The school board does NOT make the hire, this is run by the Superintendent, period

No doubt, Nederland will hire Barrow, this scenario wont play out

All I know is I dont want to face Bmt Central with Barrow at the wheel. Im sure they will work their opening to allow that possibility if Nederland fumbles.

Thats why some of these people have ZERO credibility

So he had solid credentials and was from Nederland... wow, I didnt know that was possible.

So was Derouen considered an outside hire because he wasnt at Nederland with Hurt??? Some are arguing he was a good ol boy hire and an outside hire... it gets confusing when people are all about boxes and not results

I can see PNG, Central, PAM, Vidor, etc fans wanting to go outside and break it up. Why Nederland fans would want to is a real head scratcher.

It's ironic to me when people from Nederland... don't think anything good comes out of Nederland... except them I guess. Can't be good quality people come from the good ol hometown, must be politics, can't be anything else.

It is no where near the attractive job some perceive it to be. Land locked, no growth, limited financial support from the community...

How did they draw interest from Fla/OH if it was not posted effectively?

And the Superintendent didnt require it.... for good reason. Maybe she can use it for justification to keep the salary down and save the district money, but obviously didnt think in good conscience that it was required.

Im sorry, but what in the heavenly hosts does a Masters have to do with running an athletic Dept. Im sorry, but that doesnt compute with me. You either have real life experience organizing and managing a large group of people or you dont. Masters Schmasters.

I would guess the backups at most Katy schools would have more tools and capabilities than Nederland

Im not against Simmons, but I find the irony in the desire to bring him in because hes an outsider... its funny to me anyway. Especially when he working for a former Bulldog, Don Clayton. Its just funny that people don't think anyone from their home town is worth a ****, I guess like that prophet thing in his hometown from the bible. Its a mind block, mind fart, that Ill never understand. We're okay with the guys from Nederland running billion dollar facilities at these refineries, but lead the athletic program... heck no, not qualified. Like I said, the irony is freakin rich for me. *Mod Edit*- Language

So you're saying this isnt Texas???

Will be highly suspect if you can do better in the current Bmt district environment... doubtful.

This isn't Indiana, this is TEXAS

This should be over quickly, Barrow gets the job or the Sup has a lot of explaining to do. There's nothing here to keep you from moving this program in the right direction it has been on. Dont screw this up.

This will NEVER happen, English gets it and my bet is Barrow hops

And still smoked Central

Like Central and their current string of outcomes against Nederland's staff???

There should be savings in salary with the new football coach / AD versus what Neumann was being paid. Give English a nice bump, he deserves it based on performance, but leave the position as HC football / AD... everybody wins.

I can't imagine many football coaches looking to take a program anywhere will bite on not being the AD. This is Texas, Football is King, that's just the way it is. Setting ourselves up for failure if not.

Wonder if he'll bring his boy with him if he gets the job, heckuva center.

As the dominoes fall to fill this position, it will be interesting to watch the dynamic as Nederland also works to fill it's opening. Very interesting to say the least.
