Head of the Tribe?

Well I'm sticking to the high school level on this viewpoint. Before I express myself on this situation I want to mention one thing. I am a proud graduate of Port Neches-Groves High School. Ive been in Mid-County all of my life and do not plan leaving anytime soon because I love it here. I grew up just like so many other generations did in Port Neches and Groves going to PN-G football games and bleeding purple. As my duties for setxsports.com have grown in the past 3 years Ive learned that their is alot of other great football programs in southeasttexas I have been covering and have enjoyed doing so. As I write this viewpoint I just want to throw out there that I am not being biased towards the Port Neches-Groves Football Program but, I do have my opinion about the coaching situation that is going on over there right now. It is no secret that this one of the most prestigious programs not only in this area but in the state of Texas. Matt Burnett had a great 15 year run as the head coach at the reservation. I am not surprised at all about the decision of the reassignment given to him recently. I do think it was time for a change. When things are not going well the natives do get restless and I know the purple and white faithful is ready to get the PN-G program back to the top. Their has been rumors going around about who the new head of the tribe might be. Mike Long from Kelly High School (former PN-G offensive coordinator), Alvin Credeur (Current Lumberton Head Coach and former assistant at PN-G) have been the two hot names mention to take over. If I had to pick between those two great coaches I would choose Long because, it is a high profile job and he would have a chance to be really successful has a head coach. I am not taking anything away from Kelly High School or its football program I have nothing but respect for that school but, if you had a chance to take a better job making more money and a name for yourself wouldn't you take it? As far as Coach Credeur is concerned I do not see him leaving Lumberton. He is a native son of the city and has done a outstanding job turning that program around. Their is a possibility that they might hire someone out of the area. Personally I think that might be the best bet for the Indians right now. Bringing in someone that's not from southeasttexas will be a breath of fresh air for this program. Whoever that might be they need to run a spread offense and a up tempo style of play. This should be an exciting time at the Reservation with a new stadium and a new era starting. When I still do get a chance to get to see the Indians play these days I still get chills when the team runs out onto the field and the band fires up the fight song. I just want all of the PN-G faithful to know that their is still hope for this program and it wont take long for it to get back to the top. Last but, not least I want to wish the Lamar Cardinals luck as they face the Kentucky Wildcats tonight. Feel free to leave comments and opinions.
