Bossdaddy 4115 Wrote:Would have had him before Chappell if ad would have let dud be dud not meant in a bad way. He just likes to be in control with his funding and charges at the gate himself for jv and freshman, nothing wrong with that. Wanted all the control of money and ad said no. But I have heard Hilton was at the market three times last week, and was also in Rockcastle interviewing.
"Control the funding" and "himself", So who does he answer to and how would anyone know if the gate pulled $5k or $3750? Hmm something seems kinda odd. I did hear about a huge house across the tunnel in TN.
. Thanks.

PHSForever Wrote:Hereâs my perspective, for what it is worth.I was right in the middle of all that. My brother played during that time. I could tell you some stories that would BLOW YOUR MIND...There were times I was scared that our program would never get back relevance again. Glad Coach Mac is back and I agree never shouldâve been ran off in the first place.
Years ago, when Hillard Howard left Pikeville and then Bill Allara, they were humming like a well oiled machine. Little League thru high school, all players were coached well, similar style offenses, large foundation of support. Then some changes in administration led to some differing viewpoints, and we began to struggle. Royce Mayo, Mike Jackson, Chris McNamee (1st go around), John Chapman, Mike Copley, Ben Howard, then Chris McNamee again (finally). Along the way, a few rough seasons by Panther standards, and little league standards and support started to erode. Now, keep in mind the expectations at the Hs level never changed, leading to greater frustration when the depth and successes were not like times of old.
Mac gets brought back (should have never let him go IMO the first time), and he immediately started out rebuilding LL and spending time with those kids and parents and establishing expectations for coaching there, all the way up to the HS. It paid dividends with it culminating in the 2015 championship, and success since then. We are back on track because they left him alone, recognizing heâs a proven winner, and let him rebuild the program. Now, as long as everyone continues to follow the plan from elementary school up, depth will stay where it is now (like 57 kids on the roster), development coming along at an earlier age, etc.
Just my opinion. If an administration is serious about wanting the program to succeed, they need to hire someone who cares, knows how to win, and leave them alone for at least 6 years. By then, there will be an indication of evident improvement and success. Will they all win titles? No. Thereâs only 6 each year. But definite improvement is possible. So programs like Trimble need to look at what Pikeville and even Paintsville did to rebuild/re-establish, and follow the model. Putting anyone on the hot seat without giving them support and time, unless they just flat out donât know what theyâre doing, is a recipe for failure. My two uneducated cents. Lol

Once again, this is a rumor; not 100% sure if this is the truth. I honestly like Johnny and hope he stays and does wellFrom what I have read on here @EKYFootball1717 you are a crap starter...I guess you think you are helping out the Bath County program but you are doing nothing but TRYING to tear it down. Either you are a former disgruntled coach or a disgruntled parent. Like I said in the Bardstown - Bath thread if you have an issue with Johnny Poynter talk to him about it.

Sounds like sore grapes to me! Kids want to go where they can win and have the best chance to be successful going to the next level. Transfers are a part of the business at every level. If they were transferring to your program you wouldn't feel that way! Look at the new school in Lexington. They are about to win the state championship with D1 players from every surrounding school in the area and no one has said a word from KHSAA! I believe the AD is the same guy who has killed the program at Fairview and no one has said a word! The fact of the matter is you need a good coach and an administration that believes in your vision and you also need the bravura to bring in the talent from your surrounding areas! If the kids don't want to play for your school and coach, then you have a culture problem that can be fixed but it better be with the right coach and admin!

If you have a problem with kids wanting success, we see the problem with your program. I am not saying that you cheat and steal to win but if a kids are not happy at your program then it is a YOU problem. Don't get mad at others success if you really don't want that for your kids!

The problems with my Alma mater are obvious. This ain't college. You should go to school where you live.

Hodge was 55-27 in 7 seasons at Bourbon County, two regional titles. Previous 7 years Bourbon was 22-54. Record wise, best 7 year stretch in history of the school.
