I said earlier there were 7-8 applicants. I'm not going to get into names on here. I quit reporting on who "might" be hired in the 90s. I will have a story when they hire someone though. :)
As far as appealing - HC played in the 13th Region Tournament finals in 09, 10, 12, 16, 17, 18 and 19. I think that was seven out of the first 11 years. Not sure anyone other than Clay has done that.

Pretty decent middle school group that was basically the JV team last year. Not as strong as the boys middle school group though. They were down last year but won 20-plus the two previous years. Only two losing seasons in 16 years all together.

I'm sticking by my earlier comments about their being little interest and that is primarily because their is very little talent left for several years although someone mentioned the past this job is about the present and future. And from what I've seen its pretty bleak for the next 3 to 4 years. If their was a qualified candidate they would have already Hired them.

Doesn't matter if a qualified candidate applied or not. I was told by a Harlan City employee that they heard it straight from the AD himself that they would hire from within.

I know two people who are qualified both have been high school head coaches and one came highly recommended by several people that applied for that job. I think this is the band aid but it will be a band aid that won't be ripped off anytime soon and she will be "promoted" after the summer. Another example of Harlan County not giving a piss about their girls program. Lol

Who is "they?"
I'd be surprised if it was the principal or AD.
Nothing against Elgie. He did a good job at Pineville this year and was great to work with at HC earlier.
You have people applying for a job recommending other candidates?

Let me reword that. One of the people that applied has several high school and college coaches send in recommendation letters on their behalf. The other person had coach for the past 5 seasons in another region.
