This season, more so than any other that I can remember in my 15 or so years on SETXsports, we're having a major problem with multiple posters from multiple teams continually bashing, criticizing, and insulting various area coaches. Moderators have had to post the no coach-bashing rule in multiple threads that have gone off the rails due to complaints about coaching. There are ways to express yourself without violating this rule. If you can't find a way to do so, I'd suggest avoiding the topic completely. I don't care if WOS goes 2-8, if Vidor runs the ball up the middle 200 times in a row, or if Hull-Daisetta doesn't listen to the experts and mismanages the clock while calling the wrong plays. Anyone who violates this rule during the remainder of the season is receiving an immediate one-week ban. Violations are decided by moderator discretion. If you continue to violate the rule once you return you will be banned permanently. If you're about to make a post about coaching, but you're not sure if it's okay, don't make it. Save your opinion for facebook, or better yet, go to the game and scream it in the stands with the other coaching experts. It's important to remember that while our site encourages healthy discussion, we demand an atmosphere of respect towards our local players, coaches, and communities, no matter your opinion of their performance.. Please remember that this post is your free warning. Any questions about this rule, or about a post you'd like to make, may be sent to myself or other moderators in private message for clarification without repercussions. Below, for the fiftieth time, is the rule that so many of you continue to violate. Thank you, and happy posting. 18 ) The bashing of any particular coach, player, referee, etc will not be tolerated. This includes issues involving their personal lives, coaching/playing style or performance, past experiences, etc.

3A Franklin is 5-0 this season running the Slot T, won State Championship last year. 5A Liberty Hill Slot T is 4-1 this year with one lost by 7 points, an are averaging almost 50 points a game this year. Made it to State Championship last year an fell short.

Opportunity for some of yalls youngsters to make a name for themselves and give their coaches a headache about who should get more playing time once those who are injured returns. 🤷🏾‍♂️ It would be okay if they waited til next week to play well though 😁

regardless of what people may think KT was an absolute monster for us during the 97 & 98 WOS football seasons. He was the back up QB as well but Cornel used his heart & determination to be a hybrid at the Rover End in the 50 defense (which is basically a defensive back in a nickel package/defense). He was a unanimous AllState selection despite his stature. I remain quiet on alot that's spoken here because much of what some of you say isn't worth a wet roll of toilet paper. Lol But I will say this - my main gripe was "be careful what you ask for" when there became an outcry to run CT out of town. Now kids can't even line up properly, at times looking completely lost as if they aren't even coached up in practice. I'm baffled how all of a sudden the WOS defense cant tackle, defend the deep ball, or control the line of scrimmage on either side.

AP did it without their All-State senior running back too. And they are plagued by penalties each week. They were tri-district champs last year and now they have a legit QB who will be playing on Saturdays, and that analysis is based on him as a FRESHMEN. Before week 5 he had just under 1000 yards, 11 TDs 1 int. So my point is now they have an offense that can be carried by their star running back or now by their QB.

Toby has sent something like 30-40 kids to school on FULL RIDES. He is very involved with the track program which anybody will tell you, a good track team correlates to a good football team. He is well connected and respected by college coaches.

^^ THIS ^^

Looks like WOS should have hired this guy.

Coach Faircloth has lead SS to a 4-1 record beating Liberty-Eylau 24-6. Liberty-Eulau was ranked 15th in 4a d2. Coach Faircloth took over a SS team that was 0-10 last season. Before tonight's game SS was ranked #21 in 4a d1. His only loss this season coming at the hands of Hallsville a 5a d2 ranked #20 school. That loss was 34-21. SS hadn't won back to back games since 2018. I believe they had only won 4 games since 2018. This is a great example of the difference a great coach can make.

If it's the 2 certain players on offense I'm thinking about that's not good at all. Already had a WR out right?

Picking Dayton for the win in this one but I think Dayton's defense may need to tighten up a little to make that happen.

Some these Texas Coaches that run the spread offense have gotten their butts handed to them consistently by Slot T teams an probably whined to the UIL about it to change the rules. Lol I agree with you about being able cut block outside the tackles. Make a football move an get out of the way if you want to play. But these same pencil pushers don’t have a problem with a DB taking out the knee’s of a wide receiver instead of hitting him high.

a team with their backs against a wall vs a team looking for payback. Makes for a very good ballgame.

I'd imagine so but you'd also think a kid wouldn't make that move unless they believed they had a solid case for the UIL, I have seen it occur when they could prove they were closing on a house before the season started. To be fair I've seen that 3 times. All three situations were Rental -> purchase that started before season but for reasons took a long period to finalize. Not sure what this kids situation actually was but baselessly making claims of recruiting seems to be outside the interest of everyone involved. The only person that gets hurt by the UIL is the kid.

