Since the facts have know come out on why Beckham was fired. I am surprised they didn't mention anything about recruiting kiebler back to okeechobee as I have reliable sources from the varisty program that has said he made numerous contacts with kiebler about coming back. Thats the one thing that didn't come up which he did in the past.

I do agree with you also about Offensive coordinators getting credit for kids getting scholarships,as that gors to the head coach not the assistants.

Hopefully three weeks from know a new coach will be named and this whole emss will be in the past and not brought up anymore.

 
Yes, we obviously know you.  With all this knowledge and your contacts at the collegiate level, why are you having a hard time getting a job ANYWHERE?  The sad thing is you are now throwing your friend under the bus about the illegal things he did (like recruiting) and you even admit he was taking credit for getting kids all these scholarships when he didn't deserve it.  As for this mess be over in the near future, it will be as soon as you leave town and quit talking about things you have no idea about.  It is pathetic that a grown man has to keep stirring things up about a liar and cheat to try and get a job.

It's amazing what a coaching position will do to friends. By the way being the film guy in college is not the same as coaching.

In order to run to the next big thing you have to offered the next big thing. Since your the one that bashed Smith and Erwin. Those guys have jobs and if Smith chooses to coach again it will be a cake walk for him to find a job. Bottom line is I just didn't want you to think it was safe to come here and bash former coaches who paid there dues to the program and have had success. People can say what they want, Beckham was unproven, and took credit for things he didn't achieve.So if you wanna amen him you can, just dont bash guys who have been where your trying to get too. One more thing for you Beckham lovers, whens did offensive coordinators start getting credit for college recruits and wins and losses. I guess that only happens in Ohio, cause it sure doesn't happen in Florida.

Are you dumb or just plain ignorant? Beckham stated in his own words VIA the TCpalm article that it was "COMMON practice for the past five years" all that Chobeefan stated was "now when I was a freshman I never practiced with the varsity and when I was a senior I never practiced against 8th Graders and I graduated in 2006" nothing there looks like hes saying branham didnt do it or those kids that stood up are lying. what it looks like to me is you cant read or maybe understand fine print.  If you notice he graduated in '06 which means he didnt play with any of those kids who stood up at the meeting genius. Also to get facts strait when I played from 01-04 i never participated in a varsity practice as an 8th grader, or went against any 8th graders which would mean when i graduated "5" years ago i went against 8th graders right? well according to Beckham I did. Wrong answer the 8th graders had their own spring game. Now later that year in aug. way after spring two Players were moved up to varsity who were at the time 9th graders. So is this factual enough for you?

I seem to remember EVERY player at the parent meeting standing up when asked if they played vs varsity players when they were in 8th grade.Are you going to call the players liars as well ChobeeFan? And their parents? I would get your information straight before you post. Also Branham admitted to cheating as well. Although he seems to forget he did it last spring as well as those players stood up as well. This is a whole lot of the Pot calling the Kettle black. And that's the TRUTH.

It maybe rehearsed but it's true, and if you ever met me you would know that. I am not down here looking to leave when the next big college jobs comes up. I truly enjoyed coaching the kids, and they showed me how they chose to fight through a very tough situation. Where everyone could have just quit, because their coach got fired, was very impressive. It may not get me a job, but it does show you what I am all about ant that’s the kids.  Nothing more and nothing less.

That line about it being about the kids sounds so rehearsed. That line does not guarantee you a job here in Okeechobee Brahmanman.

Hey here is a story on the firing...

http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2009/jun/02/no-headline---spt_chobeecoaches/


This guy is a liar... I know when I was a freshman I never practiced with the varsity and when I was a senior I never practiced against 8th Graders and I graduated in 2006.

That seems to be your problem brahmanman,  you believe too much of what you here and not enough of the truth.  Quit taking up for a liar and cheat.  Maybe you are the same or you're just trying save a job that you no longer have or will have.

and come to think of it Brahmanman you were in the locker room with him everyday, why didn't you man up and ask Erwin yourself whether he was fired or resigned.

Even in regards to Erwin. Truth be told he resigned on his own free will. Just way to many inaccurate stories in regards to the coaching situtation.

I apologized, I was given incorrect information from someone other then Beckham, that coach smoith was let go once Beckham was hired.

Erwin did interview but was not retained for the new staff.

Once again I apologize. I was told soemthing by someone I trusted and they gave me mis information.

Brahmanman that's the problem with this entire situtation. Misinformation. you guys give Beckham way to much credit. Coach Smith wasn't fired, because he never applied to be one of Jeremy's assistants. Little do you know the two men have never met.

As far as Erwin and Smith Beckham fired them both in February when he got hired. I don't think Chris would want to come back if he did he would have never resigned.

Not to mention at the meeting after coach Beckham got fired the parents were very out spoken about not having Ty Smith as the coach

Purple and Gold IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS,and they know the schemes and it wouldn't be fair to them to force them to change schemes again.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE KIDS.
How does someone get fired from a position they didn't interview for?  Smith never interviewed with Beckham.  Just another lie of his and his partners from up north.

Brahmanman I take it you want to one of those on staff coaches to get consideration. The system shouldn't be a reason to retain a coach, it's about so much more than that.

That's weird... then why was Erwin asked to help with the 8th Graders this spring after everything happened and if you went to the spring game you would have seen that the kids all played and seemed to be having a good time.

No problem one of the problems with message boards we all hide behind screen names. I am sure half the stuff that is said on these things would not be said if we were required to put our real name as our screen name. Wow what a diference that would make.

Hopfully whatever happen I am still around here this fall, because I truly care about every one of the kids that I worked with this spring even the freshman who I only worked with for four days.

I told the kids they could have easily could have quit three weeks ago,and had the rest of spring ball cancelled. However they fought through it,and became better people because some kids did quit. However the ones who stayed will hopfully remember what it is like to fight through adversity in life. As life is not all happy happy joy joy. As they found out.

Like I said IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS,AND I WILL DO ANYTHING FOR ALL OF THEM.

There are 63 candidates, and four of them were coaching te varsity this spring. Hopfully they hire one of them, so the kids do not have to go and learn another new offense and defense. Which they just did.

Because in reality IT'S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

I was at that meeting, and downing said that the kids wanted that offense and defense and that the committee would take what the kids wanted into consideration when they looked for a new coach.

I would hope that the coach would base his offense on the kids' talent.

They want whoever is hired to get started as they have a lot of work to do. However they also said that the AD and Principal want the enw coach to run what they are running right know which is the spread on offense and the 3-4 on defense, they also made this particular statement to the parents the wednesday night after they fired Beckham.

It will hard for them to tell a new coach that they have to run a certain offense and defense.

 

You mean to tell me that they are going to pass up on the next Urban Meyer or Bobby Bowden because he won't run a certain offense or defense? They're smarter than you're giving them credit for.

Typical admin response. Admin here haven't a clue on what it takes to coach any sport and to keep a sports program at the top.
Oh I think they do. That's exactly why the new coach is now the former coach. They were doing their job and looking out for the students. Are you suggesting that they turn their backs, quit poking their noses in, and just let the coach do whatever he feels like doing? That doesn't make good sense.

It will be interesting to see how many candidates they get this late in the summer with football starting in August.

I guarantee one thing who ever gets it will for surely get along with weirsma and will not be able to do anything without her okay. I have been told that is why Beckham got let go he bought things without the okay of the H.S. and they feel he was getting kickbacks from these outside companies.

 

Erwin said he isn't applying. I think he got a bad rap on this whole thing.
