I concur with the latter portion " If BISD is trying to improve their image" the search should include outside applicants.

The current debacle at Beaumontt Ozen was orchestrated by more than one culprit by design. One can slice it any way you want to and if youre not part of the solution then remaining silent you're part of the problem. Karma has one person singing the blues today. It takes more than one to Tango. A speedy/intelligent decision is whats needed by the Admin. to cure a wound thats been open way too long.... jmo

Build it and they will come...Hire that quality coach to build a quality program,then and only then will the Ozen zoned kids will come to Ozen instead of crossing the zone line to WestBrook .I assume this is one of the down falls of having 3 high schools in the same city with little enforcement in place.... NorthShore high school- 4,723 students- grades 9-12- student teacher ratio 17:1...This would be too much like right for BISD with their champagne taste and their beer budget...You get what you pay for.

LoL he may be interested in the PAM or Central job next year and may have decided to stay put until then....IHOP run brb...

Png O-Line coach..."Orleans"..Still the one......

From back in the day the group "Blue Magic"...Step right up... let the side show begin hurry hurry....has to be the saddest show to see...guaranteed to make you cry...If the position isnt opened to outside applicants the quick fix is in. The mentality of any port will do in a storm will result in same song same results. "Ace" said it best "How long has this been going on" BISD why dont you guys get it right....Stop patching Ozen and fix it right..jmo...

Ozen's offense will be walking into a buzz-saw of a defense facing- SW-Prep Bellaire Episcopal the first game of the year... 6'-5'' 315 DT Marvin Wilson... 6'-7'' 305 DT Little Walker...6'-4'' 220 DE Bo Mannon...smh...Getting waxed the first game of the season will be a great morale booster for an under manned undersized Ozen bunch.They are short on numbers hope the injury bug want bite them after this contest. I'm curious who scheduled this and why.

Philanthropist-Boxer-Legend-Entertainer....RIP- CHAMP...

Still no word on the "interim" sacrificial lamb at Beaumont Ozen for 2016 Football season....Approximately 85 days before the first game...No Spring practice- No head coach... This is a "Come on Man" moment...

Thanks for an awesome tribute..From me a Vietnam Vet....

I'm in total agreement Nelson shouldnt have been terminated from Ozen. However Ms L and the Snake Oil salesman flexed their power and the deceptive deed was done. There's been no consensus that Nelson is interested only speculation that he'd be the best qualified inhouse choice. The hour glass runs out next friday. In the mean time wait is the word.That old cliche says wait/weight sunk the boat...jmo...

This hire will be a short term solution to a long term fiasco. I agree they were headed in the right direction under his tutelage. He would be the pick recommended by the man behind the curtain.The long term solution would be new direction from a coach from a work ethical program barring talent. Hard work will beat talent when talent dont work. Less talent and no work makes for a lot of donkey stomped losses ..And the band played on...jmo...

It aint over until the fat lady sings...I'm keeping hope alive for PNG OL coach...I realize BISD hasnt opened the position to outside applicants at this late date. So the rumor is a Central assistant...

No news and next week ends the the school year for BISD.... Taxation without representation- Suggs is receiving the pay but not actually preparing Beaumont Ozen for the up coming football season....Well not surprised BISD was paying 2 head coaches during the McGee era until they settled with him. It's too quiet on the Pear Orchard home front. I thought it was quiet before the storm. However no one seems to be concerned. Did they cancel football and just havent made it public yet ? IDK does anybody ???

Welcome back Buddy...You all can give Nelson the PA job next year if PA dont win 22-5A like some have predicted lol....In all seriousness folks behind the curtain are about to make that happen if he's interested. Not a bad move or good move but surely not the best move. Its time to move forward and not be like the "Friends Of Distinction" "Going In Circles"... Ozenfinest you're way too young lol. Go to YouTube....

Again I happily agree that we can disagree and respect each other opinion. Your assumption is I havent been around Ozen long enough lol. I'll only go back to 1966 when Beaumont Hebert won state. I'll step up to 1967 when the schools intergrated. From then on Hebert had some great knowledgeable assistant coaches. The community never had a problem with the coaches due to their skin color. In 1973 we had a former Forrest Park assistant defensive coach Gary McKee that was solid. So not being around Ozen is somewhat not true. Yes he'd be the first head coach and so was Durley at WestBrook. Thanks for your analysis,i enjoy your unique enthusiasm...jmo...

I cant see very well, no intent to be offensive by the over-sized font.

You are correct in your assessment in part. Hiring PNG coach would be a huge step in solving the '"Woes'"that has lingered way too long. I have expereienced no indications or received no vibes that there would be resentment towards a coach based on the color of his skin. I honestly think the content of his character would prevail over the color of his skin. A competitive/winning program would cure any concern about skin color.I dont share your view that the suffering community would that biased in 2016. We need to stop settling for the quick fixes. It's great we can agree to disagree. This would be the right change. WestBrook didnt believe in Coach Durley's hire from the outset and all he did was build a solid program that the community was proud to be part of. Just win baby...jmo...

Ozen-Ozen,Smh stick a fork in me i'm done. The man behind curtain #1 seem to have made the recommendation/decision to hire from within BISD, thats from a not so reliable source however. It want surprise me if this prevails.The band aid fix wins out. Same song same singer is the front runner. I need some Jack Daniels to go with my popcorn. What a catastrophe.

West Brook varsity spring game@ 4:30 today was cut short due to inclimate weather(lightning). However WB looked like WB huge O-line abundance of players(Varsity) Approx.(70). Offense appeared to be ahead of the defense.

I hope you're in error. The PNG hire would be what the doctor ordered. If that person behind curtain # 1 blocks the hire he should be forced to retire. This is 2016...Remember The Titans...

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine there is a problem and where it lies. Behind curtain # 1 is the culprit.

It's pathetic that the Administration/A.D. have procrastinated until the eleventh hour to do anything constructive to solve the vacancy at 5A Beaumont Ozen. Hiring from within the district and not opening the position to applicants outside the district is like putting a band aid on a serious injury.This quick fix will satisfy some and in two years this cycle will more than likely repeat itself. Just do the right thing and hire PNG O Line coach. I havent heard any community members express anything negative reference this possible hire.

Sir if you would explain "outside the district" I assumed PNG was in the district.

It's pleasant to know we can agree to disagree.I'm going out on a limb and say BISD should hire the PNG O Line coach. "If" they are sincere about fixing the anemic football program. If not continue to play games with the quick fixes the one and dones,2 and throughs.There's only one remnant of the Ms L regime that would attempt to block this for fear of success at Ozen. Campus Admin,Posse,and booster club members would be doing a disservice to reject this coach. "Remember the Titans" !!!... In Reverse !!!
