FINAL — Nederland 39 at Huntsville 42 — Discussion

[Darth Texas]

Good season bulldogs ! Tough loss 

[A BUC 77]

Too bad dogs.  Score 39 points and loose. What that says to me is a sloppy defensive game.  Up and down season, but I think it’s one to build on.

I personally do not think Rich will be there next year.  Wether it be they let him go or he leaves on his own.

The Lane to Clay combo works well, why would you change it? Bro did all he could in the final seconds there. 

I agree Lane played good but if we are being honest anyone that can throw the ball down field close to Clay he will make the play. The Collins player has more ability to scramble and run the read options with more speed. Playing  good doesn’t win games and Championships ! Just my opinion.

Care to elaborate Coach?

I believe its  mistake to not have Rich back. He is literally from the same tree as Joseph. Once you undergrad programs reach the varsity level they will be a dynamic team. He wants to run the same o as PN-G. In Fact he did run it at Katy. He is missing a coach and a few more kiddos from being similar to PNG. I think Nederland is on a steep trend upward. No one thought Nederland stood a chance. They played their tails off last night. Blaming the defense while they held the team in the game all night. Against a team that was supposed clobber Nederland. Be careful what you wish for.

Just out of curiosity, what is Rich’s record and playoff record at Nederland. Every team deals with the same thing Nederland does. Injuries, coaching, and all the excuses one can think of. IMO Nederland is all over the spectrum in his tenure. Interested to know his record as the coach. And just because you’re under the same coaching tree, doesn’t mean you are the same caliber.

I think with Rich the offense improved The difference from him to Joseph is that Joseph understands that defense wins games and every year under him the defense improves each week. With Rich the defense does not improve weekly. He needs to find defensive coaches that can coach. IMO opinion watching them all season, the lb’er and secondary coaches didn’t get the job done The other glaring differences is penalties and special teams, especially the kickoff team

Rich ain't going anywhere, huge improvement from last year. The dogs were competing again like we're use to seeing, from getting into a barn burner with Lumberton to knocking off Almeta Crawford, dogs are night and day from the last few years. We've got a coach who actually likes to throw the ball and a WR who is a stud. It's nothing but up from here. The only thing that's irritating is that it was almost guaranteed trip to round three, Bastrop is weak.
