At his Alma Mater?

**E's Army** · 12-06-2019, 06:12 AM

I think that would be his preference. But he wants to coach somewhere.

**BlackcatAlum** · 12-06-2019, 06:15 AM

John Derossett would be a good candidate.

Boomer_Sooner · 12-06-2019, 06:10 PM

Iâve been out of this for quite some time, so bear with me, but what happened to Justin Lamb?! Isnât he coaching something somewhere?!

Haddix has called and asked about the job

that would be a good hire. big al might take one of his boys coaches away from him but there is a connection there. If Hazard will go out of eastern ky for a big name. I wonder if Scroggins would consider coming out of retirement and relocating to hazard with his sons.

Any idea if heâs interested in becoming a high school HC?!

Hazard doesnât have near the support that Corbin has and isnât as strong of a job with Dixon now at Perry.

He is full of it. Trying to get rid of Haddix. He wants to be Super at Corbin. You donât know him if you believe what he says. He has another agenda.

Why? So he can have the distinction of having run 2 Tradition Rich programs into the ground? 😜

Iâve been out of H.S. Football for several years now and am just getting back into it the last season and a half. What happened to Derossit & Prestonsburg?! At one time he had a heck of a program there. Both him & the program had a lot of respect in the mountains, or at least it appeared to. Howâd he go from where he was to where he is?!

According to the P-Burg fans I spoke to. It was a classic case of a man drunk on his own power coupled with a principal at the time who wouldnât reign him in. You could start an All-Star Team with the talent heâd ran off the last few years he coached. Arrogantly swearing up and down they werenât good enough to play for him. Even though a good 15-20 of them started on teams that either won state titles or were state runners up for other teams. Many of those kids Dads played @ P-Burg. Starting to get the picture?

Bulldogs4Ever · 12-07-2019, 08:26 PM

I heard yesterday that Hazard met with legendary coach Bert Browne. Wonder how that went?

Yes I am!! Wow, that's unbelievable!! Iâll never be able to understand why a grin man would want to act that way!! Imagine what kind of teams could have been @ Prestonsburg!! Thanks for the update my man.

Boyle is gonna drop off quite a bit the next couple years. JC will be JC. But for what itâs worth corbin has just as much if not better talent coming up. I know the middle school level isnât a perfect indication, but the kids coming up have won titles and beat JC doing it. Itâs how they develop from then on......

**Hound05** · 12-09-2019, 04:22 PM

But..... regardless, haddix wonât go to hazard.

A-Block · 12-10-2019, 01:33 AM

What if they went after someone like a David Jones or Larkey?

David Jones is in a good place. He will have a good program at Bourbon sooner than people think. His staff even consists of other former UK players that live in the Lexington area. Look for Paris kids, Clark County kids, and others locally to start transferring to Bourbon

Worth making the call to see if there is interest though?

Haddix has not call about the hazard job, I was with him all weekend and we may see St. X coming to Corbin next year for a game. and going to St.X 2021 good chances this going to happened. It in St.X corner :Cheerlead

Itâs always worth a shot no matter who it is. The worst they could say is no.

**EKUAlum05** · 12-10-2019, 06:25 AM

Coach Hines at Pulaski County would be an interesting name to reach out to.

Hines has been very outspoken about the lack of facilities (specifically turf) support he has received at Pulaski County and after this year's losses to Southwestern the natives have been restless. Somerset winning a title also won't make the static from boosters any less.

His offensive philosophy is well suited for the program in place already at Hazard and he enough clout that he can generate enough excitement to keep some talent from following Dixon to the county.

Just a thought....
