2wedge Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Barbay......... I don't believe Neece didn't know this when he decided to leave for Anahuac, and I don't think it's a coincidence Barbay didn't end up getting the Anahuac job. Enjoy retirement Coach Johnson......

skipmeister Posted March 25, 2019 Report Share Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe Bryan Barbay might get the job. Other than that, we don't know what is going to happen. This is going to be a competitive job opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purpleeagle Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 His (defensive coordinator) son has been the backbone of the team for several years. His defense has been what has carried the Eagles to back to back state championships. Hate to see Neece leave, he was an important piece of the puzzle (offensive coordinator) .

purpleeagle Posted March 26, 2019 Report Share Posted March 26, 2019 Surprised that Neece took the Anahuac job. He told me a few months ago that he did not want a head coaching job. He knew that the Newton Job was probably his if he wanted it. Seems odd that he took a head/AD job at a school which has a losing tradition when he probably could have had the Newton job. Coach Neece is an outstanding person and a really good coach. If the kids will buy into his program, Anahuac will be a better team. Good luck Coach Neece.

When the next coach comes in and wins, they'll say that's the way it always has been and maybe no credit to the new coach. If the new coach starts to lose then it's his fault because Newton always wins. At Anahuac, since they've been down and he wins, then it's all on him. To me, it's a better situation for him.

purpleeagle Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 I did not miss read your comment Reagan. Newton people would have backed him (Neece) regardless of his record. If Drew gets the job, Newton people will back him regardless of his record. Newton will be down next year but will still be a good football team, but watch out in two years, we have a good crop of kids coming up.

purpleeagle Posted March 27, 2019 Report Share Posted March 27, 2019 Several that are close to the Eagles are hoping that his son gets the position. I think only two coaches are leaving with Neece ( a line coach and another young coach) The major lose being Neece. That means we would have to replace out offensive coordinator. It has been an honor and privilege to have to have been associated with W.T.. He has made a better person of all of us who were around him.

purpleeagle Posted April 4, 2019 Report Share Posted April 4, 2019 Newton job has been posted. I think it has to be posted 10 days. W.T's. retirement farewell was today. Rings were presented. A lot of hugs and tears. This Christian man has not given up yet on a miracle recovery, neither have I given up. Keep your prayers coming. jimmyw, EagleLB79, WOSdrummer99 and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dillonpanthers Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 That's crazy if they wait that long. If it's the son, would think they've already told him and he knows, so they can carry on through the spring as usual. EagleLB79 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
