Actually Owen’s was a DC under RT…. Steve was the OC….  Newman applied for the HC job at TJ when Owen’s left. Marler got the job….I believe Neuman was DC for Owen’s…. Slept since then.

Neumann was around 42 yrs old when he was hired to be Nederland AD|Head football coach 

Really don't have one. Just don't know much about him other than what was printed in the article.
I was a little surprised he was as old as he is. Thought NISD would go with a younger coach but that may not mean anything.
I haven't seen the applicant list so really cannot say who was the best choice.

Sounds like a shot in the dark hire from outside looking in, but I guess as long as the Bulldog faithful are happy and kids buy in, that’s all that matters.

Hoping for a new DC and OC, I will say as a former player that some of those coaches deserve to stay. They really do give a crap about the program and the kids. I don’t even think Nederland can afford to clean house.

This is a big one tonight. East Chambers needs this win to stay in the playoff hunt.
Buna can clinch playoff spot with a win.
 
I'll be courtside for this one and will provide updates.

First off, I don't live in Nederland and never have. Second, I played many games there and coached some games there. The new renovations they are making are the first they have made since even before I played there in the 80's. They are way behind times and they are just now trying to update things. But with the lack of revenue and citizens afraid of their taxes going up. It's hard to get a bond to pass to do the upgrades that are definitely needed. It was a shock to see the bond that did pass to get the renovations done that they have. I know a lot of people that live in Nederland and wish they could get the upgrades that are needed and not just patching up schools to make it look like they have. I'm just saying, if this coach sees that he can't get what he ask for he won't be there long.

Seven year clock starts right now !

According to the articles I've read this guy hasn't even seen the athletic facilities he will be working in. I hope he isn't expecting much because if he is he will be very disappointed.

I know PN-G is a football school first and foremost - 28 district titles, 16 seasons with ten or more wins, ten regional titles, eight state championship appearances and four state titles speak to that - but we really are blessed with an embarrassment of athletic riches at PN-G. The baseball program has made four state championship appearances and won it once; three of those appearances and the victory have all occurred in the last 25 years. The softball team has made two state championship appearances, both in the last 25 years. The volleyball team is 3-0 in state championship games. For most of the last fifteen years, both the boys' and girls' soccer programs have been major regional powers, making regional final appearances several times. If I recall correctly, there was one season where both teams made it to the regional final. We've fielded two or three state champions in various track activities plus a few dozen more state track meet qualifiers, and are always competitive in powerlifting. We used to be a real power in tennis. Sports-wise, basketball is really the only area where PN-G has consistently underperformed.
Add in all the academic accolades - the years of blue ribbon designations, thirteen straight district titles in UIL academics from 2001 to 2013 and several consecutive years of dozens of kids advancing to regionals, a handful to state and one kid winning a gold medal in creative writing at the state UIL meet. For several years, PN-G offered more dual credit hours than any other local high school, Kelly included. And then there's the performing arts. The band has made, what, four trips to the state marching competition? Straight ones all but maybe three or four seasons since the UIL started holding regional marching competitions 50+ years ago, plus how many different awards from local marching festivals and competitions? Not to mention the hundreds of PN-G students who've achieved all-region and all-state honors in band and choir over the years, and a very competitive theater program. There are whole hallways at the high school lined with trophy cabinets filled to the brim for the different performing arts groups.
Football is king at PN-G, but there are many, many more reasons to be proud to be an Indian.

You know Nederland only cares about 1 sport only. Everything else is second fiddle and poor every girl sport in NISD… 

True that, maybe change is in order there too.......

The Bulldog basketball team appears to doing what the PAM football team did at the end of the season and that is fold the tent. The Bulldogs better get it together A couple of losses this week and they may be sitting at the house along with PNG

Gold Star post of the month. 3 thumbs up👍👍👍

Post meeting lunch was at Redbirds...Golf cart parade and post signing party at the Wheelhouse.
 

rumor has it that rich will be new coach but buying house and sending his kids to png🤣🤣

my opinion,only an opinion,the coach doesnt matter if the players and community does not buy into the program..

I don't get why in bold. 

Shoot I remember back in the mid 90s kids that couldn't make it at 5A Baytown Sterling would transfer to BH to be able to play. One ended up being all-state in 3A I think in football and baseball but couldnt crack the lineup at Sterling. My have things changed.  This was during the 5A district that had Lee, North Shore, Sterling, Central, West Brook, PAJ, PNG. 

Not to add fuel to a growing fire or anything, but I would just like to point out that PN-G's higher level of property wealth per capita versus Nederland, owing to the former's more industrial tax base, also means PN-GISD loses substantially more state funding than NISD to recapture, better known as "Robin Hood." When all is said and done, the net per capita funding disparity is not as significant as one might think, and nowhere near as significant as it was before the Robin Hood plan was put into effect a little over 30 years ago.
It is also worth noting that Maintenance & Operations funding (i.e., money for day-to-day operations) and Interest & Sinking funding (i.e., money to pay off bonds) are two separate streams of tax revenue for school districts that are assessed as separate line items on your property tax bill. To PhatMack's point, the latter is totally dependent on the structure and amount of the bond proposed by the school district, subject to rate caps and other mandates imposed by the state. I doubt there's much, if any, difference in the overall cost to the individual homeowners in PN-GISD and NISD over the lives of their respective bonds after inflation is controlled for, or at least little difference attributable to anything other than differences in the total, inflation-adjusted costs of the bonds.

The bonds are the big issue.  Yes PNG has more money, but they also spend it wisely and the community is behind them.  
 
Nederland is spending $32 mil more than PNG on the last bond.  PNG got rid of 2 schools (which cut overhead) and built 4 brand new state of the art schools.  
 
Nederland wouldn’t get rid of 100 yr old “historic” buildings because someone’s great grandma went to school there.  Instead they piece milled 4 old schools together and it looks awful.  They did get a new HS and 3 connex boxes for a press box though for $32 mil over what PNG paid.
