Mr. Thornton Melon

Someone just north of wos must ve seen the future with his remarkable timing of taking a new job (going 4 rounds deep)then neighboring school HC retires.
Pure genius.
 

Dang it Archie!

Bingo... 

If he loses more than 2 regular season games, it will only be a 1-2 year thing.
Lord have mercy, I hope this wasn't his motivation. 
 
WOS will now begin to fade back into a typical local program, and not a state power. The door is open for someone else to grab the mantle and run for SETX. 

Im with u on that!! I think they can win district.but playoffs are a whole lot different.and it brings me back to the Nederland game this yr.they were all confused.in the playoffs u have to adjust and be playing ur best ball.i think hick is a great guy. But,bringing this team to the next level I really don't know.he has never been a head coach or been put in tough coaching situations.and with the supe on his side lol, reminds me of my Dallas cowboys.

I thought you wanted Toby? 

The problem most Mustangs have is the way the hiring process went. Everyone knew Hickman was the predetermined choice and that nobody else had a chance. Including the other coaches on staff that have been there for longer. The experience factor may not be too much for Hickman to overcome. He has been here for 6 years and likely learned more under CT than he did as Silsbee DC. 
112% committed to whoever the new coach is. Nothing is set in stone. But the agenda for Monday's board meeting will make it official. There's a chance for citizens to speak, and I believe some will have much to say on this issue.
Another thought... with all the racism claims being made recently. Perhaps CT said, "here you go, I'm out, have fun". The only thing against that is the man has so much pride in what he and others have built here. I can't see him handing over the keys to the bus knowing it's heading for a collision.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
 
I thought out hire last year was questionable… thanks for taking the heat off of us!
 
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!

Wouldn’t surprise me any of Toby never applies again. The first time he didn’t get picked was understandable, but this one is different. 

I can’t wait to see the list of applicants.  Until then it’s all just speculation.
 
But a job opening like WO-S, you would think there was some problem guys with head coaching experience and probably some pretty good records that got passed up.  Will be interesting to see!
 
The Super better hopes this works out, or he will be looking for a job in 2 years.   He’s already alienated half of the community with this hire.  Probably more than that.

I was about to type the same thing.  Great post, better screen name.  

You're being nice with that prediction. I'll say Tigers 105-37

Your screen name brings back some good memories. Good one .

Alvarez would kick arse in Jasper

You're being nice with that prediction. I'll say Tigers 105-37

Hire the guy with the best resume, that is the most proven winner.   Period.   Regardless of race.
If that coach happens to be black, then congrats to those in the community that feels that race should be the sole deciding factor in the process.
If it’s Toby, congrats to those that want a home grown Coach that bleeds blue like they do.
If there is a better coach out there that has a better track record of winning games and building programs, then you hire them, regardless of race.
 

Nothing bad going on here,why lock it?Just don’t click on it!!!

AMEN Curtis was the man

We are definitely living in the misinformation age

Have you been to a GCM game?  That offense hasn't rolled in 6 years lol. 

It would be hard not to pick him if he were in the running. I just couldn't see passing on the opportunity to get a great coach like that

I heard that the  pick is Coach Hickman. If so congrats to him and he has my support. Mustang 4 life! 

Nah, been here over 10 years now. I’m well abreast of your previous comments on the football and political forums which is why I know although your comment was sarcastic the place it came from wasn’t. 
 
I remember the same thing being said about Desoto’s administration/community when they wanted Peterson out to bring back Mathis. Are they really “woke”, as you repeated from Fox, or are times different than they were 20 years ago and more of the community feels like they should have a voice? Not that one way or the other is right but the overwhelming majority of minority schools also have minority coaches. Maybe those petitioners want a coach who more closely identifies with a larger amount of the kids he’s coaching? 
 
You’re saying the quiet part out loud with the “once proud program” comment. If I was a Bridge City fan the last thing I would be proud about is the football program, yet you comment on a program that would smoke y’all with their jv🙄

We wouldn't know if WO-S made a bad hire until they got to the playoffs because the district isn't that competitive  . The Stangs could probably win district without a coach

Jack Alvarez would be a interesting candidate.
