FWIW-- KFDM says "resigning."  Matt Stepp's tweet says "retiring."

Matt's tweet was from my report. That was what I understood that Barrow would be doing, retiring.

Things could have changed or misinformed.

I think his original options were:  To retire or be reassigned within the district.  So, retiring sounds right.

Say what you want about  Monte, he was and is a class act. On and off the football field. Wishing him nothing but the best in whatever his plans are and sincere gratitude for his efforts.

Now, the question becomes, what process will NISD follow to select the new coach? Will they follow PNG’s and try to get a handpicked young guy with pedigree? Will they simply open it up statewide see who shows up? Or will they go in-house again? 

Bet Todd Dodge gets a phone call.

He has over 30 years in, he is probably retiring.

[GoPro]

Some say he was forced

Glad to see that Nederland finally realized that they could not be successful with that coaching staff. I hope they find a very good replacement and he sends the majority of that underachieving football staff packing

@Reagan for the new AD/HC!

In 7 years or less they'd be ordering rings.

Monte didn't wake up this morning and say. Today's a good day to retire. This has been in the works for a few, no telling WHO has gotten a phone call.

It was probably an either/or conversation.   I figured he would retire with the amount of time he had in the district.  He's in his mid to late fifties I guess, so he might move on somewhere else.

Anyone else believe a mass exdous of the coordinators follows the annoucement?

The new AD will probably want his own coordinators , some of the assistants might stay if asked.

Official NISD statement says resigning

Of course, resigning to retire is a completely plausible explanation.

The OC was a below average hire. Theriot won’t be back. I bet OF or over to BC as DC..where his kids go. 
maybe the new AD will get quality Strength/conditioning program  👀
 

[KF89]

State wide search has begun for new AD\Head Football Coach. All coaching positions will be open for the new AD to fill. if you are a certified teacher in anything but PE you probably have a teaching job if not picked to coach by the new AD.

Nederland current staff has like 7 football coaches that do PE only.

I don't think many would say that he wasn't.  It was purely a coaching situation!

Great news! A head coach should be allowed to bring in his own staff.

New coach at least needs to bring in new OC and new DC.  But also needs to find the best O-line coach possible and bring him in.  

[Reagan]

Anyone know when are they going to start receiving applications?

[Bigdog]

Ok, I am going to go ahead and get this out of the way before it gets out of hand.   Lets not get to the point of coach bashing.  It hasn't happened yet in my opinion but don't go down that road.
