Congratulations on a fine accomplishment. Not an easy task to earn a D1 scholarship in football and definitely not an easy task to gain acceptance into Rice University. Both accomplishments are worthy of high praise.
 

Not gripping, just a real big fan of Freedom of Speech. I feel like as long as the statement is not slanderous or liable then we should allow it to be discussed.
As administrators of this site, I understand your position and respect you and your rules. I just like information and disagree with what is news.  

Just curious what the inside scoop was.

I'm hearing they have lost a major contributor on their coaching staff.

Turf fields pay for themselves over time.  Water, mowing, paint, maintenance, etc...That's including a practice field.  Because with a turf field...you don't need a practice field.  Plus the money you spend on man hours doing those necessary jobs.  Plus the fact that turf fields are weather resistant...isn't there more rainfall in this area of the state than anywhere?  Just saying.
Plus the potential for extra money (hosting playoff games).  Silsbee would be an ideal venue due to the size of the school plus location.  I don't know of very many coaches searching the state for a grass field to play a game on.
 
I'm sorry...but it's more about ignorance than anything.  If taxpayers knew the amount of money they would eventually save, every high school would have a turf field.

Michael Allen is a heck of a coach. He knows his stuff, will always be prepared, is great in film study and opponent breakdown, he will have the defense playing aggressive, smart and with reckless abandon. They will be fast to the ball, physical and force numerous turnovers. He is also an amazing motivator and relates very well to the kids. He is a great addition to the staff. Now, we will see who comes on the offensive side to hopefully balance out the run heavy head coach.

If you sleep on Dayton and the new energy Nations is bringing then that will be a HUGE mistake. There is no doubt in my mind that Dayton will be District Championship contender this season.

Very, very, very few teams actually throw more than they run.
Teams that are balanced (50/50) or close to it (60/40 - Run/Pass) are the ones that get accused of playing basketball on grass and being undisciplined. 
And any team that lines up with 4 wides better be throwing to all 4 of them or they are giving away tendencies.

Most people think Silsbee threw the ball more than they ran.  I don't know the numbers but Silsbee ran out of the shotgun with a spread offense.  More running than throwing, just had huge plays on the throwing end due to run success and size, speed mismatches with the receivers.

They don't Throw the ball to four wrs.....
Teams you listed spread the field & play tempo....

I don't think a "disciplined" coach has to be run heavy.  I think disciplined refers to how your team handles itself not how it plays. And of course you can win games without establishing the run but it makes it sure makes it better and more consistent to have both. Now as far as being a players coach and being undisciplined, it may not always be the case but they generally run together.  Generally if a coach is laying down the law more players are upset with him so he isn't considered a players coach. Now some coaches garner enough respect to have well disciplined teams without having to lay down the law. 

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.

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?

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.

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

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 do hope the new Coach whether it be an inside guy or not does take a stronger stand on discipline.  It will be a hard fight but it will be for the better.  I do know in one big game this year there was one stance made and I was glad to see it.  As far as conditioning, I know it could be better but think it looked somewhat worse due to the time our defense stayed on the field and the number of players playing both sides of the ball.  I am interested to see the list when it's released.

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.

Why not? 

I wonder if it's realized that there were/are some possible applicants that was/are here interested in the open position?  Just good for thought...

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.
