Key word there is "employees". Not sure how much protection for applicants. This is almost guaranteed to be political. We want to make sure the board hires the best possible candidate, period. When the announcement is made, people will say show us the list of applicants. And if someone else has been passed over, then we'll see more petitions. I've seen many political signs going up around town, but nothing for school board yet. Hopefully they get it right. But I see no clear cut winner, lose-lose situation. And the ones who will suffer are the kids. It's a shame that I don't have more confidence that the program will continue as we have all come to expect. 112%

Since Newton came up, I hope the new coach will continue playing teams like them and jasper.

Mallet for sure. Hoping DPG can stay and have another record breaker. This kid has the potential to break the single mark.

Amazing day, great family, food, and faith. Merry Christmas

Remind me, where did the new coach come from?

Their o line would hate it

Yes he has been the DC. From @WOSgrad's 2021 preview... COACHING Head Coach: Cornel Thompson Assistant Coaches: Mike Pierce (Defensive Coordinator), Ed Dyer (Offensive Coordinator), Hiawatha Hickman (Defensive Line), Taran Hebert (Defensive Ends), Phillip Mattingly (Wide Receivers), DePauldrick Garrett (Running backs), Russell Bottley (Wide Receivers), Terry Joe Ramsey (Quarterbacks)

Not exactly. Maybe you're still dreaming? ☕

T left and was HC at Palestine before he came back under Hooks. So he did have some experience when he was promoted.

This is it exactly. We are not in need of rebuilding. If we bring in some outsider who has a proven record, I'm all for it. But it can't be an assistant that works for Todd dodge or Reginald samples. I'm thinking know more along the lines of a recent state championship coach looking to move up to a bigger school. Edit I'd be in Arlington all week if I was in charge of hiring the new coach.

[Hidden Content] Ramsey spent 9 years at Warren with a record of 33-55. There's also a Mike pierce listed but I don't know if that's him. I can't remember when he came to WOS.

Hickman included, do any of them have HC experience?

Has nothing to do with the game being called early. I was there. What I saw was not a typical Mustangs team. There was an obvious lack of leadership at the top.

I'm more interested in who's gonna stay.

Should be, pierce too. Although I'm not convinced either could handle the job. See game 1 vs Nederland.

For your consideration, he's coaching in a military town. Never know who's gonna return, or get transferred to another base in mid-season. I think at one point they were ranked last season. His first year there, 0-10. So I can see a turnaround for them

10 hours and 3 pages later, I'm late to the show. First and foremost, on behalf of Mustang fans everywhere. I'd like to thank Coach Thompson for everything he has done for our school and students throughout his career. He's one of a kind, a classic that cant be duplicated. Even drives the same old blue truck. Which reminds me of the first time I met him. After the 86 championship game, there was a crowd of people waiting for the team to arrive behind the school. He was the first one off the bus, but only to tell people to get out the back of old blue. I've been biting my tongue after hearing this for the past 3 seasons. His son has been telling people not to keep their kids at WOS cuz T wouldn't be there much longer. He missed the 1st game against Nederland, and we all know how that turned out. The petition, started by my classmate, who by the way had no bad words about Hooks or T while he was playing. Then the whole Zig ordeal. Oh and did anyone mention, no more Chain Gang. That's like telling PNG no more Indians. Or like telling some of these other schools, "I need more cowbell". Most of us saw what was coming from a mile away. I've been hoping for the best. But when Gales went down, so did alot of hopes and dreams. Now as for the next coach. There should be applicants from all over the state and possibly the nation. Peevey saw what was coming and went north just in time to take advantage of the upcoming power vacuum. I even think BC sought out a championship caliber coach hoping to catch some future fallout. But if there is already someone currently on staff picked as a replacement. I can only think of one or two that would be deemed acceptable in this new state of our program. And no, neither of them are coordinators. My preference is to continue the traditions set by almost 40 years of dominance. This would mean having a coach familiar with the community and the system. Making Toby the obvious choice. That is if he even wants the job and has the qualifications (masters degree for AD.) Dont forget all the alumni that could come with Toby. Names like Locks and Gans. Maybe even an Anderson, Thomas, or Bevil. He could put together a dream team style coaching staff. But as some have said here before, they feel its time for black coach. Race, religion, or sexual orientation should in no way have any bearing on the upcoming hiring process. Best candidate for the position period!!! Now for the community. And by saying that, I mean those of us that still live in the district, pay taxes, and actually get out and vote. Let us not bow to the opinions of those who have left our area. We voted for a bond to build new schools some years ago, and upgraded sports facilities more recently. All of which bear the names of WOS coaching legends. Breedlove field @ Hooks stadium, with Thompson's name on the indoor training facility. We are the Mustangs. Always have been and always will be. The day I wear green and gold on friday is the day I delete my account and ride off into the sunset. "Mustang Nation" is everywhere. From Orange to Ohio, from Cove to Cowboy Church. And all parts in between. I've been 1000 miles from home and ran into people from Texas that never heard of Orange, but knew about WOS Football. I've also been at Chilis watching the Seahawks and told some hurricane chasers about Earl Thomas as a RB. No matter how we want the program to move forward, it will. It's not a decision that will be made by social media analysts such as myself. It will be made by those voted into power, the school board. Not a decision that can be easily made. And if it doesn't work out, there may be more names on the ballot next year.

Next year they'll be LCMs problem in 4a div 1
