I am disappointed to say that we have watered down our schedule and done nothing really to improve on a pathetic season last year. My son plays at Rowan and he is completely demoralized with the direction the program has taken. On the other hand i have a nephew playing for Powell County. Powell has hired a top notch head coach and very good assistants to turn their program around. I also hear they are giving the coach complete control of the program there. This sounds like a winning formula to me. But here at Rowan we have coaches that don't come to weightlifiting or even come by and see the players now that the season is over. I bet spring ball will be horrible. I am considering taking my son to Fleming county to play. I don't know what to do as parent because i see the dismal picture. But i don't want to pull my son out of his school due to having poor football coaches and a terrible administratoin. It is time to bring back coach Gary McDowell and get back to winning against regional opponents. We lost to Gallatin County this past year. They had never played a football season before and we got crushed by them. The players know it is the coaching and want to win and work hard but have no real leadership or quality in the coaching staff. We had coaches almost fist fighting during games last year. If there are any coaches reading this or somebody who has been around high school sports alot what do you suggest?

Bring him to Powell Co. They are for real this year. The more players the better!

Well send your boy to Hazard, he'll win....hahaha...j/k evryone. But, i dont know how to fix that problem, Rowan Co. was REALLY good when we played them last year. Good luck with this though...

Careful gentlemen, that could be a recruiting violation. As a coach, I would want someone that feels the way you do to come to me and discuss the situation. Hey, coaches are human and 99% of them will listen to you and not hold a grudge. But if you decide to move your kid to a neighboring school, be prepared to move before the KHSAA will make him elgible.

Thanks for the advice coach B. But i don't want to be one telling the coach what to do. Our problems here run deeper than one coach. But we have went backwards. Team spirit is very low. I will not gripe in my community. I don't want to undermind my sons coach. I hate seeing my son go through this though. Losing is terrible and no fun.

Bill Baldridge is a good man. I hope he gets things turned around.

what is rowan countys schedule this year?

[GRIZZ]

I'd let him stay. Have him become the leader of the team. Before the coaches can do anything the players have to believe in themselves. Make him become the voice that everyone listens to and responds to. The old saying goes "When the going gets tough, the tough get going." I think its wrong for anyone to bail on a team just because they aren't good. If I was in that situation I'd want to be the one that tries to make the difference and get things going back on track.

If hes a senior or junior, its probably best to keep him at rowan where he knows everybody, it would be rather hard to adjust to a new school and everything and still play football at a high level.
