Weather should be great and I'm really hoping the best for these young men.

Too bad if it happens that way. I can see a 5 -5 record being a great achievement next year.

Just my opinion. The  talent level might be taking a dip in Nederland the next few years. With that said, wins against losses don't always equal how good a coach or program you have. I just hope people can see that and agree when Nederland goes through a few lean years coming up. Again, my opinion nothing more. Monte is the right man for the job!!

Seems fitting, after all Coach Neumann was handed the program without any head coaching experience and we all know how that turned out!!  First two years under Monte will be rough, to me it is because of player depth and impact players are missing. He still is the man for the job!

To give it an optimistic look, Nederland played quite a few sophomores last year and they gained valuable game experience that will only help them the next 2 years...I remember that happening another time here recently (2010) and the 2011 and 2012 teams ended up 2-time undefeated district champs, going 3 and 4 rounds deep, respectively...not saying that's a sure thing for this group, but it is far from a lost cause...that Friday night experience those players got last year will benefit them

We have more returning than u think some that should of been playing might get some time now the dogs will be alright 

I think Wistner will make some noise at LB as well. 2 year starter headed to his senior year and has and goes all out every play.

You usually see it like it is jake94 and after reading the names you mentioned, I will have to agree, we seem better in 2017 than what I thought.

Simmons is gonna be great. Lewis will be a 2-way stud like Colton Kimler was. Mark my words. Leday looked good at QB in limited action. Forney will lead an underrated defense. The secondary should be solid in my opinion. The cupboard is far from bare.

I actually think we will be pretty good in '17... after that, you may be right. I think the pieces are in place to have a solid 2017 though.

Agree about Simmons, I hope he has a break out huge year. I think he can play for Lamar. Kid is hard to bring down for being such a small player.

Nederland doesnt return much this year but still has a few pieces. I think Simmons will be the focal point of the offense this year as there are question marks at QB, Offensive Line and WR. The Defense will be ok with Forney and Lewis returning. 

I hope the best for the players of each and every sport and I hope the best for each and every coach of every sport in the city of nederland.bottom line is not to many student athletes from nederland go on to make a living playing sports so all we can hope for is these coaches teach these kids a valuable lesson that helps them become adults and a future in whatever life brings their way,enough bashing let's just pray for a better future for every coach and every student athlete in nederland!!!

Not blaming the kids, always said, give the Nederland coaching staff the athletic talent on some of the Beaumont teams and watch out!! We beat many of those teams through the years with less athletic kids. I'm actually talking about the next two to three years, just seems like there might be a drop in the number of individual players who are game changers. But then again like Knoddy1 said, some of our best teams have come from years when we thought we had nothing coming back. Just making the point a 4 - 6 record doesn't mean you can't lead a program.

Not at all Nederland youth programs are winning championships against other SETX programs just a lot of the talent moves out due to lack of schools falling apart right infront of the citizens eyes and majority of the people do not want to invest in the future. 

I agree with James (and no ones blaming the kids).  For the past 23 years our coaches have given the kids the training and inspiration to succeed...Neumann created a culture for winning, the kids bought into it and still do, Monte and all his staff believe it too.  As James said we may go through some lean years, depending on the talent level only makes sense. But through the last 23 years sometimes I thought we might slip down some, that's when I got surprised by our great Bulldog teams and had great years....Right now I can't wait for the new season (era) I'm buying into it as all Bulldog fans should.

Great hire.  Monte will keep continuity in the program and not skip a beat while injecting a little new blood into all of the programs.  
I just hope that everyone that was this passionate about (gasp) potentially having a basketball coach as AD will be just as vocal and supportive about pushing for a proper bond issue that will upgrade all facilities (schools and athletic) in the near future.

Good deal keep the tradition rolling 

I feel disaster approaching Nederland if this goes down wrong!!! Get ready for the 70's and 80's all over again if it does!! yes I called it, revert back to my post at the end of school year 2018!!

Well I'm gonna say this one more time, there are two things that can mess up a football program, 1. Jerry Jones,  2. School Boards

If the AD job goes to anyone other than the Football HC then the priority of the football program in Nederland has just been seriously downgraded.  SAD

Barrows is the right choice
If Barrows gets it, the right guy did hear about it. Problem with Nederland is we just can't get the community to support upgrading our city. Putting band aides on stuff gets old. We do have great teachers and coaches, just poor facilities. Hopefully one day the right school board will assemble and support the direction of "new"!!

don't think that is what we are saying
