A sad bunch. Where are the local guys, assistants from winning programs, "elite" coaches?

Nothing?

I'm more surprised nothing was said about Coach Ferguson applying, I didn't know anything about it. It wasn't said on the other site either from what I've noticed. 

I’m surprised as well.  I didn’t know he was even coaching after the reason he got ran off from Shelbyville…. But not sure how that case was even resolved either.

 

Ferguson was a damn good football coach.   Maybe the best coach on that list.    But WOS did well staying away from him.

That's what's so alarming

Just shooting straight.
 

No offense, but WOS had a lot working against it. The expectations are through the roof, but pay, facilities, and location are not very desirable… but anything less than an SC is gonna be considered a failure. 

Add to that a “woke” administration, a fan base that just tried to have a hall of fame coach fired based on charges of racism, and a precarious situation with the TEA and there’s just not a lot to love about the “opportunity.”

 

Hence the handful of retreads who applied…

I’m pretty shocked on just 13 people applied for this job… 

Not me. Coaches talk among themselves. They know about situations at other schools. I mean if some in the town got a petition to get rid of a hall of fame legendary coach because he wasn’t doing things the way they wanted, what in the heck would they do to some new guy when he goes against them? 
No one wants to get into a toxic situation like that.

One person wanted back into the toxic situation. Even after all the politics he went through at BISD.

Dumb question… how can a chronically bad program like BC get dozens of applicants when a powerhouse like WOS can only manage 13? 
 

Hint…. WOS isn’t as great as WOS homers think it is. 
 

Do you think PNG will have more or less than 13 applicants? 
 

😅😂😅

I predict it’s going to be a sad and shocking reality for Mustang nation when they start to look pretty pedestrian.  Hall of Fame coaches don’t grow on trees.  Again, I wish him the best but my prediction for Hickman?  Heartburn and a lot of it. 

For a school that moved to get rid of the “chain gang” moniker, it’s surprising that they hired a coach whose name is obviously appropriating Native American culture. 
 

They’re about to get a nasty letter from the Cherokee Nation, too.

I sure the local guys knew who they wanted and realized they had no chance. As for people outside the area... I don't believe the job was posted on Texas High School Coach Association web site... Usually Coaches take this as a sign... "don't apply.. we got our guy.. this is just a formality"..

This and a couple of other reasons.

You hit the nail on the head. And this is coming from a WO-S graduate and longtime bigtime supporter. But it is what it is... the truth hurts sometimes.

Y'all got rid of those concrete bleachers?  I miss those 32 inch step downs every time I want to go to that repurposed tool shack from over at Firestone that y'all call a concession stand.   

And the swampy parking lot on the visitor's side?  I miss having to lock in the diffs to get out of there if it's rained in the last 45 days. 

What about the world's smallest video screen?  Did they ever get that thing fixed?

Last time I checked, your band didn't even have uniforms.  Out there marching around like it's the first day of summer band camp in shorts and tshirts. 

 

I can go on all day.

We all know you can go all day!

some of what you say is an opinion,some false

The bleachers some including me like,the concession stands are pretty new(I think you are referring to the old ones under the stands).

Visitor parking lot is concrete 

Video screen is the newest and biggest in our area for sure(new again after Laura got the first one)

The band has uniforms every year,although I am with you on the part of not wearing them ALL the time!

You should for the heck of it ride by or stop in and see what’s happening around there,especially the new event center/gym!

My friend I hope so. But, ik for a fact that alot of ppl are pissed at (supt) from making this decision on his own.and they plan on voicing there opinion at the board meeting. He should've considered all the candidates bf he decided this on his own.harris went abt this the wrong way.smh.

If what you say is true, it should  have not gone down like that. A lot of people are angry. I just feel that we should support the students, and hope for the best. I truly believe that this coach will shine.

I bet stepping down 32” and walking to the swampy parking lot was even harder heading after taking one of y’all’s regular beatings at that stadium.

    • I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure. 
    • WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
    • To the 41 individuals that picked TH…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Round 4 here we come!
