Randy Allen, long-time coach at Dallas Highland Park, is stepping down.  He has been a head coach for 37 years(18 at Highland Park) and is the fourth winningest coach in Texas history with 376 victories.   Highland Park won the past two Class 5A Division I state titles, both with John Stephen Jones, the grandson of Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as quarterback. 

Allen has been the third highest paid hs coach in Texas, with an annual salary of $134,000.  Rumor is that he is coming to Florida for a more lucrative deal.:rolleyes:  Not sure who, but have heard there is a certain north Florida hs that will pay anything to win a title since their banner from 50 years ago is falling apart.:P

We probably don't even make that much a year with our half empty stands

      Recruiting a coach

      By Proseteye · Posted

      Dillard - I'm not sure that hiring a HS football coach is the same as bringing a student on board the team. I think that any school can hire any football coach that they want any time they want. They can even hire a football coach that is currently coaching at another school. Where did you find that it's illegal?

      NIL coming to Florida? FHSAA requests public feedback

      By Proseteye · Posted

      IMO the FHSAA should simply return to the previous rules that if a student transfers from one school district to another they would be allowed to in accordance with Florida law. However, that student could only transfer for academic reasons and would have to remain out of sports for the first full season of that particular sport. As I understand it, when the Florida Legislature passed the law that allowed students to transfer anywhere and at anytime they had academics in mind. It was a law that allowed students to transfer from a poor performing school academically to a good performing school academically and not for the explicit purpose of playing a game. I wonder if the Florida Legislature fully understands what happens when students are allowed to transfer explicitly for sports and how some of those transfers seriously disturb the natural flow of events with the sports team of those schools. To make matters worse they are now proposing that some high school students, that just happen to be good at playing a game, be paid for their participation. Truly amazing.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.
