What makes you say that? 

Because they we went to the Regional Final? That is better than what they have been in about 20 years. Make sense?

Good thing is that football is doing better than it has a while. As long as the football team is winning, the rest can sort itself out whenever. Similar approach to what Newton and Carthage use (football 1st, everything else after).

In your opinion. Many others would disagree.

The subject was the overall athletic program. Not just football.

Yep, things are going great as long as football is good and track holding serve. Anyone know how Newton is doing in the other sports?

About the same as they have always been the last several years. They are good. I wouldn't say they are better or worse though.

Regional Final in football overrides all the other stuff. Track holding serve is a reflection of the football program. Good times in Jasper. Can’t wait to see how they do this coming year.

In these 5 sports (volleyball, boys/girls basketball, baseball and softball) Jasper went a combined 2-58 in district play. Winless in volleyball, boys/girls basketball. One win each in baseball and softball.

I would say that things overall are not better than the last several years. Particularly in basketball and baseball.

What about track?

And why is it that AD's in our neck of the woods are HF coaches?

Because football is what matters most.

I could talk forever about this..  I have quite a bit of first hand knowledge about the way kids feel about this subject.  I don't agree with the kids when they want to quit one sport to "focusing on one sport" but understand reasoning why they quit especially in JR. and SR. year... 

Keep these two things in mind. It you agree with these two statements then you can understand:

• Multi-sport kids should be pushed to play what they want to play...
• Kids should be never be mandated to play any sport..

All repercussions fall back on the AD... It's the AD's program.  If they mandated it, the AD has to take responsibility.. even in accidents...

• Good AD's know how to navigate multi-sport kids. They inspire the want to play.
• Bad AD's do not and cause tension inside their entire athletic programs.. this is when you see kids that contribute in one sport quit usually after 10th grade year.. 
• Really bad AD's have caused so much damage that the kid quits being a multi-sport athlete (quits football) after his 8th grade year. He never even gets to coach them in high school.

Again I could get very specific but not gonna. 

 

 

Good ADs "win in football".

During the previous regime, only 12 teams missed the playoffs in 10 years.  Last year only 3 of 8 made the playoffs and this year only Football made it. 4 times all 8 made playoffs. 5 if you include COVID year. I worked with Coach Crumedy for several weeks in the spring of 22 when he first got the job.  I am sure he will get this turned around, unless they are losing kids.

The football team made it to the Regional Final. Things are better in Jasper than they have been in many years.

I also have an issue with the Ace at your school throwing 80+ pitches on Tuesday night then throwing 300 footballs on Wednesday.  It’s not just Nederland.  

Cry me a river. No one is "throwing 300 footballs".

I get all of the arguments, but part of being the AD is doing what’s best for all of your programs, not just football.  And it’s not best for the baseball program for one of its best players to be hurt doing football drills right before the baseball playoffs.  There are things he can be doing to get ready for football that don’t risk injury.   And I also stand by the opinion that the football coach would not be happy at all if the kid got hurt in the middle of football season at a fall practice for varsity baseball. In fact I’d bet a whole lot of money that that player wouldn’t be allowed to participate in that baseball practice to begin with.  I think a lot of the people that are okay with this would also be upset if the situation and sports were reversed, because they’re only really worried about football.  But that’s just my opinion. 

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.

Where did you find that info?

You would think you would want to tell people that info. They talk about his degree but nothing about being a OC.

Nederland, Tx — – Nederland ISD is proud to announce the new Athletic Director and Football Head Coach. After an interview process including several qualified candidates, Scott Rich was selected as the new Athletic Director and Football Head Coach. Rich has served at Katy High School in Katy ISD for 8 years as the Assistant Football Coach over quarterbacks. He holds a degree from The University of North Texas.

 

So, he "knows how to call plays"? Well done. 

8 minutes ago, pine curtain said:

To a point YES.

You have 3 coaches that have never called a play at the varsity level.

Big difference in calling plays and making sure the punt team get on the field.

It is all good until it is not

You assume they “have never called a play”. I have not seen many coordinators operate without input from their position coaches. The position coaches generally have headsets and are in on every aspect of the game. I have also not seen many “key” position coaches who were not capable of “play calling” at anytime. 
 

If a position coach got promoted to coordinator it is because they are fully capable and have been heavily involved in all aspects of the game and game planning.

So Nederlands top 3 guys have never been a coordinator or head coach

Let on the job training begin......

Because, if you were not a coordinator you will not understand football? Position coaches across the state participate in the process with coordinators. I suspect Nederland will be perfectly fine.

Is the other candidate that got passed, a secret? Trying to understand the secrecy. I thought it was common knowledge.

Not sure why they’re able to do it now, but we delete them as soon as we see them.  It’s a pain for sure.  

Do you think our personal info remains secure? I am not an expert in this field 

What is going on with the daily hacks on the SETX forum?

Nederland’s district will see PNG, Lake creek finishing One and two. Huntsville probably 3rd. Nederland over west fork for forth. Nederland could possibly beat huntsville for third go bulldogs 

WF will contend with Splendora for last place. Nederland will be competing with Dayton and Huntsville for the 3rd and 4th spots.

hopefully Newton gets back to lights out defense. We have won state the years we have been a complete team. Good defense, good offense, and a QB that can throw the ball .   Lights out defense gives the offense more opportunities to score. Defense should be better this year. QB is a question for me this year.  We have a lot of good players coming up.   
anyone know if they have replaced the coach or coaches we lost.

 

Agreed, a”lights out defense” definitely gives the offense more opportunities to score. I have even seen scenarios where a “lights out offense” helps the defenses. 
 

Have also noticed that many State Champions frequently have a “good defense, good offense and a QB that can throw the ball”.

I think you missed the point 

Understood, FBM "donkey stomped" Nederland this year by "2 points". Would hate for Nederland to continue getting beat like that with no hope for the win.

Nope they aren’t. 

Then I don’t suppose Nederland will get a “donkey stomping” from Marshall.

Its not the offense,but the kids you have running it. As enrollment drops so does performance( in most cases, there are a few exceptions). PNG has 219 more kids in high school then Nederland.. you cannot put Joseph at Nederland and win district must less win state. Nederland will be better because they have a lot of returning starters but they will struggle to make the playoffs.    
By the end of the year the Nederland coach bashing club will be howling again. 
Nederland coach was told last year by adm. that his job was secure if he made the playoffs.   
They lied   
get ready for another donkey stomping by PNG next year. Also Ft Bend Marshall, lake creek,etc.. 

 

Is Nederland playing Marshall in their pre district schedule?

Not sure what he is going to do at BH but I would say (my opinion) that he moved on to increase the visibility of his daughter.  She is one of the best athletes Liberty has/had and one of the best young basketball players in the area.  She is a pretty good volleyball player too, but I think basketball is her best sport by far. 

What's odd is for some reason I thought BH was 5A, but they're 4a D-1? Have they ever been 5A or am I thinking incorrectly? 

You are indeed “thinking incorrectly”. BH has been 5A for several years
