No disrespect but how do yall know he is a good one. He has never led a program before. Its going to take him some time, but he has DEFINITELY proven his offensive ability at Permian. Also, Allman, HC of Permian, has stated that he will be there for Faircloth if he has any question and that he trained Faircloth for an HC position. PNG will be alright.....!

I think PNG will DEFINITELY move up in the rankings, but too soon to tell if they will be in the top! Just my opinion!

I agree, I think next year will be a learning curve for PNG, but look out...after that, PNG will be hard to stop! As Coop says, I've watched video and Faircloth's offenses LOVE stingy defenses...he loves to rip 'em apart at the seams! I'm looking forward to Coach Faircloth being here and continuing the RICH tradition of PNG football! PNG............Honor............Pride............Tradition!

Yep! Coach Faircloth is the REAL deal! You will see a NEW PNG this year! Honor....Pride......Tradition...."Priceless"

I agree. 31 is young and with his credibility, would be nice if he was here a loooooonnnnnngggg time!

Ur absolutely right! Man, I have a feelin that old time "spirit" when EVERYONE was hoarse on Saturday morning will be back at The Reservation this year! Man, how long to week 0?

I agree, bring back BONZAI!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Been hearin a lot of talk last night and today that PNG should have an early "FIRE IT UP" Pep Rally with the band, Cheerleaders, Indianettes, Indian Spirit, and ALL the young men that will be representing the Indians in the fall, to welcome Coach Faircloth and his family to PNG. I thing it would be GREAT for all of us thousands of fans that bleed "purple" to come out, fill up our new Reservation and give Coach Faircloth the true meaning of HONOR>>>>PRIDE>>>>TRADITION ! What do you NDN fans think about this?

Article on Faircloth from The Odessa American: [Hidden Content]

"First of all, it's extremely humbling to be associated with a program of such rich tradition as Port Neches-Groves," Faircloth said late Friday night. "I am ready to go to work immediately and get this thing going." "I think PN-G is very similar to all those schools. They all have great communities, high expectations, great academics and a wonderful, supportive fan base," he said. "When you put those things together that is a great formula for success." Faircloth said he ran a multi-formation, multi-personnel offense at Permian and would implement the same system at PN-G. "We will take what the defense gives us and we will take advantage of our intelligent players," he said. "We want to put our kids in great situations where we can be successful." Faircloth said he stressed his views on football and education during his interview. He said the hardest part about the interview was getting "my heart across" to the interview committee. "You want them to see your heart and how it's related to those kids, the program and the community," he said. "I think the experiences I have been through at Westlake, Highland Park and Odessa has prepared me for this." Faircloth IS the REAL deal.........I like this guy and the way he thinks...."Mojeaux" !

So, does "Mojo" become "Mojeaux" now? Just had to throw that one in there. I'm really glad PNG got Faircloth for a headcoach....I think he will take our NDN's to a higher plane this year. I just want to throw kudos to some of the other teams in our district....even though I've been bashed by Lumberton fans, I feel they will be strong again this year, as well as Central, Livingston, and Nederland. I NEVER count out Vidor and really, sincerely, hope they make it to the playoffs this year....they've worked hard over there. Good luck to LCM and their new coach (whoever that will be), I really like LCM. And Ozen, good luck to you fellas as well. And, even though they are not in our district anymore, Dayton is ALWAYS the real deal and I've grown to really like Dayton alot ( must be the purple). To me, WE have the BEST 4a district in the state and I hope and pray that SOMEONE from our district goes all the way to state this year. Best of luck to ALL the teams and ALL the fans!

Learning a complex offensive scheme will be more of a challenge than worrying about the talent. As far as Mid County did you attend the PNG - Nederland Freshman game this past season? ;D I was there, Nederland had like 300 yards of penalties, the best team don't always win, that was the case that night. The Nederland freshman class was the most talented group of freshman I saw play last year. Nederland had 5 sophs starting on varsity last year, they have some of their most talent laden classes coming through since Neumann has been there. The CO group hasn't lost in 3 years... we'll just play the games and find out. I believe the PN-G freshman B team played Nederland B three times.... for 3 wins. The future's looking bright for the Indians. ;D I agree, the future is looking VERY BRIGHT for the PNG Indians! HONOR....PRIDE.....TRADITION..........."PRICELESS!"

I'll still be around. And I am very happy for Coach Faircloth. He is a good coach. Garrett knows that God is in control of his life and His plans for him are much greater than he could ever imagine. Evidently, he still has some more lives to touch in Duncanville. That is what coaching is all about, not the X's and O's. Our life on Earth is very short compared to the time spent in eternity. The measure of a great man is not what he does while on this planet, but what he leaves behind. All great coaches, like Garrett, influence young people and old alike on a daily basis. That is their calling. Anyway, I will keep up with the Indians, since they seem to be part of my family now and I wish them the best of luck in the spring learning the new offense and defense. Honor, Pride, Tradition!!! Scalp 'em Indians!!! Excellent Post! You are so right....God is in charge and we need to ALWAYS seek HIS guidance and surrender to HIS will while we are here. From what I've read and heard, Garrett is a good man and I'm sure God has a plan for him. Young Coach let him know he put forth a valiant effort, and yes, he IS part of the PNG family! Scalp 'em, NDN's, Scalp 'em!

WORM............ Go figure.....

Coach Faircloth will be in Dallas this weekend at the 2009 Nike Coach of the Year Clinic. His topic will be, "Game Planning 3rd Down - Offense". I'm liking our new Head Chief more and more! 9:20 – 10:30 Brandon Faircloth (Odessa Permian High School) “Game Planning 3rd Down – Offense†[Hidden Content](F(MAhqXvoIrIEk9ZoewcI7Zh8C6VIVFhmqWWKi3gDKAxKF580x-9_00TmQnVjiKV8SOkBKhW-Fy0ut1FrF0yz2LV1Z94opSyXNrjbnGJfGML1q7RJf6zaDEVq2ln7-KARuYtET8jYK6Ny1zObkBv1L0IKQWjG4ZurtjtCN3NWlhrU1))/c-48-.aspx

Some comments from the Permian Panther board. Coach Faircloth is going to be GOOD for PNG! [Hidden Content]

I agree! Talked to some guys from Permian. They said Faircloft is the "real deal" and he will take PNG back to the playoffs. Said they will definitely miss him, but its important that he continue his career. Faircloft wanted to come to PNG and the program we have. They said he had a LOT of respect for PNG and their fans. Way to go PNG! Look forward to a very motivational and enthusiastic young coach! Doesn't it feel good tonight to slap the people back in the face who have been doing it to us for about a month now? I love the hire and I love how our board did what they felt they needed to do to get it done. If you don't like it and aren't from PN-G, move on! I totally agree, OlGAbe.....A lot of these folks have been really down on PNG and now, the RESERVATION has a new chief and things are lookin up! You know, I was thinking, "FAIRCLOTH", kinda sounds like an Indian name, huh? Way to go PNG in the hiring process...now, we have a LOT to look forward to!
