That may be why you aren't hiring coaches. That's how it's done.
I doubt Dudley sent an application in to Bell when he was first hired in the 1980s. Someone at Bell saw what he did at Breathitt and wanted to turn around football at Bell and came up with an offer.
I'm pretty sure Tom Larkey didn't call Tim Saylor first when he was named the HCHS coach in 2008. Those kind of coaches don't have to seek jobs. The jobs come to them.

And here we are on coach 9 with that train of thought. I can assure you Dudley showed interest in this job when he first came. I want someone that wants to be here. Bottom Line.
