So PNG and Nederland play "SissyBall"! Awww....c'mon man, that's a cheap shot at the fellas that dress out each and every Friday night!

Does that mean if PNG Doesnt get Stump then no one will show up to the games? I feel sorry for whoever your coach is going to be. He is not going to be given a "Fair" chance because of you guys that have this man-festation for Stump. I am all for you guys getting excited about a particular coach, but he hasnt even applied. If this was who the board really wanted, then why have coaches apply at all. At least let Stump turn the Job down and then have applicants apply. Instead you have Coaches apply and have them travel for interviews, but you want to hire someone that didnt apply? It doesnt make sense to me, but then again I never understood the obsession PNG has with itself anyway. Awwww....the "negativity".......NEVER ceases to amaze me! First of all, only a couple of people on here are getting THAT excited about Stump as you say. Each of the applicants come with thier on credentials that should be given a 'fair' shot at the job. Could be Garrett, Faircloth, Danaher, who knows.....BUT one thing for sure.....THE STANDS WILL BE PACKED WITH THE FAITHFUL THAT BLEED PURPLE AND WHITE....THAT....YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK! PNG...."SIMPLY.....THE BEST !" To watch Football or Boxing in the Stands? Awww...the "negativity"! NEVER ceases to amaze me!

Ok, then that leaves Garrett, Danaher, and Faircloth as the top vote-getters?

Yankee, you got that right! Heck, there will probably be folks hangin round until midnight, talkin bout the game! BTW....the new scoreboard at PNG is AWESOME ! And, thats not even a good adjective to describe it! PNG......."Simply the Best!"

Dang....another good one! (I hope so!)

Ok, I have to give you that one, Ex Ceauxch.......the "elecricity" that night would be OVERPOWERING! And, since it will be at the NEW "Reservation", get ready! Man, I can't wait til next year.....WHOEVER the board decides will be our HC/AD.....its gonna be excitin!!!! I-N-D-I-A-N-S, Scalp 'em, NDNs, Scalp 'em!!!! (sorry, got carried away a little, there!)

Agree, the board has their hands full on this one, but looks like, whatever they decide, PNG will come out the winner ! PNG>>>>>>>>>>>Honor..........Pride..........Tradition..........CONTINUES.....!

Actually, this sounds like a good idea to me. Of course, ONLY PNG folks should be allowed into the forum.....sorry, fellas!

They are losing alot this year. I guess because they are losing a lot this year, the chance to coach a 4A team, and the increase in salary would be something to jump at. From watching the vids, I can see that LH has a huge fan base like PNG. Vance's record at LH is GREAT!

I "speculate" that he would like more money for retirement! Either that, or he would like to go back to LH and say, "this is what PN-G is offering me, can you match that?" Hey Young Coach, do you know how old Vance is? He looks to be about the same age as Danaher. From what I'm seeing and hearing, the top contenders for PNG HC/AD are Garrett, Vance, Danaher.

Watched the vids and seems like Vance has a good thing going at Liberty Hill. Does anyone know or can speculate why he is wanting to leave Liberty Hill for PNG?

Unless you you experience MCM by going to the game, there will be doubters. I would say close to 14,000 people being there. The electricity in the air that night is UNREAL! "Friday Night Lights" should have been based on MCM in my book!

Hmmmm...... ???

Good evening, everyone. I see the conversation is "lively" as usual. I don't think PNG is "racial" at all, by any means. As far as never having an African American coach, maybe none have applied, or if they did, credentials came into play. Ok, PNG not releasing the list was a heated debate. Now, PNG HAS released the list, and like fresh meat thrown to a pack of wolves, the applicants are being scrutinized. Added to this, the argument that some think PNG is racial! C'mon guys, its ok to disagree, but not be disagreeable. We're all grown folk here, lets show some respect. And, Craig Stump.....a GREAT guy whose ears must be burning off from all the talk about him. Whether he applied or not, does not matter. The PNG board will make the ultimate decision and we will ALL have to live with it! Now, draw the line in the sand and lets all get along!

Now that is FUNNY! Subliminal message and all! ;D ;D

LOL !

BigPoppa thinks Garrett is related to me : ! The misinformed masses !

Sorry, to bust your bubble BigPoppa, not family with Garrett. Just making an observation that his name is being kicked around a lot. Nah....been here at PNG for a looooonnnnngggg time, had never heard of Garrett before this. Now, I have talked to Danaher in the past.....so, hmmm....maybe he's family. I've talked to a few buddies of mine and they've done more research than I have and seem to like Garrett, Vance, and Danaher. Me, I'm neutral, but want the right guy for the job. If it's Garrett, I'll trust my board to make that decision. I don't really know Garretts past other than what I've read on here, but I'm not going to fault a man for wanting to better himself in his career, do you?

They are the top three along with Brandon Faircloth. Agree

I agree completely. Like you, KDO, I've sat with kids time and time again. I teach Algebra II/ Calculus, and have done my time with students preparing for the TAKS. It appauls me that a school district would even consider this action. WOS is academically acceptible, right? "Extra-Curricular" activities are those activities outside the realm of a students everday classwork. TAKS is a measurement of what the student should have learned if the TEKS had been taught correctly. This part I agree with....however, I stand my assessment that not ALL students are "test-takers" and should not be punished for being as such. If I were a parent, I would definitely be calling my school board on this.

As an educator, I don't agree with this decision. I feel the "no pass, no play" rule should strictly be based on daily subject grades. There are some great kids out there, that do well in academics, but are not "test-takers" and the vice-versa is true. I've had very smart students that just could not do well on a standardized test. If this decision is passed, it will hurt ALL extra curricular activities, but the main emphasis will be on sports.

I know this kind of thing takes time, but I sure wish they were hurry up as well. Like everyone else, I want who's best for PNG, and for the applicant himself. Just tired of the drama.

If the board makes a decision before Feb. 10, do they have to announce it, or do they have to wait until then to announce it?

Not sure about Faircloth. But, I still think Garrett, Danaher, and Vance are the top three. A buddy of mine said Garrett interviewed yesterday and it was an impressive one. Havent heard if Danaher and Vance have interviewed yet.
