Why does a football coach leave a highly successful football-mad town of Cuero to the unrest and turmoil of the PISD and Dobie High School? . . . .
Gilbreth, whose concept of the game is totally team-oriented, says he feels the ranking shouldn't overshadow the individuals who participate. "I'm in it for the kids," he professes.
His strong straight-forward attitudes towards his job have caused much concern within the coaching staff already at Dobie. With the power to evaluate each coach at the end of the year and make recommendations concerning them, Gilbreth's "workaholic" attitude has most Dobie coaches looking elsewhere for employment.
Gilbreth coached winning seasons for Dobie from the fall of 1981 through the fall of 1984 before leaving in the spring of 1985 to coach for Clements. Buzzy Keith came on board a month later and remained for 10 seasons.
Coach gilbreth was a great coach. He taught us the type of football that one could be proud of. He was straight forward and dedicated in coaching us to play the best we could. I will never forget his wanting and accomplishing his efforts in coaching us. We were the Cotulla cowboys in Cotulla,texas. My name is Ramon Vela class of 1968.
