TheTexecutioner Posted April 25 Report Posted April 25 After many years, Buna’s head coaching position is open. Congrats to Coach T on an outstanding career. Who’s the next big name that should be considered for this storied program? Quote

BOSoxfan4life Posted April 28 Report Posted April 28 Curious if Coach Mark Williams would apply for that position Quote

hoops784 Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 I would be shocked if it’s anybody but Kyle. It’s his time. I’m not so sure the other former cougar you mentioned has much interest in leaving where he’s at right now. I also saw Mark Williams mentioned. Would be an amazing fit and would be successful no doubt. But I don’t think Coach Will wants another head gig at this point. He seems to enjoy what he’s doing. Quote

Like you said, he enjoys what hes doing right now. It is going to be interesting to see if hangs around there. I guess that depends on who the next guy is. Quote

I would think Williams would stay around helping if it was Clark too, so probably get a two for one deal with Clark. Quote
Drew Peacock Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 What makes everyone think Clark? I personally don't know anything about the guy, just that he has been there for a while Quote
Waterboys Posted April 30 Report Posted April 30 Just a question? So just being at a school for several years makes the job yours? So no head coaching experience is okay? Quote

Obviously there are more factors than that, depends on how good of a job you did while at the school, have you proven to have the qualities and skills to be the head coach in your tenure there etc.. If you have done those things and could have left to go elsewhere to be a head coach but chose to stay then loyalty should probably be rewarded. Quote
Waterboys Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 So you value loyalty over experience? So going to get head coaching experience and seeing different programs isn’t as good as staying and being the assistant. Quote
HarryDoyle Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 In many cases the experience of learning from a guy who has been successful in that same position is more valuable than going elsewhere just to say you are a head coach. I would say it varies based on the situation though. Quote

Are you saying Clark had opportunities to leave and decided to stay? If so, then I do agree that loyalty should be rewarded. Hearing that some Louisiana influence might come into play for this job though. HarryDoyle 1 Quote
Waterboys Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 Well I would take the guy who has head coaching experience 95% of the time. Quote

HarryDoyle Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 Just now, Waterboys said: Hillin should be the top of the list Kountze and Buna are two totally different programs, with much different expectations. The handling of a certain situation this season could effect his chances too. Quote
Drew Peacock Posted May 1 Report Posted May 1 21 minutes ago, Waterboys said: Hillin should be the top of the list Why should he be top of the list? Quote
Waterboys Posted Thursday at 03:57 PM Report Posted Thursday at 03:57 PM Hillin suspended one of his best players didn’t he? I think Hillin knows the expectations he lead them to state. Quote

I think Hillin knows the expectations he lead them to state. From what I heard, much more than a suspension should have been passed down. And just because he led them to state as a player does not mean he can lead them as a coach (not saying he’s a bad coach, just stating that it is different) The times I have seen them, he big leagues it and sits in the dugout during games. Now behind the scenes, I’m sure he does okay but I wouldn’t know for sure Quote

I think Hillin knows the expectations he lead them to state. Lead them as a player? I remember there being a lot of good players on that team, Baxter and J Clark both really good. Craft, Sheppard and Hillin probably next three best, so saying that he lead them is a stretch. As far as leading them Terrier was at the helm, and K Clark has been learning from him for all this time and have heard he could have left for other jobs at schools that some would even consider better baseball job than Buna.
