Cougtalk got a reaction from ace2335 in Dallas ISD considering filing a grievance over PNG win
I have no dog in this.
That picture shows a PI.
If a ref from Groves was on the state championship crew he shouldn't have been and the UIL needs to fix their process to prevent this because even if he was completely objective it will never look objective.
I also believe the people who are eligible to ref a state championship game are substantially less than the general ability to agree upon officials in other playoff games, that also the UIL's fault.
If I am PNG I not only think it's UIL and SOCs fault a Groves official was on the field but if your PNG you also would not want that and should have pointed it out prior to the game. I'm assuming that PNG staff and crew just simply didn't know that specific information.
That being said this is and should not be a grievance with PNG but with UIL.

In the famous word of ole Coach Stewart in 2008 to Flannigan. If I had those kids I'd win state... He then proceeded to make the state finals with his own kids.
For the record we had just lost 49-7

Just a thought here and I understand there might be some controversy around this.
I think Crosby's implosion and PNG's ascension should teach us a couple very important lessons.
1) We overvalue the effect of athletes (bo's and joes) on the success of a program and undervalue the effect of coaching.
2) Great coaches will get the enrollment involved and working. At the end of the day the single most important thing for late playoff success is depth and coaching. Yes losing a great QB/RB/WR/LB can end a season early but if you don't have depth at all the "not superstar" positions and if the backups aren't just as willing, able and wanting to play as the starters you cannot have success at the highest levels.
I think this is true because of a couple of reasons, Winner win. If you are successful and win others want to be a part of that, from that 6'8 300 lbs kid that's never touched a football to that 5'6 kid who will run through a wall to get his chance. They all are important and they all need to feel like part of the team. If you win then no one cares about being the backup. If you win people will be happy to just be on the team. If you win you can have 65 athletes on Varsity every single year.
Even a team without elite athletics' talent can execute plays at a high level if they are well coached. Practice times, culture of work, and accountability set the standards for developing 14 year old's into athletic 17 years old's. That being said great coaches can overcome program deficiencies that previously existed.
Crosby and PNG prove this. PNG has no more talent now than it has for the last decade. Crosby has no less talent than it has for the last decade. It's about how that talent is coached, brought through the system, and executes daily.
My ramblings.

Your opinion: When the new coach was hired at WOS, the talent just happened to fall off at the same time? Or could there be another reason for their team’s downfall from what they’ve been used to?
