I guess being the AD and football coach in Cuero is more appealing.....and more money probably....

Doubt more $$, unless CCISD really lowered the salary. At one time Welch was the 2nd or 3rd highest paid coach in the state.
Never thought much of this Alvarez.

Until recently, I haven't been to a football game in over a decade. The few I went to were less than impressive, to say the least. Hopefully whoever comes in next can help with that.

The talent pool dried up.

Back in the '80s, Cove had that problem--MOST of the young men in the high school were NOT INTERESTED in playing football, no matter what was promised (you want to be on the Varsity? How fast can you run?)
Had family friends who lived in Cove who said the coaches would roam the hallways, looking for boys who looked like they were capable of being on the gridiron...most schools seem to have to turn kids away, or have grueling tryouts to thin the herd a bit.

It's awfully hard to get any kind of athlete out of the milksops we're raising these days. They don't know what a good day's work is. We are just going to have to import more and more of our athletes or give up having the games.

Prior to that it was the "good ole boy" system in Cove. Parents friends of the coach? Your kid would start. After a few years of that the good players wouldn't bother playing. Hard to win when your bet players are on the bench.

There was a story in Texas Monthly a couple of years or so ago, about how some towns' high school don't have enough players for the football team. Many young boys would rather play soccer/Futbol than traditional American football. Less chances of serious injury, plus it seems to be more interesting to them for some reason. Others don't want to risk a potential life-changing injury (legs, back, neck).
