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?

Ive seen the Mcain video & he is in the wrong & punishment is what i expected,but im sure if the whole game video is seen im positive there are more guilty ones from both sides involved in this.

seems so. Still no solid reasons why Coach Barrow is a good candidate as anyone for Nederland job,after several people stated reasons why barrow is legit. I would love to hear the reasons like i stated a few days ago my friend "reagan" is more than welcome to pm me,text me,call me or even better meet for a burger to enlighten me on this subject on whats best for my kids & nederland, i will pick up the bill.

Most of your comments are against Barrow & current staff & soundly for an outside coach & change. If its not personal why all the negativity towards the coaches that built a quaility program? Its about facts & results with me on Barrow & current staff which have been apart & helped build a solid program from day 1. Once again all u say is the home cooking bs which is weak as your belief that hes not qualified to be in charge of Nederland football. If its not personal why you so concerned to take a chance on Barrow,but all in on an outside new coach? If anyone wants whats best for nederland then anyone with any common sense & football knowledge knows Barrow & current staff are qualified & at the top of any list.
