I think Danaher is the man for the job. If he could coach for about 8 years he would have this program on top. Then when he retired this position would be very sought after, not to mention what valuable experience he would pass on to our younger coaches. Look at his record he is a winner with a similar level of talent as PNG.
PNG's Next Coach.....
- Thread starter HSFB
- Start date
Smurf: Actually Jeff Walker would be a good candidate as well as it never hurts to have a fullbacks mentality running the program but to get the main man who started it all in Vance would really be a coup.
I still think that the Calallen coach would have problems winning at PN-G. Calallen has traditionally been the go-to school for football in the area. They have won consistently with some very talented teams in a region that is not as strong as others. Winning will be much more difficult at PN-G than Calallen. Now I have to be careful here because I am not saying that the man is not a great coach. I have tremendous respect for any coach who reaches the 300 win plateau in Texas HS Football. I’m just saying that there are other factors that go in to winning outside of X’s & O’s. I am also not saying that PN-G does not have the athletes but I’m sure that some of the better football players from area schools are not moving in to PN-G due to the football factor. There are many variables in place that account for Calallens consistent success with great talent being a main factor. That being said, the guy could come in here and win big and I will gladly eat crow.
I really feel that any coach who comes in here running the I, spread or variation thereof will not bring you a consistent winner. Sure, there will be the winning seasons when the talent level is high but I do not believe that is the consistency that you are looking for as that does not sustain excitment in a program. I’m being redundant here but what is needed is someone who has accomplished more with less and has the right schemes that will translate in to consistent success at PN-G. You need a scheme what will allow you to be successful in down talent years with the potential to win big every couple of years are so. This would generate tremendous excitement within the program and everything would snowball from there. The right scheme, execution and discipline throughout the program are vital to making this work and I still feel that Vance is almost a cant miss prospect for all the reasons I stated in my original post and then some. I can promise you that teams would not look forward to defending Vance’s version of the Slot-T. This would be something new to the region that would create confusion for opposing D’s. Nor would they look forward to facing a team that brings such a tenacious attitude on every play.

Where is Danaher in that mix?
I am quite sure it is because he got out of it exactly what he wanted. A raise. Hence forth another reason why these lists should not be made public. If a coach wants more money all he has to do is apply somewhere else and wait for that stupid FOI! In the mean time the school he applies to ends up wasting time and money interviewing a candidate that is not really interested.
I have a question also...How many superstar HS Head Coaches have moved on to other programs toward the end of their careers and been successful? Seems like most of them are never heard from again. Maybe I am wrong??

Vance withdrew his name today
There are several things you would get with Mike Long as HC. You would get respect from the players which there hasn't been since he left. You would have a coach that really wants to come here and stay. He is not one just looking for advancement to another job. You will get an offense that would not be limited. One thing for sure, you would be getting someone that is familiar with HONOR=PRIDE=TRADITION.
