I don't think anyone here would argue that the injuns have had better personal the last couple years. And better Coaching without question. The biggest separation was in the trenches., and not so much skill wise imo.... Talent is cyclical, it comes and goes. If Neds new staff lives up to expectations, I see no issue of much more competitive matchups in the future. It's all cyclical ,coaching and talent.....Lets give it some time and see...200 more kids is a plus but by no means the tell all year by year.

Also hearing Broussard is the OC, last years OC took a job in Lumberton.....

The word is a DC has been hired.... Matt Wright from Conroe Oak Ridge.

Has a date been set for Spring Training to begin?

I hear both were told they could stay if they like........Oline coaches. Tough to replace everyone at once, next year may be different....

Looks like things are moving forward. Two Teacher/Coach positions posted on the NISD website.

I realize it's early and Rich hasn't been here long but, any clue as to when he intends to start spring training?

ST is a must this year....He has a whole new system to implement as well as evaluate personnel. As the AD its on him to make sure ALL that play football participate, as much as possible. Football puts buttss in the seats and fills the coffers.

Yes, DeRouen had the title....RT called plays....And I Think it was Celaya who was after the job at TJ, not Neuman.

Actually Owen’s was a DC under RT…. Steve was the OC…. Newman applied for the HC job at TJ when Owen’s left. Marler got the job….I believe Neuman was DC for Owen’s…. Slept since then.

Yes….

Agreed.....Hoping for more of a ball control, pro style offense. And get back to playing good defense.

I'm sure some will leave for other jobs....

Excellent....

Sounds like the offense will be fine...Here's hoping a good DC comes next....

Let's keep this about Nederland football ......

That's good stuff..... and don't forget the coaching staff is undefeated, and 1-0 in post game bar fights.

Just passed by the boardroom and intended to stop for the meeting. 17th street had more Ford Escorts than Philpott.....

True that, maybe change is in order there too.......

Post meeting lunch was at Redbirds...Golf cart parade and post signing party at the Wheelhouse.

Coach Rich's dad was a career teacher, coach and administrator.....

They sure needed an upgrade, good for them.

Uncle Larry did fairly well with Rotten Press Boxes, grass fields, and long lines at the restroom......Not long ago he was begging for new jerseys while other teams had 2 different helmets with several uniform choices, (and colors). Not everyone can afford or is willing to pay for all new. . Ned's problem is not about fluff.....It's LEADERSHIP in the Athletic program. Academics are fine, WIN and they will come,

Exactly................School financial integrity rating of Texas (First) and TEA gave the Injuns a B......Poor old Ned got an A from both.

Hoping so....Time to move forward.
