Hate this for the young man...... And his team. I would think it's a 100 percent participation kinda thing. Unless you are pitching that day. Injuries are part of it.

Certainly pushing his agenda.....

Lights on Prather Field been burning every morning this week...Spring training has started?

There's no doubt the Injuns are as well coached as anyone but, BINGO on the difference in D1 and D2.... Much easier path as of late....

I don't think anyone here would argue that the injuns have had better personal the last couple years. And better Coaching without question. The biggest separation was in the trenches., and not so much skill wise imo.... Talent is cyclical, it comes and goes. If Neds new staff lives up to expectations, I see no issue of much more competitive matchups in the future. It's all cyclical ,coaching and talent.....Lets give it some time and see...200 more kids is a plus but by no means the tell all year by year.

Also hearing Broussard is the OC, last years OC took a job in Lumberton.....

The word is a DC has been hired.... Matt Wright from Conroe Oak Ridge.

Has a date been set for Spring Training to begin?

I hear both were told they could stay if they like........Oline coaches. Tough to replace everyone at once, next year may be different....

Looks like things are moving forward. Two Teacher/Coach positions posted on the NISD website.

I realize it's early and Rich hasn't been here long but, any clue as to when he intends to start spring training?

ST is a must this year....He has a whole new system to implement as well as evaluate personnel. As the AD its on him to make sure ALL that play football participate, as much as possible. Football puts buttss in the seats and fills the coffers.

Yes, DeRouen had the title....RT called plays....And I Think it was Celaya who was after the job at TJ, not Neuman.

Actually Owen’s was a DC under RT…. Steve was the OC…. Newman applied for the HC job at TJ when Owen’s left. Marler got the job….I believe Neuman was DC for Owen’s…. Slept since then.

Yes….

Agreed.....Hoping for more of a ball control, pro style offense. And get back to playing good defense.

I'm sure some will leave for other jobs....

Excellent....

Sounds like the offense will be fine...Here's hoping a good DC comes next....

Let's keep this about Nederland football ......

That's good stuff..... and don't forget the coaching staff is undefeated, and 1-0 in post game bar fights.

Just passed by the boardroom and intended to stop for the meeting. 17th street had more Ford Escorts than Philpott.....

True that, maybe change is in order there too.......

Post meeting lunch was at Redbirds...Golf cart parade and post signing party at the Wheelhouse.

Coach Rich's dad was a career teacher, coach and administrator.....
