Offense should be Nguyen. 

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. 

True!  Good head coaches have good assistants.  Bad head coaches have not so good assistants.  That's the state Ned is in now.  Time to bring in fresh blood!

Let us see how the new staff does. The new AD/HC has many years, so we will see how his program goes. I and most people that post hope he does well
I do know if I were coming in, seeing how bad the program has become under Barrow’s leadership, I would clean house

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.

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. 

If it ain’t broke, don’t schedule Klein Oak

Hopefully he will hire a very good staff and start getting the Bulldogs back to n track. I know when I visited with Neumann shortly after he got the job, he was extremely excited on how hard the kids worked. Is course Neumann had some very good assistants like Spell and Pate 
Hire good people, sell the program and the players will work
Best wishes to the new staff

I understand that Barrow called him and warned it about that.  He said he knows it from first hand experience!  (Grin)

Seven year clock starts right now !

Seven year clock starts right now !

Hope that coach Rich can turn things around at Nederland. The only things I have heard about him is that he played for Dodge and a Nederland board member and he played together  I don’t know how the guy from DeSoto would have been, but very thankful they didn’t pick guy from Lumberton I have not heard anything good about him ever
Anyway good luck to Coach Rich

I heard as long as your over .500 against PN-g you can get extensions on the 7 years.

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. 

Working for a Joseph to having to beat a Joseph gotta love it..

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.

Funny you mention that, they've always been weak one time a group of my friends from church beat their starters. But that's been an accepted fact and football reigns king here. But still a true story a church league of guys under 6' won 

my opinion,only an opinion,the coach doesnt matter if the players and community does not buy into the program..

It should be the DC from Desoto , but they will mess this up 

Well, they’ll have to actually travel, is what I mean, probably won’t get their Dallas area refs, and probably will have a smaller crowd than they get at At&T, facing a not-at-all smaller PNG crowd. 

5ad2 makes no sense.
