Delbert Spell Retiring

[KABrother]

Nederland’s DC Delbert Spell is calling it a career after 45 years.  Enjoy a well earned retirement.

Wow tough tough loss for the Dogs. He could call some defense, his game plans were always scrappy just like most of defenses he coached. Enjoy your retirement coach! 

I wonder who will replace him? Outside hire or someone current on the staff?

Best of luck coach Spell, wishing you a healthy retirement. Wow, 45 years, you obviously have touched many lives. I repeat a saying,' what you do for yourself will pass away but what you do for others will live on'.

You are correct, Chris Theriot is Nederland DC now

[navydawg31]

Good for Chris. He has his great supporting staff on the team and his dad always to lean to and to help him. 

Now there is a certain coach at the middle school ranks to bring up to the varsity level to replace Chris’s position.

Coach Spell is a stud, hats off to him. Enjoy retirement, cosch.

Nederland had some dominant defenses over the years.  45 years as a coach in the same district is pretty impressive.  Congrats.

I'm not familiar with him.   Which middle school is he at and what does he coach now?  (Assuming DC but I could be wrong.)

Coach Smith was at CO Wilson a few years back. Not sure if he is still there, but he was very good.

Smith does is basketball thing. And is in charge of that. I wish they would bring him up and give English a great assistant for the basketball side of things.

Varsity level not freshman, or middle school duties. Strictly basketball

Chris Smith is varsity basketball asst. & head freshmen basketball coach. There is no coach at nhs that is strictly varsity basketball only. English coaches all 3 levels at practice & in some games.

Which is why he needs help. It’s not fair to English especially the way he has turned the program around with his tenure being there. It’s time to reward him and give the man the help he deserves and the tools to reach the next level.

Congrats to Mr. Delbert Spell great coach,great person,great family & it was a blessing my boys getting coached by him.

Coach Spell is a great man and will be missed on and off the field.  He is a man of great character and integrity he did it the Buldog Way,. One of the best Men I have ever been around. He and his wife raised,  amazing kids, two of which are educators. There will never be another like him, they broke that mold. Enjoy retirement Coach and know that you have impacted so many players and coaches in a   positive way.
