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

Actually the MV program was rebuilt by Josh Finney starting in 2017 going 11-1 then 2018 going 8-4 before he left for Winnsboro. Briles came in 2019 going 8-3 then 12-3 on the way out in 2020.

I guess we'll have to disagree.  Had the UIL not decided to screw MV and disqualify 2 star players (who were not there under Finney) they would have advance much deeper.  District committee had already ruled the players eligible.

That is very interesting. So Silsbee didn’t hire him as HC even though he was already there as an assistant and they knew what they’d be getting. Makes one think. Or it should. 

Yes that is very interesting. Was Coach Smith already on Silbee's coaching staff before he got the head job or was he an outsider?

The hiring committee decided to go with an outside applicant instead of hiring within. Hickman wasn't the only coach on staff that applied for the Silsbee job. Offensive Co. (Mackey) also applied for the job. It was my understanding the committee thought it was best for an outside hire so they recommended Smith.

IMO, both Hickman and Mackey were more than qualified to be head coaches at Silsbee.

Smith has done a good job so the committee did good with the hire.

Hire the guy with the best resume, that is the most proven winner.   Period.   Regardless of race.

If that coach happens to be black, then congrats to those in the community that feels that race should be the sole deciding factor in the process.

If it’s Toby, congrats to those that want a home grown Coach that bleeds blue like they do.

If there is a better coach out there that has a better track record of winning games and building programs, then you hire them, regardless of race.

It ain't like we lost to a nobody team. That game in '18 hurt worse than the game in '16.

FYI, Hickman is the lone finalist but still has to be approved by the board. Most likely will be approved but stranger things have happened.

High majority of the time a school board will approve what a supt. recommends.

The Supt. Has definitely divided the community even more with his recommendation...
