Prestonsburg coaching search

The name I've heard several times is David Jones. Would be a big step up for him, but he has done good things in a short amount of time at Phelps.

David Jones would be an interesting hire. Curious to see how this all shakes out

Why wouldn't they go after Chris Larkey. The combo of him and his father would be great to bring the PBurg back.

i would have to disagree with you on that

I have heard from a few people, one being a decently reliable source, that Johnson Central defensive coordinator
Justin Arms has been in contact.

Shane Simpkins and Blackcat baseball is a perfect example.

I have heard that Bill Letton son has been in contact and is interested.

Blackcat2001 · 03-11-2018, 07:09 PM

Is Nate Letton expected to take the job?? Word on the street is that he is priority number 1 for the black cats.

Coach said it will be a prime time job with the new realignment. Also said he need to fill out the current administration at one school and the new new super to be named at the other before making a move

:yikes:

Haywood or Hilton?

Gonna be hard for them to hire a teacher. They don’t have any teaching jobs listed.

Blackcat Legend · 03-14-2018, 01:16 PM

Just wondering if anyone else heard that John D interviewed for the Perry Central job? The stuff I'm gathering that our next coach will be from out of state? I knew once I heard about the committee, they would put us on the map with a big hire!

**Real Badman** · 03-15-2018, 06:29 PM

John D would do well at Perry

Yes he would. I think they would appreciate winning and being competitive every year but hey who am I to speculate?

His problems at Prestonsburg wasn't about winning or being competitive but how he treated the players.

If that's the case it sure took along time for everyone to get tired of it.

Incorrect, It took WAY TO LONG to get administration changed who didn't play the BUDDY SYSTEM.....

the duke1 · 03-19-2018, 05:12 PM

Wonder how many have applied?

blue bomber · 03-20-2018, 09:27 PM

Who are the top candidates for the job or who has already Applied

**Real Badman** · 03-21-2018, 01:13 AM

Every tom dick and Harry in eky

cat86 · 03-21-2018, 04:03 PM

Not quite every Tom, Dick, and Harry...lol.

I have heard that the committee is considering somewhere between 15-20 applicants. I have no knowledge of when the process will be over and when the new coach will be named, but my guess is sometime pretty soon.

That's way too many to consider

They aren't actually considering all of them. Mistake on my part. They began with that many applicants. I would guess not all of them will be granted interviews or proceed to the next step in the process.

Shockwaves coming perhaps.

Blackcat2001 · 03-22-2018, 01:32 AM

Is JR Bryant the leading candidate among the administration?
