So you actually think coaches would back out of applying because of one player who would have only been there two more years transferred out? If that is the case, Silsbee does not need any of those coaches.

what is loyalty….. not many players stick around no matter the level…..its all about “gettin his”

I have never heard a credible person say a single negative word about Day. Almost everyone I know with insight thinks very highly of him.

I get that United is a great program, but what would make playing basketball for BU more advantageous than playing for Silsbee? A player of Jones' caliber will merit the looks from colleges regardless of where he plays ball.

I wouldn't overreact to this. Silsbee may have 4 or 5 kids that'll go straight to varsity in 27. Assuming they all stick together. They just need to nail it with this new coaching hire and all will be set. Next year might be rough though.

I was on the third row of section 232 in the stadium rooting for WV. I was also very optimistic to see what could be done with WV considering the amount of returning talent on both sides of the ball for WV. Never dreamed they'd run off the coach who finally got some "respeck" on WV's name and replace him with a guy who will have to try and replicate that success with little to no offseason. Good Luck!

I loved my time in Big Sandy, what a great community and unreal complex they built I have a great job at El Campo where my parents (who are almost 80) can get to games with easy access i will always be a wildcat at heart and wish them nothing but success and the best of luck

Lost the series to the athletics. I think that’s 3 in a row. I’m starting to think the RANGERS hitters drank Jobu’s rum. Someone please sacrifice a live chicken to take the curse off of the bats!!!

One of my favorite things each year is the fan bases who hoot and holler to run their current coach off, then when the coach leaves, they end up with someone they are disappointed with. Gonna be a blood bath in WV when they lose in the second round this year with several returning starters on both sides of the ball from last years state finalist team. Also, the coach in Gunter is gone, so this may be the year for WV.......or could've been the year if they had valued continuity over chaos.

I don't like to get involved in any hiring process or campaign for anyone. But if it was up to me, I would promote Ira Brooks to the head coach position and make his son Jacob 1st assistant and be HC in waiting for a few more years till Ira retires. I do realize that neither are certified but I personally would make this exception and would be able to give time for Jacob to get certified. I believe Ira has earned it.

Some fans won't because they are fanatics and don't have logic and reason. It's been a very long time since Silsbee has been down (meaning struggling to make playoffs). Been a historical run for Silsbee these last 20+ years. Next year and year after will be the time to get your licks in on Silsbee. But Silsbee has too much talent in their gyms to be down long. I like you using the word "realistic" because this run has been unrealistic to many many teams. A fan base can definitely get spoiled from these kind of runs. I really think this hire is the key to continue Silsbee's rarified success.

That’s why I have said democrats should never be allowed to be in charge of anything.

Can’t deport them? Hold them till that federal judge can give them due process…LMAO. He’ll be a busy man. Better bring a lunch. [Hidden Content]#

That's my pick. Would have been even if Jones stayed. Now, most definitely.

Meaning go win another one for Silsbee why leave

To be accurate, more Silsbee talent has left to go to Beaumont schools than has left Beaumont to come to Silsbee. But I get what you are saying. I do agree with this making BU a state contender.

Silsbee been stealing talent from Beaumont for years! It’s our turn now lol This move could possibly make BU one of the favorites to win state! However the best coach in SETX is still coaching in the Westend

Trump is Rodney Daingerfield to the Democrat’s Judge Smails & Bushwood Country Club members.

Yep. I lived in some of those neighborhoods close enough to walk to Edison Middle School. They were pretty bad then. Now it's even worse...

I spend lots of time on sabine, but I'm perfectly content to drive through PA without stopping on my way. I did probably 50+ ridealongs with @tvc184 back in the day and didn't see a single neighborhood that I thought i'd want to live in.

Yes, too much activity in the forum. It is much better when no one comments

I'm of the opinion that America has always been great, but no period of time has ever been without its warts and major problems. But as a country the left had us heading downhill quick. I'm not nearly as conservative as a lot of folks on here. I'm a libertarian who votes right because I'll never have a viable candidate. That said, the woke left was out of control. Some things that were very necessary (equal rights, gay rights, etc.) came about years or decades ago, and things improved (as they should have), but then just kept going to the point of absurdity. When "protected" classes went from receiving the rights they deserved to being able to step on other's rights to do whatever they want is when problems started. It's been really nice to see the pushback from people with common sense. There should be no debate that biological men not be allowed to compete in and dominate women's sports. People claim to care about women's rights and then push for trans to be allowed to beat them. That's insanity! When gay pride parades involve men walking around with their genitals out in front of children, who's rights are more important? And there are dozens of more examples. I don't love Trump, in fact I can't stand him. I would've taken literally any decent republican over him. That said, I'm perfectly content with him doing whatever it takes to shore up the border and take as many illegals off the government teat as possible. What Biden (or his handlers) did was treason, and it helped put Trump back in office. And I'm not anti-immigration. At last count I've written letters of recommendation for citizenship for SEVEN different immigrants from Mexico who went through legal channels to get here. I'm not sure how the tariff thing is going to turn out, but if it turns out okay then the left (and their biased news sources) are screwed for the next election and for some time to come. The recent presidential and house/senate results are a rebuke of what the left has become, but the left hasn't learned their lesson and are doing the same thing. Their only chance is that Trump's economy fails, and the media is doing all they can to help stoke that fire.

