Most of the rumbling in Silsbee comes from this site or non decision makers in the stands who feel they can coach. I for one wasn't a fan at first of Randy Smith but he seems to be doing some positive things in the program. It hard to compete vs the best in the area when you run a new offense and defense isn't that good. 6-5 wasn't the record I expected but I could see them going 4 rounds next season.

I know our board frowns on rumors, but does anybody have any predictions of jobs opening, with credible evidence of course.

Hardin AD/HC will be open after Thanksgiving holidays.

That is a bold prediction, especially since it will also probably be filled as soon as Beaumont West Brook is eliminated from the playoffs.

Coach Stark has already been reassigned or has submitted his resignation. No bold prediction, that is fact.

It will take a bold thick skinned individual to take that position, it's a mess over there.

And a few mommy's and daddy's could take turns as position coaches.

No doubt.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of smaller schools that fit into this category.  Sideline coaches alway know more...just ask them.  I really have a hard time justifying why anyone would want to coach for a living.  There are very few schools where you would run into issues like this.

It is everywhere, at every level. We do it because it is a calling. We love the game and we care about kids. And most of us couldn't make a living doing anything else.

I applaud you.  I can only imagine how tough of a job it must be.  Which is why I always come to the defense of coaches the way I do.  I have a lot of friends and family that were/are in education.

All towns have their loud mouth idiots. Silsbee has their share.

Nothing to see here. Randy Smith is the AD/HC at Silsbee and will be that way next year.

No rumblings to speak on.

VERY accurate statement!

Bottom line, in Silsbee and probably many other places, people can't adopt to change, and automatically become detractors and stay that way, no matter the positive results.  it's the man's first HC gig, and I thing he did quite well.  Hear the Jackarses in the stands,man, go to the spread, it isn't working, but the team put up excellent yards per game all year and put up a ton of points.  It almost seemed like they wanted him to fail, and when he did fail (the loss to Bridge City and loss to Carthage), the villiage idiots come out in full force.  

Anyway, Coach Smith isn't going anywhere and he'll do a lot better next year...

I know of a long time coach in this area that took two seasons to mature his Head Coaching ability.  I believe his team won state last year. Look at the film on his first two years......then now. I believe he learned a few things and adjusted.

The key words that you used "learning" and "adjusting"...

When you think of Texas football, isn't Silsbee the first place that pops into your mind?  

Football isn't even the first thing that pops into my mind when someone says Silsbee athletics.  Isn't their basketball team making state tournament appearances  relatively often?

Pretty sure both posters are being sarcastic.
