We played Anahuac opening game last year and he was not a 140 lb. QB.  Program listed him at 6’1” Fr. 187 lbs. 

 

 

I never said he was a 140 lb QB.  He might have been 140-150 (maybe pushing 160) in 8th grade but he's got the frame to be a good sized QB.  Though even as a freshman, 187 lbs might be stretching it.  Don't you know football game programs make their players bigger & heavier?  Even the NCAA teams do it...

He's definitely closer to 187 now that he would have been when he left Hardin.

I hear he is no longer going to Nederland, looking at John Tyler and another school.

You are correct sir, Coach Barrier has changed his mind about accepting the Nederland OC position. 

[Separation Scientist]

Dang, they should have just stayed at Anahuac, It could have been a great ride.

Was it because he couldn’t call the plays and wanted to bring a key assistant with him?

There's only one person in charge of that and he's thrown specials for years

This is interesting.  Going in, did he not know he was not calling the plays?  I've said all along the HC was not giving up that part of it.  Would like to get the full lowdown on what actually transpired.

Interesting.  I bet those large schools in East Texas will be elated to have the Barrier family

Seems to me like he is trolling.

If you are pointing that at me you are way off base. I do not have any connection to the Anahuac program, except for it being neighboring in my county. I think you have interest and comment on other teams up your way, don't you?

My OPINION is both the dad and son would have been better served to just stay put. Others see it differently, and I am fine with that, but the current circumstance seems to back me up, doesn't it?

What is the point of posting on a sports forum if you can't comment and express an OPINION without getting called out?

I am simply saying he is trying to get his best offer which there is nothing wrong with that. I was not calling you out. You took that all wrong, sorry if I offended you. That is not my intent to personally offend anyone. Trolling to me means looking around and there is nothing wrong with that.

Apologies if I misunderstood. All is good, thanks, PE.

Hate to see him leave Anahuac Brady Barrier is the real deal where ever he goes they will be lucky to have him all his last year games can be found on Anahuac Sports Live on YouTube

Sounds like a big plus for the Bulldogs, however same coaching staff, so look for a 2-8 to possibly 5-5 season for the Bulldogs 

[purpleeagle]

Good coaching staff at Nederland. They will be a much better team this year. It’s ashamed the coaches and kids have to endure the haters on this site. Tells you a lot about a person.

The best way to silence the haters is to get better. I'm from Lumberton...believe me, I know.

[spidersal]

Very good coaching staff. That is why they played like an HISD school last season. Certainly they will be better, I don’t think they can be any worse 

Losses FFM, Dayton, PAM, PNG, TC

wins GP, Willowridge

WOS, Silsbee, SF big ? Marks

also if a good coaching staff why is record not very good in years there?

[spidersal]

Not haters, just facts

[purpleeagle]

Very good staff. Nederland will rebound.Go Bulldogs.

love those bulldogs. Just love love love those bulldogs. Great kids, great staff.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

We'll see how good Ned can potentially be come Week-2.

Nederland definitely have a DL that is a player. Seen him at the ASU camp. He should be good to anchor the DL.

The biggest difference I saw in Brady was that when the season started, he was a skinny incoming 9th grader, all of 140 lbs at 6'0.

I can't tell you what his height and weight is today, but I saw him two weeks ago at a baseball game and he's not the same looking kid.  I didn't get close enough to him to tell exactly how tall he was, but he was taller than me and I am 6'2 

I'm a little under 6'4" and as of mid January Brady was just about looking eye to eye with me, he weighs 190 currently.
