    I'd be curious to see a list of schools in Texas where the AD is the Basketball Coach with a list of the football teams' win/loss records.

    It's easier and more efficient for a school district to just evenly distribute funds between schools in the same ISD.
    I don't necessarily agree with it, but I understand why.

    Regardless of whether it's a current head coach or up-and-coming coordinator, having a plan/system/program in place is what's most important. 
    There's a lot to be said about prior head coaching experience, but there's something to say about an enthusiastic, young coordinator who's hungry.
    Going to be interesting...

    The defensive coordinator would be a great hire. No matter how many points they gave up, the year before they had one of the better defenses in 6a. He has done a good job in the head coaches absence and not to mention the kids love and respect him.

    Larry Neumann was a great coach and motivator of young men and an even better person. I have always admired him and respected him. Nederland is my second favorite team. Even though I grew up in an era were you were supposed to hate Nederland I could not because of the other family members who played there. Nederland has lost a SETX icon. One of the top coaches in this area ever;. He took Nederland to new heights. Yes I know my Nederland history and heard about the Knights of the Neches and so on as my grandfather an astute Indian fan also went to Nederland playoff games and was there when they won state. Nederland will be hard pressed to find someone who could possibly fill his shoes. I see haters on here every year bash Nederland, yet even them agreed that Neumann would get the absolute most out of his kids. Below are a couple of memories I have of Neuman led teams. #1 Nedrland vs Friendswood. I believe this game was in Houston somewere possibly Rice or one of the nicer HS stadiums in Houston. Nederland pinned FW back deep on the kickoff and stuffed them on defense. Then Nedrland proceeded to beat a team they were massive underdogs to. Nederland vs Pearland I believe it was in about 2012. Another shocking Nederland win over if I remember right was the top team in the state. I remebetr watching Nederland beating future NFL QB one of the McCown brothers Luke, or Josh. Nederlands defense intercepted him 5 times in the area round of the playoffs. Seems like a Baycity game were Nederland had beaten them after losing to them before.....  Anyway thought Id share some of my memories of Neuman led teams.

    Never good for a football program when the AD is the Thump Thump coach. Nothing against Brian English, he's a quality guy.

    The Icon reacted to WOSgrad in Former Lamar HC Ray Woodard applies for BISD AD   
    If Coach Woodard were seeking a coaching job, I doubt it would be at the high school level.
    But despite my earlier off the cuff comment, the BISD AD job probably makes some bit of sense to him.  I saw that his wife had a recent health scare and while that turned out well, I could see him him opting for a job which could have him at home more.
    Also, it doesn't really hurt that the guy who hired him at LU sits on the Board of Managers.

    The Icon reacted to Uncle Pig in Indoor football facilities in Texas   
    We can go ahead and call WOS an exception to the rule, considering they're the only setx team that's peed a drop in the past 10 years; those 3 indoor facilities in this area are barely big enough for my little girl to play with her dollhouse in. I encourage you to Google the facilities of the teams that were at AT&T(class 4A and up) this past year; not just indoors, but weight rooms, alternate turf fields, etc.
