From one storied program to another, Brandon Faircloth appears set to be the next Port Neches-Groves football coach.
Faircloth is an assistant coach at Odessa Permian and will become PN-G's next coach pending a vote of PN-G ISD board members at a Tuesday meeting.
PN-G ISD Superintendent Lani Randall said Friday that she will recommend to the board that Faircloth be the next football coach and boys athletic coordinator.
Should the board approve Randall's recommendation, he'll go from a program that has won six state titles to one that has won three state titles and is steeped with more tradition than any other Southeast Texas program.
"He's been able to live through that experience, which is a lot different from hearing about it or reading about in a book," Permian coach Darren Allman said in reference to "Friday Night Lights," a bestselling book about the 1988 Permian football team.
Faircloth has served as Permian's offensive coordinator for three seasons. Permian averaged 42.6 points through an undefeated, 10-game regular season and three playoff games, the last a 28-22 loss to eventual Class 5A Division I champion Allen.
"He's a very intelligent person that knows how to teach, and he's been a great offensive coordinator for us," Allman said. "We got immediately better when he came to Permian."
Faircloth did not return a phone message Friday.
Randall said Faircloth's experience and accomplishments set him apart from the 35-person field of applicants.
"It came down to his experience and the accomplishments he has had at the places he's been, like Westlake, Highland Park and Permian," Randall said. "Those are all successful high schools."
Last season, PN-G averaged 18.4 points in nine games. The Indians won their first three games but lost the last six.
If hired, Faircloth will replace former Matt Burnett, who coached 22 seasons at PN-G, the last 15 as head coach. Burnett coached PN-G to a Class 4A state title game in 1999.
The PN-G ISD reassigned Burnett to outdoor athletic complex coordinator and student attendance officer Nov. 25.
Faircloth, Georgetown assistant Chuck Griffin and Calallen head coach/athletic director Philip Danaher were the three finalists for the position, Randall said.
The PN-G ISD had revealed Faircloth as a coaching applicant only after the Texas Attorney General's office required it to do so. The school district had asked the AG's office if the Texas Freedom of Information Act required it to release the names of applicants after it received six requests for the list of applicants.
"It's been a long process, and come Tuesday, it will be where we want it to be," Randall said.

Faircloth takes PN-G job

PORT NECHES -- Brandon Faircloth will be recommended to become Port Neches-Groves next head football coach at a special PNGISD trustees meeting Tuesday night.
Faircloth was offered the opportunity and accepted it Friday from PNGISD schools superintendent Dr. Lani Randall. The innovative Odessa Permian offensive coordinator was expected to attend the board meeting next Tuesday night in West Groves Elementary School at 6 p.m., according to Dr. Randall.
"We had some strong candidates but Brandon was impressive to our interview committee," Dr. Randall said. "We had some great finalists but Brandon's background in Texas high school football at Austin Westlake, Highland Park and Odessa Permian was very impressive. I would say that he's a great fit for PN-G... You're going to like him when you meet him."
Always a strong advocate of academics, the PNGISD schools superintendent indicated that Faircloth's father was a school principal in Brownwood.
"We looked for a candidate with good leadership, a good role model for our students and a keen mind about football."
Faircloth has coached such outstanding athletes as former University of Texas and current Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams while working under head coach Darren Allman on the Panthers coaching staff.
"We're going to miss him," Permian's head coach told sports writer Joel Erickson of the Odessa American newspaper. "But that's what we want our assistant coaches to be able to do, and it's one of the reasons they come to Permian."
Permian averaged 41.4 points per game during an undefeated, 10-game regular season last year. The Panthers won two playoff games and lost to Allen, 28-22, in the Class 5A Division I area round.
Since joining the Permian coaching staff in 2006, Faircloth has presided over three consecutives seasons in which his quarterback has broken Permian's single-season passing record, a streak that was capped by the 2,682 yards Trevor Adams gained this season. Faircloth also presided over running back Sherard Ray's 2,224-yard rushing season in 2008, the second-best single-season rushing mark in Permian history.
Pending Randall's recommendation to the board, Faircloth would fill the vacancy created when Matt Burnett accepted the reassignment to become the school's outdoor athletic complex coordinator and attendance officer.
The News reported in Thursday's sports section that two prestigious applicants for PN-G's position had withdrawn their names from consideration -- Phil Danaher from Corpus Christi Calallen and Jerry Vance from Liberty Hill.
Another major Southeast Texas head coaching vacancy opened Friday at Jasper. Bulldogs head football coach Thomas Brooks surprisingly announced that he has resigned from the position. Brooks announced his intentions to stay in the Jasper school district as athletic director and director of the alternative education center.
