Feel really really bad for that Razorback left fielder.

That would never have happened if their short stop turns two instead of getting the lead runner out at third. Game would have been over.

After farther research the board found out Williams was actually related to one or two of them.

Because BISD will not allow a new coach to bring in his on staff they will only be able to hire hometown boys are retreads like Stowers. United will never be successful until they allow a new coach, with a good resume, and not homegrown, to pick his own staff. Beaumont has the talent to be really competitive but if you don’t bring in someone different to stir things up and bring in a new perspective. Your just going to go through the same ole routine.

PNG wasn’t there this year. That’s why the attendance dropped.

What’s the score?

It’s borderline nuts that PNG ISD does this for a HS football game.  Does Nederland or any other district also do this for long distance away games? 

Yes they do. It’s about the busses and having enough to bring all the kids that need to be there. 

Not taking anything from Silsbee because they are a good football team. But, Westbrook should be totally embarrassed. With all the talent that is in Beaumont they should be blowing lower classifications out. But because they can't hire the right coaches the talent moves on to other schools.  Westbrook needs to bring back the old New Orleans bag heads. The administration is a joke. Their AD could not even run a Junior League organization. Supposedly when they hire a new coach they are not allowed  to bring in their own people. They are told they keep the same staff that is already there.This should open some eyes as to how bad the BISD has become. They need to drain the swamp and get people in that can turn the whole thing around from academic level to the extracurricular activities. 

Along with having the worst $200+ million quarterback in the league. That is the worst deal I think any team has ever made. Dak hasn't done anything to deserve what he got and backed it up today. You get paid like that and you better put points on the board every time you hit the field, Have at least a 90% pass completion rating and not throw any interceptions and no fumbles. Now he is for sure the most over rated QB in the league. You can say what you want about his stats and all but stats don't win playoff games and Super Bowls.He has proved that many times. That playoff game last year was the worst debacale ever. He said it's not about the money. I didn't hear him telling his agent to just get me signed as soon as possible regardless of the money.

Kirby Smart had better get a handle on this very guck or he will start losing recruits because some of the kids parents will refuse their kids from going there because there evidently isn’t any discipline there.

Georgia is quickly replacing Miami as Convict University.

I don’t think Schloss and the AD (Trev Alberts) saw eye to eye. I think Alberts came in and is wanting to cut some of the spending that was about to happen in the baseball program. Just what I’ve pieced together from things I’ve read….I believe Schloss will be very well taken care of at UT.

I'm not butt hurt about anything. My son played before he got to PNG. I just know what the situation is and he shot hisself in the foot.

Congratulations to Coach Carter he is a great coach and is like a second dad to the boys. He is a great man and loves his players even after they move on. He tries to keep up with all his ex players who moved on to the college ranks and there were a bunch. He is also a great Paw-Paw(IYKYK). Good luck on retirement Coach.

For now… 

From my knowledge of the situation he want even be considered for the job

It is official that Brandon Layne is the new AD/HC.

They are voting on the approval tonight. Still haven't heard any names yet and heard this from a coach that's on staff there.

The announcement could come as early as tomorrow. Not sure about the names of the two that it came down to.

Lol.  Seeing as the admin building is directly across from the stadium I doubt it.  Also Katy’s old stadium wasn’t anything special either.  You don’t like the facilities?  Put in your own money or vote for a bond.  Stop running down the program. Those facilities aren’t the worst in the state or even this area. Either that or move your butt somewhere where you like the facilities and then you can gripe about the tax rate and the cost of housing.

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.

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.

Just had to have someone with Katy ties. Just like their big brother.

They are just starting to interview 12 candidates Monday. Not sure how many applied.

Were you around Nederland in the mid 2000s? Just curious? 

Yes, I was.

Didn’t they pass a bond that included some athletic improvements?

Yeah, you know how many times that bond went to vote and got rejected? They had to adjust it and take things out and lower the original bond. They were trying to get a few more new schools built but it got shot down so they just patched them up to make it look like they were making an effort to update them. NISD is not an easy district to get a bond passed so the kids suffer.

The fact the Nederland is using Dodge to help find the next coach tells me they are serious about improvement.

They are saying they are using these three is nothing but a smoke screen. They have probably offered all three the job but they are all smart enough not to take the offer. First off they all would take a major pay cut but most important is they would have to put up with an incompetent administration who doesn’t do anything to help improve the athletic program when asked. They leave it to a bond issue where it has a slim chance it is going to pass……..What coach with any kind of clout, HC, OC, DC or other, would want to put up with that and be at the lower end of the pay scale?

If he wanted to coach again, then why isn’t he at Nederland?  

I know you are probably being sarcastic but, that shouldn’t even be a question. Everybody knows Nederland is not going to pull in a high quality coach. Facilities and an administration that doesn’t care about athletic’s and a community that makes it tough to pass bonds to upgrade anything is not a very attractive job. Plus they will not pay the money that will be required to get a good quality guy. If somehow they convince another guy like Neuman to come in. He won’t stay long when he sees how tough it is to get anything done around there.
