Something was gained , you and your ilk were called out on your bs, and it ain’t the “program” that u give a Damm about!!!!

Rest assured no lies were told about yall, or your hypocrisy, or idiocy, truth hurts, and the world can do without necrotic contributions such as yours and your ilk

Class has no age , or color, or religion, or educational attainment, or gender, clearly you , and several people on this site had gotten out of line when God was passing that out 🤔 .

Or perhaps it looked like a Willie Ray Smith, or Alex Durley, or an Eddie Robinson or a Todd Bowles defense any one of whom could have been an influence on the head coach and his staff. Every time yall show the disrespect, you betray to the exactly who and what you are, which is good to know!!!!

Amen, couldn't have possibly said it any better

Let it go man, why do yall insist on disrespecting that man? What did he do to yall? It's his team , his players, his coaching staff, his support staff! Nobody else deserves credit for what this team is doing. Would you go to work and put forth that effort for a week, a month, a year? And then have someone get the accolades, or the money, or credit for the work you've done??? Are there any other coaches that you think their accomplishments are due to something they may have learned or picked up from someone else? What individuals doing any kind job do you know, that didn't learn something from someone else, including yourself?? The only coach I see on this site who can't get credit for the positive things that happen during his tenure is Hickman, but let one bad play happen, one loss, one miscue, and it's 1000% his fault, maybe he learned those bad plays from someone too

It is wild , but not surprising, some people are incapable of being objective, even when they grudgingly give the current staff some credit, they still insist on somehow linking it to the past🤔 all the winning from the past was not due to alignments and plays called, it was players going out and executing the plays and outplaying their opponents, coupled with the coaching. 99% of the schools in this area would not have gotten the same results by merely running the same plays or being in the same alignments that WOS used in the past . The past was tremendous, but it’s the past, nobody is trying to or can erase it, but it’s a new era, under different leadership, and whatever success or failures they have is due to them, and only them !!!

Ok, nobody has to like the play calling, but logically and scientifically, what does being scared, brave , what you consider to be a great coach, piss poor coach etc .... have to with a play being successful or not ??? At the end of the day, what really determines the outcome of a game is who has the most points at the end . Sometimes one team completely imposes their will on the other, other it's who's made the most play when it counted the most !!!

Which is the epitome of a " Good Play" is it possible for a play to not work , and still be considered a good play???? I'm just curious

First of all , every comment u make u tell on yourself, Hooks and Thompson didn't invent some play or scheme that never existed, are u giving the person they learned from credit for what THEY DID??? Of course not, but somehow whatever success this man has , it can't be attributed to him, people who have been gone for years should be credited for his success, but any failures, all his, as I said before, You open your mouth, and everybody knows who and what you are, and it's not commendable !!!!

The man has a Masters degree and any idiot would know that if you've met all of the requirements to work as an assistant coach, there's no additional requirements one would have to meet to become a head coach, unless the requirement is to be Nincompoop approved by people who never wanted you to have the job in the first place and will never accept you no matter what. The operative word in your comment is fairness, which these (fill in the blank) clearly are not interested in

Then why care about what happened 10 years ago, or last year??? So the only parts of the past that you care about are the ones that Glorify who you want glorified, but the parts that are not flattering to them should be disregarded?? got ya. Please tell everyone why it was ok for your heroes to change everything about the program they inherited, completely fail with the changes they made, keep making changes until they finally got something to work, but this man can’t be himself, and do things the way he sees fit to do it , he had to try to be someone else??? There is not just ONE way to win and be successful! The man applied for and got the job, clinging to the past or trying to be someone else was not a prerequisite, every profession out there when a person succeeds a successful person they want to make a name for themselves, not be a copycat or a clone of someone else. Just like Hooks and Thompson, Hickman deserves the opportunity to succeed or fail on his own terms doing things the way he sees fit. You know EXACTLY what you are and everyone else who thinks like you and says the same trash are. Neither the school nor the athletic program exists to please you !!

