Is that a done deal? You would figure that people would want to open it up and do a better job of vetting this go round?

Has anyone filed an FOI to reveal a list of applicants?

The rumor is circulating but nothing has been publicized

Anything else occur at some board meetings last night...

Pretty sure he’s being sarcastic

I’m going to say you’re fooling yourself if you don’t think that some of those piney woods kids are deciding to play at Carthage instead of Timpson, Garrison or Beckville.

Barbers Hill will not win state in football at the 5A level, with or without Westerberg

Matt Stepp seems to think they’re going with a current Houston Area Administrator.

Red and White Cougar?

Good for his bank account Pretty sure that Kountze is the better job, and that’s saying something

Is this hearsay or a done deal?

I don’t think anyone on here is going to speak ill of Joubert’s efforts. But we’d all be fooling ourselves if we sat here an said that Kountze is a good job. Especially if the AD title is not attached.

Didn’t there best freshman transfer to Silsbee this season?

[Hidden Content] I think because kids weren’t seniors yet, they played a hybrid JV/Varsity schedule. I don’t believe they were in a UIL district until this most recent realignment.

Nick Saban and Bill Belichick aren’t winning with the DBs and WRs running 40s over 5.0 and DL weighing in right at 200 lbs, regardless of effort or technique.

Not someone who shares half of your genetic material is it?

1. Agreed 2. Agreed 3. I want to see how they look after a full offseason with the current staff in order to develop a complete opinion

That dead horse has been beaten 1) Lydell Wilson was told he had to keep coaches from the previous staffs and certain ones as coordinators 2) Certain board members with no skin in the game were making those calls 3) Once the decision to choose AL as the first coach was made, it was spun as a “he’s done this before” type deal Am I close?

It’s safe to assume that this debate comes up for discussion every year around this time: Faircloth’s emphasis on offense vs a lack of defense. All things being equal, of course everyone would like to be superb at both. However, coaches have come and gone over the years, new schools have popped up around metro areas and the socio-economic landscape is ever changing all over the state. My question, as an uninvested party, is have any of the PNG faithful ever taken a look their own talent pool? Other than a once in a century athlete, most of the kids are your typical high school athlete. Some are bigger or faster than those in the their own class or school, but once a Marshall/College Station/Angleton come around - it’s the same story: Jimmy’s vs Joe’s. Just an outsider’s perspective, not an indictment on the athletic prowess of anyone’s kids.

Perhaps some tomfoolery via filibuster?

So, rolling into Christmas there are no concrete coaching departures from local schools, correct? Just rumor, inneundo and conjecture?

Who’d apply to be a 6A Head Football Coach and all that goes with it while only making $10,000 over base pay and teaching 2 classes? I would assume that the coach will be one of the lowest paid 6A Head Football Coaches, while being the only one teaching in the Greater Houston Area. My two cents

I think I that will be Arthur Louis’ job as long as he wants it or until there are serious issues in terms of behavior/grades/etc. I assume he’s viewed as a stable presence that won’t rock the boat. Perhaps I’m incorrect, but it’s an outsiders perspective...

That’s awesome West Brook - good for y’all!

Henderson beat a very good Crandall team - I pick Henderson by 2 scores No Lumberton hate - just my prediction
