From Philip Klein's blogsite:

Talk about in your face? And maybe even a lawsuit before it is all over? <start drums> How about those damn Indians over at Port Neches?

The story is simple. A long time football coach quits. So everyone applies for the job to the Port Neches Groves school board. The applications are put into a ranking and on and on.

So the media wants to know who applied. Any normal district says - well here are the names. But not Port Neches Groves. They violate almost every law that can be violated by telling the media no. You cannot have the list. So how do they do it? By doing the old end around and asking the AG for an opinion. That stops the process for at least six weeks and then when the AG comes back and tells them to release the names they will after they have selected the new head coach.

But wait! There is more!

By doing such they stall the media and stop any suggestion of any negotiation for any school district that may want to keep their coach by making the pot sweeter.

Now for the question - does this open the door for the district to be sued. And we just do not know the answer to that. However, seemingly it is a bad deal for the politicos on the school board. What are they hiding? Who knows? Who is behind it all? Who knows? Is it legal what they are doing? Hell yes. Is it what should happen in a free and open government? No. But remember - it is Port Neches where football is king.

And making it even more funny - it has taken the eyes off the ball as they say. No media is reporting that the old coach is staying on with his whopping huge salary and now they will add on ANOTHER huge whopping salary.

Ah yes - bigger is better. And there is nothing like more corruption and manipulation of the law in the most corrupt county in Texas!

Applicants - please apply and your name will not be released.

Really - we thought that no elected board could get lower than what goes on in Port Arthur or the Jefferson County Courthouse.

Opps....we were wrong.

This is the hidden content, please

Under Section 552.304(a) of the Texas Public Information Act, PN-G ISD should be required to release this information. But they're stalling. So we ask you, gentle readers, to get involved. Any letter you send does not need to be elaborate or detailed. The AG is clear on the law; the issues worth underscoring here are the high level of interest in the information and the accountability of an elected body. If you don't, these school boards will just continue to snow the general public -- using your tax dollars to do whatever they want. Sound familiar?

Just remember, citizen journalists: if you submit a comment, please copy the school district (the contact info is on the above letter), as required by 552.304(B).

Give 'em hell. They deserve it.

Here's my take on the situation (for what it's worth)... I have experienced in the past that nothing irks the media more than someone trying to buck them on an FOI request. This really seems to push their buttons. Now I feel that this is turning into more of a pi$$ing match than anything else. Many people are curious as to whose names are on that list, I am one of the curious. But, I have to feel that there is a rhyme or reason to this madness. I also feel that if we as Indian fans are patient, then we will get a better coach because of it. I think we will learn in the near future why the Board chose to " go this route". I know that it is never a good idea to "take the law into your own hands", so to speak, but all that I care about as an Indian is getting the best possible coach to bring this program to an elite level. In no way is this a dig at Coop or any media members that post here, it's just one unimportant opinion.

This site is starting to become the national inquirer of sports sites. You have school bashing, coach bashing, player bashing. You might as well call this site smack atack. This site is starting to go down hill fast.

We do not condone any kind of bashing here. Our moderators do a heck of a job keeping things in line. I think it's the whole PNG coaching situation that is getting out of hand with 13 plus threads and so on. If you have any concerns about bashing one here PM a moderator. But I will garuntee you this site will never turn into something like the smack attack!
