I could have sworn this was an April Fool’s Joke:
…It looks like the new Midlothian Head Football coach may have been found! Now, hold your applause…none other than Lee Wigington from Mexia High School. A 3A coach for a 5A school…
This is nothing against the guy personally, or even the MISD school board personally, but I’m starting to think this is intentional. Secretly, MISD wants two high schools. Many don’t. So why not hire another Class 3A coach (to replace Robby Clark, who resigned after a few controversial incidents and oh, a losing record) to make the jump from Class 5A to an expected 3A when and once (or if) the new high school is built?
Mexia = pronounced Me-hay-uh = isn’t what you consider “powerhouse,” but listen. MISD taxpayers have a $14 million-and-growing football stadium (growing because it’ll cost $35 million when the note is paid off…) Why in the hell do we need another Class 3A coach to lead a 5A high school against the likes of Mansfield, Mansfield Legacy, Timberview, South Grand Prairie, Grand Prairie, Cedar Hill and Duncanville?
Why?
Someone tell me why. Duke Burge, this is all your doing. I blame you. And Jim Mentzel. I expected more out of Mentzel actually. Not even a Class 4A coach? Geez.
I have a right to my opinion because MHS is my alma mater. Hell, why don’t we just schedule non-district opponents Ferris, Hillsboro and Mabank if Class 3A is where we really want to be.
###
My conspiratorial mindset is going to say that with MISD’s above-secret push for a second, third, fourth high school, dropping to Class 3A after (and should) the high school is built is perfect for the new Mexia-ex coach to slide right in…
I’m not buying this guy’s program……………………yet.

A majority of those MISD school board trustees (I should know, I’ve run agaisnt a third of them) aren’t even from Midlothian. They’re DeSoto grads (for the most part.) Why can’t we get a football coach from one of the bigger schools? I know, I know, salary and all…hell, for a $14 million stadium, MISD can afford a damn head coach at the 5A caliber level.

Coach Wiginton, welcome to Midlothian. Like Mexia, we’re hard to pronounce: Mid-lothe-ee-un. As someone who won the school spirit award (ironically, with Sheriff Johnny Brown’s step daughter) my senior year for my pride of the MHS Panthers football team (and other athletics), you’ve got a lot of work to do to convince the 111-square-mile MISD that you can compete against Class 5A’s Joe Pool Lake schools.
Prove us all wrong…
For now, I’m not going to hold my breath.
Relax. Your anger at the hiring of Wiginton is misplaced. You are angry at MISD. Coach Wig will be a pleasant surprise for your program. I think you will see a quick turnaround.
Also, do some homework before taking shots at Mexia not being a powerhouse. We do make the playoffs on an annual basis, winning a state title in 1989. Not a 5A or even a 4A, but still respectable.
How are you feeling about Coach Wiginton and his staff now??? Maybe have a little faith in people before you start bashing what they are capable of. Midlothian hired the right man. He and his staff will always have their team prepared to win.
Wrong answer Todd and Ashley! I have to agree with –(cant reveal my buddies name) on this one,,,,,This Coach Wig as he is known, is a JOKE!!! We have had a sour turn of events since the first game in 2010. My son had a very promising shot at runningback his senior year, however, Coach Dipshit told him in front of me, “I have 5 runningbacks this year, Chances of you playing any will probably not happen. Nothing personal, I just dont have enough time during a game to fit you in” After my son heard these words, he resigned the team. WE TOTALLY SUPPORTED HIM ON HIS DECISION. Oh, and the second game, we were up 35-7 at halftime. Didnt have enough time……..HMMMMMMM! And how this coach got recognized at Cowboys stadium last season…. thats another mystery. I still have the emails from Coach Wig, and Steve Keasler AD from last fall. If anyone would like to read the lame comments from these 2 individuals, I would be more than happy to post them where the community can see how their minds work. I also agree with another comment,,,,, most of the people we have new in Midlothian are Desoto, South Dallas etc escapees. Just trying to stay where the sun shines a little more brighter. But here are the facts.If you dont have alot of money, work for the school, own a car dealership, or a wrecking yard, your son or daughter will more than likely not play very much during the games with these present coaches. Coach wig if you read this,,,,,, IT AINT OVER UNTIL I SAY IT IS OVER!!!
Hey buddy,,,,,What do you say if you and I run for school board and at least get 2 of the crooks out of there? I can think of the first 2……….. JIm Mentzal and Cindy Williams. Didnt she provide alcohol to her daughter and underage friends when they were Jrs or was it Sr year? How interesting, and she has the kahonies(sp?) to sit on our board?
