End of 1 - WB 14-9

Hiring a coach not on the list so he won't get into any trouble?? NAAAA....not him....Wasn't that the reasoning to keep the list hidden??? Any side deals going on here? Maybe Philip Klein is right? ???

Thewman sighting?

I have a feeling this is going to pass, meaning for students to participate in sports, choir, band, drama, etc, they have to pass the TAKS. If not, they are done for the school year. Busing won't be as big of an issue if this passes.

LC-M had a former coach and current journalist apply.... The semi-pro guy needs not to embarass himself. Maybe the are working on a side deal with a coach not on the list.

Nope...that's Tom...Thanks for the kind words...Glad everyone watched. Great job with James for having the guts to put this type of forum on the news. PN-G was asked if they wanted to be on it, give a statement or response. Know that as well. I'm done with it unless they hire off the list.

It was supposed to be "informal"....LMAO...Gabe showed us up even tho he was a homer....!!!

Then post he makes about 99,000 per year @ Calallen....I know more than you think.

He won't....heard the stadium there my be named after him..really interesting!

Yep...Brad Pitt T-shirt!!! LMAO

In his 60s...applied for Victoria job a couple of years ago...Ran the wing-t. Remember WO-S beat them on a miracle play in the Dome in 2000 i think.

It's Danaher's to lose...if they hire off this list, then some questions will needed to be asked.

Plenty to talk about believe me...Danaher...how much fire left in the belly? REMEMBER: The new coach may not have had to apply........

I did the research on some of these names....PN-G did not provide this information regarding previous employment so don't pat them on the back! Kevin Barbay - former Nederland QB; former Kelly ast; now @ Texas A&M-Commerce Fred Bolton - you guys know this name...former Brazosport ISD AD, Bay City Darrell Andrus - AD/HC Flour Bluff HS Paul Baird - FW Saginaw QBs coach Frederic Camp - AD @ Mexia B J Carlton - ast Fort Stockton (i think) Huey Chancellor - HC Bellville Lonnie Cook - Taos, NM head coach Jamie Critchlow - OC @ Texas A&M-Commerce Philip Danaher - AD/HC Corpus Christi Calallen Brandon Faircloth - off coord Permian Chris Garrett - ast @ Duncanville Chuck Griffin - QB coach @ Georgetown HS Jason Holman - ast @ Jersey Village Robert Howell - Hidlago assistant or the guy fired from Zachary, La HS...Former McNeese assistant??? Bob Jones - HC Aldine Lonnie Judd - OC @ Waco Midway Chuck Langston - former HC @ Univ of Cent Oklahoma...fired for major violations Mike Long - Leonard McAngus - HC Justin Northwest Jeff McCord - Jeff Mayfield - Kristopher Micheaux - HC Gonzales Chris Morgan - ast @ Westfield Ronald Poehls - Def Coord @ Georgetown HS Mike Rabe - HC @ Ganado Danny Ramsey - ast Mansfield Timberview Byron Sanford - ast @ Nederland David Satcher - DC @ Clear Lake Paul Smith - Brent Southworth - was HC @ Santa Fe Rock Stanley - ast @ South Garland ISD Carl Straube - OC @ Mathis HS Jerry Vance - HC @ Liberty Hill Joe Volentine - HC @ Waxahachie

If they hire today, tomorrow, or yesterday, the list HAS TO BE RELEASED. I have a feeling it will come out sooner rather than later.

Port Neches-Groves on notice A publicly funded entity should not be operated in arrogance and secrecy but that is precisely what is taking place in the Port Neches-Groves Independent School District. This past week, Board President Russ Brittain and Superintendent Lani Randall made the decision to flagrantly disregard a legal precedent established by the Texas Attorney General by refusing to release a list of applicants for its athletic director/head coaching position. Brittain cited privacy concerns of the applicants but the attorney general ruled in OR2000-0335 that applicants for athletic director/head coach positions cannot be withheld from the public. The following is a quote taken from the the ruling that is directly on point to the information that PN-G ISD is trying to hide. “This office has previously concluded that the public has a significant interest in the names of applicants for public positions and these names are not confidential,†stated Yen-Ha Le, assistant attorney general, Open Records Division, in 2000. The Examiner even provided this ruling to the school district but Brittain and Randall still chose to turn their nose up at open government. Some have said that Brittain’s most recent actions are status quo and that PN-G ISD is notorious for cutting backroom deals out of the public eye. That might be true and it certainly makes one want to look further at the way PN-G ISD is operated — something The Examiner vows to do. But what is happening here is that PN-G ISD has its sights set on a particular candidate for the job and, come hell or high water, it is going to get him. To say the fix was in from the beginning would be an understatement. Regardless who the applicants are, Brittain, who was the 1970 PN-G ISD class president, and his cohorts are going to do whatever they want. The rest is just window dressing. This type of secrecy cannot be tolerated and it is the job of the media to ensure that any public entity is held accountable for its actions. That has always been The Examiner’s commitment and it remains so today. Despite whatever Brittain and Randall might think, the names will eventually be released— they are only delaying the inevitable. In the interim, they are showing their true colors and giving the public and the media even more reasons to suspect dirty deals in other areas of the district’s operations. At present, PN-G ISD is tasked with spending millions of dollars in taxpayer money as part of a bond initiative passed in 2007. The first item of business was for the district to spend millions of dollars constructing a new football stadium and installing its second scoreboard in as many years. If the school board is being this secretive about a coaching contract that pays less than $80,000 a year, one has to wonder what kind of secrets the board is hiding regarding its stadium construction.

Will be soon guys...the date will be changed...hang tonight...major changes.

Fox 4's James Ware reporting it was suicide. Story link

The crazy thing is if they would have abided by the LAW, the list would have been released and we probably wouldn't be talking about PN-G right now.....

Someone asked James Ware not to release his list because they are not sure about joining the panel!!!!!

I will never defend a ranking. Hayes is a player. Hayes needs to step up and takeover games like he is capable of doing. He's not very vocal but you don't have to be. He'll be fine but needs to get a killer instinct.
