Danaher was one of the coaches that didn't want the list released to the media. Therefore I don't agree with the leverage for a raise speculation. IMO he will take the job if offered.

Looks like it should be re-titled to Danaher and Garrett. Word is that Stump will be staying at Westbrook, but can't get it confirmed. Looks like a no brainer.... Danaher is the man.The rest of 20 4A does not want to see this. Second choice would be Faircloth.

I bet you are STUMP! He's not Stump and I think asch(screen name) is Garrett.I got a PM from him. Unless Garrett has two screen names.

Rumor from another board is Vance withdrew his name.

So PNG and Nederland play "SissyBall"! Awww....c'mon man, that's a cheap shot at the fellas that dress out each and every Friday night! I think he's referring to the spread offense if the new coach brings it in.

Amen, I agree

He definitely is a good one, I think we have three guys that we can't go wrong with. But my vote is for Danaher first.

I "speculate" that he would like more money for retirement! Either that, or he would like to go back to LH and say, "this is what PN-G is offering me, can you match that?" Hey Young Coach, do you know how old Vance is? He looks to be about the same age as Danaher. From what I'm seeing and hearing, the top contenders for PNG HC/AD are Garrett, Vance, Danaher. I'm not sure how old Vance is, but I'm guessing early 60's? Same as Danaher....both ready for retirement after they get their best three years of salary. Of course...that's just my "speculation". I could be wrong. I still say the best two candidates for PN-G; somebody that will be there for 15+ years and continue the honor, pride and tradition that the Indians pride themselves upon, are Garrett and Faircloth. To The Young Coach Danaher is not applying at PNG to boost his retirement. I know...because I recruited him for this position. He is currently in an area that has a decreasing population base, and, in my opinion, changing demographics that are not favorable for producing a state champion. He wants a state title before he retires. Period. There's no hidden agenda. And hopefully he can make it happen here. He plans on coaching for at least eight more years. If he is going to coach for 8 more years then I hope he gets it. He would put the program back to a top notch level. The younger coahes there would learn a lot from him. Another thing is if he could get the program back where it needs to be then when he leaves there be a lot of good choices that would want to inherit the job.The "list of candidates would be a good one.

I expected names like Faircloth(Top Notch OC), and maybe Vance (top level 3A Coach), but Danaher surpasses my expectations.

Not opposed to anyone that any coach would bring.

I want a coach that sees if we have the athletes that throwing the ball is best, then do it. If we have the type of athletes to run the ball north to south down your throat then he does that.Whatever it takes to get a W.

We got some fans that want to see us throw and run the spread just because it is different.

Well, if that's the case, it's a good thing the applicant list got released. Now LH will know he is putting his hat in the ring for another job. Just think, if the list had never been released he wouldn't have had a bargaining chip. ;D ;D ;D From what I hear Danaher was the applicant that asked that they try and keep the list from the media. If true then it should say a little about his intentions. As far as Vance and is offense is concerned, PNG has been a run, run, pass, punt offense for so long now, I think alot of people are leary of running even more. I agree you can run to a state title if you are mixing it up and play good defense, but we had that here and it just wasn't getting it. I think we want something a little different. But if they do hire Vance I won't argue with the sucess! Danaher intended to keep it confidential from his athletes. If offered the position, he wanted to break the news to his team, not the local newspaper. His Superintendant was informed of his intentions before he applied. Danaher adapts his offense to the athletes in his program. If talent exists at the QB position he has been know to run a shotgun/spread offense. That's part of the reason his programs have been so successful. Thats all I could ask for is to run what your talent lets you.Let the talent dictate, you can't force the spread if O if you don't have the kids to do it, and same is true for power ground game. I am not hung up like some on throwing because it is different. Just do what works, if its running the ball then go for it and control the clock.

Danaher, wins year in and year out with a similar talent leval as we have. Can't argue with his record. If he could give PNG 8 - 10 years I would think the job is his. What he could teach our younger coaches is priceless also. I don't know much about Vance other than his record.

This sounds more like an outsider's view than someone from PNG. : Insane isn't it.

They are the top three along with Brandon Faircloth.

Ya'll are funny. But, Stump has not applied. It doesn't matter because there are a couple applicants that I would be just as happy with.

The one we need is already on the list, no need to add any.

Do you recall who won district in football this year, A and B teams? : I do. Do you recall who won Freshman, I do.?????????????????/

Danaher is the right man. Been doing it year in year out with similar talent.

making a fool of themselves and a mockery of the due process. I couldn't agree with Old Gabe anymore if I had said it myself. Posts like yours is the reason I logged into this board. PNG's admin USED their due process appealing to the state A.G. Why go through the process? I don't know. If I wanted to know I could pick up the phone right now and find out, but I am trusting the notion that it is in an attempt to get the best coach possible. The only folks making fools and a mockery of themselves are people making statements like yours on this board and the usual malcontents on pngindians.com. They all have one thing in common. When someone asks them to prove how, they have no reply. Love to see yours. PNG's ace in the hole IMHO is a certain Middle School principal/ former DC and a current HS principal/ former varsity coach who are on the committee and are both very sharp cookies. I think we are in good hands. I also plan on telling every board member that I see "good job". If it caused Bob West to have a chapped arse, I'll tell them "great job"! I agree, they obviously had good legal advice. They contested the FOI to the AG, then when the AG ruled against them they immediately released the lists. No law was broken. I am pleased with the job our school board and hiring committee is doing.Now just continue on and close the deal.

Excellent post, someone did a little research.

Sometimes there are reasons other than money. Situations and circumstances change in all communities. I believe PNG's offer will be a little less but not much. ding, ding ding. That is one issue. But not the only one. Are they trying to pressure him to retire? No.
