Bottom line is the Head Football coach/AD hire should be about whats best for Nederland,Nederland Athletics, the football players & keeping the same solid program going for the next 25 years with Coach Barrow. If its about "good ole boy" ego politics,personal agendas, controlling the athletic budget to get more money for basketball or any other bs then the next 25yrs will be uncertain

It was

Whose sentiment? The few people with a personal grudge against Neumann,Barrow & Nederland Football? Does simmons have a masters?

What makes a better AD? 23 yrs learning the day to day job under an AD/Head football coach like Larry Neumann or the other options? Is this about controlling the hiring & athletic budget because some non football people believe their sports should get equal or more $$$ as football? Ive been to booster club meetings & trust me all the other sports do get taken care of. This should be about whats best for the whole athletic program & the best football coach for the town of Nederland. Head Basketball coach position is filled & program is in fine shape, no need to mess with a good thing right???

Monte Barrow has been for ALL Nederland sports his whole life. He's coached several different ones & I seen him at all the sports games the last 23 yrs.

100% fact if that happens

If nisd gives 2 employees both $25,000 plus raises when 1 guy can do the job like 99% of other texas isd's there will be major budget issues & with all other teachers who want raises...

Why do you think simmons will be picked over Barrow?

too much, for nisd

yes unrealistic if nisd is paying

Barbay is a good coach but he is as good ole boy system as they come...

Just curious who all posting for a coach other then barrow is a Nederland resident or has a kid in the Nederland football program?

I never said anyone said it, But some people think that.

If you think Head football/AD success helps passing a bond you are wrong. If Larry Neumann & his 23 year success can't convince citizens to help pass a bond for new schools & facilities what makes anyone believe an outside guy that has never been to Nederland or a guy who has'nt been apart of Nederland since they graduated going to come in & change the no voters to yes?

Still havent heard any valid reasons why Barrow is not the best qualified or a good choice? If Neumann & his system makes him go down as a great coach & legend in the nederland coaching ranks then how is a coach that learned from him for 23 years not a good hire? Only thing i hear is good ole boy system that exists everywhere. Even any new outside coach is gunna bring in some of his boys.

Amen my friend

No sir, my statement means I'll take neumanns backing of Barrow & what they both have proven at Nederland over Claytons lobbying of Simmons

Larry Neumann is behind Barrow & im sure lobbying on his behalf. This is the guy who made Nederland Football & athletics a power to deal with for 23 years with Barrow with him the whole time. I'm sure '75 grad Don Clayton & Simmons are great Katy coaches but i'll take Neumann & Barrows PROVEN Nederland results

NISD pay scale chart shows $1000 more salary to individuals having a masters. $1000 doesnt seem NISD thinks to highly of a masters degree overall?

Anyone have info on Coach Simmons?

The list speaks for itself. Barrow is best, most qualified for the position if politics & any agendas are not involved with this hire................

A 4-6 season isn't a broke program, a forfeit in a 51-9 win & 2 games with 35 yd missed field goals as time expired from being 7-3.

Promoting Barrow is far from giving it away,if any candidate has earned it its him & it will be a greater massive disservice to the school? Still waiting for the reasons why anyone thinks Monte Barrow is not qualified or would not be a good leader of Nederland athletics other then bs reasons.

The longer N.I.S.D. waits the more the program & kids get set back.The best applicant for the job has been coaching football & several other sports at Nederland for 23 years & even filled in as AD a few times

Is this a district susp. or has uil made decision also?
