That's a long ride on the yellow dog.

Neumann built a program, he didn't win in a season or two, he built a culture of winning and formula in the offseason with minute details that made it happen. Barrow led the implementation of the program and knows the formula. He was also a 3 sport guy in high school and led the girls softball team to the state tournament so I know he has an appreciation for all sports, not just football. He has shown the ability to adapt the offense to Nederland's personnel, shifting in and out of different forms of the spread and even spending time under center when the personnel dictated. What he did with Nederland's offense last year with the revolving door of young injured QB's says about all I need to know. There you go, thoughts on why he will be successful as an AD and head football coach.

Wow... just Wow...

True leaders and real men dont get their value from attention or having people fawn over you. Neumann proved to be a focused leader, that is why his teams won. He was able to get them to focus intently, as a group, on a common goal, and work like heck to make it happen. Right now, he obviously has other things he needs to focus on. We just need to give the man some space, but it has been one helluva ride.

Hard to believe the Superintendent would put out a message on the NISD website like they did if this isn't confirmed.

Ned has voted down new schools twice, they were not both in recessions when the economy was bad, only the first. They just clearly are not going to do it, so I agree shouldnt be spending big money to attract a new coach.

JM???

Stat, you have offended no one from Nederland with this truth. These are the facts, this is the direction I hope we move in as well... for all the reasons you perfectly laid out.

There is a lot of bad information here and poor speculation. Glad to hear Crommet is not retiring. Spell is not in his 70's and is coaching this year from the last I heard.

Is it a legal requirement by uil or something to have a masters?

This is true, dont have the money

The Athletic Director position requires a masters degree at a minimum?

WOS had a very dry spell by their standards when Thompson left the first time, this was under the Hooks reign. Make no mistake, Thompson has been the reason for their dominance the past 30 plus years.

You can't You just can't leave Jack Dallas and KJ Miller off this list, but like WOSGrad said, they aren't playing to be on this list... something much bigger.

Dang Barbay picking in his backyard again.

I do think they need better balance of touches for others to reduce the chance of injury going forward. He towed a heavy, heavy load which he carried well, but that opens him up to injury. I think that is more of the balance needed. He is a special football player no doubt.

I think there has been lots of very good and real explanations in these 3 pages.

What in the world does this even mean... Tavian Mayfield doesn't post on this board to my knowledge. What do you mean by the guy like to see how he ranks against other kids playing the same position, what in the world?

This was part of my point earlier in this thread. Even WOS has had fairly lengthy droughts where they bailed out in the 2nd round territory. Difference is at WOS, that is considered a drought, where other programs rightfully see that as a banner season. I still go back to the fact that the thread was focused on WOS success due to the current senior class and their unbelievable run... it's just not realistic to make this 3 year run the standard.

For several years there, WOS was as human as the rest of the programs in the area, I'd have to look at the playoff history. I'm not taking anything away from their status as this area and one of the state giants, but don't get confused with what this group of seniors has done. What this group has done is on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT level in my opinion. WOS has a great tradition and a great program, but this group is just something else.

That's what I was thinking, not a knock, but looks to be more of a 4.6 guy when I saw him play. He's plenty fast, just was wondering about the 4.5 which sounds like a quick finger on the clock.

4.5... okay.

He is the master of downgrading and underestimating and disrespecting schools... fails to see where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole... and at time when the whole is considerably less productive than the sum of the parts.

Sounds like a real ball distributor

What position does Flagg play?
