More of the same...only more.  Year after year.  I don't want that for my child.  Do you want it for yours?

Never say never, I always say.  But whether Hoover will ever be as bad as B'ham is irrelevant.  It needs to be better than it is now and as long as the status quo remains, well, the status quo, it will never be better.
 
Sorry, I said "never".

You're assuming that there are always going to be enough of them who can afford to live here.  Having said that, your point is taken...

You are right, HooverHooch. The Hoover School System needs to pull together, stop the witch hunt, put this behind them and move forward. All of this is unproductive. You hear this sort of talk and rumors in every workplace and you just have to move on and don't get consumed by personal agendas and vendettas.

BucsJags, the system is beginning to pull together, that is, the quiet majority of decent citizens who are more interested in the school than the football program are beginning to stir.  They are tired of the corruption and immorality that certain of our "leaders" have flaunted in their faces.   This is no witch hunt - it is a housecleaning - and the sooner we throw out the trash and scum that are living in our house, the better.  There is no good time for this sort of thing, but eventually it has to be done.

Well, if you follow my reasoning, I think it is idiotic to have had Bishops contract expire two weeks before school started.  While hindsight is 20/20, the timing on Bishop was unavoidable unless you go back to the writing of the contract.  I personally think that Jarnigan was hired as CAO knowing full well that he was going to be principal of Hoover High School, but I have no proof of it.  Call it a hunch that has no backing or support.  You say in one post "housecleaning", here you say just the football coach.  "Housecleaning" a week before school starts is a bad move.  I reiterate my position on this.  I don't care.  I don't think what he has done makes him deserving to be fired, but a side of me wants him to go just to drop the topic and move on to something else.

My opinion of Bill Clinton is that he has nasty taste in women, but since that is not a crime, he should not have been prosecuted.

I agree with Hooch that Jarnigan was in place for the position.
 
That is the only thing I agree with.  If it was Hooch's child that had sex with the president when they were an intern, would it be different?

I am well aware of that, Superdolfan, but I wanted to get Hooch's take on that.  I have asked numerous people the same question and you would be amazed (or perhaps you wouldn't) how many of them would have hung Clinton for the personal behavior, but feel exactly the opposite about Rush.  Hooch, at least, is not the hypocrite many others are...

slc07, you have no idea what you're ranting about. For starters, Rush Propst was only remotely interested in one coaching job and that was the UAB Head Coach opening.
