The talk around town in Owingsville is if Johnny Poynter @ Bath doesn’t go to Madison Southern or Central he will be given boot out of the HC position. Once again, this is a rumor; not 100% sure if this is the truth. I honestly like Johnny and hope he stays and does well

Thats stupid. Bath county cannot do better than Johhny.

Chappel at Whitley probably is but should not be.

I like Chappel personally. He just hasnt got the job done. I think every coach in that district is probably on the hot seat expect for Eddie.

Fairview- Boyd County-

Now that the first rounds are over. Who is in the HOT or NOT SEAT

[Malcolm Ex]

Looks like Boyd and Estill will be looking for new coaches. What else are we hearing?

Estill hasn't been confirmed yet.

Fairview- Boyd County-

The programs and Fairview and Boyd are at an all time low and I’m not sure if they can recover.

Chappel at Whitley probably is but should not be.

Why shouldn't he be?

[pjdoug]

I didn’t fully understand that hire to begin with. But overall he has underperformed with what he has had. It could be his coaching staff as well. I dunno. But they’ve got to do better

I still think he is a fine man and refuse to talk bad about him. I'm sure he could have a much better staff, and administration above him, but losing 61-0 in the first round is unacceptable. They should have built a solid program by now. I keep hoping a coach will only take the job if he gets full control. one that won't let the clique bully him and make decisions for him.

[Tomcat Pride]

Here’s my perspective, for what it is worth.

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 he’s 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. There’s 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 don’t know what they’re doing, is a recipe for failure. My two uneducated cents. Lol

Paintsville? Didn’t they turn their program around by adding transfers from Prestonsburg, Johnson Central and other schools that surround them? Getting a quality coach and giving him time to build his program is the key to success not poaching other team's athletes like Paintsville has. Bad Example!

[pjdoug]

Football in southeast Kentucky in a lot of places is too political to paint an accurate picture of who is on the hot seat. A coach could win 3 games and have more security than one who just won 7. It’s a shame to me. These kids should come first, and what’s best for them, than some administrators agenda.

I agree.

[pjdoug]

Mboro never should have let Frazier go from an outsiders perspective. He is a very good coach.

Whitley County shouldn't have either

[pjdoug]

Not really homemade clowns. At least 3 of those guys went to high school at wburg. They just migrated over and have never left.

That's the problem. it's a conspiracy.

[2face]

A good coach can have bad players and tough sched and not win many games, the next hot thing isnt always the solution

[Warriorhawk17]

Heard coach Ratliff of pike county central is stepping down.

[teampaul]

Estill hasn't been confirmed yet.

I think Estill has been confirmed. Jones told the players before Bell it was going to be his last game. Granted he could change his mind, but as far as I know there will be a new head coach in Irvine next year.

Any idea who they might be looking at?

[E's Army]

61-0 has thrown gasoline on the fire under Chappel's seat

[hoghead]

Larkey at North I think may be.

[DarthVader]

Larkey at North I think may be.

How so? Only coach there to ever have any success. Duncum had a good year or so but it's been pretty blank other than that.

[AverageJoe]

I recently heard a few coaches might be making the jump to the next level come spring.

[pjdoug]

Who will Whitley County hire? Dudley? nicker:

Be hard to go to either of those places as neither are open, and I don't see them being open.

I’ll grudgingly agree, never been a big Larkey fan but without him seems they really struggled to sustain any success. After realignment he’ll never win district again though Pulaski or Southwestern is always gonna be in the way.

Unfortunately any coach who didn’t give in to the clique would be a short timer at Whitley Dougie. Clean sweep of the school board with new faces wanting to completely change the whole culture of the school system would be a big starting point.

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.

[pjdoug]

If any of you know somebody that does hiring (not talking about athletic department) at University of the Cumberlands or can help a person please send me a message. I know a qualified person that needs a job in a hurry.
