Kind of reminds me of Ed Miracle going to Madison Central in the 70s after winning four state titles with Lynch.

Who his assistant is will be just as important as him being hired. A head man is only as good as the people who are around him. It’s never a one man show.

Great hire. Holcomb is one of the most talented coaches in the state. Very few coaches are willing to completely change their offense to suit the talent available. You never knew from year to year if Breathitt would be a 5 wide or a wishbone team, yet they were always competitive. Excellent hire.

Holcomb is a living legend, if the kids buy into his culture & the way he does things. Madison Central could very well be a very very good program out of the blue. The talent pool out yonder is wide open. Good luck coach!

Holcomb is a great coach, but it often doesn't work out as well at a different school. I don't think Miracle had any major success there after winning four state titles at Lynch. Holcomb didn't win at the same level at Letcher. The potential is there, but it's far from automatic.

Nothing against Letcher I think they definitely have talent coming up but Madison Central has some major talent coming up and Holcomb’s gonna pull some kids...Will they compete in 6A? I wouldn’t bet against him guy knows how to win.

Former Belfry grad Corey Chapman, Class of 2007, is the strength/conditioning coach and will be a position coach on D.

He’s been on Madison Southers’s staff the past couple of years.
