Let’sGetAlong Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 I think it's a mistake if they hire anyone else.
j_dog Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 You never know who will apply, and what qualifications they will bring. But for sure, it will be tough to top Toby's credentials. That was a very positive article for him. I think he clearly wants to be at Jasper above many other places and that is very important for Jasper. I know that he has had a deep interest in the Jasper job for years and I believe that he would be in it for the long haul at Jasper.I really liked what he said in the article:"I am going to stick around for a long period of time if I get the job," Foreman said. "My priority is kids first, winning second."He clearly had the WO-S track kids respond to him in a very positive manner; as evidenced by three state track championships in a row. That is hard to accomplish at any level. He is from a winning program and knows how to win. I agree that he would be an excellent choice for Jasper.

WOS95 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 i think toby would be a good fit for jasper...hes paid his dues and i think he deserves a shot at head coaching...jasper always has good, tough athletes..i think toby could lead the jasper football in the right direction
Bigdog Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Wow! Going over to the enemy! lol. Kidding aside, he would be a good fit for Jasper and get their program back on track.
WOSgrad Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 [quote name="bigdog" post="1203490" timestamp="1333028337"]Wow! Going over to the enemy! lol. [/quote]LOL! Interestingly enough, when he spoke to me a couple of weeks back, he and I kidded about that very fact. But he sincerely sees Jasper as a mirror image of West Orange-Stark in the matter of potential and, yes, its challenges. And he is willing to take on those challenges without complaint. Right or wrong, that has seemed to have been an issue with past applicants and coaches in Jasper and I would think that Jasper at this point would be looking for someone where that game wouldn't have to be played.
football Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 Sounds more like someone is looking at facts and not just listening to his heart. How is he the most qualified??? Do we have a list??? I can appreciate what Toby has done in track. Even though you have SIX of the fastest kids in 3A, you still have to put them in the right place and drive the bus.

If I was speaking from the heart, I'd say screw Jasper and tell him to bide his time up at Texas High until Coach Thompson retires and just come and take the WO-S job.
football Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 I was referring to the post that I believe is now deleted.
texark66 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Posted March 29, 2012 He has done a great job at Texas High. Good luck to Toby if he gets the Jasper job. Coach Norton at Texas High will come up with another top notch coach if coach Foreman leaves.
kicker Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Toby would turn the Bulldog program around. He also puts just as much emphasis on other sports besides football too. As an AD, thats what you want. His "discipline first, winning second" is a direct result of playing for and coaching with Hooks and Thompson at WOS. He would be the correct selection for the job.
hssf Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Does anybody know how many have applied? Why wouldn't Toby be a finalist?
