Here we go. Some forked tongues run their mouth about PNG hiring Todd Dodge for his recommendation . Turned out pretty good didn’t it.  

TD hit a home run. So why not stick with that format?

Not a fork tongue to want to know where the tax dollars go.

The fork tongue is when people try to hide where the money goes......

TD has Austin Area and basically whole state locked down, DC has the whole Houston area locked down, and KB has college and state connections as well. I say NISD is blessed right now…. We aren’t just looking for a HC but a AD to oversee all athletics. Time and time again. Nederland is at its best when kids play multi sports!!

Who said it was high? 

 

It would have to be high, otherwise every school in the state would be getting TD to help get them a coach. Unless he’s only saying yes to a few schools, money is the only barrier. He doesn’t want to spend all of his time doing coach selection, and it’s not every school that can afford it.

TD is connected enough to get the information NED needs to get a good coach.

I just think it is over kill to hire 3 consultants.

I would be willing to bet TD has a list of guys without having to do much research.

If TD is high I can only wonder what the price of 3 consultants will be.

The other guys aren’t in such high demand, probably aren’t as expensive. And they’re true Nederland fans — They might be doing it for free.

And even if they aren’t, it might not be the school district footing the bill.

If you think that hiring a great coach will bring you a championship in 2or 3 years, you are going to be very disappointed. Bilichick is a great coach but when he lost his good player then he started losing.  

We expect to be competitive in district which we haven't been the last 3 years

They better play tremendously better, if they are going to be competitive this upcoming season. They had one of the worst defenses I have seen in many years the last 2 seasons. I sure hope they get a defensive staff that can turn that awful defense around in a hurry Next thing that must happen, is to teach the offensive line to block, receivers how to catch, and most of all teach a QB how to throw

These phases have been missing for quite a while and that is why they have not been able to compete

To my knowledge, TD made 2 trips to the area when Joseph was hired.  Much can be handled through zoom meetings and the internet. He's not required to attend practice, pep rallies, booster club meetings, just the vetting of candidates to the sup......It's really a  reasonable sum for everything that's at stake.....

I disagree with that too the top 3 were competitive in district...if you think 4th place is competitive tell the WO-S fans their team was competitive in 2023 and see what hornets nest you'll stir up😄

What was the score between PNG and WOS?

You are being silly now!

Understood. You are "being silly" if you believe a team that went to the playoffs and lost to FBM 21-19 was not competitive. If they scored 4 more points against FBM would they have been "competitive"? 

Were they "4 points" away from being "technically competitive"?

The Bulldogs were not very competitive They got blown out by every good team they played and also PAM who we saw choke like Prescott FBM was not very good. Name a good team that the Bulldogs beat!  You can’t because there wasn’t one

That's all in the past now and NISD is taking the proper steps to see that the future is brighter. Ive always respected Neds program and wished them the best, I still do.

    • Say that then. Don't just stop at i am pro-life. Thanks for the clarification.
    • A life is being taken in both instances.
    • I get it!!  I was once in your shoes. I was that person in the stands, loudly complaining about “bad officiating.” Now, with the rise of social media, it’s easier than ever to voice these criticisms online.  I thought I could see every call better than the officials on the floor. Then someone said to me, “If you can do better, get in the game.”   That challenge changed my life. Over 20 years ago, I became a basketball official, and what I’ve learned since then is eye-opening.   Officiating is not just about making calls. It’s about managing the game, the players, the coaches, and yes, the fans. We face a new generation of student-athletes who have been raised in a culture where everyone gets a trophy and losing is almost taboo. We deal with fans who question our integrity and sometimes become outright hostile.   I acknowledge that officials aren’t perfect; we have off days just like anyone else. However, the increasing hostility from fans is driving many to leave officiating. According to the National Federation of High School Associations, approximately 50,000 high school officials have left the profession since the 2018-19 season, with fan behavior being a significant factor.    Here’s the reality: without officials, there is no game.   So, instead of tearing down the people who make your games possible, here’s a suggestion:   • Thank the officials for being part of the game. • Thank them for the countless hours they spend studying rules, mastering mechanics, and working to improve. • Thank them for their patience with privilege-minded athletes and overly aggressive fans.   Next time you see an official, instead of criticizing, take a moment to say, “Thank you.” They’re out there to make the game happen, and trust me, it’s not as easy as it looks from the stands.   If you think you can do better, take the challenge like I did. Get in the game. You might just discover how much it takes to blow that whistle.
