How much was WO-S offering their teachers to announce their retirement?
[/quote]10% of their annual salary. PLUS..... The real kicker is they were offering $100 a day for sick-days not used.  Coach Hooks probably has 200-300 of those lying around!   That offer expired today.

HOLY COW!!!! I wish my district would come close to offering ANY of that for me to leave....( We are being offered nothing and get nothing for our sick days....[b]At this point I have no incentive not to miss the majority of the remaining school days.)[/b]

How about this for incentive - if you're not sick, the right thing to do is report to work.

Congrats to Coach Hooks.  You have paid your dues and have served WOS and the entire area proud.  I sincerely hope you enjoy your retirement and spending time with your family.  You've earned it!  Many a young man have grown into fine citizens under your watch and we thank you for your guidance.  You were more than just a football coach.  You were/are  a life leader.  After losing Coach Barbay this past year and now with you retiring, this area will definitely feel the loss of two true giants this next football season. It just won't be the same.

Why? They are technically part of my pay. You going to give benefits back to your employer? According to the state, they are personal days.

Toby Foreman.. Give the hometown boy a shot!! Look what he has done with the Track Program..
I'm sure there are a few guys on staff that they dont need to go beggin outsiders.
Congrats to Coach Hooks on a legendary career!

I agree, but if it came down to accepting apps I dont think there would need to be any "beggin."

Fridays just wont be the same... :'(

All of us can only dream of having a career in our fields that measured up to what hooks had. Congrats. It was a pleasure getting to spend time with a legend.

I can say this, Toby is unlike many others in the fact kids relate to him and they trust him. He knows exactly what to say and when. If chosen, WO-s found their next coach for life.

I meant it as a compliment.  Is there some history that makes my comment bashing the coach?  I thought Hooks was great in mentoring the WOS students and bringing out the best in the community - recruiting, leadership.  Now can you explain your problem, if you want to do it offline - I'd just like to know.

High school coaches don't recruit.  So for you to come here and say that he was a great recruiter tries to taint his legacy by implying some sort of wrong doing. 

You know what you were doing.  Don't insult me by trying to claim that was meant as a compliment.

Whoa, ok a little sensitive are we.  I have nothing but respect for Coach Hooks.  He's a proven winner and everyone knows that.  Of course high school coaches can't actually recruit because of the school district boundries.

Nope just tired of hearing the same baseless allegation being thrown at a great coach and even better man for about the last 20 years.

Successful coaches will do what they need to do to win.  Who cares if other teams whine about technicalities or so called "improprieties".  Thats the oldest show in town.  I know several 20-4A teams that would love to trade places and have the recognition for winning and having the state titles Coach Hooks has won.  As a coach, as a person, hats off to you Coach Hooks.
