Silsbee's Joe Sigler to retire..... Silsbee is open

[AggiesAreWe]

I don't like to get involved in any hiring process or campaign for anyone. But if it was up to me, I would promote Ira Brooks to the head coach position and make his son Jacob 1st assistant and be HC in waiting for a few more years till Ira retires.

I do realize that neither are certified but I personally would make this exception and would be able to give time for Jacob to get certified.

I believe Ira has earned it.

Does he want it? If so I don’t disagree with you on that scenario at all.

Regardless who gets the job hard to follow behind a legendary hall of fame coach… 

[Tigers94]

I think I'm pulling for Hancock. He's got a good resume and ties to the area.

First year is going to be kind of rough for whoever gets the job, but it won't last. Hopefully Tiger fans won't overreact to how next season is likely to play out and show a little patience.

Hancock would be good.      Might have been mentioned before but what about Travis Williams?

[noah98]

Ira gets my vote

[Excoach1970]

Is he certified teacher? I know back in the day he was not. 

[BADSANTA]

I would give to Ira as well. He has been on the Tigers bench for well over 25 years. He was sitting next to John Bures when I was in school. I've been a supporter of both Coach Brook's for some years now.

I stated that in my post above.

But I think you knew that already. 😉

Tremaine Hancock didn't apply.

Travis Williams did apply.

A little bit.

Took Silsbee to the state tournament in 2008 and 2010. Regional tourneys in 2005, 2007, 2009.

Sounds like Ira, although he seems to have mellowed out a bit these past few years.

Ira was nothing like Travis

That is putting it lightly. 😁

Ira Brooks has earned it.   Bad optics if they don’t give it to him.

Not necessarily. He is not certified and Silsbee has always required their head coaches to be certified teachers.

Optics has nothing to do with it.

[Tigers94]

So who beside Williams has applied?

Since Hancock hasn't gone for it, I guess I'm hoping Williams gets it now.

I'm hearing Jacob Brooks will be the new Silsbee Basketball coach. I hope so..! 🤗

A brooks makes the most sense for the team. if they can set a plan in place for him to get his certification they might be willing to make an exception to hire him.

[AggiesAreWe]

I simply can't see Silsbee promoting Jacob over Ira at this point unless that's Ira wish. Both have interviewed.

I can see them promoting Ira to head coach for the next 3-4 years then handing the reigns over to Jacob.

@AggiesAreWe do they both have their degrees? If so then I wouldn't see the big deal as long as they get enrolled in a certification program.

It's my understanding that both have a degree.

Silsbee has always required all their head coaches to be certified teachers.
