ladybug33 Posted March 27, 2022 Report Share Posted March 27, 2022 I heard that the players are studying plays that will basically be the same but, coach is changing their names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judex Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 I am shocked by the number of people that seem to be unaware that Coach T was there from the very beginning. That was his team long before he was the head coach. We had a brief period when he left and then he came back. We saw what happened. The proof was in the pudding and some folks can't see it. They will learn now. Plenty of schools in the area have had horses over the years. There was a reason for the consistent success and it wasn't just the athletes. The slow degradation cometh and the legacy is about to fade. It will be slow enough that it'll be gone before people realize it. Like anything else, all good things must come to an end. dj, marshman and RanchHand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOSdrummer99 Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 This discussion always reminds me of this. There's Coach T. Where's Coach Hooks? Those men demanded respect. Doubt there will ever be coachs like this again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judex Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 4 hours ago, SmashMouth said: Why not? I'm not trying to diminish one over another and I didn't play, so I am going by what my friends who did had to say. I was there 85-89 when the dynasty started and back then it was understood that although Dan was the head coach, that was Coach T's team. "Defense wins championships." Coach T became DC in 1981. He was also the strength and conditioning coach. Also importantly, he was the disciplinarian. WO-S' reputation is defense and conditioning. Discipline. From 1985 to now WO-S has missed the playoffs just 5 times. '92 when we forfeited some district games, '99, then 2001-2003. Coach T was gone to Palestine and Huntsville 2001-2003. It could be a wild coincidence. The district was tough. Going 8-2 and missing the playoffs is tough. But, it could also be the proof in the pudding. I bleed blue and silver. I WANT to be wrong. I just don't think I am. People were fighting for Toby because they believed he was the best chance to continue a legacy because he spent so much of his life a part of it. Every little change we hear about from outsiders coming in sounds like the death of what has worked for so long. It just sounds like it is really finally over.

Majestyk Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Good or bad, all valid points and good for discussion. Gonna have to wait and see how this all turns out. Just know this Mustangs, and this is important, no matter where you've been, there you were, no matter where you're at, there you are, no matter where you're goin, there you'll be. I made that up a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they made that same proclamation when Bear Bryant left Alabama. You may be right, but dang, at least let them play a game first. Btw, is Hickman a disciplinarian? Is he defense oriented?

mat Posted March 29, 2022 Report Share Posted March 29, 2022 Many coaches could move right in and win with that WOS tradition and a stable full of well conditioned athletes that WOS has. However, sustaining that winning tradition is another story. Time will tell but give him a chance. Majestyk and SmashMouth 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
