We have had solid athletes sprinkled throughout my 6 years at mineral wells, and the previous 3 years before that were extremely talented teams. Mineral Wells should be a playoff team for at least the next 3 years. I am still on the fence about this current 7th grade group, but Mineral Wells is a growing athletic program with 100% support from administration. It also pays extremely well and we have a 4 day school week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of ghost stories about it. It has been featured on a few documentaries as well as the Ghost Hunters show that A&E or Discovery had on at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just stating that over the course of the last thirty plus years there have been a bunch of good coaches go through there and could not stick. Starting with Coach West one of the most respected names in the state who had them going great and got run off because they wanted to "go in a different direction". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the long history of MW football has not been good. The recent history has been up and down. 8-2 (3rd round) followed by 7-3 (1st round) 3-7 (1st round) then the tank 0-9 (HC Change), 3-7 with basically freshmen, this year was 4-6 (I think), maybe 3-7 with pretty much all sophomores. Like I said, if the next guy doesn't make the playoffs in 2023 and 2024, then we might be looking for another guy that quick. This place has the athletes and besides Decatur, a district and area that should be winnable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobbs resigned Wednesday, effective June 30. Mineral Wells officials began an investigation on April 6 after receiving a complaint that he had used vulgar language and struck the players with the stick, which has a Nerf football attached to it and is usually used for drills. Hobbs was placed on administrative leave by the end of the day. Administrators decided to remove Hobbs from his coaching duties, the district said, but keep him on staff in another role because he recently signed a two-year contract. Hobbs decided to resign, the district said. This is Hobbs’ sixth year with the school. “MWISD wants to inform the Mineral Wells community that this conduct is a violation of board policy, the MWISD Employee Handbook, the Educator’s Code of Ethics, and of general coaching and teaching norms,” the district said in a statement. Hobbs did not immediately return a message seeking comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
