KF89 I would agree with that statement...I just don't see the cream of the crop applying yet when no job description is posted (as to my understanding)...The "heavy hitters" so to speak would not apply till the ISD has something officially posted...People can talk all about this guy was seen or this guy is going to get it at Nederland...But we see where that went for the Superintendent job...Will a couple of the big names never really apply ...sure...just because they don't want their names posted on a list to hurt their current status...

No one is going to be walking around a campus like Nederland without a job posted...If a guy is doing that he sure isn't coming to coach...Maybe to work a summer grass cutting job...Come On Man...I mean if it goes in house then ok, but nobody going to be walking around campus right now with an in house guy at the top of the list without a posting...

What Senior local players have signed to play Football at Lamar? or is this posted somewhere to view...
-
I see two coaches here building programs the right way and should make for a good game to open up district...LCM with a more up tempo score in transition or spread you out style offense vs a BC team that should throw multiple defensive looks at the Bears throughout the game...I like what both of these coaches are doing with their teams and look to as if get the most out of the players they have on their squads...I say BC down by 7-10 going into the 4th quarter and make it a game down the stretch...Home court could give me a leg up here...

Could a new Offensive Coord. be named soon with additional coaches?
-
BIGDOG....Scenario #2 would not cost the school district more money, pending what the salary of (English or Spell) and (Barrow) would be in that case. If English...He would stay as HD Basketball, If Spell he would stay as HD Baseball....Those each would get a bump....Barrow then gets a Bump as HD Football hires a new OC and the money is about the same...
-
The scenarios I see for the hiring of a New AD/Hd Football or AD and Head Football goes possibly like this....In no particular order
*School Board decides no required Masters Degree, Coach Barrow becomes New AD/Head Football Coach
*School Board decides Masters Degree required, Coach English or Spell become AD and Coach Barrow named Hd. Football Coach
*School Board decides Masters Degree required, Full Blown open search for a new AD/Hd Football Coach
The last scenario is just as much at play IMO as the first two, reasons being the New Superintendent was hired from the outside when Nederland had (2) In-house long time Assistant Superintendents "In Waiting"...
Any other thoughts or scenarios?
-
Smith team is really nice from what I saw last year!
-
Anyone got updates on BISD feeders? Smith, Marshall, South Park etc?
-
I've watched them several times over the past few weeks...Being able to get out and score in transition seems to be key in past few games, guards handle the ball decent enough, don't think they shoot lights out how the have done in the past but different kids seem to step up to win games...Kids play hard...
-
From the teams that I have "seen" so far in games/tourneys, the below have some potential....8th grade...
ML King
C.O. Wilson
Groves
Silsbee
-
So what teams are looking good so far? What kind of talent do we have coming through the feeder schools in SETX?
-
I wanna give props to Coach Sterling, his staff and players for stepping up this season and doing something that hadn't been done in many years. Regardless of why Vidor wanted to make changes to their staff, BC has got em a good one that has put down a new foundation. Nice run for the Cardinals!
-
I've watched Buffalo play, they play at a very high pace and will let it fly...I don't see the diamond press of EC giving them that much trouble as some of the others have had....It actually plays into their favor of picking the pace of the game up...You have a great young coach (I'm partial as he did play for me) vs one of the best coaches in SETX History...Should make for an exciting match-up....
-
The buzzer shot was a classic...Proud of my former player Neal Welch (Buffalo HD Coach) and his players for hanging in there...The Bison play fast, get up and down the court and let it fly!
-
When I was up in Dallas coaching, the year before the MS coaches would send out a few emails and predict the best 6-10 teams in the area...Majority of them committed to a tourney in Richardson the next year...Always had the Top 8 or so teams that year...it was great for our younger groups to really see the talent in the area...Now days our MS barely even get enough games in to see if some kids want to continue playing...
-
Smith is definitely the best squad we (C.O. Wilson 7th) have faced in a while. They shot the lights out in the championship game of the Vincent Tournament when we faced them. I do agree with Brady B on the 8th grade squads...Look forward to the next few years of hoops with these ages...
-
What's the current status of the SETX Middle School Hoops scene this year...Who has the horses? What feeder schools are on the rise?
-
As for Coach Sterling and Vidor's New Hire Coach Williams I personally see them both as good coaches. Williams with many years in different places and Sterling getting his first stint under his belt. I watched probably 15+ games of Sterling over the past 3-4 years and I could always see a disciplined team working to get better....I also saw a few parents thinking they know more than the coach...Experienced 2 games where a guy (dad of a son) yelled "You think you wanna change your press break Sterling, it ain't workin"....When HIS son should have been the middle of the press break and couldn't "get it done"....Lets just say, he heard me from 20 rows back saying "The coach is in the right press break, the horses just can't get it done"...
As for how Vidor is doing in Nederland Fall League...I watched Nederland thump em something like 90-50 on Monday evening...Dogs had over 50+ by half...
Good luck to both coaches in their new homes...I will say that Sterling can coach period, I'm not as familiar with Williams...

I've got some 11/12 yr olds that are at CO Wilson right now...Will get your info from E tonight to see if we can hook something up

Looking for some 6th grade scrimmage time (Nederland- MC Flight) Monday/Thursday preference.

You know (Ned) will get those PA kids PA4Real....Time will tell... :)

I see about 3 or 4 names on the list that I think could do a good job for the Cardinals moving forward...The majority on this board knows that baseball is the driving force of athletics at BC and it shows...I would interview the following...Latiolais (former BC standout/Harvard Grad-Defense), Henry Cofer (DC Tarleton ,not sure why he is applying but guy can coach), Nolan Patterson (Deer Park OC) and other two local are defensive guys as well...I would interview these 3 and a couple other local (and of course the 1 they have hidden) and go from there...Its not rocket science..Looking for someone to buy in to a small local community and fight like heck to win!

Ganoush...Did you see "Athletic Ability is better measured in track and football rather than basketball" comment...hilarious...And by the way Proud Dawg...I have no (kid) in this fight...
Monte Barrow named new HC/AD at Nederland!
in High School Football
Posted
Nederland Administration....If they wanted to move swiftly on this could have already done so...Also..."If" they see it fit to require a "Masters" but do want Barrow as the Head Football Coach, then don't waste time...Do it...And allow any in house available Masters Degree Coaches (Spell/English) to come to the table if they want...We are not applying for the University of Alabama job...Lets sit down, decide the requirements and move on...Get to moving all programs forward and have New AD try and update some facilities at the same time...
