Some might remember this but Neumann was not the first choice back in 1993. Dickie Meeks was the first choice but there was an issue with him wanting to bring in two assistants. The second choice Kendall Wheaton turned the job down leaving the door open for Neumann to take the job.

well if you want to call it a good ol boy hire you can. He graduated from Nederland. He was at A&M when he was hired at Nederland before that he was at TJ with Ronnie Thompson.

actually the last several hires have been outside hires. Neumann ofcourse was an outside hire but so was Bobby August, Steve Derouen, Ben Hurt, and Lloyd Wasserman. The last inside hire was Don Ross back in 1976

Eric Peevey has been named the new head coach at West Brook

wouldn't surprise me if someone did some people think that.

Dont recall anyone saying that.

James, there have been several bonds to upgrade the football facilities over the years and they have all been voted down. Any ideas as to how to get a bond to pass when others have been voted down?

And ill agree about Nederland's lack of facilities compared to others in the area.

Its possible they could have family or contacts in the area. I believe someone mentioned earlier where the position had been posted to.

Bell hired as Beaumont ISD interim athletic director

NISD didn't do a very good job at advertising the job IMO

Chad Simmons is the underdog pick longtime Cinco Ranch Defensive Coordinator and Nederland grad.

Didn't Nederland do something similar with the AD position in the 1980's with Lloyd Wasserman and Ben Hurt?

I wonder if Coach Barrow applied for the job though. Well find out soon I imagine

Even Larry Neumann applied for jobs outside of Nederland. I bet nobody would have said at the time Nederland ISD shouldn't renew this guy.

Curious how Central fans feel about this. He didn't win a single playoff game at Central. Not going to be an easy job at Shoemaker only one playoff win in their school's history.

No agenda for the Feb. 20th board meeting has been posted yet, that being said I highly doubt a hire will be made at this meeting.

I think this is true as opposed to only 8 applying

CE King hires North Shore assistant and former Giddings HC Derek Fitzhenry as their next head coach.

I imagine a few internal candidates have

I imagine interviews will start next week with a hire in place in March. Interested to see who applies for the job

Probably won't know unless someone submits a Freedom of Information request.

AD only has happened a few times this year but on the 4a level at Pleasanton and Sanger. Can't recall a situation where a basketball coach was the AD granted this is all speculation on our part and Nederland could simply hire a head football coach/athletic director

It's possible that would leave the door open to hire barrow as head coach

The job is now posted masters degree preferred