Have not heard but I tend to not ask about student business.

Retirement destination lol shiiddd

Every horse that ran in the 2025 Kentucky Derby is descendent of Secretariat. No wonder I think he is the best ever. Watch his videos, especially The Belmont. All 19 horses in Saturday's 151st running of the

Seems like a long process. My vote is still for Hancock or do a "go fundme" and get that Westwood coach back in the mix lol.

Perspective is a hell of a thing.

It was brought us cause they were talking expectations at Buna and I said he lead them to state then arguing started. It has nothing to do with coaching other than him knowing the expectations in Buna

Not even close! Funny thing is I don't recall.any dims or anyone for that matter praising biden as the stocks were climbing.. it was about everything else Now praise goes to Conald if we're only in the green for the day lol... Get ready for higher prices coming soon, fuel already on the rise along with everything else... I'm predicting D's get majority in midterms

Well sounds like Day was about as good of a realistic candidate as you were gonna get so no reason to get upset. That is unless there were other candidates that did apply that were willing to take that job that the community would've preferred. However it seems like a safe pick. A coach that was willing to come there knowing the difficulties and with HC experience. Although not the success you'd have like to have seen but he seems to have performed above the average at the schools he's coached at.

No question Hillin could be the guy and be successful. He is a good coach. But I think Clark could be just as good or better. Could also not be good at all. Problem is we don’t know because he hasn’t been a head coach yet. I think he deserves a chance. Yes, because he’s been loyal, but also because he’s a knowledgeable guy and a pretty good coach

Hillin and Clark are both great dudes. I would personally take the coach who has led his team to the playoffs multiple times as a HC over the guy who is a great assistant. just my personal opinion

It can happen anywhere….. (preemptive comment)

@BMTSoulja1 is this in Beaumont?

I love the proximity to saltwater fishing access in Port Arthur. Past that, I can't imagine thinking, "You know, when I retire, I'm heading to Port Arthur...". Lol. Ain't happenin'.

I actually love the location of PA.....I was born and raised here. I love the water and proximity to Houston/Galveston/New Orleans and Austin..... There are just too many things I don't like

He does want it.

Yeah I don’t see anyone on the horizon either that would beat him as well as a liberal. i didn’t vote for him in the last primary…..but it’s better then any liberal nut.

One of a kind.

I am willing to bet that Waterboys is considerably older than you. Also, it's not nice to fool mother nature.

Well, maybe we will steal the last one 😡 By the way, my favorite Buddy Garrity season is NBA season 😉 ☘️

More like, he was terminally undermined from the start and he recognized it immediately.

4 coaches gone, 1 new hire so far

BH 2. CS 1. Final game 1.

Are you saying Clark had opportunities to leave and decided to stay? If so, then I do agree that loyalty should be rewarded. Hearing that some Louisiana influence might come into play for this job though.

Curious, who did you have in mind to be the new AD/HC out of the applicant list? If not out of the list, then who were you wanting? Realistically

I will be fasten and praying for your wife’s complete healing. Thank you for her testimony. She is definitely beating all odds. Aren’t you glad we know a man who can move a mountain, can feed a hundred and forty four thousand with fish and bread. But God!!! 😇

Elgin didn't have a winning season from 2015-2020...Clawson takes over 2021...they bottom out year one 0-10...next year 7-4 in 2022...area playoffs in 2024 gotta give him some credit for turning Elgin around

I agree with that. Coastal counties are insurance challenged, and that includes Chambers. Co. too. I am "high and dry" with good elevation but some insurance companies wont underwrite Chambers Co. at all. We have been able to work around it with other companies, though. I believe highly rated Kin Insurance covers any home in TX. [Hidden Content]

It has truly been a pleasure officiating for Coach Sigler over the years. His professionalism and integrity in the game of high school basketball were evident every time his team stepped on the court. What set him apart was not just his knowledge of the game, but the respect he consistently showed to officials—even in moments where a call was questionable, he never tried to embarrass or demean. He addressed concerns with composure and always maintained the standard of respect. Coach Sigler also went above and beyond by allowing me to come speak to his team on multiple occasions, giving insight on officiating and teaching the do’s and don’ts from a referee’s perspective. That openness to educate and bridge the gap between coaches, players, and officials is a rare and appreciated quality. Wishing Coach Sigler a happy and well-deserved retirement. Your legacy of leadership, character, and respect will continue to influence the game and those who play it for years to come.
