With no dog in the fight how many towns with one high school have an AD other than the football coach are successful year in and year out in football in this area

With equal amounts of dogs in the fight, how many single high school school districts have the football coach as their AD and whose football programs are not successful year in and year out.

You do realize that they are not going to fill one without filling the other?  No way they announce that and get the board to vote unless they have coordinated with the person or people that they are going to hire.  

Plus, it is not going to be the end of Western civilization if the AD and HC is split.  Some of these people predicting the demise of the program and the entire community if this happens is utterly mind numbing.  Monte has no one to blame for this but himself if he is not AD and HC come Monday.  He has had years to get his Masters Degree and if he had, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.  (And I happen to think that Monte will be a very good HC if he gets the job.)

To say that Brian English would destroy the football program if he was to be named AD is ridiculous and borderline offensive.  Applying that logic, I would assume that all head football coaches that are also AD's are out to destroy all other programs.

Reading statements like this make me wonder, Since when did it become mandatory for a HC to have a Masters? Nederland didn't require it in the posting, so why is it a sticking point for some?

The issue was addressed earlier in the thread. The issue is with the title of Athletic Director. As others have pointed out the position is Administrative, and many school districts prefer a master’s degree but there is no set in stone requirement to have a master’s degree. Most will put masters preferred as Nederland did for the position.

All the talk of doom is nonsense. Either coach will do fine.

Amen, everyone needs to calm the heck down.   And BTW , I don't see NISD splitting the AD and HC positions.  Whoever gets one will get the other.   As far as the board goes, Neumann rubbed some people the wrong way for years, but none of the current board were around for most of that.

-Also, as far as one person's comment about the assistant supers not getting moved up to super vs an outside hire, there were probably other reasons for that, none that I will talk about on here.

No pic of which board members he was enjoying lunch with???

[chorizo]

Hope he is only enjoying lunch with family or friends and heading right back to Katy..or it's his first time in many years to check out the facilities the nederland kids have to use and it makes him laugh and heads back west on Interstate -10!!!

[navydawg31]

It was him, and 3 other people no board members...

[bulldawg64]

Probally there for the bbq crabs and back home to Katy!!

[PlayActionPass]

I'm guessing he is in the area for a very specific reason.

[bulldawg64]

Was down for Mardi.  Gras?lol

[InTheGates]

I would just like to see whoever gets the job to be a good steward for all athletics in Nederland...I still think their are many local business donors that could elevate the programs equipment, facilities etc. wise that would help the district if the platform was put in place...Just placing names on scoreboards and signs isn't the only way to get the money rolling in to athletic programs...Tonight is the night...!!

People can talk all day long about this but bottom line is,if monte doesn't get it I see doom for this football program!!i see coaches and players leaving..

That is an interesting take on things. Do you think if players leave they will have a chance to play at other schools? I did not realize the mood in Nederland was of this nature.

You can't say people aren't passionate in Nederland. I think regardless of the outcome tonight Nederland football will be fine.

Can't be any worse than hiring a guy that had a degree in Zoology

Lots of talk..and yes changing classifications I do believe you can play without losing a year of eligibility.

I don't see anyone transferring over a coaching change except those who had planned to leave already both coaches Barrow and Simmons are good.

Nope, unless you can show it is not for athletic purposes, they lose a year.

[bulldawg64]

Kelly or bmt legacy play next year 

[navydawg31]

If they leave because they didn't get the coach they wanted is sad and selfish and wont learn anything in life. If a guy I didn't like became my boss I'm not going to quit my job I'm going to deal with it and continue to do my work just like these kids should do and parents teaching them the right way
