Nederland is open, Barrow Resigns

Scott Rich

[El Grande Ned]

Scott Rich seems to be the consensus rumored pick. Little that can be found about him online seems to be what was stated as Katy’s QB coach for last few seasons at least. And seems to be involved in Student Leadership activities and FCA. Sounds like a class act individual. 

if this is the selection will be interesting to see what aspects he brings from Katy program (hopefully structure, discipline, fundamentals, etc). Offensively Katy usually has a run oriented approach with pro sets, i formation, single back, etc and under center. More balanced approach than typical spread. Would be interesting. Would be better if he brought along Katy’s giant OL 🤣 Although, if you haven’t seen the size of some of the middle school linemen coming up in Nederland, would be good to check out some Central middle school games next year. Let’s see if we can keep them on the field in high school.

Will be interesting day/evening with announcements. Im sure the lookouts are searching the city to see if the new coach has arrived already and touring around. 🤣 Coach Watch 2024 is on!

Board meeting is at 5 pm this evening FYI.

We had far better candidates this go around than in 2017...ill say this the days of undisciplined Nederland Bulldog football are about to be over...Coach Scott was the guy responsible for the red zone game planning for Katy when it comes to Xs and Os really smart guy...you talked about his family his dad was really well liked and was on the 1st Buna Cougar basketball state championship team 

[El Grande Ned]

So he is kinda SouthEast Texas local then?

my opinion,only an opinion,the coach doesnt matter if the players and community does not buy into the program..

Let's look back before Neumann got there. Nederland was really bad.  No buy in from players or community.  Then for 19 years, had buy in from players and community.  After Neumann, the program went down the toilet.  So, this is the reason we are talking about player and community buy in now.  What was the common denominator?  The Coach!!  You can't put the cart before the horse!  Get the right coach, start winning, then the buy in will happen.  At Nederland this has already been proven!

PN-G has two towns to pull from Nederland just 1 

Even with that Nederland always had more, at least that's what I remember from the 05-12 era

When I went to academic competitions in Nederland their schools were piss poor work. I went on a tirade here and got shot down. Ned deserves better. 

Ohhh no they got a A+ rating from the TEA.....

Exactly….kudos to all the bond naysayers back in 2008-9 in Nederland that slowed progress for your city…the bill is now coming due...ironically, it is likely most of the same people who seem to be do most of the complaining about the state of things today...interesting

Don't get me started. My age group got shafted on the boomers killing the bond. This go around we were old enough to vote and kicked Sally and Gertrude to the curb, they dead now anyway

Going to be a tall task to win in this district but Coach Rich will get the players out that's for sure

SO IM ASSUMING RICH IS THE MAN?

[PN-G bamatex]

Scott Rich will be a good coach for the Bulldogs. It might take a season or two for him to right the ship, but Mid-County Madness is on the verge of being a contest of state-ranked powers, on top of already being the state’s fiercest rivalry and the perennial marquis game in the Golden Triangle. This is good for both schools, and good for the area at large.

I look forward to seeing what Coach Rich does at Nederland.
