Alright, I think that's enough. Rule 15 of the SETXSports rules prohibits the posting of unsubstantiated rumors. The original subject of this thread is completely unsubstantiated and, based on my own research, verifiably false. The speculation about the future of Nederland's runningback is also unsubstantiated. This thread will be locked. I look forward to what Jeff Joseph will do with the Port Neches-Groves Indians in 2024 and beyond.

Central’s basketball announcer saying “Central Medical Magnet High School” is seared into my brain from playing there 15+ years ago lol

More of a combination. Community has just as much to do with it as anything; For instance, PNG's community spirit is what allowed them to spend thousands of dollars to hire Dodge to even go find a great coach. Without the right school board and community, that ain't happening in the first place... And I'm not a PNG guy, but I recognize one of the finest football communities in the nation when I see it.

Field a team with a good coach but the kids are slow, all Freshmen, unintelligent and possibly mentally disadvantaged. How much winning will that coach do? Now I understand that’s a stupid example, but it’s just to serve as an exploded view. You gotta have a combination of coaching, kids & community which includes parents and administration. It takes all 3.

I really think there is a lot of jealousy here. Are dudes mad they don't have college degrees, but coaches do? I'm sure a lot of them make more money than high school coaches, but I'm certain that many also do not. I'm just trying to figure it out.

I can't even get him to explain to me why Bill Belichick is sub .500 without Tom Brady.. or hasn't won a playoff game since Brady left NE. Or why some is his elite coaches (by his definition) didn't win another state title after reaching elite status (according to his definition). So.. again. You're wasting your time. Might as well just let him believe that any coach could go to any team and win it all eventually. Wait.. I think 7 years is his timeframe.

I don’t know that SOC makes it back next year. That region is stacked and they will be adding Anna (4A D1 State Champ) who is moving up. I like PNGs odds though. All that said it is very hard to win 5 straight against top talent each week, especially when you go into each game with a bullseye on your back like PNG will next year.

Nederland has the same problem with politics that Beaumont does. Homeboy hires and consulting rather than winning games with the best players and coaches.

OL PNG QB PNG WR SOC DL PNG LB SOC DB SOC Special Teams PNG

From the early part of the game, there were no calls on both sides. .

I agree and at the QB and RB position.

I think you are overestimating SOC's talent this year..PNG especially up front IMO was more talented

They’re just mad because “coaching” beat “talent!” They, like some here, don’t understand it! 😎😁

Nederland doesn't have a Reagan to point them in the right direction.

Louisiana does a Power ranking and makes the playoff bracket based on that with no geographic considerations. Imagine all the bickering and arguing over seeding. Also that 1st round matchup between Port Arthur and El Paso would be fun…. 😀

That parade and pep rally was nuts last night. I pulled the defense with my truck and trailer and couldn’t believe the amount of people there. The community support is unmatched.

Hopefully Big Ned will make a change soon If not we will continue to see bad football at Nederland

Man those years between Aikman and Romo were some dark times lol

Reagan is prohibited to post on this thread.

BENEFIT, not a hindrance…

Means we are now the Hunted!

I have a bachelors and a pretty decent income. I also have the ability to sit and watch a game without telling the tv I know more about football... and I have the ability to not act like a know it all on a message board. Its a pretty good feeling to just sit and watch lol

I am beyond happy not being a coach. I like my sanity and free time too much. Plus, I don't want to have to look for a new job every 7 years if I don't win a title.

The other one called in back up. Needed some help on the forum

they've gotten hammered this year, as best I can tell, between kids transferring and losing big name recruits.

Starts with an I and ends in an S

When I make those statements, they're about you bro... and the others who clearly do not. They're not about the people who actually understand it takes more than just a good coach to win. Culture & talent are the 2 most important factors. Coaches can develop culture, but it takes a village. Don't forget - high school football coaches are TEACHERS first. They are the ones spending every day with TEENAGERS and trying to get the best out of them. If you've never spent time as a TEACHER and a COACH, then you will NEVER really and fully understand the many nuances and dynamics of high school athletics.

Let PNG look as bad as Nederland look and see what that culture looks likes. Good coaching brings about good culture. If Nederland had Joseph and PNG had Nederland’s coach we’d be talking about how bad the PNG culture is.

Png has the best period. they won ,game over! end of story.til next chapter :2024 lol!

Bingo 😎

100% correct. And plenty to be called.

I’m all for letting the kids play. But, flagrant penalties need to be called!

Next week at the Arkansas tournament is what I am being told.

Sour grapes is all this is. Move on SOC, you lost.

13 and 6. He can go. McNeese just 20 pieced them but he obviously didn’t play.

The future looks bright at PNG, but I tell you we’re going to feel the loss of Nyugen and Shea Adams - Few RBs in PNG history have had the vision, timing, and balance of Nyugen. And there might may not have ever been a do-it-all player as clutch across so many games as Adams in PNG history. These two took us to two state championships and one trophy, and they did it by repeatedly showing up in huge moments when inches mattered. There’s a lot more we’ll miss - #28 (I forget his name, but he’s been huge on offense and defense) is one. Next man up. 2024 is going to be huge for PNG. But, we’ll definitely miss those guys.

That used to be a rule but I dont believe it is any longer

Oh yeah no doubt, there was classics ones… (Crosby Vidor playoff game always comes to mind lol) and some of the posters that have passed on, we have had some characters over the years on this board.

I find it hilarious that the negative people haven’t pounced on the Patriots when Brady was there. Talk about a pansy division. They were guaranteed a playoff spot every year. Of course Brady was the best, but no one ever questioned who they had beaten. 49ers lost to the Browns and Vikings on the road in consecutive weeks and then to the Bengals at home. The Browns didn’t have a winning record when they beat them. Minnesota was 2-4 when they beat them. The Bengals were 3-3 when they beat them. Remember, these are teams with losing records that beat the 49ers in consecutive weeks…..yet we sing their praises and pounce on the Cowboys. What a joke. Come at me with a little more substance than hatred.

There are a few stay at home moms in the Hebert Woods edition 🤣

You have to be joking. I know several single women who don't care for red headed men. Isn't this a little "over the top"? Next thing will be that he asks for a mil a year contract and folks will expect PN-G ISD to pay it. I think the guy stays for a while and builds something pretty special. But let's pump the brakes a bit.

Call it what you want. UNTIL they change the rules, it’s smart. So is teaching O lineman how to hold without getting caught. All good line coaches teach it.

How about the “Chain Gang?” I understand it’s not in use anymore! 😏

That explains it! CT was only successful because they had all stars every year for 20+ years... I knew it. 🤡

Did anyone else see SOC defenders all wear purple gloves so they can blend in with our jerseys so they could get away with holding. Especially #2 with the purple sleeves. They had light blue gloves last week against Emerson. But we're being called cheaters and have an asterisk because the refs gave us the title

SMH I really like this BC team. I predict them to make the playoffs. Coach Robertson is doing a great job there. But if we are being honest, not sure any Silsbee team is overly proud of beating Bridge City in basketball. Beating BC by 30 is a common thing for Silsbee basketball.

I would of like to see what he would of done with Roshon Johnson

Man... you are sad. Only about wins and losses. Nothing more, nothing less. Such a simple mind. Maybe one day you'll be able to see that coaches are much more than wins and losses.
