I will never understand why all "disciplined" coaches are run heavy. I will never understand why coaches say "you have to establish the run" to win games. I will never understand why "being a players coach" is somehow paired with being undisciplined. You can be a players coach, be disciplined and throw the dang ball. These three things DO go together. Sick and tired of old school, ground and pound, my way or the highway coaches that think they know it all and invented the dang game.

Have not heard much lately from Bronco land. Was wondering how the transition was going. Are there any new faces?

I'm going to say Dayton makes the biggest jump, rise or improvement. Anybody know who the OC and the DC are? I'm sure the offense will be better and the defense has to improve.

Is East Chambers or WOS the best overall athletic program in SETX? Not talking about athletes, talking about quality of all sports and ability to compete at a very high level.

The beauty of having Turf.

What is the quality of baseball played in Dayton? What are the prospects for the future?

More than one way to skin a cat or a Cougar, Bronco.....

Results?

It has nothing to do with quality of talent, it has to do with quantity. Crosby has more kids, they play one way. The quality of talent is just as good in WOS, just not as many of them.

Stupid for anybody to think that the athletes at WOS couldn't play at Crosby. Speed and athleticism translates to every level. WOS skill kids have those thinks in abundance. Now, what does Westbrook have coming back?

Definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. New approach, new ways, new faces and better results.

I agree 100%. This should not be a short term, shot in the dark hire. I think there needs to be some fresh ideas and a new approach, so an outside hire is probably the way to go. But, with that being said, it needs to be a hire where there is long term commitment and at least the desire to stay until Championships are won. And not just district championships.

All quiet on the Eastern front.

Interesting hire, really good guy and a good coach. Wonder if he is going to run the true Slot-T? They have been more multiple in Bellville lately.

New voice, new vision, different expectations and a commitment to excellence.

If they do go outside (which I think they need to) simply to bring in some newideas and a different way of doing things, then the new coach needs to have the ability to build relationships with the coaches that are already there. An infusion of new concepts, combined with a new approach to similar schemes and a vision for how to accomplish HUGE goals is what is needed.

If you are going to win Championships then discipline is a must. Silsbee has enough talent, size, speed and athletes overall that they should have 22 starters and probably 19 or 20 finishers. No need for a bunch of kids to play both ways and on special teams.

I just hope it's not a retread head coach with a losing record or just above .500 record. If you can't hit a home run with a big time proven winner of a head coach, then go with a passionate, enthusiastic, coordinator that has a huge upside.

Maybe that is a good thing. Potential coaches would like to know what they are getting into, rather than be blind sided by issues that they did not even know existed. Full disclosure can be a good thing, I know of a coach that has applied and information is important.

Are we really trying this again?

I agree with you 100% and I think you are spot on in your analysis of the situation. The one thing you do not hit on, and I think the overriding factor in this thread being pulled, is that it was about SILSBEE. If it had been about any other school, especially a BISD school, there is no way it would have been pulled. Silsbee and WOS are treated with kid gloves. I love this site too and hope the admin doesn't block or ban me, but sometimes the public needs to hear thinks that are uncomfortable for some individuals to hear. And peoples opinions are ok, as long as it doesn't cross the line of slander.

I guess we can agree to disagree on that one. I found in informative and enlightening. We had local people with information none of us were aware of and friends and former co-workers of the recently departed coach with insight that none us "outsiders" can have.

Shame on me, i thought that the Silsbee thread was informative and productive. Somebody must have said something really bad to get it yanked.
