This is just an unfortunate situation all around. When I was in JH, we were made to run 1.5 miles down a country road near the middle school once a week. It wasn't optional. Some kids were conditioned for it, some weren't. It wasn't uncommon to encounter dogs and all other types of things on these runs, but we rolled with it because we were kids and did what we were told. Had a kid passed out or had a run in with one of the dogs, could've been a similar situation to what we are seeing here, but it all worked out. It was the 90s so our parents probably would've just rolled with it since it was athletics, and we were supposed to be working out.

Assuming this guy is kin to the QB Babin. Curious how that plays out within the situation.

I've got to think other coaches in that district will not take kindly to a move with that type of impact. I agree with you, we will see.

I get that United is a great program, but what would make playing basketball for BU more advantageous than playing for Silsbee? A player of Jones' caliber will merit the looks from colleges regardless of where he plays ball.

I was on the third row of section 232 in the stadium rooting for WV. I was also very optimistic to see what could be done with WV considering the amount of returning talent on both sides of the ball for WV. Never dreamed they'd run off the coach who finally got some "respeck" on WV's name and replace him with a guy who will have to try and replicate that success with little to no offseason. Good Luck!

Me too. Never heard a bad word spoken about him and he seems to be very successful when working with few resources.

Perspective is a hell of a thing.

I'm not so sure PC is the peach you may think it is.

As often as Morrison has applied for other jobs, I can't believe no one has hired him yet. I know he was on the applicant list for another job in the Houston area a couple of years ago. Seems like a jam up coach and has done a great job at Diboll.

Who is this?

One of my favorite things each year is the fan bases who hoot and holler to run their current coach off, then when the coach leaves, they end up with someone they are disappointed with. Gonna be a blood bath in WV when they lose in the second round this year with several returning starters on both sides of the ball from last years state finalist team. Also, the coach in Gunter is gone, so this may be the year for WV.......or could've been the year if they had valued continuity over chaos.

The reality is the guy is very experienced at being as successful as possible at talent poor and money poor districts. According to some of the things I've read on Colmesneil, it sounds like he is the perfect man for this job.

There's one thing that's been toppling great leaders for many years. This particular thing is undefeated in that regard.....

I was joking with my "listen to the OC comment". Based off the WV posters in this thread it would seem they think they lost to Gunter because last year's HC didn't listen to the OC and open the offense up. I ain't from WV and do not think they improved their situation with this hire.

Not sure what to think of this hire. I know Elgin has been fairly successful under Clawson, but honestly it feels a bit underwhelming for a state finalist program returning a bunch for another run. Could be wrong though. One thing is for certain, he better listen to the OC and throw the ball enough or he won't be for long in the 'Ville!

If Diboll was your guy, and WV is wanting to throw it more......sheesh. I hear he is on the top of the list for the Coldspring job.

Any idea on interview candidates?

Any movement on this one?

I'd love to see Joubert get this one.

This is quite possibly the most ignorant comment I have ever seen on this message board, and I have been on here for a number of years.

Sensing your sarcasm, but there are lots of coaches with pedigree looking for their shot at a team with potential to make a long run. Neece in Anahuac has quite the pedigree, I am certain there are coordinators from championship programs that would jump all over this one. Woodville has an opportunity to go out and hire a guy they might not have had the chance to even talk to 5 years ago, or 5 years from now. Let's just hope they don't screw it up. And let's hope the rumor about the QB leaving isn't true.

What several returners coming back from a State Finalist ball team, I'd assume they will be aiming pretty high with this search. The expectations have to be through the roof in WV and would necessitate hiring a coach with some sort of pedigree. Also, getting him in asap to start thing rolling should be top priority.

I'm hearing you want the job but may not make the cut. Hence the saltiness.

Man, looks like we got the OC from Woodville on here. Either that or a bleacher creature who thinks he knows what was happening on the sidelines. I appreciate your passion, but Gunter could've given WV their two best players and still got that behind strummed. Gunter is a whole different animal.

Interesting move for Robinson. Is this solely about getting closer to family? Crawford would seem like a step backward after a SC appearance.