No , yall are triggered, yall been whining for 4 years that yall Superheros are gone and yall didn’t get WHO YALL wanted, with his 48% winning percentage, to lead this program. I know that FACTS hurt y’all’s tiny feelings and dispels yall fantasies, but here’s some facts for yall to cry over. Hooks and Thompson were handed a winning program, that was on the rise , and was absolutely loaded with talent, and there was more than 3 times as many students to choose from to field a team. What did they do with this promising program , RAN IT STRAIGHT IN THE GROUND. Coming off a district championship, with a team that had the greatest Safety to ever play high school football in the Golden Triangle, Lawrence Hardin (a high school All American) at a time when players really had to be great to be named All American, at least 5 athletes on the team that received Division One scholarships, once again at a time when players didn’t have the ability to promote themselves and appear better than they really were. They finished second (I don’t wanna hear about the second place didn’t go to the playoffs, they had the same opportunity to win as TJ and all the other teams had, and they had just beaten the hell outta TJ the year before, with Dodge and Dijon on the team. WOS had a different coach the previous year 🙄. Hooks and Thompson took the team from District Championship, to dead last in four years, and the they still hold the record for the worst single season record in WOS history 3-7 , remember what WOS stood for in 1983 ???? Win One Soon, that’s right y’all’s heroes were abject failures in their first four years and no one in the state of Texas thought they were worth a dam as coaches. More facts, yall denigrate this current staff to no end, but did you know that Hooks and Thompson’s record is IDENTICAL to Hickman’s record after their first 40 regular season games coached 25-15, I already know what you gonna say, Hickman had a losing record in the playoffs, as it currently stands his playoff winning percentage is 50% , you know why you can’t compare his playoff record to Hooks and Thompson after their first 4 years???? Their genius asses never made the playoffs in their first four years ( they had an equal opportunity to do so as all of the teams that did , with a helluva lot more talent than some teams they were losing to. To shut yall asses up , not only was Harold Green , one of the Greatest athletes and running backs to ever suit up for football or Track in this area, but every junior and senior on that 85 team was in the program in 83, so tell everyone why them two geniuses couldn’t figure out how to win more than 3 games with 3 times as much talent as there is currently in the program??? And guess what, Alex Durley, one of the greatest coaches in Texas high school history , took a Brand New school, and somehow was able to bring everyone together and won a State Championship, hmmm , I wonder how he was able to do that???? .You know what the difference is between now and then, Hooks and Thompson were given time and grace to figure it out, to learn and to grow, and they ended up doing great things, but yall BIASED, myopic asses, and most likely some other things also, feel as though this current staff is undeserving of the same opportunity and grace, to this point in their respective careers (their first four years) Hickman had had way more success, and before you open your mouth, everybody today is playing by the exact same rules, Hickman has no control over how many teams go to the playoffs or who is in the district or the region, just as Hooks and Thompson did!!! But go ahead and tell everyone how infallible Thompson was , tells us how it wasn’t Thompson’s fault when they BLEW an 18 point halftime lead, in a state championship game, how that “ great “ coach let that happen and in 2017 , while playing a team that literally had not thrown the ball 40 times in 15 games combined , but that team knew they didn’t stand a snowball chance in hell of winning that game without throwing , why didn’t this GREAT GURU have the team prepared for Pleasant Grove to throw the ball, every body in the stands was screaming of the first play of the game “ they’re going to throw the ball , be ready for the pass” not only were they not ready for that first pass, they got burned by that same play, for big plays at crucial times, at least 5 times!!! So please shut up about the current coaching staff!!!! EDITED FOR LANGUAGE

Inside connections ??? All of the men that yall worshiped are gone, and yall clearly can't stand or believe in anyone who's currently on this coaching staff, I wonder who ( that gives a Darn about these kids or the school) would be telling the HATERS on this site anything about the program???? Universities are still awarding kinesiology degrees everyday, why don't you go and get u one and you can prove to world what a genius coach you are. Yall say the most infantile, ridiculous things, going " back" to the 50 is why " they're better " in your feeble opinion??? Schemes don't win games, players DO, yall try to make it seem as if Hooks and Thompson came up with some genius Schemes and that's why they won, if they had taken their asses to BC , OF, LCM, Vidor , Lumberton, HF, HJ , and ran the exact same plays, on offense and defense, ran the mile, full pads in practice, on Sundays, and all the other Bull yall talk about, they wouldn't have won a thing, and yall know it. So please spare everyone the HERO COACH worship , they won primarily because of great players, combined with the coaching.

Who what you expect, who owes you anything, you’re supposed to guaranteed to have something to brag about. What is your positive contribution???? Not thing
