How long will Dan Hooks continue to coach?

[BearWolf]

Is there a planned successor? What impact this may have on the WO-S football program if he decides to retire in the near future?

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

???  dont know man.    :-\

[BearWolf]

they have to have a plan in place, after all this is a legendary program

[adminbaberuth]

If Dan would leave soon, probably Cornell would step in. I don't see Coach Hooks leaving anytime soon, he can stay as long as his health takes him.

As far as successor, look for a former Mustang down the road to take over the helm.

[BearWolf]

sounds good   

[BearWolf]

Cornell must be a good one

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

wonder if they would go after Coach Norton?

[BearWolf]

I would go after all the big names and see who bites

[Guest Eagle73]

AS long as health and want too will allow. Is he already retired from teaching and just coaching? That's what several Newton coaches have done.

[BearWolf]

good question

[kicker]

I dont think he (Hooks) has teached in 20 years.

[BearWolf]

wow

[piratefan]

I think they would hire the OC!!!!! ;D

dude, that's not funny  > 8)

There is only one person who could be the next head coach at WOS, and that is Coach T.  He has been there at least since my freshman year in 1982.  He deserves the job.

[Gasilla]

I would love for Coach T to get that job, I'm just not sure how much longer he plans to coach. I DO think that, when that day does come, it is very important that the torch be passed to a Mustang or long time Mustang coach. Someone that understands what Mustang football is all about.

[WO-S 89]

I think Coach T has about 3 years left unless he would take over the head coaching job and then I believe he would stay longer.

[whsalum]

As long as he wants to.He already has the stadium named after him so it will be his call. ;)

[swampdude]

Dan Ray has checked out the lower grades so I am sure he is going to hang around for several more years! ;D  When he does step down, it will be a traumatic experience for the Mustang faithful as well as a sad day for the sportswriters of our area.

P.S. - The zebras might have a little party, though!!!!!

Why would Norton come back? I do not know but I don't think this is a job that he would even consider.  Got a pretty good thing going where he is now.

[BearWolf]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Green and Bold]

Will one of the karma gods please explain to me what was negative about my prior post? ???

[Gasilla]

Uh oh... the phantom "smite", that sucks.

I don't think Norton would come back here. He is having success at a large 4A school and I just can't see him stepping back into 3A, even if it is at WOS.

[BearWolf]

;D

I agree but he would be a great choice if Coach T didn't want it.
