    Yes. He was offered by Central Michigan at the end of last week.

    Yikes. Another young coordinator will get his first shot to go 1-9. Where's Smithey heading?

    This is absurd and completely false. We are thrilled with Allie McDaniel leading our volleyball program and girls athletics. She has already made a tremendous impact at PNGHS and we look forward to her working with our girls for many years to come.

    Just for the record, No one owes anyone else an explanation for why they made the decision they made. The admins in charge were hired to make decisions based on their best knowledge and for the success of the program. They are not required to explain, in detail to the community, why they did what they did.

    He didn't account for the '18 season that the Bulldogs were 12-1 and could have easily gone farther barring injuries to key players.

    It was no defence that hurt Rusk. Barrier’s stats were good.

    He actually had a pretty solid year for a sophomore starting in that district. I can assure you, it hasn't hurt his recruiting at all and that will only improve with the move back to the Wack.

    This is an easy one. We have let grifter unqualified coaches infiltrate our children and convince them that they will be D1 athletes if they only focus on a single sport. We've got kids, with single digit ages, playing their sport year-round to "maximize exposure" despite the fact that most college coaches on the recruiting trail will value a multisport athlete. This translates to the school year and ends up with kids being football, basketball, baseball only kids. Track is pretty much the only one left that keeps kids playing other sports and that's primarily because football coaches demand their football kids be track athletes. I literally talked to a man last night, who just moved to Texas from Oklahoma who was telling me his kid played on two different football teams during the season last year. One for his school, one for his select league. During the week the kid was a RB for his school, and on the weekends, he was a QB for his select team. This would equal 7 days a week of full contact football for a 6th grader......6th grader. Once that ends, rolls straight into 7 on 7 for the spring and back to football in the summer. All this for a kid, who seems to be a good athlete, but probably has a ceiling of D2 at best, if he doesn't burn out before that. Parents are silly and think they can develop their kids into being the next Quinn Ewers, but they completely miss the biggest factor in creating that type of athlete.....genetics. Genetics are undefeated. Always have been, always will be. Play sports because you love to compete then compete in everything you do. Quit giving bullsheet rings to "state champions" every single weekend all over the US and get back to valuing team championships won at the community level to build the continuity when they are young. This is the only way to reestablish the pride once felt by every kid in every town across Texas when they got to put on a uniform with their school colors. Otherwise, we can kiss the magic of high school sports goodbye.

    The AD's job is to win in football. Everything else is window dressing. If the football team is winning the rest can go up in smoke.

    Yes, the new bulldog jersey should have “don’t hit me “ printed on it.  Nederland could start a powder puff league.

    Dayton could NOT have made a better hire.
    This could quite possibly take Dayton back to where they were with Stewart, a perennial playoff team with the potential to make a run. 
    Very impressive after the last few "buddy" hires.

    Foster will still be the focal point of the offense, just from a more dynamic position. He will benefit greatly from the addition of Jr and Dayton could be very very good very quickly. Especially with Prieto getting a jump start on installing his system by starting on March 4. Fun times in bronco land!!

    Ok , we will take him. He can fight it out with the Crosby transfer 😂
    just messin , but I think 14.2 is right unless the Dayton QB is heads and tails above them Jr. will start for the Broncos.  
     
    goodluck and I hope he stays to contribute.

    2wedge reacted to Cougar14.2 in Dayton Hires Jerry Prieto as HC   
    I saw some of his highlights if he was the varsity QB last year? Crosby had a stud ‘27 QB that transferred to BH because of little Jerry. He’ll be the QB and Dayton will be better for it. It’ll be his 4th year in the system while the other kid won’t even know where to line kids up. I’m a tough critic of coaches playing their sons but little Prieto is legit and then some.
