I Agree! Our offense isn't setup for a QB like Lane that doesn't have the speed to scramble. Collins is somewhat faster it seems but look at the last two previous QB's we had and they were extremely fast. I support the Coaches and they will figure it all out. Gestring coming back will definitely be a huge part of the running game for us as well.

The last 2 QB’s were good athletes and were fast, however they were not good QB’s because they passing was so inaccurate They would have been good RB’s or receivers

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.🤣

Nederland didn’t start the season the way they wanted, but they may have gone through exactly the kind of adversity that can build a tougher football team. They lost their starting QB, dealt with injuries, had to adjust offensively, and instead of folding, they’ve won two straight. The defense is playing hard, the running game gives them an identity, and the team appears to be developing confidence. Now the question isn’t what Nederland was in Weeks 1 and 2—it’s what this team becomes after everything they’ve already been through….

I’d be surprised if Nederland didn’t win by 5 TDs. Nederland 55 Lee 7

DCTF has Nederland as a 39 point favorite.

He didn’t have 3 touchdown passes and 2 rushing!!

We have to remember that Coach Rich is now getting kids from his own program that have been through what he wants to do as a coach coming up thorough the lower grades. His identity is now  showing up. I believe he s a good coach and it will show in the next few seasons. I believe Nederland is about to transform into something we have not seen in a while.

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

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.

PS, you think Nederland had better talent than Crawford?  Or were they better coached?!

For the better part of the last 30+ years, Nederland football has never been about having the most talented athletes on the field. It has been about having the right system, being fundamentally sound, being coached well, and playing for something bigger than yourself.

The name on the front of the jersey has always meant more than the name on the back.

Nederland has built its tradition on discipline, toughness, preparation, accountability, and eleven guys believing in the guy lined up next to them. You don’t have to have the biggest stars—you have to have a team that plays like a team.

Talent can win you a game. Culture, preparation, and playing together can build a program.

That’s Nederland football. Nederland lost its identity for a few years. I believe they have found that identity again. 

[spidersal]

A very nice post, however the coaching staff before Rich had zero discipline They may have lead the state in personal foul penalties with the majority of those being late hits

Hopefully they are getting the discipline back to where it needs to be

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.
