oldage football

Congrats wos! 4 straight appearances, 2 wins in 4 years. Nothing to hang your head about, time to reload and do it again next year!!

WOS will make another Championsip run in 2018

Offseason starts tomorrow. Wos has been on the hands down best period in SETX football, 2014-2017. 
What a series of accomplishments. Hats off to the Mustangs. 

Are WOS fans on here really complaining about coaching?  I’m sure there are Alabama and New England Patriot fans that know more than their coaches too  

You’ve obviously never been to Newton. 
 
I’m sorry. It was a beach ball right over the plate. I couldn’t help myself. 
Go Eagles. 

fundamentals are taught dailey at WOS -- the only time I have ever seen Wos come out of the dressing room without pads on is picture day -- as soon as the pics are done  they go back inside and put their pads on for practice -- they are full pads on Thursdays - when most people do walk thrus -- They come out on Friday nite in full pads for warm-up - its the little things like that T has installed in them that matters - if you take care of the little things -- BIG things happen

i think he will make his mark

they do a-lot more fold blocking and X-blocks- don't rely on one back - several that can hurt you

let your kids enjoy the moment - months of hard work and focus -- win lose or draw its the experience of a lifetime
 

we usually talk after the game

pretty impressive backer all you do is admit you wrong and get a 3 page discussion - lol

Likewise there are very few HS coaches out there, anywhere that could take a team that lost 18 starters and go undefeated heading into the state championship game.  Of all the great coaching jobs Cornel has done, this year has been so good it’s absolutely ridiculous.   

At first glance of the "I Can Admit I Was Wrong" headline, I thought CardinalBacker's explanation would be...
"Silsbee does NOT suck."
I can admit...I was wrong, too. 
 

I know this day and age what i'm about to say may not be popular - BUT - I just dont feel it's the salaries or the facilities - Now dont get me wrong i coached for over 40 yrs -- and would not begrudge any coach getting a big payday. But more credit needs to be given to the communities and the parents -- Newton has little - Wos has little - but everything is functional -- its the community that supports the kids and the coaches- they believe in the programs and stand behind the people running the programs. both these programs have long teeth like Cuero -- they have been competitive for decades. You throw big salaries out there you get people coming in that dont understand the culture of these places- take their money and have a little success and haul their a--- out of there. People like T and WT just want fair pay for a days work. and for you to be proud of their efforts - not everyone has to agree with every decision but dont try to drag the program down when you dont agree. The majority of the people in these types of communities are just that they lived thru these programs and have an abundance of pride in them

that pic needs to go in your archives along with the story-- outstanding

Say Coach T retires this year or within the next 3-5 years, is there anyone on the current staff that can keep the Stangs tradition of winning alive? Cause if they were to go outside the program for a coach, how long would it take for the program to become just normal, or does that mindset of what it takes to be a Stang just carry over regardless of who's calling the shots. I personally believe an outsider regardless of his pedigree would have a hard time keeping the Stangs on an Elite level. They're going to want to do their own thing, and run their program the way they see fit. I just think WOS would have a big drop off, don't get me wrong they would still field some great teams, but state championship teams I just don't know.

I'll bet that once the new Coach at Barbers Hill is fielding a varsity team made up of kids that have been in his program since junior high, we'll all be singing a different tune.  Kids who have never hit the weight room can't make up for 4-6 years of missed gains in a single off-season.  Same goes for trying to pick up fundamentals after years of neglectful coaching. 
I don't buy the whole "athletes sticking around" because there are too many schools that seem to draw from the same talent pools but get wildly different results.  Kountze has done well in b-ball, just like Silsbee, but do we really want to compare football successes?  Who wants to compare schools like Kirbyville and Newton?  Livingston and Corrigan-Camden? WOS has managed to succeed despite numerous transfers out of the district... even as much as losing multiple starting qbs in 2014. Are you trying to say that WOS had 4 state champion caliber qbs on the roster that fall?  Or is the system the reason for the team's success? 
Coach T could do as well at some other districts, but only after time, and only if the parents and the kids were willing to accept the work that's required.
  It's also fair to point out that some classifications seem to fit better than others.  4A D1 is a totally different animal than 4A D2.  The Stangs would still be VERY successful, but I don't think they'd be making their 4th trip to the SC facing teams like Carthage.... Hypothetically, of course.
