McKenzie was at Nederland for 3 years Elwood Kettler was the coach in 1960. He was only at Nederland for the 1960 season.

The story's over folks time to move on

Also Baytown Lee would have been division I with a 1669

Under current enrollment Nederland will be division 2 The last team in for Division 1 would have been Ennis who turned in 1619 at last alignment. I bet Ozen will opt to play up in 5a again the only question marks will be the enrollment numbers for Livingston and Lumberton

Not much of an impact for SE Texas except for Memorial they would be in division 1

Monte Barrow has been named new Head Coach/Athletic Director for Nederland congrats coach

And Athletic Director

I don't see anyone transferring over a coaching change except those who had planned to leave already both coaches Barrow and Simmons are good.

Can't be any worse than hiring a guy that had a degree in Zoology

You can't say people aren't passionate in Nederland. I think regardless of the outcome tonight Nederland football will be fine.

I think so as well

The issue was addressed earlier in the thread. The issue is with the title of Athletic Director. As others have pointed out the position is Administrative, and many school districts prefer a master’s degree but there is no set in stone requirement to have a master’s degree. Most will put masters preferred as Nederland did for the position.

All the talk of doom is nonsense. Either coach will do fine.

Disagree totally Nederland football will be fine either under Simmons or Barrow

The whole situation is crazy. A lot more drama than the Fedora situation last year.

well here's Nederland ISD's words [Hidden Content]

The wording that NISD is using leads me to believe the position of head coach and athletic director will not be split up

Let the fun begin

Actually she's stepping down as athletic director [Hidden Content]

Can anyone name a one school town that the head football coach is not the Athletic Director in 5A?

They'll make the hire before spring break I'm sure

I just don't see that scenario going over very well
