BEST DEFENSIVE COORDINATORS

[Guest JGLB55]

Coach Deaver from Kountze does well with those kids.

Stowars of Central.  Whoever the DC is @Nederland hasn't had a decent defense in the last 6 years.......

[Guest ECBucFan]

You oughta try telling that to Galena Park, or any of the other teams Ned has knocked out of the playoffs in the past years...

The numbers speak for themselves.  All you mascot handlers go a little research and you will find they were either middle of the pack to near bottom in defense.

85, I think you will be pleasantly suprised with the Titans new DC this season. Viola learned under Thompson at WO-S before going to Memorial and I thinkthe Titan D will be very improved this season.

I know he's not from SE Texas, but Mike Copeland from Stephenville was great to play for.  He was Art Briles' DC and then took over after Art left for Tech.

Nederland went 2 deep in the playoffs, their D must have been pretty good.

[WOS95]

Cornel Thompson-WOS

Delbert Spell-Nederland

Anything, and I mean anything short of Ned's DC would be better @Memorial.  I don't care if they have to run somebody down from 20 yards behind, as long as they make an 'impression' once they get there.....

[Guest wos country]

coach Thompson WOS, without a doubt.

[skipper]

wo-s  thompson just take a peek at what his defence has done over the years

[HFHORNS]

Carl Broussard formally with HF now with PNG...........Go Indians

[bears99]

Have to say Cornell Thompson at WO-S

[jglb55]

Give summin up for Coach Deaver in Kountze, We were a young group of kids last year.

I might sound like a homer, but you can't argue with Coach Cornel Thompson's consistent numbers. Through bad offenses and spectacular offenses, the defense rarely wavers.

I have to go w/ SFA (to a degree) on the Ned defense issue. Nederland is a well-coached program with a consistent playoff tradition, but when a back runs for almost 2,500 yards and almost 30 TDs, how does the team go .500?

Well, by giving up an average of 28 points per game and 220 rushing yards per game (including one game of over 530 yards) despite having one of the top defensive prospects in the state ready to stop the run. They gave up about 23 PPG in 2005, 17 in 2004, 13 in 2003, 21 in 2002 and 18 in 2001. That averages out to 20 points per game over the last six years - including 10 games allowing more than 35 points.

It's certainly not enough to fire up the torches and storm the castle, but it's also not "elite." Respectable, yes.

If you tell me that WO--S played Waller and our offense rolled up 540 total yards, I don't have to look at the paper or the box score. We won. I realize that Colton Johnson was an outstanding back, but he gained WELL OVER a fourth of his yardage for the season in that game.

I'm not bagging on Nederland at all, but I don't think the DC belongs in this discussion. Just my opinion.

My vote goes to Thompson, but Newton's D is typically pretty stout. Central has had some strong ones over the years. Last year, Dayton's D held us well up until the last third of the game.

All the talent in the world means absolutely nothing if you can't DISCIPLINE those oh-so-talented-athletes.  That's what Coach T represents and expects.

Discipline is far more successful than just talent alone.

And with that, the defense rest.......
