Suspicious Hiring Practices......

[squaw]

heck yea most people in the community would love to have Long

Sorry, Old Dog, but that is NOT what is being said in the neighborhood. Most want someone with no ties to this area, is a proven coach, can bring his own OC/DC, is a good family man and one who can motivate young men and help them become men we all can be proud of. Of course, we all want to win some ballgames along the way--preferably the state title OR at least beat Nederland. lol We do not want Long who will bring more of the same old, same old....

What makes you think Long will bring the same old, same old?

Since we're talking theories, I believe a very accomplished coach with some previous tie to the district has expressed interest in the job. This coach is so tremendous that the news, when revealed, will blow everyone away and remove any doubt or concern about the decision. This will be one of the biggest events in PNG football history. ;D Why not. We got the $10M stadium. Anything is possible.

IRVING (AP) - In a stunning development, Wade Phillips annouced today that he will be stepping down as Head Coach of the Dallas Cowboys to coach at his high school alma mater, Port Neches-Groves High School. Phillips played for the Indians in 1964.

"You get to a point in your life when you say, where can I have the most impact and where can I find students of the game that are willing to learn all of what athletics has to offer. I concluded that it was a place where the athletes participate for the love of the game and still go by their first names. What kind of a nickname is "Pacman" anyway?"

When asked about leaving the Cowboys before moving into their new stadium, Phillips replied "Have you seen the new digs down at 'The Rez'? There is something about playing against a backdrop of the petrochemical industry, something that says, 'this is what sport is all about'".

Jerry Jones declined requests for an interview.

The aforementioned has no basis in fact, and as intended for entertainment purposes only.

Man, you had me going there for a sec! I was really hoping that was true!

I, for 1, don't believe that Long is the BEST man for the job. I would strongly support him, if he gets the nod, but judging by what he's accomplished (or lack of) at Kelly, I don't feel confident that he could turn things around here.

I have to agree. I would support him 100%. However, there are candidates out there with better credentials...I might be asking a lot, but I want a complete turn around from this season. A good coach can make it happen...that is if the board does the right thing and gets the right coach.

And he's gonna bring Owens with him as receiver coach and locker room bouncer. It was reported Owens will also be completing his masters program in uncontrollable whining from the U. of Phoenix - online. :woohoo:

Technically, it never says required nor preferred. Required is presumed here, but there is still some grey area for the board to operate in.
