Sounds like it

I don’t see it as about stature so much as a way to judge where things are likely going. If, seven years from winning a state championship, a team hasn’t been back to state, it’s roughly safe to say they aren’t likely to be back to state any time soon. But, I take a more broad approach - Getting to state is nearly as useful an indicator as winning state, and getting at least to the semifinals means you had a team that was capable of getting to state. So if I had a coach getting to semifinals or to state seven years in a row, never winning state, I’d think long and hard before firing him on the hope that a new guy can replicate that success. A coach that can get you that far is one of the best coaches in the state. But, I like the seven year rule because in seven years you have an idea of what is a coach’s “normal” (statistically) outcome.

Agreed 100%. He needs to plant his flag as soon as possible to send out the message that things are full-circle different now. Best way to do that is actually play football. There needs to be a Nederland spring game.
-
Any thoughts on how soon he’ll select DC and OC?
-
Seven year clock starts right now !
-
Seems to me Nederland and PNG might be running very similar offenses now. MCM is about to be a bullfight - power runs and disciplined defense. Going to be mirrors of each other.
-
Congrats on the new coach!

You better believe it. We’re hiring Mr T and Chuck Norris next.

No sport has nearly the aggregate amount of emotion around it like football. When PNg won state in baseball (also, I’m just realizing PNG won state in two sports in a six year stretch - That’s pretty cool) everyone was extremely excited and proud. But it wasn’t even close to the near-religious, transcendent breath of joy that opened up across the entire PNG community when we won in football. Football is king at most schools. If coaches chose their jobs only on lack of pressure, they’d all be fighting for non-football spots.

I haven’t heard as much about the Katy guy, but re: the Desoto coach, the idea of a local guy who was DC at the best team in the state last year sounds too good to be true. Maybe when we learn more about the Katy guy, he’s just as good. If I had a vote, I’d be falling over myself to hire the de Soto guy.

Is that a prediction or an announcement?

Is that based on good info?

NON-DISTRICT OPPONENT 2024-25 THREAD/Post here
Rez replied to AggiesAreWe's topic in High School Football
Awesome -
If it ain’t broke, don’t schedule Klein Oak
-
Now that you mention it, the district list is just in alphabetical order. I didn’t notice that.
-
I’m assuming these are listed in order. Pre-season Klein Oak Beaumont United La Porte District Dayton Huntsville Montgomery Montgomery Lake Creek Nederland New Caney West Fork Splendora Anyone know anything about Klein Oak? I’m slightly sad we don’t get our annual PAM game.
-
I think Neumann started in 1993. In his first seven years, he was 4-3 vs PNG, and it only got worse for PNG from there.
-
And it does seem like things ended up good for Liberty Hill. I don’t know if the UIL was trying to treat them well, but they get to stay in the district closest to them (almost no travel) even though it makes their district have 9 teams, leaving a neighboring district (that isn’t very far) with only 6. And, to top it off, nearly all of LH’s recent competition in region 3 (all of the regional semifinalists except for Richmond Randle) got moved to the other side of the bracket when they moved over.
-
District 11 (currently region 3) should be in either region 1 or region 4 (if in region 4, move district 14 to region 1). And why would Liberty Hill be in district 11 (9 teams) instead of district 10 (six teams, and makes roughly as much geographic sense)? District 4 (currently region 1) should be in region 2. District 8 (png & Ned, currently region 2) should be in region 3. The right solution was under their noses. How do we go from a Houston area school to a Dallas area school? There are two entire districts closer to Dallas that could be in those northern regions. How does Liberty Hill moving into our region bump us to the entire other side of the bracket? Regardless, PNG will be a good team and this alignment makes for some interesting matchups, both in district and in the playoffs.

Ideal 2024-25 Pre-District Schedule for Your Team
Rez replied to PN-G bamatex's topic in High School Football
Those are good points -
To go to the trouble of getting TD on board, only to not hire his recommendation - I’m not saying there would be a riot, but it might be smart to buy stock in a pitchfork company.
