Hound logoJust like that, Rusty Dowling will not be consulting the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District in its search for a new athletic director and head football coach.

According to SBCISD Interim Superintendent Dr. Ismael Cantu, the Board of Trustees will meet in executive session during a special board meeting scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 3, at the John F. Barron Administration Building to discuss which direction to take the search following Dowling’s departure.

    32-6A
    Brownsville Hanna
    Brownsville Lopez
    Brownsville Rivera
    Brownsville Veterans Memorial

    Harlingen South
    Los Fresnos
    San Benito

    Whatever coach comes in will be sure to get paid well. With that schedule in the first year, the school board not taking their smarties, and putting up with the greyhound fans, a fat check will be a suffice reward for the season to come.

    No CHAMPIONship in the year to come. There is always the next year.

    School board = Jerry Jones
    Greyhounds = Cowboys

    Diehard fans.
    Overpay everybody.
    Spend money.
    Underproduce.
    Blame everyone else.
    There’s always next year.
    Disappointed fans.
    But we have a BAMF stadium!

    Mr. Editor, I saw the story about Progreso ISD on channel 5 news and how it’s going to have background checks on its employees and that they have at least 2 with criminal pasts. I remember that San Benito CISD did this a few years ago, but nothing came of it because some of the ones with criminal pasts are blood relatives of sitting board members. I wish the San Benito news would expose the fact that the board knows this and hasn’t done a thing about it, except give those particular people raises. Why do other districts follow the TEA rules but not San Benito. Drug related crime and manslaughter. Wow, and they still have their jobs because of their relatives on the board. Yep, it is the 4.
