you must think taking the first week after dead period off is program suicide right?

Whats the benefit of taking the first week after dead period off?

Belfry used to do the same. Not sure if they do it still. They’d start a week after the KHSAA allowed practices. Never hurt them. It’s nearly a 5 month season if you start on July 10 and make it to the state finals.

That generation of kids is gone. Why would you go through a 2-9, 3-8 season when you can go 15 mins down the road and compete for championships
Exactly what kind of championship are you talking about? Definitely not a state championship. District? Don’t really know the rosters of both but didn’t Betsy Layne graduate a special senior class? Are they expected to be able to compete for a region championship this year? Can they be a top 10 2A team this year? I don’t get why the kids are leaving? Brewer was the blame before but now he’s gone and kids are still leaving so maybe he wasn’t as big of a problem as they said. I wonder if they would be leaving if Pburg would have hired the coach from Pikeville.
With the additions to the roster, Betsy Layne should be considered the favorite in their district. They also have a strong chance of making the regional championship round with the sister district being down this year.

Are all the new additions transfers from Pburg?

If Betsy Layne can keep Parsons and McCutcheon healthy then they can win district and compete for region as well. Bobcats will have arguably the best offensive line in the region and 3 really good skill players. Again, key will be keeping the two I mentioned above healthy. There’s no backup QB and really no backup RB option either.

Prestonsburg is deeper than BL at the skill positions, but the complete opposite on the line.

If they want to win it they better do it this year cause the big red machine is going to be in that district next year.

To me it’s about like if a kid left Belfry to go over and play at Pike Central. Pburg used to be on the level that Belfry, Pikeville, and Johnson Central are now. But that was a while ago and none of the kids in school now can remember those days. To them all they know is Betsy Layne has been the top team in Floyd. County. Heck I’m sure most of them don’t remember South Floyd and Allen central being a school. And why are they leaving without ever giving the new coach a shot? Do they not like him and the staff?
Prestonsburg used to be very good. And had several years where they were outstanding and legit title contenders. But they have never ever been on the level of Belfry/Pikeville in point in their program/school history in football consistently (more than a couple years at a time here and there).

It would only be like belfry kids leaving for pike central if pike central beat them twice in a year.
Every head coach had to have a start somewhere. And unfortunately for Prestonsburg in its current state, it’s a great place for a young new head coach to begin his career.

The past few years Prestonsburg hasn’t been that high profile job; if it was, then you would’ve had some high profile candidates…the job would’ve recruited a coach itself instead of DrJudge making phone calls begging to apply.

I would just say, sit back, relax and enjoy the show and quit blaming other people for in house mistakes and take responsibility for your own actions.

Let Hager build his own program and legacy…support the kid….if anyone on here thought they could do the job then you should apply. If not, then keep your fingers off the keyboard.

Fingers will be off the keyboards now because most of those guys will be too busy coaching this fall.

Are you really having a hard time seeing the big picture here?  I think you are more intelligent than that.  It  would not have been a big deal if the entire team had taken off, but for the coach to abandon the team, go on vacation, and expect his team to continue give their blood, sweat, and tears while he is laying on the beach somewhere???  What kind of message does that send to his team, especially he being a first year coach?  How can he now expect the team to go all in?  He obviously isn't all in.  How can he expect the players to have any respect for him now?  It's sad.

So what you are saying, is that the new coach, cant trust his players, to continue on doing what they should to get ready for the season without him present, while the asst coaches run things.

I see the picture just fine, a coach that probably had a summer vacation planned before he even took the job, went on vacation after school got out and before the season started, assigned volunteer workout plans to an assistant coach while he was gone.  

God forbid he have a life out side of football, a family, any other thoughts but football.

Being a Head Coach = cant take a vacation, got it. 


 You going to go after other head coaches that missed practices in June too?  I mean like state championship winning coaches, who missed practice taking kids to college campus for unofficial visits? Do they get the big picture, they missed practice.

I guess I was wrong, you really aren't smart enough to see the picture.  BTE, don't ever meant my mom on any post ever again.
 Another reason why pburg is the worst head coaching job in Eastern ky.. I truely feel for wesley
Yea, I really don't think he understands what a hornets nest he stepped in.Damned if he does, damned if he dont. I hope the best for him, I am gonna give him a chance though.. We will see I guess
^^^It's the Prestonsburg administration and football parents who need another chance, not a 1st year very young coach. Although as others have said, taking a vacation outside the dead period in your first week in your first year as a HC is an atrocious look, he will figure it out. Prestonsburg football may be unsaveable, leave the young guy alone and let him do his thing. May be your last chance for another generation or more or maybe ever.

What folks aren’t factoring in is that Prestonsburg’s field is being redone. They’ve not been able to be on it at all prior to the dead period starting so I wouldn’t put much focus on the coach going on vacation. Odds are they were only doing weightlifting for the past few weeks while the field is being resurfaced so Hager probably made out a plan for assistants to put in place.

Awesome thought for an excuse. 

There are multiple photographs of the team practicing on the river bank with field lines drawn. That wouldn’t have been a factor.

The missing the week of June thing is a little overblown- it’s not going to make or break his tenure. It’ll be forgot about besides the people on this board when they lose a game.

It’s a bad look when you come take over a program that’s in shambles to go kick your feet up and relax instead of being there leading the charge trying to fix it. 

Especially when you have no quality assistants on staff who could be in charge of a high level practice.

Looked like good numbers as I drove through town today. 

How did day one go?

I was able to watch most of the practice. Missed about 30 mins or so, but it looks like it went really good from what I saw. 

Skills looked good prepping for 7v7. Seen a few mistakes here and there, but nothing that can't be cleaned up with more reps.

Solid amount of linemen have come out, so that's good to see.

New turf field/track ribbon cutting ceremony was this morning also. That went well also.
