With all the success (so far) that Brandon Faircloth has brought to PN-G this year, wonder how that is resonating with previous coach Matt Burnett? How does his new position as "outdoor athletic complex coordinator and student attendance officer" come in to play with the Athletic Director's position?

Just curious....  seems like so many people were so quick to point out in the last few years that Burnett was not the man to lead PN-G (even though he had many playoff appearances and a run to the state title game).

I have absolutely no clue how this is playing in Indian country, but I too would be curious to see if Coach Burnett had the same tools (facilities, ability to hire, money, etc.) that Coach Faircloth has had.  That being said, I think Coach Faircloth has done a superb job.  Coach Burnett has always been a good man with plenty of class.  I would be surprised if he were not enjoying the Indian success vicariously.

To me this should be a non issue. Change was needed for the program, and it was made. PNG faithful should ignorre this thread and just keep on keeping on......   Enjoy the ride

Ditto... I think I've seen Matt at every game. He has been nothing but positve and a classy guy. Quit trying to stir up trouble. No elephant in the room at PNG.

      Will probably be released by the Democrats come September.  Sound familiar?

      Sure.  You reassign an employee and they leave voluntarily instead of being fired and being open to litigation.  The outcome is the same, but you are making my point.  The superintendent and AD and principal are all empowered to make personnel decisions.  Instead of accepting the decision made, you talk about lawyering up, no one else was reprimanded, railroad job.  I am old enough to remember when high school sports taught life lessons...accountability being chief among them.

      I know absolutely nothing about the situation, but I do know head coaches of sports other than the AD have actual teaching assignments, and I know from my wife having worked in the sped department of multiple schools that it’s not uncommon at all for coaches to shirk those duties.  It could very well be that this was the case at BC.  Or not, I don’t know.  Just bringing this up to point out the fact that, although many coaches only want to worry about coaching, they generally have several other responsibilities at the school.  some of them neglect or ignore these duties entirely.  If he’s been written up for other issues before, it’s a dumb argument to say “he was punished for this and others were not”.  If he had a pile of write ups in his file and they did not then it makes sense that the punishments were different.

      He wasn’t fired, he was reassigned and people get reassigned all the time. If he was actually fired, then you would have a point, but he wasn’t fired. Based on the information presented here no way this would stand if they fired him and he lawyered up.

      I heard the assistant was going to get this job and assume it was referring to the old Vidor coach, Nate Smith.  I always thought he did more with less at Vidor and can't help but think he shares some responsibility in Vidor's recent success.
