yup..
Frisco Liberty coach and former Hebron defensive coordinator Joe McBride has been named the new football coach at Coppell High School.
McBride, who guided Frisco Liberty to a 5-5 record last fall in his only season at the school, guided Hebron’s defense in 2005 when the Hawks won the Class 4A Division II state championship.
“It’s a great opportunity,” said McBride, who will start full time duties next week. “I think Coppell’s a great place, and I’ve thought that for a while. It’s a great community, great kids, great administration, and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.”
CISD Athletics Director John Crawford is excited about McBride coming to Coppell and expects players to be as well.
“It was a difficult decision. We had a lot of outstanding applicants, but we felt he had the most to offer our football program,” Crawford said. “We’re really excited about coach McBride. He brings a lot of energy and a tough-minded attitude. He’s everything we were looking for in a coach.”
McBride replaces Bob Shipley, who resigned as coach of the Cowboys to accept the head coaching position at Brownwood. He becomes Coppell’s third coach in four years.

Sounds like the fast track to a head coaching job is to be DC at Hebron.
SMELL-IT!

Congrats to Joe McBride. Coppell just got alot better. Great football mind, Great man. I promise you, the attitude at Coppell just got a whole lot tuffer. However, he will have to come up with a different slogan. I have trade marked "Bring the Wood"! Ha! Way to go Joe, Joe! :D

Coppell must not be the peach of a job everyone makes it out to be. They had a great season last year, but they are the classic underachiever. Usually first or second round exit. That and they can't keep a head coach lately. First, it was Fuller running to Colleyville and now Shipley after two years to Brownwood. The job was offered to not one, or two, but three guys before McBride took it. Glenn Hill, Lee Fedora, and Corby Meekins all said thanks, but no thanks. In my opinion a one horse town with a split AD/HC spells nothing, but trouble.

only one of those guys was offered the job before McBride....just because you come look and get an interview doesn't mean you get a job offer....don't believe everything you read! And about the rest of what you wrote...I think you are too far removed to really know what is going on and be able to comment on it.

Actually I am not far removed from anything that I said. Don't confuse a screen name or a current location for someone's knowledge of a situation. Oh, and thank you for the insight on the interview process. I might have been lost without your "expert" synopsis. Give me a break! McBride was fourth in line for this job no matter how you want to tell the story.

First off, I'm not going to comment on your absolutely idiocy or complete ignorance of the situation with previous coaching options, oh wait, I guess I am. But anyways, I really don't think you can call coppell the classic underachiever. How is losing to eventual state champ in the second round underachieving for a team that wasn't supposed to win a district game?

Wrong again. He was not fourth in line for this job. You really don't understand the details of how this process went and how everything got to the point of McBride getting the job.

this is what the dmn predicted at the beginning of the year... either us or lewisville was supposed to go through district without a win... now while this is the dmn and honestly doesnt matter because we obviously blew that out of the water, that really isnt underachieving

So does this new coach mean that we don't have to score 40+ points to win a game?? :) If he can add a stronger defense to what should still be a potent offense it will be a great year.

CenTex22.... on surface your comments look correct, however I believe The Old Coach allows coaches who showed interest in a job but are not going to get it to say they turned it down in order to minimize damage @ school they are currently located.....I would be willing to bet if erwin is not anounced as permians new coach he will anounce he was not interested after all and turned it down.... just the way it works...
Also, Coppell may have known for being an underachiever prior to Shipley but there was nothing underacheiving about HIS Cowboy teams...
McBride looks to be a super hire congrats AD Crawford !

Read the article. Probably the 5th choice and the 4th offered the job. McNabb does most of the reporting and he is pretty accurate. That and those guys probably did turn the job down. It happens all the time guys.

centex, as you said, read the article... mcnabb also clearly states that the community was not on board with any of the other coaches. if you want to continue to argue that coppell isnt a great job, be my guest, but what happened as i saw it, and i do actually go to the school and know people actively involved in the search, was that the community was not going to settle for anything less than the best, and joe mcbride is an incredible defensive mind and just what this town needs

Coppell is a great job as far as facilities and athletes are concerned. Good coaches don't often leave schools with great facilities, good athletes and good pay.
"McNabb also clearly states that the community was not on board with any of the other coaches"
Perhaps the problem lies in that very statement.

I think Mcbride is an excellent choice. I think he will make the program better over time. He is a hard worker and will grow the program in the community and with the kids. I am not sure he was the first or fourth choice but I believe Crawford got it right (FINALLY). Shipley never wanted to be here and was never very involved in the offseason or summer program. Farmer Fan was right “overrated” (sorry Worster70)

How is the community not settling for a sub par coach a problem? AD crawford did a great job listening to the community in his choice of mcbride and that's why this deal got done. Kudos coach Crawford:notworthy

Looking forward to being a good neighbor next year and returning the favor when we visited you last year.;) I'll say this for Shipley, his kids never quit against us, and that is what it takes. Coppell and Marcus were two teams that impressed me very much last year. Coppell in particular because I was expecting a down year. If McBride can keep that going....

One nice thing about Coppell kids is that they are always smart enough to grasp any any offensive philosophy. The difference is that they never have the stud athletes to consistently play rock solid defense. This is where a great defensive mind can come in and really change things around.
Coppell football will always have a nice offense and be able put points up on anyone. Once the scheme is in place defensively though, watch out.
I really think the table is set with next year's juniors and next year's freshman class for Coppell to really take off by 2010.

So none of the 3 wins were suppose to be against any team in the district..or you dont remember that?

What's the word on Cam McDaniel? I read the Rivals article that reported Shipley's Brownwood acceptance, and it said that there's a possibility that the McDaniel family would go with the Shipleys, since they followed them here from Burnet.

Thats exactly right..You never know..Coppell certainly never looked like a 5th or 6th place team and Lewisville definately did.

Good hire. Considering that Coppell is a quality job, why do you think the other finalists turned down the job, though?

Sounds like Coppell made a great hire. Anyone who has flourished under Brazil has serious potential, imo. Hiring a coach is a serious process that should not be rushed. If it took a little while or if the perception isn't good but you get the right man for the job in the end, so be it. Coppell has always been a great coaching staff away from being a bigtime noise maker. All the other ingredients exist or are there to be harvested. Should be interesting .......

What he said +1. Coach McBride will do great things for the Cowboys and just may be able to get them over the Hebron hurdle. He will bring a toughness to the program that has been somewhat lacking and a work ethic that the kids will absolutely love. This hire just made the 6-5A that much better.

McBride will get the most out of the Coppell kids and he will never settle for less than their best. His teams never play "soft".
Hard to say it but he will turn Coppell into a smash mouth football team or he will be gone in two years.
The question I have is are the parents and admin over at Coppell up to the demands that McBride will put on their kids.
If they are, Dist. 6-5A just became impossible.

Mcbride is also bringing his DC from Liberty with him, Mike Dewitt, who has been with McBride since Hebron. So there is definitely going to be some better defense in Coppell. From what I hear about McBride is that he is a stand up guy who is just as concerned about the character of his coaches and players as he is their talent. His defensive whits will be put to the test week in and week out, for footballs will flying around everywhere in that district.

Coach McBride has already put his foot down and making demands of the players. The players are eating it up....some things the players have said are "Coach McBride is Awesome!" "He is exactly what our team needed" "He makes us want to work harder" "He demands the best from us" "He is tough" He already has earned the players respect. Smash mouth here we come and yes Dist 6-5A is now impossible!
