Yeah, might need to switch to decaf.

I am not questioning his ability as a motivator or as a moral compass for the kids, its obvious he is very good at both. My thing is as bulldogpower stated is being stubborn about the type of offense and defense that is run and not being open to changing or just modifying it. We see it every two years, the teams that come into the district after realignment have some issues with it until they get used to it, but the teams such as Ned, PNG, Central that have seen it every year for the last 15 or so usually don't have as much trouble defending it. The few exceptions have been the Quirante years and maybe one or two other years in the past.

Coaching is a big part of it. Nederland hadn’t made the playoffs in 6 years before Neumann got there and before that it had been 33 years. Ned went to the playoffs the first year he coached , missed the next two and then reeled off 11 straight and they are currently on another 11 year streak now. The point being, he established the expectation early and held the kids and coaches to it.

So that’s the excuse for the poor defense the last three or four years?

yep

Matthews started in 99 , i went a few years farther back to illustrate. Other than the Quirante years there hasn't been a whole lot of difference. 1976 4-6-0 73-167 Joel Soileau 1977 6-4-0 163-154 Ronnie Thompson 1978 C 8-3-0 197-164 Phillip Brown 1979 6-4-0 180-189 Phillip Brown 1980 3-7-0 167-187 Phillip Brown 1981 3-7-0 104-159 Phillip Brown 1982 5-5-0 144-158 Phillip Brown 1983 5-5-0 134-130 Phillip Brown 1984 6-4-0 173-118 Phillip Brown 1985 4-5-1 127-186 J.R.

And gave up 32 and 37 to two of the bottom teams in the district.

Bump

And... so it begins...

Nope. I ban people who break the rules of the board. Like implying that PNG kids are doing something without proof. Nice deflection try again.

It’s called deflection. They think that will make people talk about that instead of PNG.

Better make sure the IPads are charged up..

This thread sounds like a 2 year old trying to justify why he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. And trying to point the blame at someone else.

Correct. I will try to update the first post after this mess.

Ned took the forfeit and moved on, Ned posters weren't on here trying to float conspiracy theories or attacking whoever reported them. In fact they self-reported.

No, your out of the playoffs because you haven't won a district game.

Personal attacks on moderators are against the rules. Simple enough.

If Ned and PNG win this week it might set a record.

Been there done that.

Whoops. That’s what is get for doing this on a phone. It’s fixed.

Good game Vidor. Time to get ready for the Mecca, Dogs.

Good game Vidor. Another big game coming for Ned next week.

I updated it last night after the games it should be correct. Basically the playoffs teams are set with the exception of Santa Fe and Crosby they are just fighting for seeding now.

It’s fixed now.

I will change it
