Roschon? What would we have done with Roschon if we had an “actual state championship-type coach” when he was playing? That’s seriously what you’re asking?

Roschon’s family moved out of Port Arthur ISD and into PN-GISD when RJ was still playing Pop Warner because Faircloth is one of the best QB coaches in Texas and RJ’s dad knew Faircloth could develop RJ’s talent. I remember that - I went to school with RJ’s older brother after they made the move. If Faircloth hadn’t been at PN-G, Roschon never would have played a down at PN-G.
So what would we have done with Roschon if we had a true, blue, smitty-certified, state championship-caliber head coach? The answer is, not damn thing. The fact that RJ played for PN-G at all is yet another reason we were so lucky to have Faircloth.
You’ve hated Faircloth since the day the man hired on. You didn’t know the first thing about PN-G then, and you still don’t now. Go back to worrying about Nederland ISD’s bonds.

LCM has always paid more than the market demanded.  In all other respects, they’ve always been pretty mediocre (with an outlier season here and there).  Remarkable what he’s come in and done, especially in year one.  Having said all that, he’s home and as LCMalum points out, a lot less craziness with that job.  For the good Lord’s sake, look at what they endured for so long with Crouch.  I don’t think the Steelers even give out that kind of job security…

He’d probably be too hard on the momma’s babies!!

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.

I just wanted to say thanks again for all your hard work, efforts, & dedication to this page. kudos to you @AggiesAreWe🎊🎊🎉🎉🥳🥳😁😁

Lol, it's ingrained in you deep huh? Don't worry, I'm sure God has a segregated place in heaven that's up to your suiting. Hopefully you get to check it out sooner than later?  
On a serious note, the brother-in-law hire is probably the best route for WOS. I highly doubt they have the lure/money to pull MLK Day coaches like Jahmal Fenner, James Williams or Jason Todd away from their programs.  

I have spent some time studying this subject and I can say with 100% certainty, every head football coach at any level, never held a head coaching position before he was selected the first time. 

A lot is always said about kids getting second chances, usually from a team that got beat.  Sports is all about life lessons and sometimes the best life lesson is showing a kid you love them and that they are valued.  Until you’ve walked in their shoes and the coaches, I always find it’s best not to speculate or judge (as with almost everything in life).  But I can’t begin to articulate or explain it like the GOAT so I will leave this right here.
 

Not sure I’m understanding all the talk about Tobys overall HC record. Let’s not forget he took over a horrible 0-10 Shoemaker team, so a good number of those losses was getting that program going in a different direction. I don’t think anywhere he’s been has the same consistent talent that comes through WOS.  Also Some coaches just fit in better in some areas than others. Happens at all levels 

I just don't buy the line that WOS' best athletes will flock to LCM if Toby isn't hired. Sure, WOS kids have transferred to LCM for various reasons for as long as I can remember, but its usually just marginal talent that couldn't cut it at WOS. I've lived in LC most of my life, but have had numerous friends and family members graduate from WOS, and there is WAY too much pride in the WOS football program for it to crumble like a lot of people are predicting if Hickman is hired . FYI I think Toby is the no-brainer choice for the program moving forward.

Maybe their hair.

Mr Reagan, this is pretty simple. You've obviously, stated your dislike of Toby due to what you perceive as failure in the win/loss columns. If you are a resident of the WOS district then make your feeling known in the community. Spend your dime on promoting who you'd like to see in there. If you aren't, then why are you so concerned? You know the community wants Toby, if they are wrong, then, it's on them. If the sup/SB go a different route, then I'm not sure that the other coach could EVER achieve the level of success it would take to appease the constituents. That's just real talk.
I've said all along I think it should go to the most qualified individual. From what I know of those who've applied, Toby is it, hands down, when you apply the standards the district has posted publicly COMBINED with the fact Toby is home grown. He stands alone in either facet. 
If you're an outside fan, get behind the community because I have a feeling it'll be Toby unless something more sinister is involved. And, if your not, pray your right and you have something to look forward to for the next few years. Lol

Coaches fit differently at different places,ask Nick Saban.Toby would be a whole different coach at WOS then that record indicates..

I’m a WOS fan and I fully understand the strong concern for the right fit of the head coach and interest of all applicants. If the WOS supporters had as much interest in applicants when hiring a principal or other administrative positions, WOS would excel in more areas than just football. As someone said, there’s more important things than football.

KOGT has been the only pipeline of local news with weekly visits with the judge, LIT Orange, county and city meeting minutes, police reports, local business promotions, charitable events, etc. Dang, as I’m listing them its becoming more evident that Orange County will hurt without KOGT.
Furthermore, KOGT promoted many school events other than football. They broadcast, baseball, basketball, softball as well. These are programs that attract less attendance but still attracted a radio audience. 
 
It won’t take long after their closing to realize the true impact.

Just so I can sleep better tell me that you, your kinfolk, anybody that looks or smells like you will not be in the selection process. Please, and I thank yewl.

Are you serious...As a retired Coach i would Never apologize to a Parent for not subbing there kid. If anyone i would apologize to would be the player. I truly understand the heartfelt passion about how a parent feels about there baby but the day i have to talk down on my kids teammate because of what i think i know than i need leave the talking alone. Parents....your being recruited as well as your kid and the only part about a parent a Coach can see is character because they dont need you to play. I must admit ive seen almost every kid in this area play at one time or another and if i knew all parents could handle constructive criticism i would be honest but since i know some cant i just keep my 2 cents to myself and keep it moving. No matter what makes of this you as person are wrong for criticizing your sons teammate for personal belief cause it merits no personal gain. At the end of the day Coach is gonna play who he believes is gonna get it done and all your gonna do is drive a wedge in your son and his teammate's and with #2 being the primary ball handler he may not get the touches he wants or deserves because of your emotions. Please as a parent of an athlete...Stop..your really not making it easier on your child...In the words of KP...Carry On...

Could also be that to some degree you’re watching it as a dad more than a coach.  

Confirmed.  And if he was going to Hamshire Fannett and not Duncanville, he would have never seen the court this year.  #levels

Peevy got coach of the year. Now everyone can relax. Instead of worrying about awards let’s go recruit for the coach he needs more players. send the man some money also!😉

Likely something along the lines that led to us having 20 cheerleaders and everyone makes NDNettes. Parents are soft. Kids are soft. If they are not good enough parents complain. Post on Facebook and get the PN rumor mill flowing. Before too long we will have STJFL rules where every kid gets at least 10 plays. 

He clearly crossed the goal line on the play before that too. Refs were awful tonight.  

I’ve never seen a ref throw an unsportsmanlike flag at an injured player laying on the ground. Can’t blame the refs for coming out completely flat in the first quarter though. That’s what ultimately did the Bears in.
