I saw Toby under achieve big time at Central so be careful what you wish for

I think the new head coach has a little Tiger Twist to it lol.

I am friends with a LOT of teachers at WOS-Elementary and the principal he brought there has been a nightmare to work with. I see several openings in the near future.

I understand the point your making but back then that 61 year old coach had been the backbone of the Mustang program especially the defense on which we’ve hung our hat on for many years. (Decades actually). At that time he was the most deserving and obvious choice even over a young, fiery and energetic coach (but one without any HC experience at the time). It was simply Coach Ts time. Now it’s Tobys time. He’s now the most deserving and obvious choice if he so chooses. I believe the community wants him, the question is does the superintendent want him? For the good of the Mustang dynasty I hope he does.

Could LCM get a few more transfers? Power seems to be shifting that way.

10 hours and 3 pages later, I'm late to the show. First and foremost, on behalf of Mustang fans everywhere. I'd like to thank Coach Thompson for everything he has done for our school and students throughout his career. He's one of a kind, a classic that cant be duplicated. Even drives the same old blue truck. Which reminds me of the first time I met him. After the 86 championship game, there was a crowd of people waiting for the team to arrive behind the school. He was the first one off the bus, but only to tell people to get out the back of old blue. I've been biting my tongue after hearing this for the past 3 seasons. His son has been telling people not to keep their kids at WOS cuz T wouldn't be there much longer. He missed the 1st game against Nederland, and we all know how that turned out. The petition, started by my classmate, who by the way had no bad words about Hooks or T while he was playing. Then the whole Zig ordeal. Oh and did anyone mention, no more Chain Gang. That's like telling PNG no more Indians. Or like telling some of these other schools, "I need more cowbell". Most of us saw what was coming from a mile away. I've been hoping for the best. But when Gales went down, so did alot of hopes and dreams. Now as for the next coach. There should be applicants from all over the state and possibly the nation. Peevey saw what was coming and went north just in time to take advantage of the upcoming power vacuum. I even think BC sought out a championship caliber coach hoping to catch some future fallout. But if there is already someone currently on staff picked as a replacement. I can only think of one or two that would be deemed acceptable in this new state of our program. And no, neither of them are coordinators. My preference is to continue the traditions set by almost 40 years of dominance. This would mean having a coach familiar with the community and the system. Making Toby the obvious choice. That is if he even wants the job and has the qualifications (masters degree for AD.) Dont forget all the alumni that could come with Toby. Names like Locks and Gans. Maybe even an Anderson, Thomas, or Bevil. He could put together a dream team style coaching staff. But as some have said here before, they feel its time for black coach. Race, religion, or sexual orientation should in no way have any bearing on the upcoming hiring process. Best candidate for the position period!!! Now for the community. And by saying that, I mean those of us that still live in the district, pay taxes, and actually get out and vote. Let us not bow to the opinions of those who have left our area. We voted for a bond to build new schools some years ago, and upgraded sports facilities more recently. All of which bear the names of WOS coaching legends. Breedlove field @ Hooks stadium, with Thompson's name on the indoor training facility. We are the Mustangs. Always have been and always will be. The day I wear green and gold on friday is the day I delete my account and ride off into the sunset. "Mustang Nation" is everywhere. From Orange to Ohio, from Cove to Cowboy Church. And all parts in between. I've been 1000 miles from home and ran into people from Texas that never heard of Orange, but knew about WOS Football. I've also been at Chilis watching the Seahawks and told some hurricane chasers about Earl Thomas as a RB. No matter how we want the program to move forward, it will. It's not a decision that will be made by social media analysts such as myself. It will be made by those voted into power, the school board. Not a decision that can be easily made. And if it doesn't work out, there may be more names on the ballot next year.

The community only cares about one thing over there these days. And it ain’t winning.

I’ve spoken with multiple players that support BF. Some have even said their dads didn’t like the coach, but they have no issues with him. Multiple coaches have told me they want him to stay as well. From 1978-1988 PNG didn’t make the playoffs. Burnett missed the playoffs in 1994, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2008. So winning is not a given at PNG.

I know. Good athlete

I too believe that Coach Foreman is happy where he is, however, I could be wrong. I do know this If he gets the job all the shifting of players to LCM will come to a halt, The community absolutely loves Coach Foreman.

Name one player who showed up at LCM from WOS since Peevey got there.

I do but I’m not relying on Wreck_Em432’s cousin’s weed guy anymore for my insider recruiting info.

It takes a special type of coach for this job. Someone who knows how the program operates and can keep the traditions alive. It has to be someone who has been involved with the program that won’t come in and try to change the system that has worked for many many of years. I would like to see this program keep doing what it has been doing and keep everything the same because it works and it works very well.

