[quote name="coach pops" post="1344402" timestamp="1354204866"] Thanks Bronx Rox. My wife aka The Warden hasn't been nearly as helpful :). She's a edumacator at PN-G. A Ned alum and ex Ned cheerleader. Something is up. She could be more supportive in my endeavors. [b]I suspect she's been turned.[/b] She gets home from work before me and I noticed that thousand yard stare and heard her humming Cherokee one day while she was chopping up a gumbo chicken with a hatchet looking thing. I found a chicken foot out back!! Hoodoo maybe? It's grievous. I suspect this may have something to do with my long drawers being backwards. I will adhere to wearing my long drawers as poll results dictate. I'm studying up on waterboarding. It may not be too late. [/quote] Turned? More like saved. ;) ;D

See? I knew a Dayton fan would be involved here somehow. ;D

In keeping with the theme of this thread, this will be my only post on this issue. An earlier post in this thread mentioned the importance of building a program. I could not agree with this more. A program - as in a system that begins before high school - is absolutely essential to perennial success at the high school level. In the past, this program has not always been in place in the PN-G community. Someone else posted a link to the pngindians.com page that details our success in the playoffs during PN-G's long and impressive history. It does not take much electronic maneuvering to see the all time game results at PN-G, and it does not take much reviewing to determine that our season records over the past two decades have hardly been anything remotely approaching consistently successful. This has been due in large part to the absence of such a program. In years when talent has been abundant at the Reservation, the Indians have done well and gone far. However, unlike Nederland (which, as much as it pains me to admit, is a model program), in years where the talent has been less than optimal, we have suffered - tremendously. Someone in this thread said that they would have never expected PN-G to have such a poor season. If I've counted correctly, Coach Burnett (and don't get me wrong, I have immense respect for the man and his family, and I've said that several times) had at least four seasons with three wins or less in fifteen seasons. There are several more seasons with five wins or less in the same time frame. One of the most important aspects of a consistent program is middle school coaching. Nobody at Nederland underestimates the importance of Jack Lynch and other coaches like him. Unfortunately, in PN-GISD, that quality of coaching was not always available at the lower levels. I'm not going to mention names or give details because these are issues that were buried seasons ago and don't need to be brought back up and aired out on a message board, but there were issues in our middle school programs that have since been corrected thanks to Coach Faircloth, and excellent personnel have been rotated into middle school coaching staffs that have increased in size since he took over our athletic department. And yes, for those wondering, I know what I'm talking about very well. "PN-G bandkid" wasn't always a band kid. But it's not just middle school. Youth leagues are also important to programs that look to create and maintain success. Anyone who believes this step has not been taken need only look at the PNGYFA and talk to the parents there to see the amazing amount of support and guidance this program has received from both Coach Faircloth and the rest of our coaching staff. Another issue that has been continuously raised about the Indians this year is Coach Faircloth's purported inability to adapt to his personnel on the field. Granted, the system he uses did not change much. However, that does not mean that no adjustments were made. I remind all of you that sophomore Kyle Walker was brought up from JV and given a chance as starting quarterback early in the season, but an injury unfortunately hampered his ability to play early in that game. He was later moved to cornerback - a supposedly unheard of defensive adjustment made by the head coach - and not only had success at that position, but even made a few interceptions. I would also remind you that by the end of the season, five sophomores and a freshman had been moved into starting positions to try and salvage something (experience for younger players) out of an already doomed season. I have said in a few posts that I would have liked to see a few adjustments myself. But at the end of the day, I'm a college kid sitting at a computer just like everyone else here. The coaches know their players, their abilities and their system better than anyone else. Coach Faircloth has been very successful elsewhere and even in light of this year, has been very successful at PN-G (his overall record is 28-18; that's a .609 winning average in four seasons, compared to a .590 winning average for Coach Burnett in fifteen seasons that included a state championship run). The problems that plagued this team this year were not due wholly or even in large part to coaching. It simply was not our year. The kids gave their best, and we should be proud of them for that. Our coach is still a very good coach that has earned our support in three very good seasons during which we placed no lower than second in district under his leadership. The future at PN-G is bright and this season is over. It's time to put it to rest and move on.

Regardless of what happened or how it ended, the Indians of 2012 gave it their all. The Indian Nation is proud of them for that. Here's to a bunch of dedicated players and a promising future for Indian football. Scalp 'em.

[quote name="NDN 91 Fan" post="1325319" timestamp="1352515366"] PNG Defense has been weak for the last 4 years.  Do you think its because everyone only learns 1 position and the best athletes do not play both ways.  You can't coach with a 5A mentality with 4A players.  You cant expect to outscore everyone (except for this year) without playing defense. Here's a thought: Instead of switching out defensive coordinators every couple of years how about getting out of the 3 /4 defense. It works great when you have massive D-lineman at the 5A levels but unfortunately we do not have that. You cant put all of the blame on the players when you change nothing on defense. Wake up ! The Honeymoon period is over !! [/quote] Not the last four years. In 2009, we had the best defense in the district and one of the best in the state. That defense held Lumberton to 6 points, Livingston, Nederland, Barbers Hill (the second time), and Crosby to 7 points, a very experienced and highly vaunted Vidor team to 13, a fast Texas City to 16 and a fast Ozen to 20, an explosive, lightening fast Central offense to 22 points, and eventual state finalist Brenham to 27. The following year, the defense started out rough, but got better as the season went on and was good enough to help our offense take us on the deepest playoff run since 1999. It's only been the last two years that the defense has really suffered, and based on the scores so far this year at sub-varsity levels, that may not be the case much longer (hopefully won't).
