WOSgrad Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 Perhaps. But we might never know. In fact, given the breadth of the request for depositions that Chip Ferguson has already requested in the Wallis/Reeves matter, it may behoove Coach Neece to continue his wise course of action in not divulging why he left Kirbyville for Newton lest he end up in front of lawyers and court reporters should he stray. The the matter is unfortunate at any time, but the timing is particularly bad for the football team and its new head coach, Todd Doughty. That is because even though Coach Doughty had absolutely no idea of the goings on in Kirbyville CISD at the time of his hiring and there is no evidence of any knowledge afterwards, he will be saddled with the fact that he is a "Tommy Wallis" hire. And should the Wildcats fall right out of the gate (and with due respect to my buds from Kirbyville, the chances of them besting Newton, regardless of which sideline Greg Neece is on, is at best remote) he will probably be crucfied. Crucified, not for what happens on the field, but that he is linked to an increasingly unpopular superintendent. . Quote

Belichick on the sideline? No. Belichick for offseason, two-a-days and a scrimmage or two? Kirbyville by 14. Quote
DP#1FAN Posted July 5, 2017 Report Posted July 5, 2017 Well, I want to wish Coach Neece, Newton and Kirbyville the best this season. NewtonNation 1 Quote
The Matador Posted July 16, 2017 Report Posted July 16, 2017 Congratulations to Coach Neece who has been named the new OC and play caller for Newton. Get your popcorn ready and make sure there are fresh bulbs on the Newton side of the scoreboard for week #1 against Kirbyville. I bet there will not be much kneeling on Newton's part late in the game... Quote

So are you saying that Coach Neece will not be doing a good job, thus they will need to keep scoring or that he has no class because he likes to run up the score? Quote
Fastballupandin Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Kinda strange that all the experienced FB coaches left Kirbyville after Neece resigned. You don't think he had any influence on that? Quote
2wedge Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 If I were a coach or teacher, I wouldn't touch Kirbyville with a 10 foot pole right now. Quote
purpleeagle Posted July 21, 2017 Report Posted July 21, 2017 Now, four coaches have left Newton. L Thompson, Robbie Hatton, Tabor Westbrook and Brian Barbay. Two retired, one was promoted to assist. principal and one went to Jasper. Quote
Old school eagle Posted July 30, 2017 Report Posted July 30, 2017 Coach Johnston will never allow an OC to run the score up on anybody. If Newton has a big lead, starters don't see the second half. That's the way Curtis Barbary ran his program and it's still run the same way. You never know when those tables might turn and the object of the game is never to make your opponent look bad. Coach Thompśon is 80 years old and coached for 54 years and as far as I'm concerned irreplaceable. But I'm very biased towards my old coach and Sunday school teacher. He will be missed though.

Coach Thompson was a great man ! Hard to beat him. He was my coach in High School at LCM. Along with Larry Grissom of Kirbyville. Two outstanding men. DP#1FAN 1 Quote

RedJollyRoger Posted August 20, 2017 Report Posted August 20, 2017 Coach Neece loved his Wildcats and always will. People need to realize that coaches are human. None of us "civilians" on here have to explain to the media why we make life decisions in our own jobs.... Great run at Kirbyille, Coach. Thank you for all you did for the kids and community. You've impacted many young lives everywhere you've been. Good luck in Newton! Quote
