewing, and hired the coach twice. Once as an asst and then as the head coach. So if he was let go, then those people made a bad hire twice. So, maybe they are the problem.

Post by: Firebird on January 13, 2018, 11:24:07 pm

Kudos to the school board members that are kin. Rather than save "face", maybe giving the newest coach with the shortest history a chance would have been an option rather than school board members possying up and running off (yet another) an energetic young coach with a lot of potential for growth-a great combination of new & old faces working together to rebuild what was gone.

As previously stated,  Garrett wasn't your first choice, but hey, he did attempt to work with what he had. Can England's school board say that?

After losing around eighteen young men to graduation last year, our boys gave all they had, often limping to the emergency room with different injuries, which in turn knocked them out of playing as hard as they could in any position and causing yet more injuries. How big a man do you have to be to argue over an injured player when you claim to be there for their medical needs?

Did that please England's school board? Obviously not.

Fortunately, we had people able to save "face" and reassign yet another coach so school board members could continue playing chess with still more lives. Way to go, "faces".

One last thought... School board elections are open. Anyone can run, not just the people intent on repeatedly running England's reputation into the ground.

Incognito got it right. Twelve years of coaching changes? Not looking good on ya, England powers that be.

Farmer knew talent level was going to drop, can't blame him for that.

Brandon Barbaree has had a ridiculous number of jobs.

The other two, I have no idea.

Coach Garrett will land on his feet, England will bring in a good coach.  Situation stinks, but its part of the business.

Previous poster called out board members - the Cheeks obviously - but it would have taken more than two votes to make a move and usually an administrator recommends such action.  Unfortunate, but its happened many places in addition to England.

The funny thing about that statement is Farmer told me numerous times that the talent was still there it was the work ethic and attitude of the kids that would hold them back. The real reason Farmer left wasn't a drop off in talent it was not being able to get along with the administration.  Now for those of you that don't know Farmer sometimes he is not the easiest man to get along with. So I'm sure it was a little on both sides.

If they are expecting what they had for the previous 2 seasons they will forever underachieve! Not saying they can't be good, and be good for long periods of time, but that group of seniors was special. Those groups don't come around all the time! Do they not remember where or what they were before that group came through!?

Looks like DB is making around 58,000 at Bryant. Last HC at England was making around 47,000 with additional $5000. If I'm reading the contracts correct. But sometimes it's not always about money why someone takes a job.
Title: Re: England Football
Post by: arkansasFBscoop on February 25, 2018, 02:11:54 pm
I can't speak for Burnett - wouldn't know him if I saw him.  However, with England attaching the AD job to this they can probably get the $ close.  Bryant only has Burnett on a 205 day contract - which is crazy.  I think the biggest question is would a coach who is very respected (Burnett) and in-line for a big school job soon benefit from moving down to the 2A level?  I don't think $ will be the deciding factor in this.  England, as I'm sure they have, would be well served making him say no.

All that said, I think if Coach Burnett was the guy this would have been wrapped up already.  That is pure speculation, though.

Dont know what they've ran since 3rd grade but they need to be full time spread. Too many good athletes in a conference full of slow white boys to run a wing t or something like that.

Hard to take a $10 - $11 thousand dollar pay cut, when you make a mid 50ish salary as a teacher coach.  Adding AD at most small schools is only good for $1- $3 thousand more so not a lot.  Winning in so many small schools is an iffy situation and often runs in cycles.  So school boards that want instant and prolonged success don't have much hope of keeping good folks.

I agree with your main point, but don't exaggerate.

They were co-conference champions with Ouachita the year before he was reassigned in a conference that had the previous years state champion and state runner up. He was also the coach of the year in that conference that same year.

England landed a great coach and even a better man/leader. Coach Roberson is a very close friend of mine and it will be very strange to see him in color other than navy/white.

Roberson is a leader of both the athlete and the student as well as the person. Will promote accountability, discipline, and team leadership as well as personal growth. Strong emphasis on weight training and self care goes a long way in his program. Second to none when it comes to gameplan and strategy.

If he is able to build further upon the already strong program tradition at England, better watch out!

I wish my friend and brother the best. I hope for his sake and most definitely for the sake of the student athletes that the community and others will rally around the program and support their new leader. I do not personally know the situation in England (sounds rough according to these expert posters) but I would like to wish it isn't as bad as it sounds!

Coach Rob is doing a great job. He has about 35-40 kids out. They are working hard and learning his system. He is a high character high energy man and i am certain he is going to be successful. He has brought a sense of togetherness to our whole school it seems. Kids are responding well to him. Spring football will kick off monday. Im excited to get an early taste of what he has to offer.

From what I've heard England has done well in the 7 on 7 tournaments they have been in.  I think the last one they played they tied either Morrilton or Greenbrier.  Sounds like they are on the right track.  It ought to be a good season.

They did well in 7 on 7. Held their own against the likes of Allen, TX. With that being said, 7 on 7 and football are 2 different creatures so we will see what we got come August 21.

Dang, pulling up a post from April!  I know you are missing us, but we will be seeing you soon.  I know you have been working hard feeding and breeding cows, but put your stool away and catch up on FF.

Maybe this guy will work out for you. I Remember him yelling all the time at CC.  We got a good one who's turning the program around, getting the kids to believe in the process. I do miss hearing how great England sports teams are.!  ;D Catch ya on the sidelines.

Not England.  Quitman girls are running wild in 2A.  Basketball,  Softball and Track.  If they could get a Vollyball Coach worth a Sh$&,  they could win in that too.  I can't believe you missed the part about breeding cows and the stool.  I guess you can't see the forrest for all the trees.  See you soon.
