Yes they were standing next to the coach ready to get back in. No Nederland players were injured. They were just not in the game at the most crucial moment.

With just the talent that Nederland has yes they should win easily. But with Scott Rich making the calls its a 50% chance that they could lose. You know by having most of your key players on the sideline in the 4th quarter on a crucial drive with no explanation for why they were out.

As long as the bulldogs have Scott Rich as their head coach they will always have a 50% chance of losing to teams they should beat easily.

From what I watched Nederland could have beat them by 2 tds. As a full team yes they we're equally talented. Crawford coaches just stopped using what was working for them.

That is also apart of the problem Nederland is still living in the past while everyone else is passing them up. Having a system is good when you have the kids to run that system. Good coaches adjust their system to the talent that they have at the time. I'll come back to this post in 2 years after these kids have graduated, so we can see if that is still the case.

I’m sorry but it doesn’t matter how long Rich has been here or how long he’s going to be here his success will only be determined by the talent he has at the time. His first year he was senior heavy team and it paid off. Last year was a down year but 3 of those games were winnable it just came down to coaching. Now this year and next year he has the talent to go 2-3 rounds in the playoff but that’s to be determined depending on coaching. I’m routing for them though.

I don’t think they will score that much even though it is possible, the coaches are to focused on clock management.

Me personally I don't think he's done anything wrong, but this type of situation happens in college all the time. The starter get hurt and if the backup comes in and plays good he deserves to continue playing unless he either gets hurt or just has a terrible game. I'm pretty sure the same situation happened to PNG the same year they won state. I wouldn't be surprised if they play both I don't think it's that hard to hand the ball off 100 times a game.🤣

First off your way off topic 🤣 but secondly I can agree with you as far as kid that show up and work their tails off and perform during the summer and spring should play. “THE TALENT IS THERE” I’m speaking on the coaches putting kids in positions to maximize their ability, play calling, not playing the best kids, or having them in the game at the same time. Does that part fall on the on the kids also?

I would hope not at least not for now.

We've always been behind the kids. It's the coaching is what's in question😄

Tough decision but shouldn't you want to stick with what's been working? The past 2 games the backup has managed the game pretty well and made some good throws when needed. Making that switch could mess up chemistry that they've built!

I can agree with this!!

From what I hear this year will be one of the best groups of athletes Nederland has had. The question is will the coaching staff be able to put it together to make a run.

I hear Nederland didn’t renew his contract and this is possibly his last year as head coach. “Depending on season outcome”

I've heard Rich has was putting in for some of the vacant jobs around texas but got denied by 3 schools.

Worked out better than the season Nederland had so i would say he made the right choice at the moment.

The Nederland Job was Brian Morgan's but he turned it down for a chance at a state title. Then Rich was the best option for the pay!
