Ned Nederlander

You know that's the common argument that this division will even the playing field. If that's the case then how do you explain West Orange Stark? They kick everybodies butt regardless of if they are division 2, 1 or even if they are up in 5-A and I'll bet they aren't the only ones like that.
 

I love football as much as the next guy, but anyone signing up their 6 or 7 year old  for tackle football should have their head examined.

I hope the best for the players of each and every sport and I hope the best for each and every coach of every sport in the city of nederland.bottom line is not to many student athletes from nederland go on to make a living playing sports so all we can hope for is these coaches teach these kids a valuable lesson that helps them become adults and a future in whatever life brings their way,enough bashing let's just pray for a better future for every coach and every student athlete in nederland!!!

Too bad if it happens that way. I can see a 5 -5 record being a great achievement next year.

Not at all Nederland youth programs are winning championships against other SETX programs just a lot of the talent moves out due to lack of schools falling apart right infront of the citizens eyes and majority of the people do not want to invest in the future. 

Just my opinion. The  talent level might be taking a dip in Nederland the next few years. With that said, wins against losses don't always equal how good a coach or program you have. I just hope people can see that and agree when Nederland goes through a few lean years coming up. Again, my opinion nothing more. Monte is the right man for the job!!

it may not be 40,000 pay cut, but I would bet it is at least 20,000.  But if money mattered to teachers and coaches, they probably would not be teachers and coaches.

Great hire.  Monte will keep continuity in the program and not skip a beat while injecting a little new blood into all of the programs.  
I just hope that everyone that was this passionate about (gasp) potentially having a basketball coach as AD will be just as vocal and supportive about pushing for a proper bond issue that will upgrade all facilities (schools and athletic) in the near future.

And, I guess your comprehension skills were lacking in the first paragraph where I said the board and supt will not split the hires like you fear so much.  They are not going to allow that to happen.  
The paragraphs after that were not necessarily directed at you.

You do realize that they are not going to fill one without filling the other?  No way they announce that and get the board to vote unless they have coordinated with the person or people that they are going to hire.  
Plus, it is not going to be the end of Western civilization if the AD and HC is split.  Some of these people predicting the demise of the program and the entire community if this happens is utterly mind numbing.  Monte has no one to blame for this but himself if he is not AD and HC come Monday.  He has had years to get his Masters Degree and if he had, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.  (And I happen to think that Monte will be a very good HC if he gets the job.)
To say that Brian English would destroy the football program if he was to be named AD is ridiculous and borderline offensive.  Applying that logic, I would assume that all head football coaches that are also AD's are out to destroy all other programs.

What an idiotic comment.  I agree that Barrow should be HC, but Brian English is more than qualified to be AD.  If Monte Bartow is not named HC / AD, he will have no one to blame but himself for not getting his masters degree and putting himself in position to be Neumann's replacement knowing that he had the inside track.  
My God, I hope that they split the jobs just to be able to see the wailing and gnashing of teeth by some of you.  Because I feel quite confident that Barrow and English would have far less problem with it than some of you gurus.

The problem with coaching in 5a and 6a ball is that the larger cities(like the Houston area) have numerous 5a and 6a schools and the better players wind up going to a school that has a winning program. This leaves the smaller cities with only one or two schools at a disadvantage. This is why towns like WO-S and Newton can still compete.  Example, Katy has around 6 schools that are 6a, its amazing how this one school is heads above the other schools.   You could move Katy's coach to West Brook and Katy would still dominate. Are you could have one school like Allen with 6,380 kids. UIL has a problem. I don't think you will ever see a state championship in 5a or 6a in the triangle area again unless UIL changes things to a more equal playing field.
So, don't blame it all on the coaches.
 

You are incredibly stupid and one note, aren't you?

It was actually damaged at last year's spring game when a set of pads and helmet were dropped on it.

Nederland played hard all season with all of the adversity and injuries that they dealt with.  I hate it for the players that they are not going to be in the playoffs this season.
With that said, a certain unnamed head coach who failed to properly document a transfer and played an ineligible player against a team that we could have beat with our JV quarterback definitely deserved to be edged out of the playoffs by one point.  No, I do not think it was intentional cheating, but it was still careless and inexcusable given his experience and salary.  I really hope that he apologizes individually to all of the players (and especially the seniors) because they played well enough to be playing next week and they will be sitting at home because of a 'mistake' by their head coach.  If a teacher or administrator in NISD made such a public mistake, they would be run out of town in record time.

There are no dumb questions.  Just dumb people who ask questions.
