Good young up and coming coach looking for a shot. Of course, still pending approval. Coach Hickman will be fine. No doubts here on that note. Quote
Silsbee92 Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Rumor is he has been offered a spot on the staff, of course I'm also hearing that he has been approached by some other teams as well. Again, just the rumor mill around town here which is still trying wrap their minds around the changes happening. AthleticSupporter - Jock 1 Quote

A new guy is hired to run a program. He is going to bring in 2 or 3 top assistants (usually to run his offense, defense, and special teams) that he knows, has his same philosophy, and he can trust. Most places will give the coaches already on staff an opportunity to stay or leave on their own accord. If you get into the coaching profession, you understand this, you may not like it or agree with it, but it's the business. Pepper Brooks, BADSANTA and AthleticSupporter - Jock 3 Quote
PlayActionPass Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Michael Allen is a heck of a coach. He knows his stuff, will always be prepared, is great in film study and opponent breakdown, he will have the defense playing aggressive, smart and with reckless abandon. They will be fast to the ball, physical and force numerous turnovers. He is also an amazing motivator and relates very well to the kids. He is a great addition to the staff. Now, we will see who comes on the offensive side to hopefully balance out the run heavy head coach. Pepper Brooks 1 Quote

Cy Ranch lost to a state champion Katy in the playoffs this year, in a later round I believe. Whatever offense he runs, it must be successful to play as they did in the Houston area.

PlayActionPass Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 I'm pretty sure he will bring in his own guy as the OC, not sure what that means since he is going to call the plays on Friday nights. Quote

Because Silsbee has the self-proclaimed "best receiving corp in SETX," that's why. And it's way past time for the players and their parents to stand up and be heard! This is SILSBEE, after all! Let Coach Smith hear it, Tigers! Quote

Mr.Green Jeans Posted April 4, 2016 Report Posted April 4, 2016 Back to the topic coach Smith's system will be put in place no matter who stays or goes that is how the life of high school coaching works these days. Everyone will no soon enough who is staying and who is moving on. WOSgrad and Pepper Brooks 2 Quote
dillonpanthers Posted April 7, 2016 Report Posted April 7, 2016 Any wordif Mackey is staying on there? Guessing if he stays he'd be an assistant and Smith will have his own OC? Quote
