Let's talk about the BIG elephant in the room.......

[Guest KHS 89]

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.

Knowing Matt the way I do, I'm sure he's grinning ear to ear.  He's not the jealous type that would put himself above the team.  He cares too much for those boys.  I'm sure he's  thrilled with their success.  He's a class act.

Sat in front of him in Livingston against the Lions.  He showed up to watch those boys in the cold and pouring rain and seemed pretty damn excited to me.  That guy is all class.

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

I think he will be on the sidelines somewere in the very near future I remember him saying that he would like to coach again.

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.

I am sure that Matt Burnett is excited to be able to watch his daughter dance with the drill team her senior year and couldn't be happier.
