MISD Athletic Director and Head Football Coach Jack Alvarez has announced his retirement. He will be replaced by assistant AD Jason Hammett,

Hammett served as assistant athletic director under Alvarez.

Alvarez lead the Mavericks to back to back runner up spots in district 8-5A behind district champion Texas High.

Hiring within will allow players to continue their relationships with the current staff without a complete turnover like was experienced in 2022 and 2019.

Marshall is expected by most to challenge Texarkana for the district championship in 2024 with a bevy of returning talent. Keeping offensive and defensive systems and staff in place will be an asset to success.

Coach Hammett takes over with 23 years of coaching experience. He is a graduate of West Texas A&M University. He is a former HFC at 6A Copperas Cove with stints in Corsicana, Ennis, and Burleson Centennial as an offensive coordinator.

Best of luck to Coach Alvarez in his new adventure.

Congrats to Coach Hammett!!!!! Let’s go!!!!! We got some business ti take care of this fall!!

Can we get a Head Coach that is not looking at Marshall as a career booster or ender...?.. a guy that is from here and understands here. Possibly played here. The smaller classifications are littered with OUR HOMETOWN guys who went through the "MAVERICK MAKER" AND BLED FOR THAT 1 CROWN to be obtained.

If not for some personal matters out of my control my blood would have been there too. I love everything about Maverick football. Listen to the games in California, Dallas or at home for 40 years now!. At least a phone call and a burnt offering of unity, Family, comfortable generational wealth to the likes of Shaw, Johnson, Taylor, Keil, McKnight, Brinkman, Conder, Truelove, Jason...(EF)

We did that. In 2013. We hired a guy that was an alum.....played for Dennis Parker......bleeds red and white and is a Maverick to the core.

And he left for the bright lights, big city, and big money of Duncanville.

I don't fault him for that. Everyone does what's best for themselves and their family.... but he still left.

That goes to show that it still doesn't promise longevity.

This is what I think would keep someone in Marshall LONG TERM:

1. Winning
2. Top Pay

I know we're competitive with pay.... but we don't have the pay to KEEP someone from bolting for wealthy suburbs with lower expectations who's happy with 5-5 seasons that pay 130K or more.

Less stress....more pay in a wealthy suburb than a one HS town with a history and an expectation of winning.

All that said.....

I can't say if Coach Hammett will be here for a year..... 3 years....or 20 years.....

But he has all the peices in front of him to be very good for the next several years.
