I agree 110%!!!!!! I am tired of kids getting a free ride and then taking it for granted. If they come and leave early then make them pay it back.....they are getting a pro contract and can afford it. Sounds good to me to, but then you get the comeback of ... How many butts did those kids put in the seats while they were at the particular school, etc? I was about to say the same thing. I bet Florida is glad that Tim Tebow came there regardless if he chooses to stay or go. He helped them win a Natl Championship.

WOW!

I don't believe that anybody can go in and ask to see a teacher's emails, gradebooks or lesson plans. That is simply not true. I hate to take the Young Coach's side here because he seems a little brash and immature, but we sign a release at our school that says that administrators may check to see what websites our computers visit. Our email activity is reviewable, as well, and will be saved for FIVE YEARS. So there you go, ya liar! ;D Yes an administrator can but Joe Blow off the street can't.

Bring back the "fumblerooski"!

All of this pitting one coach against another is silly. You dads/fans crack me up. If the good coach/great coach line is the 2nd round of the playoffs then youre missing out on a lot of great coaches out there.

Most people don't have the choice whether or not their lease is on MLD. The hunter that is going to break the law and shoot a deer while in youth season is the same hunter that will break the law and shoot a doe after doe season or shoot an illegal buck next year or take too many deer and so on. Most people are ethical. I watched a monster ten point last year dance around my feeder during youth season. My son had buck fever and farted around trying to get a perfect shot as well as calming his nerves. Had I been unethical I would have shot it, (inside I was wishing it was regular season). The buck ended up running off and we never saw him again. Outlaws will be outlaws. If my kid's are going to have to shoot a trophy from now on then I welcome the chance to have more time for them to get him. SO I resectfully disagree both of you. Both being bowhunters I do understand where your coming from though.

And I want that too but I've never been asked. Neither have many other people. What I fear is that the new restrictions are going to drastically drive up lease prices. That would be bad. More quality is worth more money. Define quality. Quality to one may not be quality to another. When you grow up maybe you'll see things different. I realize that mama and daddy are probably still paying your lease fees but one day you'll have to pay up. Haha mama and daddy don't pay anything that's why I hunt natl. forest. I know what your sayin though lol Between Jasper and Lufkin? The Angelina around Broadus. I've seen some good deer come out of the Natl forest between Jasper and Zavalla. I've always wanted to hunt it.

I believe you are right and I agree. We need to let the process work. There sure a lot of people that are not from PNG worrying about "how stupid" the masters requirement is. Ya'll really don't have a dog in this fight ( no pun intended towards the Nederland folks ).If it is stupid and we are making a mistake then that should be better for you. You won't have to worry about PNG. I do think that they do want to get the best man. As for now I am trusting the process put in place. I believe we will be just fine. Y'all will.

And I want that too but I've never been asked. Neither have many other people. What I fear is that the new restrictions are going to drastically drive up lease prices. That would be bad. If all deer leases improve the quality of their herds, then this new rule shouldn't affect your price for the lease. It's simply supply and demand. That just seems like a strange argument. I need my deer herd to stay crappy so I don't have to pay more for it. My personal experience has been that the landowner probably charges me less than he could get from someone else, because he knows that our group respects his land and he doesn't want to run us off. Of course, that may be the exception, rather than the rule. Good point. The herd at my lease is pretty dern good though.

Requiring masters is a good thing, that should eliminate a bunch there. Requiring a masters is stupid and ignorant. Are you telling me that if there was a coach/AD without a masters that did a great job at another school as a coach/AD and would be the best fit to come in and get PNG back on track that you think it's a good thing you don't hire him because he doesn't have a masters? Get off your high horse. That's ridiculous! I'm fed up with this kind of talk. Look, a school district has a right, as a representative of the people, to set requirements as they deem important to them at the time. Does a masters make them a better coach? Of course not. But I bet a WHOLE BUNCH of you folks are union members, that perform a craft. Does being a union member make you a better craftsman?...NO it doesn't, regardless of what the union tells you. What that means is that you bought a book, and now you can operate under the union label. I know many very skilled craftsmen, including myself, who have turned down offers to join the union, but they aren't less of a craftsman because of it either. With that being said, there are still companies that will ONLY HIRE UNION CRAFSTMEN...PERIOD. Why? Because it's part of their requirements...PERIOD. So all you guys that are trying to portrait that PNG thinks they are holier than thou, just don't get it. It's not because they think they are better than anyone else, it's just a simple requirement. If you folks can't get past that, I feel sorry for ya. If ya'll were inteligent enought to understand all of this, you might be on a school board yourself...but you're not! Didnt buy my book, earned my book through a five year apprenticeship program. Your analogy makes no sense. Companies who hire Union craftsmen are under contracts that state they will hire union craftsmen and the union will supply those craftsmen to do the work. PNG is writing the contract for this position and can put whatever kind of language and hiring stipulations they want in that contract. Having a masters is like saying you are going to make all inteligent post on this board just because you are a moderator. You already proved that wrong. one point taken away from PNG pround and two points awarded to roughrider...lol LOL its funny how some of you have taken exception to your job being talked about yet have no problem talking about the qualifications of people who work in a field that you know nothing about. I guess if I changed my screen name to "Vince Lombardi" then I would be an expert to talk about the subject bearbryant. No maybe if you were a current or former high school football coach. Well Bear, I hope you get the PNG job. You got your masters? 3 hrs away from it . I wasn't slamming you guys, just having a little laugh. you have no ideal how much any of us know about coaching? That was a very unintelligent remark for someone with a Masters! Which proves my point, obviously having a masters doesnt make you any better at making an intelligent post any more than it would help them be a better coach You're right, I don't have any "IDEAL" how much you know about coaching? LOL I guess you learned about coaching football while in the apprenticeship program.

And what offense is that?

And I want that too but I've never been asked. Neither have many other people. What I fear is that the new restrictions are going to drastically drive up lease prices. That would be bad.

Beautiful post I'm moved as well. LOL

I don't really know the MLD program. How does it differ from Lamps?

Painted a pretty simple picture.

It may be a requirement by PNG but it is not a requirement from the state. I'll say it slow.... The State of Texas does not require a person to posess a masters degree to be an ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. A District can however make that requirement but it is district choice. This is not "what I've been told" this is fact. So yes, (LOL) if you were thinking that it is required across the state to have a masters degree in order to be an AD, then start cooking up your crow because you were wrong. Thank you for correcting me. That still does not change the fact that this is by no means an attempt to try and put PN-G on a pedestal by having a coach with a master's. I don't think taht it is either. Just their choice to do so, and their right as well. They can always back off that requirement.
