[Pepper Brooks]

Congrats to Coach Smith!

Welcome to Silsbee!!!

[Who That]

Took his 6A team to state in 14 and they went un touched in district in 15 . His teams record for them two years where  34 - 3

[Mr.Green Jeans]

Not a surprise they went outside so welcome to Southeast Texas, and good luck with the Tigers.  If the community will support him and he can attract all of the athletes to participate look out for the Tigers it will be a very exciting season next year.

[WOSgrad]

Congratulations, Coach Smith and welcome to Southeast Texas

Was this a surprise? I remember on the other thread that Aggies was insinuating that it would be an inside job. This seems pretty much as outside as they could've gone.

Is Mackey gone stay?

I believe He just gave his input on who deserved a shot from the current coaching staff.

Two of those losses came to eventual state champs I believe.  

Allen in 2014

Katy in 2015

[PINETREE]

Welcome to Silsbee Coach Smith......Wishing you success in all you do...

[BMTSoulja1]

He has a lot of talent to work with.  I wish him well!

[Bmt_4now]

What type of offense does he run, and is he gonna keep current coaches that are familiar with the kids

[Bmt_4now]

Did the DC (coach Hickman) interview for this job?

[IT'S IN THE BONE]

Wow...did not really see this one coming...felt like insiders had this one locked down. Goes to show you that when those doors close on an executive session any and all can happen...Congrats to Coach Smith, Silsbee is a great school district and loaded with talent...WELCOME!

The fact that he was an OC hopefully leans towards keeping most of the current staff.  Of course, his call if changes need to be made.

He will most likely bring a few guys with him depending on what the board approves and or requests of him regarding this current staff and the one he choses to bring on board.

I only seen Cy Ranch vs. Allen a couple years ago at Jerry's world and when I seen them they went no huddle, (not fast) but certainly was a single back look 80% of the time with 2 wides one side/ 1 on the other and a flanker (lead blocker) or passes out of the backfield into flats or middle out routes. He's coached for a while and has proven himself worthy. I think it was a great hire, the little that I know. He'll have plenty of talent to work with for sure.

[Bmt_4now]

I know Silsbee was looking for someone long term and I'm surprised that they didn't hire in house or at least from the area! This coach has done a lot of moving around hopefully he was just look for the right head coaching job and hopefully Silsbee is the right fit! Don't wanna c another opening after a couple years! Good luck to Silsbee!

Highlights on HUDL show a TE and spread with some I formation under center.

Basically he looks like a multiple guy.

Just watched some video of Cy Ranch offense. You are correct on the offense. I noticed there was not very many bubble screens being called. He does like those intermediate routes and QB draws

With time if silsbee gets a solid defensive coordinator sounds like they may have a chance to compete for a state title in football great choice silsbee let's get behind this coach and let's win I hope he brings a strong conditioning program also.
