Que the shame bell

Couldn't have said it any better. I think everyone can agree that Barrow and Simmons are both quality coaches and Nederland Bulldog Athletics are in good hands no matter who is chosen.

Could come as early as tomorrow. My guess is still March

Many would say if Barrow isn't hired Nederland might be in trouble

Sometimes the superintendent will use a hiring committee to recommend several names to interview

The superintendent recommends a hire but the schoolboard can also vote against the hire. The hire can also turn the job down which is what happened back in 93

The board must still vote to approve the hire

You don't think they have input though

The NISD schoolboard has a history of not hiring the most obvious candidate. All I can say is stay tuned.

Dont see this happening to be honest. I also dont see Nelson ending up at Central either.

Simmons was a two way player for Nederland in 81 and 82 he played RB and DB. Went to College at Lamar. I believe he's been at Cinco Ranch since 2000 he's been the Defensive Coordinator there for a number of years

Some might remember this but Neumann was not the first choice back in 1993. Dickie Meeks was the first choice but there was an issue with him wanting to bring in two assistants. The second choice Kendall Wheaton turned the job down leaving the door open for Neumann to take the job.

well if you want to call it a good ol boy hire you can. He graduated from Nederland. He was at A&M when he was hired at Nederland before that he was at TJ with Ronnie Thompson.

actually the last several hires have been outside hires. Neumann ofcourse was an outside hire but so was Bobby August, Steve Derouen, Ben Hurt, and Lloyd Wasserman. The last inside hire was Don Ross back in 1976

Eric Peevey has been named the new head coach at West Brook

wouldn't surprise me if someone did some people think that.

Dont recall anyone saying that.

James, there have been several bonds to upgrade the football facilities over the years and they have all been voted down. Any ideas as to how to get a bond to pass when others have been voted down?

And ill agree about Nederland's lack of facilities compared to others in the area.

Its possible they could have family or contacts in the area. I believe someone mentioned earlier where the position had been posted to.

Bell hired as Beaumont ISD interim athletic director

NISD didn't do a very good job at advertising the job IMO

Chad Simmons is the underdog pick longtime Cinco Ranch Defensive Coordinator and Nederland grad.

Didn't Nederland do something similar with the AD position in the 1980's with Lloyd Wasserman and Ben Hurt?

I wonder if Coach Barrow applied for the job though. Well find out soon I imagine
