No. But -- Has an excellent chance of becoming one!

This was told to me by a mother of one the returning players. Have to tread lightly with this one. Not sure how well known this one is. Heck may not be a secret at all. Look, the jobs not open yet. And if this rumor is true, and not well known, we don't want it to be thwarted by those that would be opposed to it. At this point, I'm not sure if this is a wish or actual contact has been made. I'll see what more I can find out.

I'll somewhat disagree. Now, looking at how bad Nederland has become I can see your Title statement. But, if Ned had PNG's staff, sure no Title in one or two years. But what about the third or fourth year? When Joseph took over, PNG had a decent program already in place. They just needed someone to bring them to that next level. A coach usually needs 1 year to install their system. 2nd year should show remarkable improvement. 3rd and 4th year should be contenders. But, again, at any one time less than 10% of the coaches can achieve this.

I heard a rumor yesterday concerning Nederland. If true, there is going to be a lot of people here having collective heart attacks! Let's just say I did not see this one coming!

Wishing everyone here a very Merry Christmas!

Thanks for breaking this down. It's actually worst than I thought. I say at any one time, there's less than 10% Elite coaches. Didn't realize how much less. With my category of Elite coaches, there is right now only 1.5% active coaches that are Elite. When you add those with only one Title that comes up to 3.6%. Like I've said, if it was easy then every coach would have about 10. If it's talent only then this percentage should be dramatically increased. One would think anyway! Contrary to what some here think, a coach has to have the "it" factor to eventually become Elite!

Let's go with this: 1,500 high schools with 49 active coaches that have won one. That's 3.2%. Well under the 10% I usually state. But I also say it's under 10%. But let me reiterate: When I say Championship coaches I mean Elite coaches. Those that have won at least 2. @WOSdrummer99

Any thoughts on how we can go about getting a copy of the State game?

Any comments on the title of this topic? Like why one has and one hasn't?

Any comments on the title of this topic? Like why one has and one hasn't?!

Try to figure it out. Just think about it for a while.

Absolutely. People know I'm not a hypocrite!

HA! Again, MOST Championship coaches can do it in 4 years. I know that seems strange because there isn't a lot of Championship coaches around at any one time. But, if people don't care, it doesn't really matter.

Let me first remind that the Elite Status category is mine. In everything I've done my standards are a little higher than most. Everyone here may have what constitutes Elite Status. I'm sure there are some here that think a coach with a losing record is some-how Elite. Maybe because he's a nice guy? But, again, that's their prerogative. So, the tenants in my Elite category are as follows: Doug Ethridge, Tim Buchanan, Steve Suratt, Gordon Wood, Art Briles, Steve Wood, ETC. Regarding Neuman, based on how bad Nederland was, and is, Neuman did an exceptional job -- per Nederland's standards! But, did he achieve the same level of success that above mentioned coaches did? Absolutely not. Based on this backdrop, it drops him down to just a great coach. But, on the other hand, did I think that Neuman had the ability to achieve this status. Yes, I do think he did. But the reason that he did not, my opinion, was that he had a blind spot that he wouldn't correct. But, maybe he didn't think that needed correcting. 19 years and never made it to the big dance. We can all make excuses why this never happened. Maybe he just didn't have the "it" factor. Or, maybe if he had just played lesser competition in the playoffs?! Who knows?! Well, I think I know. But, again, my opinion!

The Last Time Democrats Took a GOP Candidate Off the Ballot Was in 1860 – They Would Not Allow Abraham Lincoln’s Name on the Ballot in Their Slave States! The Democrats haven't been this upset since Republicans ended slavery! [Hidden Content] @Big girl @UT alum

The NAALCP filed this? What? Geez!!

Come on, let's get real: Nobody complained about the officiating crew before the game. WHY?! Because SOC thought they were not going to lose the game!!
