It’s like you got WOS blinders on…all the way from Silsbee lol.Really though Hick has the support and everyone loves him but he’s not ready to take over WOS,Toby won’t miss a beat and that’s the difference imo!

Won't miss a losing beat?!  Why would you wish that on WOS?!   9 years as a HC and has a losing record.  Remember -- facts don't care about your feelings!

This is so so wrong of the West Orange community. Did we want Toby? I was the first person on this thread to suggest it. Yes, I think that was the majority’s pick but to show up and act a fool and dis

You typed it wrong or I’m reading it wrong but it looks like you’re at least somewhat agreeing with what I’ve been saying…It’s the truth too,I’ve seen people jump to LCM for a long time and for worse reasons!

No #1 I've just been talking and listening to family and friends. They want Coach Foreman. A lot of them do. It does not work out for some (player) who go to other schools because they are un-happy at WOS though.

No matter how you spin it coaching will always be about helping young people. Help develop them as people not just athletes. 

I know what Tobe did at WOS under Hooks/CT . I also know what Hickman did under CT,  THERE is a BIG difference between the two

One was busy winning championships in track. And getting kids to Texas, Oklahoma, TT, A&M, and probably more that I'm forgetting.

What does Hickman do when not on the field... assistant principal?

I agreed with you, WOSdrummer99.

It is big difference. 

Assistant principal will not have time to spend on the field since will have big responsibilities at school with kids while real one such as Toby will more focus on athletes kids. Bond will be factor as well.

Therefore, Toby would be best choice. Record mean nothing because he know WOS program.

I hope for WOS' sake that whoever is making the hiring decision doesn't have this same feeling!

To be fair wasn't he on the team the last few times we won state?

Not sure, but so was everyone else. Toby has been on the sideline for every WOS state final appearance. Even back in the 80s as a ball boy. We always thought he was lucky to be a coaches son. Now this time should be his chance. There was no doubt why he called the last playoff games with Gary Stelly.

Come on Track lol REALLY 

 

WOS culture is built and inherited regardless of what comes Toby has been and Head and away from WOS so you learn new stuff and new ways so regardless of some think your not getting a 2012 version your getting a 2022 version. 

Hickman is in the program and has yet to sit in that HC seat so it’s a lot of questions behind but regardless who they hire LCM will benefit for sure

I just don't buy the line that WOS' best athletes will flock to LCM if Toby isn't hired. Sure, WOS kids have transferred to LCM for various reasons for as long as I can remember, but its usually just marginal talent that couldn't cut it at WOS. I've lived in LC most of my life, but have had numerous friends and family members graduate from WOS, and there is WAY too much pride in the WOS football program for it to crumble like a lot of people are predicting if Hickman is hired . FYI I think Toby is the no-brainer choice for the program moving forward.

I'm with you!! I think Matthew is one of the most underrated coaches anywhere.he gets the most out of his players.and he keeps those kids focused.and they don't fear anyone.he gets the most out his players.there isn't many coaches in setx better than him

 

Isn't that just another way of saying the  players suck ? You are saying sub .500 is the best they are capable of doing

I repeat hire them both, no one coach will be able to match C.T. productivity anyways.

One has to wonder though:  If Foreman did indeed apply and would accept if offered, that would be dropping down 2 classifications.  That's pretty well admitting he can't hang with the big dogs!  One CANNOT run from their record:  42 - 52!  No District Championships and no State Championships!  A word to the wise:  Caveat Emptor!

I don't know him, and I don't have a dog in the hunt, but after reading through all this there seems to be a distinct familiarity bias at work here. 

What WOS, and all others in this situation should do is ask themselves "If this candidate was a total outsider, and not a homer or somebody with connections, would we still hire him?"

Maybe this guy is the best out there, I have no idea, but I would think it through. If he really is the guy, by all means proceed!

So if PNG's coach dropped down to Newton, you'd expect no change? Or would he be able to win, with more talent in a smaller division?

I said with my 1st post on this topic, page 3, I think. That this should be the premiere job opening in the state this off season. But from the list of known candidates, it appears to be an inside job. And out of those 2, one has never been in the position before.

To answer you're question... No, and I doubt he would even be interested if this wasn't his Alma mater.

Why aren't more winning coaches from across the state being considered? The other 2 I heard about were combined 23-47 record.

Not sure I’m understanding all the talk about Tobys overall HC record. Let’s not forget he took over a horrible 0-10 Shoemaker team, so a good number of those losses was getting that program going in a different direction. I don’t think anywhere he’s been has the same consistent talent that comes through WOS.  Also Some coaches just fit in better in some areas than others. Happens at all levels

      How do you know that Harrison is not a big opportunity? I don't really know him, but maybe just maybe he is what Liberty needs. I was just wondering what you know about Harrison that doesn't make him a big opportunity.

      US Supreme Court case from southeast Texas

      By tvc184 · Posted

      Looking back at the exact wording, it seems like you are correct and it was the concrete barriers that were the ultimate problem. I mentioned it in my last comment, even if it was just the barriers, did Texas take his property? I think a case like US v. Causby might go a long way to proving his case. Causby had an egg farm and during World War II, the US government started flying four engine heavy bombers for the war effort, low over his farm at full power. The extremely loud noise killed a bunch of his chickens and caused many of the rest of them to quit laying eggs. Even though he legally still on the property, he sued, saying that the federal government had effectively “taken” the use of his property from him. The US Supreme Court sided with him, saying that for the purposes of the Fifth Amendment, the federal government had indeed taken away the use of his property. It wasn’t intentional but that didn’t matter. It seems like this case would fall somewhere along those lines.

      That might have added to it but it said that they intentionally raised the roadway to help it act as a dam. Even if it was the dividers and no intent, did the state “take” his property without compensation? I think that it is interesting that a local landowner fought his case all the way to the US Supreme Court and won in a unanimous decision. So while he has not won his case yet, he won the right to have his day in court and possibly heard by a jury.
