Will PNG ever be good again?

[fbplayer999]

My thought no, as long as whats his name is..........i'll quit

[ndnsrock44]

You got that right. What a waste of talent last year was....Very disappointing!

[Guest Indian Chief]

We need a fresh start, no doubt. Alot of Indians agree with me.

[DP#1FAN]

Not sure what the problem is but I know this PNG has always played with pride. I hope the Indians can turn things around.

PNG has lost alot of great asst. coaches in the last few years.

[WOS95]

i thought png had a good team last year with some very good athletes.  i realize the expectations are high for success at png, but you got to remember its hard to get a playoff spot in that 4A district with dayton, central, and nederland in the mix.  im sure png will be back in the playoff mix soon.

Coach Burnett and his staff or trying their best to win. They work their kids just like everyone else. Give them the opportunity to WIN. He has a few new Coaches on his staff that are likening to the PNG system. They will be allright.

[play-ball!!]

Last year they had talent but just not enough experience  they had 2 seniors starting on the defensive side of the ball and on offense they had a tailback and the offensive line as seniors  the rest of the team was juniors and a sophomore quarterback  the only thing they are losing is the offensive line and they are actually getting a better one  bigger boys and they are more dedicated than last year  ANd they are running a new spread offense so look for them to make a good run the next two years

Bigger lineman dosent always equal better lineman.

I heard that there was an 8th grader at PN who has alot of talent.

[Guest Indian Chief]

I've heard that as well. I also hear we're going to the spread this year.

[indian28]

who would that be? the best 8th grader would be matt desmond a qb from groves

the first step in regaining the glory of PNG's past is for the community to vot YES and pass the school bond issue in May. The plans for the stadium alone are extraordinary (field turf, 3 level press box, etc etc) but the mood of the entire district from elementary school and up is way down from what it was in the past. Upgrades to the districts facilities and equipment would go a long way to change the entire attitude within the district. People would be excited about being at PNG again.

Second step is getting a HC that will allow his assistants to coach. Burnett is a hell of a motivator and defensive guy, a good figurehead and representative of PNG but, expecially since Long left, his hands are all over the boring offensive trend the team has developed. The team had the talent last year to do more offensively than it did. He even jumped in and changed coach Fischers defense scheme after the LCM debacle. I'm not one of the ones screaming for him to retire, but if hes the HC he needs to hire a good young offensive mind to run the offense and LET HIM COACH. Dont scrap his system after a couple of bad weeks. If he cant do that then he needs to go.

Overall as long as we are in 4A with our numbers we should be competitive. Hopefully with the talent coming back at the skill positions it will come this season....

Someone wave the bs flag

[77]

Just havin a little fun guys.

[Brawler12]

PNG should never ever be defeated at home. They always have the best officials of any team in the area. Just make some false id's and give those guys some fake mustaches and glasses and you will be back on top of the state in no time at all.

[Guest Indian Chief]

When we run the same plays over and over it doesn't matter where we play. Just glad we're getting the Turf for next season.

Last year they had talent but just not enough experience   they had 2 seniors starting on the defensive side of the ball and on offense they had a tailback and the offensive line as seniors  the rest of the team was juniors and a sophomore quarterback   the only thing they are losing is the offensive line and they are actually getting a better one   bigger boys and they are more dedicated than last year  ANd they are running a new spread offense so look for them to make a good run the next two years

We had plenty of talent last year on offense, but it was wasted by TERRIBLE coaching and playcalling. I'm not sure where this bigger better o-line is coming from. The backups on varsity last year were not bigger or better and the JV o-line had a lot of problems.  What will help is if the rumors are true that Dustin Long is coming back as QB coach.  Maybe he can help Welch with playcalling and keep Burnett's nose out of the offense.We lost 6 seniors on defense, including all our LB's, but we do havesome good ones returning. The Sr's we lost were Perkins(DT), Walker, Faseler, Fenton and Wright(LB's) and Matt at DB. We had talent, so let's don't put the blame on the kids.
