The thing is they can’t because they all eat at the same table.  And this has been this way since the 90’s.  So he will never go nowhere 

I have no doubt whatsoever that Nederland could be just as good as PnG with an equal coaching staff. That’s what PNG’s experiment shows - Success at this level isn’t genetic. It’s not about just “having a good crop of boys this year.” It’s coached, created, engineered, taught.  The encouraging thing is it doesn’t have to take a long time. Nederland seems to have replaced Neuman with a “rah rah” coaching staff hoping their boys will simply out-gumption the other team. This year especially, the lack of teaching is obvious. A new coaching staff could come in and say, “Every single thing you’re doing now, we’re going to do differently.” A year from now we could be talking about a completely transformed, terrifying Nederland team. Granted, PNG’s current staff inherited a solid, well-coached, enthusiastic Faircloth team and built from there. Nederland might need to get some kids back into the program, but once that happens there’s no reason a great coach can’t make it all work. There’s no difference between the PNG and Nederland players - Half of them were probably born in the same hospital. This is all the result of deliberate coaching choices. 

I’m a Bulldog for life, but if that was to happen, let me just say PNG would possibly be STATE CHAMPIONS.  Seriously no district in their right minds would not like to have a RB of that caliber.  I feel if they get a new coaching staff maybe thinks will turn around, they can’t afford to lose any players to be honest.  I don’t see him leaving though.  

I agree, I just wish they would have utilize him and other players in the right way.  I wish them the best in playoffs.  Meanwhile you stay on your side of the track and no more talk of wearing purple 🤣

His speed would be killer in the playoffs. Scary. Especially paired with Chatagnier’s bruiser-style running. In Mid County Madness, I almost found myself wanting him to get more big runs just because it’s cool to watch that level of speed and agility. But (and not to kick Nederland while they’re down) there was hardly any blocking for him. He was on his own, and the confusing part is some of the plays seemed designed to put him on his own. No Rb can overcome that. 

I totally agree with you.  But what I wanna know how many you think coming back after this.   This is how our district loses good and talented kids.  These kids wanna win, but you have other people pulling strings behind the scenes, cause my buddy son and my friend son need to play.  Until then I HATE TO SAY IT NHS will not get better.  

You are correct to a  point Honestly the coach’s didn’t want to win this game you have 3rd and inches and you wanna do a screen pass with no blocking at all last night.    So what’s embarrassing is when you don’t put you kids in position to win.  But Hey they have year right??? 🤷🏻.  

Nederland will be VERY good next year. I PROMISE U!!!

I like what you have stated.  It's easy to complain but hard to offer solutions.  But there's the rub.  People have differing opinions on what the problems are therefore they have different opinions on the solutions.  My thoughts on the problem is well documented.  I'm just trying to decide when the best time to make personal contact with the Superintendent and board members and express my opinion.  I suggest anyone that feels the same way I do make the same contacts and express those opinions.  And to be fair, if you don't think changes need to be made then make the contacts and express your opinion.  
PS -- Just to reiterate for everyone here -- I'll never blame the kids!!

They question is what changes need to be done to correct some of these issues,  yes we all have opinions @spidersal, but what needs to be done for them to win?   I think each kid has a certain talent that can be contributed to the team,  are they young? Yes but leadership starts at the TOP ( coaches).  MY OPINION IS it’s not about the kids no more, and that goes to any other sport.  If you never put in a position to win then what you expect.  I put my whole life savings if you get new staff with a desire and passion for the game, you will see a HUGE difference and this is speaking from EXPERIENCE!!!   Sooo let’s talk about what changes need that needs to Happen?  

Been around Nederland sports since late 80's, cousin played db on '88 team David Walker. My wife is a '87 Ned grad. met her in '96, married in '97. She's a 30 year great NISD math teacher at C.O. WILSON JR. High. 
Nederland coaches know me, personal friends not so much, maybe 1 might say he likes me, most of the school coaches probably don't care for me from my non participating role in the sucking up program to get kids playing time. 
Had a few nephews play football & baseball for Nederland High(2008-2015), 2 sons play football\baseball & basketball(2015-2019) & 2 nephews in 9th grade playing football\basketball & baseball rt. now.

Now who is you & what is your connection\concern with Nederland Football, What say you, Reagan & Spiderman?  
 

Whatever you tell yourself to make you think it is not an anger & bad emotional problem you have with Nederland coaches & players to consistently & constantly post they are not good at any area of football the last couple years, Spidey. It's all good tho, it is just kind of hard to take you seriously & understand this weekly negative beat down of only Nederland, when other local teams are bad also not knowing why or who you are to even care so much about the Dawgs. Like i said before I will be on the visitors side at home games, at the top, next to press box scoreboard side if you ever need to get this Coach Barrow\Nederland hostility off your chest or just talk football or sports in general. Myself & the SETXSPORTS community is here to help curb your negativity man.
Sincerely your football friend,

Well, here are the facts.  
Nederland lost a good part of their upper classmen due to whatever reason.  They are relying on sophormore (15-16 yr olds) to toe the line.  Coaches are in unfamiliar territory here.  They're doing the best they can.   I've watched most all the games.  Are there bone head mistakes.  Heck yea.  But they are going out each Friday night and competing.  They know they are not making the playoffs.  But they can't wait to put on that gold helmet with Old English N on it.

I remember people doing that in school so the crawfish boil could start earlier than scheduled

This is not a representation of our athletic program.  They need to make changes  this is not building these kids confidence.  Kids quitting a sport they love, this is actually destroying the program. ITS TIME

Nederland needs a change.   This is pathetic.  

I hope they open their eyes and see what’s going on!!  You can see it on the field clear as day.  I been around a lot of coaches in my day and let’s just say it is definitely time to Clean UP!!! 

@NHSBulldogFan and @bulldawg64 I talked to #13 parents and they were waiting on a MRI results, I seen his mom at the game last night and she said he go back this week to get results 

Well at this point, it’s all about building towards next year.  Congratulations SF.  You’ve got a good team that has determination.  
It’s hard to have heart when you’re getting beat up.  I thought this QB would come around but without a ground game, he’s getting keyed on and just throwing the ball up which is not good.  He’s not having the chance to get better.  Bad part about it is the schedule is about to get tougher.  God speed sophomores.

I think playing those tough teams  earlier in the season helped the bulldogs improve a lot, they still young and with time and experience, I have no doubt they will be a great team.   QB did a great job, been watch him play for a while, he knows how to look for the open receivers, and can tuck and run like he a RB if need to, love that about him.  13 is a great RB it looks like he’s barely running but the kid can move.  He hard to bring down once he start going. And @PABornI think when 13 knock the safety on his back that was Big dawg mentality 😂😂. But as for that he also still young and with experience no doubt he too will be a beast.  The o-line played a heck of a game blocking and getting holes open.  Bryant RB played very well last night He ran the ball strong and looked good doing it.   That defense did good too, just the secondary needs a lot of work. Overall if they continue to work hard!   There is nothing but winning here on up!   Congratulations Bulldogs on your win!!

Big game for the Dogs.  A lot of mistakes still, but they overcame a little adversity in the first half.  That's what I liked.  Willowridge made some big mistakes as well.  It wasn't all that pretty of a game.  Having a strong running game will help that light passing game develop.  Work needs to done on the secondary.  The guys in the trenches (on both sides) looked good.  They should be prepared for Dayton.  

Great team win , the dogs will be just fine

That’s the Ned I know.  For those who counted the Bulldogs out, maybe you counted to soon.
Good luck Nederland going forward.

I agree I would add the Center/QB exchange to the Bad List
