My hope is new NG guy is able to get anything out of that program.
I wouldn’t hold my breath. NG has a pretty good talent base to draw from. There have been a lot of new homes built in and around the Dallas area. Their first issue is keeping their young talent and upcoming young talent at NG. The last couple of years NG has definitely been hurt by kids going to other county schools and one county school in particular at the moment. (2) NG is a difficult place to build a solid program because believe it or not, there are a lot of behind the scenes school/community/county politics a coach will have to navigate at that place. Those politics make it hard to build and maintain a competent staff (3) Facilities and Resources. NG is one of the GC schools that make it extremely difficult for a football coach to generate funds for their program. There is nothing like a football coach working hard to raise funds for his program to later be told by their boss that those funds he raised with his sweat need to go to jv soccer or tennis. It’s many things to fix to be a respectable program there.
