Valid point. Thanks.

Oh ok. How many seasons did WOS have the recent W/L record and playoff shortcomings of recent history no matter the “talent” (always love some good quotations which lead to parentheses)? The points allowed have been record breaking in the wrong direction. I’m sure you have all the insight as to why the job came open. There are others that would differ with your opinion but regardless….this job was coming open sooner than later. The coaching staff does seem talented. However, just like an athlete, all the talent in the world can be there but it has to be focused in the right direction.

Lots of folks calling out the WOS faithful and anyone that was disappointed in the coaching. It is easy now to sit back and call everyone idiots right now when halfway through this regular season the narrative was still holding true. The narrative being that WOS is underperforming. These teams have been very talented but there has been something lacking. True, there is probably always a learning curve but there is also the saying “if it isn’t broke don’t fix it” that can’t be overlooked. The defense went from being stout to Swiss cheese for a few seasons and a few reasons. I for one hope that this season is the new norm and not an outlier. Not necessarily saying State is the norm but back to being a force. I hope the staff is successful for the sake of the themselves, players, school, fans, community and history. I hope Coach Hickman is super successful going forward and that success is with WOS.

I understand that to be consistent you need both my friend

Not certain why most of your posts go to discrediting coaching on every side…insisting it is all the players. I can assure you folks/fans on our side of the fence know the difference in good coaching with athletes and having athletes without coaching. GREAT WIN PNG

A war of nutrition ??? A new take.

They need to make a change and it is HH. I don’t know that any assistant with upside wants the risk that this regime brings with it. Then in the event they do move on from HH, those coaches have risked a lot for one year and probably a season they don’t want to put on their resume.

I know of a school that knew how to stop it……but recent HC/DC at the same school couldn’t stop a tear with a tissue.

I wouldn’t bank on it. I’m sure he will be around for a while. The SPT isn’t concerned about the football program.

I’m sure he had to quit watching last year. To even call this a “defense” is generous. However, this is what the program needed🙄

I don’t think he is going anywhere. The spt wanted something and got it. The SPT can justify the “success” by making the playoffs each year. I wish it weren’t so…

Ummmm kudos to Newton……but the weakness they found was coaching

Won’t happen. There is a new definition of “success” at the helm now.

But it’s still not good football. Might as well just watch a track meet

Fun game?? This is an abomination and not good football on either side.
