Hopefully Big Ned will make a change soon
If not we will continue to see bad football at Nederland 

I don’t think the penalties that caused the Indians possibly 2 earlier TD’s and a dropped pass were caused by coaching. I would say very good coaching when you are 15-1 with the loss being the 1st game of the season. Remember SOC’s only 2 losses were to DeSoto and Duncanville who are playing in the 6A state finals

Love watching the Indians and hope they make it to state again and win it this year. They are playing well
My only take after watching the 2nd half vs Huntsville is that the offensive lineman did not block very well , so the running game was poor that half well that half.  They will have a size advantage vs LH, however they are going to have to block much better to get the running game going.
I did not see the 1st half, maybe they blocked better in that half

Hope the Indians continue to play well

If this is the case and they keep him, they will continue to play poor football 

I understand that in high school football, some years you get a stronger talent pool than other years
The concerns I have the past 2 years are based on the leadership 
1.  I see a total lack of discipline.  In fact I would think that they lead the district in penalties, especially personal fouls
2.  The fundamentals are just poor.  This shows me that the majority of the coaches are not teaching fundamentals and technique well.  Examples- the offense averaged 7 points vs the good teams they played(offensive line was not coached well); the defense gave up an average of 39 points a game(they were slow, did not tackle well, and the secondary was non existent)
3.  Way too much whining and complaining to the officials by the coaching staff
In my opinion,  if they Keep Barrow, he needs to hire assistant coaches that coach
I know most of the players are trying, however as I have watched each game, probably due to how bad they have been these last 2 years, it just doesn’t appear that they are trying
Finally, I am afraid if they keep the current staff, the results will be the same next year, maybe 5 or 6 wins(according to who will be in the district)

Here are some reasons to let him go
As I watched each of their games
1. you see a total lack of discipline 
2. the position coaches do a lousy job of     teaching and preparing their players to perform at a high level
3. The majority of the coaching staff are simply excuse makers

LC players are also in HS along with all the other teams players. You either compete are you don’t. Unfortunately Nederland did not tonight

Good news Nederland is in the playoffs 
Bad news they are 1 of the worst 5A D2 teams to make the playoffs in the State
6 losses giving up an average of 39 a game and scoring an average of 15 
4 wins against teams with a combined 15-25 record and 6-22 in district 
Lake Creek probably anywhere from 42, 49, 56 points
Bulldogs probably 0, 7, 14 points once LC puts backups in

PAM will be 1 and done. May have been the most overrated 5A team in the state!

Lumberton has some very good assistant coaches and just about everyone of them I have talked to does not like the HC and would love to see him leave. They say he is not a good AD and his football knowledge is weak
They are winning because of the assistant coaches and talent

Both coaches have to agree on officials So they get the crew they agreed on
If they can’t agree the crew is selected by the UIL
cant blame the game on officials, PNG is just a much better team

Nederland has beaten all the weak sisters they played this season with the exception being WOS when the defense shut it down in the 4th quarter. The weak sisters are done and now they finish with good teams, so I believe these next 3 games will have a very similar outcome as the Silsbee and PAM games where it wasn’t even close

Pretty simple Rangers have a good hitting club and your pitchers can’t get ahead in the count, your going to get clobbered 
what a lousy series of hitting by McCormick, Maldonado, Peña, and Tucker
at least 1 team from Texas in WS. Hopefully they will win it

I am thinking PNG 35 or 42 Nederland 7 maybe 14

This year PNG in a blow out

Nice thought but rest assured it is not happening. Nederland loses to PNG and TC
They simply can’t get it done on defense and special teams and I will be very surprised if they score more than 7 vs PNG and more than 14 vs TC

If this happens and Marshall wins out Nederland will be the 4 seed at 4-3 in district That means Dayton loses to Marshall-3 losses and TC will also beat Dayton
PNG 7-0
TC 6-1 
FBM 5-2
Ned 4-3

Yes, probably need a drug test on the poster that stated Nederland’s defense is better than PNG’s. It is not even close. PNG plays defense and Nederland does not. For the poster that thinks Nederland is getting better, he is right from how they were last year vs this year, however saying that, their 3 wins are against some very weak teams and Marshall had scored a total of 7 points vs PNG and TC. Again Nederland’s defense isn’t close to PNG’s

AggiesAreWe
