BMTSoulja1 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well, that was quick... No list of applicants? No finalists? Seems fishy to me, but congrats to him. But talking to several WB fans, they would've preferred a different hire... Tiger33 and navydawg31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

82 5A State Champs Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I mean, seriously? West Brook has one of the worst defenses it's ever had, last year, and this is the guy they hire???? The defensive coordinator, who's defense couldn't stop my lawn mower? Really? BISD is a complete joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irishwoad Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Who do you guys feel should have gotten the job at West Brook.? I mean hasn't that man acted as the head coach for the past 4 months. Why wouldn't you want to keep the hire internal, they had one of the best seasons in years and the kids seem to respond to them. dBerrySports 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Pig Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Great hire Westbrook! Dang good coach and a better person! Kids will play hard for Coach Peevey. Look for Westbrook to make some serious noise next season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMTSoulja1 Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Many wanted an outside hire, according to many WB fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishwoad Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 I can see that but why? Just curious what would an outside hire bring, that the D.C. Couldnt? They had one year where the defense struggled but the year before the defense was great so you can't blame that. i guess I am just trying to find the logic in wanting an outside hire. Not saying either is right or wrong just curious. BMTSoulja1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dBerrySports Posted February 19, 2017 Report Share Posted February 19, 2017 Fans controlling who would be hired as a head coach is the one thing I for sure know would be worse than BISD controlling it. About a week ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there are several "10 or so" fans that each group had a certain coach in mind to hire. I think it's a good hire considering.

I thought it would be common sense that one person wouldn't know the full West Brook Fan base... But hey, whatever. Point being that I value those 10 or more fans, fans that I've known for a long time, not fair weather fans. The ones that's been around during the Rhabb years. And I'm just conveying their thoughts. Personally, with the momentum the young guns had last year, it would be good to have familiarity on their side.

fido Posted February 22, 2017 Report Share Posted February 22, 2017 Well boys, in the era of copy,paste, send even small jobs get between 60-110 applicants when they open. Large jobs have averaged over 50 applicants in our state. WB had a total of 8 applicants I believe. That is a statement in itself. Few good or successful head coaches wanted to touch this situation. I see the BISD admin as the major reason not WB athletics for this lack of interest in the job. I do think WB is still a great football job, it's the STUFF that goes with the job that seems to be the problem. This boy Peevey seems to have first hand knowledge of the situation and still accepted the challenge. Peevey is considered a good young coach in the coaching circles. I have not heard one negative comment on this young man. He will bring energy and enthusiasm to this program that Flan never could. There are coaches Peevey will bring in that will breath fire into the program. He is a coach that will work with the school to promote the coaches and athletes. He will produce an organized program that will put athletes in a position to be successful. He will be demanding yet fair. The one thing I always hear is that he gets the best out of his kids. Lets see what happens. I've heard it said he couldn't stop a lawn mower. Maybe we shouldn't try to run the new coach over with a lawn mower. After all when you get what you want (a new coach). WHy complain. WOSgrad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
