ciscokid1989 Posted November 16, 2017 Report Posted November 16, 2017 The Best Indian coach of all times Doug Ethridge is he still living. When he moved on to Pasadena we played a lot of playoff games there him n my coach Richard Marler were tight. His teams dominated the 70s Footballfan1209 1 Quote
png9mon Posted November 16, 2017 Report Posted November 16, 2017 Very fond memories of Coach Ethridge. My senior year was his last year as our head coach, so I went through all the glory years as a young man & child, never missing a game. Phenomenal coach, Great PNG Teams!!! Quote

prepballfan Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 I believe it was his son that attended the game. Week before last we had two PN-G greats perform the coin toss. Mike Simpson and Former Longhorn OC Greg Davis a very cool night at the Reservation. ciscokid1989 1 Quote

Hagar Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Back in the 70's, it was referred to as the University of PNG. No one could understand how a school with a relatively small enrollment could win so much. One thing that still,lingers in my memory, when the wideouts went down to block, the corners ended up on the ground. Great technique/coaching. Not to take anything away from Coach Etheridge, but imo, he was surrounded by a great staff also. prepballfan 1 Quote
Whoa Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 12 hours ago, Reagan said: Yes, he's still living. Lives south of Fort Worth. I know him personally. Good man! He moved to Round Rock first his salary at 40K was the highest paid at the time in fact they had to give the Principal a raise because the AD/HC cant make more than the HS Principal he then moved to Pasadena. Yes, he did have a great staff after the State Champ in 75 lost Davis, Nunez, Bush, Carswell I cant think of any others He came to the yearly State Championship reunions until 10 or so years ago, Butch too and Nunez a couple of times. He was in for the 2015 MCM (40 years I cant believe) and banquet at the Pompano. I talk to Richey several times a month One of is properties was wiped out in Rockport by Harvey. The Lug would have been an all state MLB just as easy as Qb. Quote
