You have to think in terms of him starting out as a HC. He was an assistant at Phillips High School. Then became HC at Dalhart. That was the 50-50 shot. Then he became HC at Monahans. Again, 50-50 shot. Then he became HC at Hobbs, NM. 50-50 shot. This is where he first played in a Title game and lost it. Then the next year he won it. When TJ hired him and then PNG hired him, they knew he was championship-type coach at that point. Again, less than 10% at any give time are championship-type coaches. PS: I believe you support Newton now? Do you believe you have a coach that can win a State Title? If so, what makes you believe this?

That's a little harsh...Barrow had a winning record and made the playoffs 5 out of those 7 years including a trip to the 3rd round in 2020 it was the last 3 years that did him in...On a different note I like everything Coach Rich has done up to this point and I'm not the only one who thinks that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made the playoffs this year because his bad team beat the other bad teams. Then got smoked in the first round. The first couple of years, he was operating off what Neumann had instilled. Just like Barry Switzer was operating off what Jimmy Johnson instilled and won a Super Bowl. But it got ugly once Jimmy's influence wore off. After Neumann's influence wore off, it was all his and it all went south. Like I said, gloriously. Towards the end, they were badly coached. I don't think that's debatable! dme1111 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even debate that those last 3 years were terrible...IMO 2020 is the only year you can't give credit to Neumann for Reagan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, what makes you believe this? I graduated from PNG but live in Newton Co. Security 34 years for Newton. I am totally satisfied with our coach and players and support them win or lose. Our coach coached under W.T. Johnston. Played under Curtis Barbay. Was all state two years. PN-G bamatex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
