How long was Kay at NS?

Reminds me of the Motley Crue song, "Don't go away mad ...."

Yep. Not much time for a new coach to get assistants hired if needed, get up to speed on the players and possibly install a new system.

whoever Vidor hires, they better do it pretty quick. They are running out of offseason. If it is someone who is going to run the same system then its not that big of a problem. But if its someone changing it up then that's more of an issue.

Goes by the name Nolan...

Young team?

To be clear the job has to be posted for 10 days on the school site whether they know who they are going to hire or not. I don’t think there is any requirement to post in other places. Although that is usually a good idea.

Your probably right, my memory isn't as good as it used to be. LCM might have been in 20-4a with Ned,PNG, WOS , etc

They played in the "Northern" 4A district for the first couple of years. Ozen, Lumberton, Silsbee, Jasper and LCM I think. They met Ned in the playoffs I think one of those years and went out in the first round. They moved to the old 20-4a and were playing Ned, PNG, WOS, TJ and Lincoln (I think they were still in 4a then) and I think Ozen had moved to 20-4a as well.

They are in a growing area with a big influx of people. Also, winning is bringing transfers. If jobs pickup in this area, you will see more move ins.

better than staying in 5A.

Football is a team game, there are multiple factors in winning. Especially winning a SC. The coach is only one of the factors and another is a little bit of luck as far as bracket and timing.

Ok, I have an example, Odessa Permian. They won 6 championships over 4 decades, only one coach got 2 (Wilkens). Gary Gaines coached when they won in '89 his fourth year. He left and returned back in 2009, and didn't even get to the third round in any of the seasons '09 - 2012. He went 23-21 during that period. Did he suddenly forget how to coach? I mean he is an "elite " coach by Reagans standards for the first 'chip but then just fell off?? Or was it that the population shifted in that area due to the fall off of jobs in the oil patch?

I think they have some players on the team. If they work hard in the offseason and are coached up they should make some noise next season.

Enough!

Let’s not get personal. You can make your point without attacking someone.

So did I , those 7 top 100 recruits gave up 24 pts and was down at halftime. SOC made adjustments in the second half , and it didn't look like PNG made as many to counter. Too many mistakes in a SC game for PNG. Anyway, I have seen scrappy teams beat teams with more talent plenty of times. PNG and Nederland have beat teams they probably shouldn't have (on paper anyway) and lost to teams they shouldn't have. That's why you play the game. Lets get back on topic this doesn't have anything to do with Vidor really. (My fault as well for getting off topic)

I didn't say that. I said that there are a lot of misses on highly recruited kids and NFL picks. Not all of the time, but their hit percentages are not as high as you would think with the amount of money and time that are spent. If you read some interviews with NFL scouts, most say that the 1st round is a crapshoot and more quality players come in the middle rounds. Same thing for college.

Hey, now !! Lets keep it PG around here! 😁

I just did. I will give you another one, he goes by the GOAT.

And? Colleges miss all the time on so called "5 star or top 100 recruits" . So does the NFL on 1st round picks. Mahomes was a 3 star. Josh Allen was unranked and went to a CC first. Kyler Murray was #1 QB recruit in the nation and look how he turned out. Same for Sam Darnold (#5). The point is the ranking system is subjective and is actually more accurate on the defensive side vs the offensive side. [Hidden Content]

As far as PNG goes, they knew that had a lot of senior talent coming back this season even before Faircloth got run off. There were high expectations even then. We will see what happens this year.

Nederland was in that boat before Neumann showed up, he showed them a different path. Look at Neds record for the 20 years before 1994. And I am not backing Reagan's off the wall theories, they also had some talent come up through the ranks during those years. But you have to know how to use that talent as well.

Yeah, I checked into that, its something that started recently.