LCM Lumberton HH Livingston/Vidor

So you know who doesn't have anything in the pipeline eh? Hmmmm

A good coach capitalizes on weak points. How do you think he amassed such a winning record?

Are you sure it’s not for Academic purposes? Lol

Those who played their senior year know homecoming is circled regardless of who you are playing. You want to win. These are the following things going in the Bears direction. 1. Bye week coming off a bad performance against a good team. Plenty of time to refocus and adjust attitudes. 2. New turf and biggest score board in SETX to be debuted. 3. Aforementioned homecoming 4. Stands will be packed with rabid fans 5. The weather will be the epitome of Friday Night Lights. If you can't get hyped and play lights out under those circumstances turn your jersey in. Peevey rights the ship and the Bears head off into district with a three score victory.

I hesitate to even comment on this but I want to say one thing coach cornel was a good coach and a good man. Hiawatha is a good man and has been a good coach. He will be a good head coach. Toby applied for the Silsbee job when Hiawatha did and though he had more experience he did not get the job because the administrators in Silsbee thought Coach Smith was the man for the job. I like Hiawatha but hope Coach Smith is here for a long time.

You are “oh so funny”!! Lol

You would be wrong in that regard. When Creaduer was head coach and Lumberton went on that 3 year run in the playoffs beating teams like LaMarque, those teams played great defense.

for those who are interested: [Hidden Content]

I’ve got Silsbee for the remaining games of district play.

Outsider you're missing the point no one applied because the decision was already made. THE coaching world New this in advance.... The lovely community of Silsbee is very different from the wonderful community of WOS

Anahuac QB will amaze you.

They should have done their homework on who to bring in to meet those Great Expectations. I was being satirical with my statement by the way.

Bingo! Hey @BMTSoulja1 when Toby got to Central didn't yall have a spark in numbers of players getting major offers? he's done the same at Shoemaker.

I didn’t know Todd Dodge was the head coach at PNG! Then he goes on bashing T because at 5’7, 150 lb at DE he couldn’t get a scholarship. He has passion for the silver and blue, but damn, the more he ranted, the goofier he sounded.

I would love for the Dogs to win this The 2 things that must improve this week for that to happen 1. The secondary play must improve 2. more than 1 receiver has to start catching the ball

You should do your research. The ethnicity of Barrett Station is changing. Most of those kids are playing soccer.

Newton baby!

Yea I bet we won’t lose during the bye week lol make it 2 weeks of peace and quiet. Two wins in a row vs the church schools but coming soon we get LCM and L-Town. The frantic fans will be back with a vengeance, until then we celebrate.

Crosby just isn't as good this year and have moved up to a more difficult level. They don't never have had an advantage in coaching. They did it with much better athletes and need that advantage to win. They are not going to out coach teams.

How was your game today? Also, go check never made an excuse for this loss we got whooped. Funny how yall all seem so interested when Crosby loses.

Stop being a poor loser. This is why most in the area give Barrett Station Coog Fans hell.

Can't even beat anyone in Texas.

COMMUNITY INFLUENCE

1 - 3 just got there first win over st Louis catholic out of Lake Charles la

How's Vidor doing this season?

Hopefully Crosby bounces back. True heart is shown when you’re down, character and identity will shine through. Need to keep working hard and not finger point. Crosby will be in the mix at the end of district. PAM and KP still have tough games, district is wide open.

Faircloth at WOS would be unbelievable.

Bench press season is coming!

I disagree. Silsbee was and is the better team.

Coach Hickman isn't being given a fair shake by most of you. WOS has a rich tradition and the community seems to be against this man after 5 games. WOS will get 2nd in district. You can't win em all folks. People show their true character when things are bad. Good luck the rest of the year.

Check the AG barn. Over there with the pigs and sheep.

I had expected it to take longer to plunge the program into mediocrity, but maybe it is a fitting tribute. Hopefully people will finally realize just how singularly important Coach Thompson was to the program and the real ramifications of his absence.

Y’all all keep losing sight of the big picture. They FINALLY have a “person of color” for a head coach. The rest is irrelevant.

It could be superintendent purpose to destroy the tradition in football. Blame on the superintendent and the board to make a decision for what happened to kids. I agreed most of what true hard die Mustangs say about defense changing. When I watched and it really sick in my stomach. They will not success to play deep in the playoffs if they keep that way. I really feel bad for kids because of wrong direction from coaches.
