I do think the man behind the curtain played us all. And the board went right along with it because the back to back HOF coachs made it seem so easy a caveman could do it. There's a difference between confidence and arrogance. Confidence is a bullfighter going in the ring with steak sauce on his sword. Arrogance is thinking the kids athletic abilities carried the coaches. Then blaming a drop in talent for the losing seasons. One was overheard saying the coaches are too smart for the kids. And they can't learn the new system. Edited Tuesday at 04:43 AM by WOSdrummer99 dj, Gasilla and marshman 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardinalBacker Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago Y’all had it good for a long time… it’s pretty clear to see that it’s over. West Orange isn’t some blessed zip code that’s always going to win… y’all just had lighting in a bottle for a long time. HH isn’t a bad coach, he’s just not as good as your last two. Very, very few are. The question is whether or not y’all can attract another HOF caliber coach to bring the program back to dominance-which isn’t guaranteed. I think the future involves y’all mixing it up for DCs in some years, making the playoffs most, then eventually dropping to 3A D1 and having more success down there. No Thanksgiving practices in your future, though. At this point the chain is broken. There are no kids left who have any time under that level of coaching. I just don’t see things getting better.

marshman Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago Been said before but you’d think with a program that WOS has had the last 4 decades, the history and traditions it has, it would have attracted a few high caliber quality coaches from strong programs. That didn’t happen. Which leads me to believe it’s small town politics mainly with the school board that kept any from applying. Schools like Gilmer, Southlake Carroll, Celina, Austin Westlake and others can have a new HC step in and keep the train rolling pretty much without missing a beat.

Tales of two coaches. Hickman and Smith applied for the Silsbee job. Coach smith in his first three years at Silsbee went 23-15. Smith overall is 78-34. In Smith’s third year he brought Silsbee to state semi finals. Smith is 10-3 in the playoffs. Hickman 19-15, 1-3 in the playoffs in three years and went farthest to the area round. Do you think Hickman would have brought Silsbee to the State Semi finals in silsbee 3rd season? WOS has athletes and probably have better athlete's than Silsbee. But the lack of discipline and coaching strategy is apparent. Gasilla 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