Foreman’s overall record is 39-46. I think that certainly excludes him from any consideration for this job (like another poster said he’s probably content where he’s at)

Congratulations to Cornell, it was an amazing ride he took us on. To be a major part of the highest percentage winning team in the state of Texas is no small feat Wishing him the best in his retirement. As far as his replacement, don’t think it will be Foreman . If they don’t hire an elite coach then WOS will no longer be an elite program

color will play a factor in this hire.

Glad he is retiring on his own so all the petition signers can relax!!

Peevy got coach of the year. Now everyone can relax. Instead of worrying about awards let’s go recruit for the coach he needs more players. send the man some money also!😉

The superintendent may not know the area but he should have done a lot of extensive research on areas where he is about to work. Before I go visit places, I always do a lot of extensive research on them. Anyway, as a manager of the 2000 4A Division II State Finalist football team for the Mustangs, I congrats to Coach T on his retirement! We need a coach who can carry on the tradition of winning at West Orange-Stark and more importantly a coach preferable have SETX and Texas ties. Someone who knows about the sport very well as well as SETX and the State of Texas and someone who is willing to make the sacrifice to win at all costs! We could care less about race/sexual orientation/socio-economic status! We also need an athletic director who can hire coaches who can perform higher than expected in all sports (not just football)! Anyone agree?

Zac sells is the next one.. doesn’t have the size but he’s gonna be special

I really liked what he said about his wife and family, a great man he will be missed. It seems to me that the hiring process is still opened.

You really can't speak for anyone that is normal OR conservative and especially can't for those that are both. 🙂

I’m not a boomer. Not even close. Probably younger than you but I don’t live with momma. And I’m unsure if I would vote for trump again in a primary just depends on who else runs. Go back and look. I haven’t posted much on this 13 page topic. TDS got you bad but I will say this I wouldn’t put it past Democrats to cheat on a large scale when their willing to snuff life out of the unborn.

The magazine will be unaffected.......

That's why it's hard to get good coaches to come to SETX if they're not from there, even when you combine the HFC and AD positions. Not that money is everything but you can make significantly more of it coaching at some of the multi-ISD schools and not have the administrative headaches of the AD role to deal with. I think PNG may be the only outlier? Says Foreman got a 25% raise to over six figures when he left Central for Shoemaker. He was making about the same as CT was at WOS at the time. Killeen ISD also probably has a more accelerated pay scale than the one at WOS, meaning he's probably gotten bigger raises in 5 years than CT got in 11 years. I know one of the main reasons Flannigan couldn't wait to leave Westbrook is that the guy who replaced him, Coach Riordan, was making close to $50k more than him at Crosby in 2017. I think it would be tough to get a "big name" head coach to take the job because it would mean taking a significant pay cut. [Hidden Content]

Why is this crooked administration flying these illegal immigrants into Florida? A. They are hoping to change the political landscape of Florida from Republican to DEMONcrat. B. They don't want these illegal aliens in their states so they fly them to Florida. C. Both of the above.

Dear demoncrats please stand and place your hand over your hearts and repeat with me - MURDER MORE BABIES MURDER MORE BABIES MURDER MORE BABIES In Demons You Trust, A woman

Only legal citizen of the US should vote. All others should be deported. Why people have a problem seeing that is simply amazing.

10-6 with some lopsided losses and squeeker wins. I think they are a very good team but pump the brakes on being impressive.

He's so happy and treated so well that he applied for the West Brook job last spring. WOS is Foreman's dream job! Not saying he'll get it but, he will most definitely be applying.

Me think you know a lot more than you are saying 🤣

You’re right about the select few fitting in,I believe we’ll know pretty quick how everything is jiving in Mustang land!

Nope

Better job opportunities. It happens. People want to move up the chain of command. They left for head coaching jobs. Please tell me you received your education from somewhere other than PN-GISD? Your grammar, logic, and spelling leave much to be desired and do not scream Honor, Pride, and Tradition.

There hasn’t been one I can think of coming from WOS. Only one I know we had was from Orangefield

Not necessarily. Looks like all the athletes in Orange has been gradually shifting north IH-10. Moreso since Coach Peevey is there.

No doubt LH is a unselfish hard nosed discipline team. Very well coached. Looking forward to watching them this Saturday.

He may not be from Orange but I have heard the very same thing.

It is comical that the same folks that dismissed any election fraud the day after the election are still convinced of Russia collusion by Trump EVEN after all the evidence that has shown otherwise. Troll boy is exhibit A in this line of thought.

How about Edward Dryer? He is longer than other assistant. Mike Pierce is second.

you’re not from Orange, it’s very much in the talk amongst the town.

I don’t think Foreman will even want the job after they passed on him when Hooks retired. He’s now coaching 6a in Killeen and apparently they’re treating him very good over there. Not many coaches would leave a 6a job for a 4a gig…

Faircloth?

I was told Coach Thompson would be retiring after the holidays and that there are only two being considered for the job.

On a hot streak. Solo first last week and tied for 2nd this week. If I hadn’t missed 13 week 2 of the playoffs I’d be in contention 😏
