Anyone hearing anything about applicants? Surely there have been several by now.

Unfortunately for PNG, that seriously good class will be seniors during a new coaches transition year. Thats not to say things can't click, because they can, but typically it takes a season or two, including off seasons, for a new program to be fully installed and implemented.

Hoping the best for PNG! 

 

 

Malone came in and took a 1-9 team to go 12-2. It can be done.

to name a few without deep thought:

Very experienced: Coached at multiple levels, knows how to adjust due to players abilities, Very knowledgeable about multiple sports, has many collegiate contacts to help player recruitment.

Personality: very approachable to community and kids, honest, full of integrity, high level in intensity, knows how to communicate well, knows how to lead by example, kids respond to him.

He knows the community and how it operates(very important at PNG).

 

 

 

People are forgetting,  this group of upcoming Seniors next year are SERIOUSLY good. Definitely better than our typical classes coming through. I have a feeling whoever they bring in as coach will be successful. These kids are players and this group has a lot of heart.

Really?  so he was at Rayburn and the record gets worse over the last three years?  There should be some improvement especially by the second or third year.

Not necessarily. These kids get killed. Sleep on floors or couches if they are lucky. Drop out. Become homeless..Get arrested. Etc etc etc. At these schools it's more about graduating these boys from HS. Not every program is as lucky as PNG or schools in our district. Believe me. It matters and the records reflect absolutely ZERO of the coaching talent David Satcher is. ZERO. PNG would be lucky to have him. State Champs Lucky!

If you're not him, you're his mom or best friend.  And you can't NOT take into account someone's record as a head coach.  I'm willing to take into consideration that a program might need turning around, and that a coach might need a season or two to implement his program and see notable progress.  But when a coach takes over a 5-5 team, goes 4-6 the next year, and then in years 3,4,5 combines to go 1-29, you better believe I'm taking that into consideration.  All this "heroic" nonsense is laughable.  He only coached at Eastwood for one season.  if helping out those less fortunate kids was the goal, you'd think he would've stuck around for awhile.  You can't really take credit for working in the squalid conditions (under-privileged, no weight room!) when you dip after one season.  I'm not really at all sure what's heroic about taking over a 5-5 rayburn team.  The guy who replaced him and took over his 28 or 29 game losing streak the next year and won two games seems more "heroic" to me.  

Not even close.

For the record, I like ProtonMail, too. Great email service. Very useful in Austin politics since it doesn’t track IP addresses and can’t be tied to individuals who wish to remain anonymous, or at least impossible to conclusively identify.

The casual observer may not understand why that’s relevant to this thread, but it’s relevant to this thread.

 

No comment LOL

Records smecords. He is coaching at Rayburn. And coached at El Paso. Tell me what Clear Lakes Defense did when he was there? I get it. It's a measuring stick BUT, Satcher would win state next year with this group of kids. Sure we all want a coach who has coached 50 years and is u defeated and has win 50 state titles. Where the man is coaching does have to be considered and like it or not Nick Saban couldn't have a winning record at either school. Satcher is the man for the job.

I believe David Satcher is now the DC at Splendora.  In 2021, Splendora went 4-6 overall and 0-5 in district.  The defense gave up 291 points over 10 games.  Not exactly the 1985 Chicago Bears.  I'd tap the brakes on the Satcher to PN-G discussion.  But, I enjoy reading the comments in this thread, so carry on.  Peace.

P.S.  If you don't like the 2021 season, no worries.  Splendora went 4-7 overall and 2-3 in district while giving up 318 points in 11 games.

For "not being him" you sure have all the deets about him.  Unfortunately his coaching record is going to be a nonstarter for a program that's used to winning records and going to the playoffs.  Well, maybe not.  They just ran off a guy who does that.  Maybe they're looking for a guy with a heart of gold and connections to the program from way back.  If so, you, i mean he, might be the man!

I'm definitely not him but I know special coaches when I see them. And, I just might know a small amount about football. Sometimes.

In all seriousness,  you can't take into consideration his records at EP or Rayburn. Not even remotely close to what we have at PNG or pretty much any other school in the state. Heck, it's heroic to even take those positions. Coming out of Clear Lake HS as the defensive coordinator,  beating Katy in their heyday,  he could have went anywhere he wants and he did. He brought positive influence to some less fortunate kids.

The folks who know, know. Satcher would be a phenomenal coach. Talk about a treasure hiding amongst the weeds. Better get him here if you can. I'm telling you.

Don't be fooled. Like I stated earlier.  El Paso didn't even have a weight room. Rayburn is not much different.  These kids are more concerned about if they are gonna eat that night than football. He's fed many a kid in his time at those schools. Mark my word. Satcher would sweep the floor with ol big Ned. 

Defensive guru. Mike Leach smart. Im telling you. Don't sleep on him.

Is he friends with the super. &/or school board members?

He is a 1990 graduate. Played on the 89 quarterfinalist team.. Grew up in Groves. I'm sure he knows several of the SB members. He's chosen to take on some REALLY less fortunate programs including El Paso and Rayburn. Has a heart for underprivileged kids. But, don't let any of it fool ya. He's a phenomenal coach and super intelligent. He's been very successful while at programs that had any kind of talent. Heck, in El Paso they didn't even have a weight room. I'm sure he'd absolutely roll at PNG.

Time to bring home David Satcher!!

Coach Satcher begins his 6th year of coaching at Lake, and has 12 years of coaching overall. He has coached at both the high school (Woodville, Brazosport and Bay City) and college (Northwester State University and Texas State University) levels. Coach Satcher grew up import Neches, Texas. His favorite saying is �never mistake activity for achievement�. According to Coach Satcher, the most important thing to learn from playing football is �working together in a group, having the experience of bringing diverse skills together so they fit into a single unit working toward a common goal, one in which everyone dose his own job�. The highlight of his time at Lake has been Region lll Championship game victory over Katy. He and his wife have one child, Alina. Coach Satcher also teaches P.E.
