When he retires....

[coonass322]

What does everyone think?

HIRE OUTSIDE!!!!

 

[IndianFan]

Tough to say. There are some good coaches on staff. And some good coaches elsewhere in the state.

 

[coonass322]

Interesting so far....I agree with some of our younger coaches having the potential, however I am pretty confident that I've seen alot of young guys currently in 3A-5A Head positions that would drop it to be at PNG...Will be interesting in the future as to the direction the program goes in...Just thought it would be a neat poll for the threads!

I don't want Matt Burnett to retire he has done a great job as a coach don't yall think that.

 

[ScalpEm24]

Do i think he has done a good job...Sure he has, do I also think it's time for a change? Yes I do. I think that we will always have the support and the love for the purple, but I must say, the hype that once was PNG has tended to drop a bit. Not by all of us by any means, but there are some that are just not that into it anymore. Personally, i think that's a shame for them. In saying all that, new blood to come in and just add that brand new excitment of of expectations, I think that is what is needed. Trust me, w/ the new facilities, the tradition, the fan support, once that job goes up on the block, you will have applicants far and wide begging to come continue the tradition of winning that PNG is all about. I think that would be great for this community!!!

I agree ScalpEm24, I applaud Burnett and will until he does retire and dont think it has to be a hurry up deal...2008 looks like a dandy so far, should see more of power football with crazy fans!

I like giving Mike Long a chance to coach here when Coach retires.

Anyone have any thoughts about Dougald McDougald??? He is currently leading the class 5-A Kingwood Mustangs football program. Wasn't he a PN-G graduate? I believe he led the Mustangs to the playoffs last year. :shout: Thoughts????

 

[IndianFan]

Kingwood finished with a 3-8-0 record in 2007. McDougald is a popular and well respected coach but has a 17-33 record as head coach at Kingwood since 2003. That might work against him.

 

[IndianKen]

LONG WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT CHOICE! :thumbsup:

Dougald graduated in '76 (w/ me) and was a major player in PNG's last State Title. :rocks:

Indian Ken I have always said that Mike Long atleast deserves a chance if coach decides to retire. I like his offensive stlyle wich would be a little different than what we are used to.

I don't want Matt Burnett to retire I think he will become great and I know a good coach to replace him would be Mike Long.

 

[NDNPARENT]

i think we should promote within the coaching staff. The OC is my choice to take over, he is and alumi, hardworker, trustworthy, honest and very knowledgeable about png football!

I also think Long has proven himself in a short time at Kelly. They are explossive. But Matt is still a very young man!
