I did learn that a very significant area coach interviewed for this position. I highly doubt he will take the job, but did interview.

I see where the Westwood coach is on admin leave now. School board voting tonight to fire him or not. Silsbee may have dodged a bullet.

It will be very difficult for Houston to trade him due to his contract and being damaged goods. Astros would basically expect nothing in return for him. That's not good business.

It's my understanding that both have a degree. Silsbee has always required all their head coaches to be certified teachers.

I simply can't see Silsbee promoting Jacob over Ira at this point unless that's Ira wish. Both have interviewed. I can see them promoting Ira to head coach for the next 3-4 years then handing the reigns over to Jacob.

Yes, but for soccer and track.

All the scores:

HJ went undefeated in Pool A, beating Katy Home School, Liberty and Jasper Silsbee went undefeated in Pool B, beating Hamshire-Fannett, Huffman and WO-S HJ defeated Silsbee in the final, 20-7. HJ qualifies for state tourney.

That's for soccer and track.

Not necessarily. He is not certified and Silsbee has always required their head coaches to be certified teachers. Optics has nothing to do with it.

@BMTSoulja1 interesting statistics. Don't you think?

Ira was nothing like Travis

No. This happened in Beaumont. He doesn't comment when things like this happen there. Now when it happens in other cities, towns and communities in our area, he is all over it. Very very quick to respond.

A little bit. Took Silsbee to the state tournament in 2008 and 2010. Regional tourneys in 2005, 2007, 2009.

I need someone to respond to this subject. Need his expertise in calling out this sort of thing.

Not yet.

Tremaine Hancock didn't apply. Travis Williams did apply.

I stated that in my post above. But I think you knew that already. 😉

Feel free

He does want it.

I don't like to get involved in any hiring process or campaign for anyone. But if it was up to me, I would promote Ira Brooks to the head coach position and make his son Jacob 1st assistant and be HC in waiting for a few more years till Ira retires. I do realize that neither are certified but I personally would make this exception and would be able to give time for Jacob to get certified. I believe Ira has earned it.

It's true

They are waiting on Coach Mike Krzyzewski and Coach Roy Williams to fly down for interviews. Then they will be finished.

Some fans won't because they are fanatics and don't have logic and reason. It's been a very long time since Silsbee has been down (meaning struggling to make playoffs). Been a historical run for Silsbee these last 20+ years. Next year and year after will be the time to get your licks in on Silsbee. But Silsbee has too much talent in their gyms to be down long. I like you using the word "realistic" because this run has been unrealistic to many many teams. A fan base can definitely get spoiled from these kind of runs. I really think this hire is the key to continue Silsbee's rarified success.
