A BUC 77

We'll see.  

InWell he was vetted by some football savvy guys.  If they didn’t think he’s got what it takes he wouldn’t be there.  Nothing in sports is certain but so far so good in my opinion.  

I heard it was a lot of rice and gravy.

I went.  Seems like a very motivated man. He seems determined to change the attitude and culture. He stayed until everyone got their turn to talk to him and all of their questions were answered, even though it was his daughter 's 13th birthday.  Then he went back to Katy for that.

I like him already and I haven't even met him.  Everyone must buy what he's selling. 

Any updates on Coach Rich's plans, hires, fires, type of offence, defense?  Is there any chatter about the kids being motivated?

Altuve deserves it.  He stuck it out during the lean year's starting in 2011.

I see greatness in Dubon.  Hopefully I’m a profit.  He had a great start last year but settled down.  I would like to see him more than a year.

Congratulations on your new stadium.  I remember listening to a dog in the back yard behind the visitors stand some 40 years ago.   Great memories there.

One of my favorite cowboys.  Not just because he was from here but the way he played and carried himself.  

I like what he said in the interview about he is approaching this as the last job of his life.  Hoping he makes that very important connection with kids in all sports.  I know Nederland will back him. 

Defensive coordinator will be crucial decision.  

I kinda hope he changes to a pro set offense.  Huddle. Tight end.  Etc.  It may work well.  

Heck let’s give a call see if he has a couple more years to beat up on png.

If you would spend 5 minutes with Neuman you would understand why he was successful.   Motivativator.  Kids would run through a brick wall for him.  Plus he had Delbert Spell on defense and Monte on offense.  He knew what position the guys needed to be and when to press the button.  If it didn’t work well he’d pull some trick  play out of his pocket.

Barrow was calling the plays.

Something needs to happen because thread is going nowhere fast.  Let me just say one thing.  If you bring in the right AD/Coach the athletes will follow.  Then the fans. 

That's 90 on the bench.

The hits just keep on coming.  

Big Ned, when they get back in their prime will be the fast paced, complicated spread offense they used to be.  Write it down son.

I definitely think it sped it up.  You know. keeping up with the Jones.

Is there any update on a time frame? 

Well good luck Monte wherever the road takes you.  A lot good memories.  I sorry it didn't work out in the end.  My highlight was watching you and your son together after upsetting big bad Pearland Dawson in 2012 at Reliant.

I understand.  Wasn’t familiar where everyone lives I guess.  It’s hard to put a finger on it.  But I don’t think it’s the culture.  The stars have to align to do what you guys have done the last couple of years.  First was the coaching change.  Then a right group of kids buying in to what this staff was selling.  Matching up   to their opponents.  Nederland just needs a similar string of events.  The culture is there we just needs to wake it up.

Hmmmm.  Well  my comments aren’t to the thread starter but to the ones who question the culture of Nederland.  If we had an equivalent coaching staff to PNG we would not be state contenders.

Wow.  Y’all won a state championship and everyone congratulated you.  Now it’s time to rub it in our faces.

From the early part of the game, there were no calls on both sides.

.

Need to mention Oceguera, the kicker.  4 FG is a record.  Fantastic.  Would not have gotten the W without him.

I forgot the defense.  Holding all those D1 guys. The onside kick may have been the play of the game.
