coach nettles has had plenty of talent . never done anything with it. as an alum of Denham springs I was ready for him to go . after walker scored 70 points I actually emailed Kelly jones about making a change


People care that much about their HS alma mater football performance??

Facebook posters who worked with him are saying the principal doesn't do enough to hire coordinators as fulltime staff. Pay is low and facilities are not up to snuff.

Says Dru never had a shot at succeeding in 5A due to the lack of investment/commitment from the principal

I can certainly see that as the case bc the schools I worked for had similar issues at times. You can't award a PE position to a non-coach. Some coaches are certified in SS but the vast majority are PE. It sounds like the DSHS principal didn't want to let a PE teacher go to make room for a FB coordinator.

You can't succeed as a head FB coach unless you have a great staff around you.
