Rumor has it if Scottie Johnson gets the job Justin Triplet is going to be the offensive coordinator for the jags this upcoming season.

Yea I’ve heard this as well. This would be a good asset to the team IMO. He knows ball!

Sure does buddy. I think if Triplet doesn’t get the head coaching job he will still be the offensive coordinator
and be making the play calls. I’d get him to call the offense or even be the head coach for the jags. Has a kid coming up in the program with him being guidance counselor and wanting to be the principal of Floyd Central. So I really think he could be a great coach and fit for the kids he knows them all really well. Gotta give it to him. HE NEEDS IT AND THATE THE TRUTH

Well said, sir!

[TheTruth!]

Alan Jo Moore is going to help with the offensive line I heard. They sure need someone like him to help with that line.

[hchs fan]

well

Who is Scottie Johnson, Justin Triplett & Alan Jo Moore?

Here I thought I knew people and have kept up with high school football in EKY for many years, and I have no clue who any of these guys are.

[Jelly Roll]

Two of them are basketball coaches that should tell you enough about how serious the administration is about football.

Moore is the Boys basketball coach. From what I’ve read on here Johnson was the defensive coordinator under Hager that gave up nearly 60 points a game. I know Triplett used to be the girls basketball coach not really sure what he does now.

Lol, wow.

I have no words

[pirateforlife]

I’f this is serious might as well make the cheerleading coach the special teams coordinator.

[Yetty]

If Justin Triplett does get the offensive coordinator that would be one interesting thing to see. He coach middle school football and didn’t do well with development but , them were little kids that didn’t know how to play so it will be different seeing him coach older players.

[Jelly Roll]

Promote a DC to head coach from one of the worst teams in the state. Really no words for it other than might as well shut it down.

[pirateforlife]

Did any of these guys that are on the staff now coach at Allen Central or South Floyd?

[Jelly Roll]

Don’t think the basketball coaches have ever coached football other than Triplett who someone posted helped with the Jr high team
this year. The board should get involved and make sure they get the proper coach. To big of school with the feeder programs shouldn’t be that bad. It would take a couple years and everyone to buy in but what they are saying it will be the same one of the worst teams
In the state year in year out.

Was Donny Daniels not interested in this job?

I have no words

Most of us up this way gave up trying to articulate the words  a while back...   Nothing surprises me anymore...

I feel sorry for the families and kids that love football down that way.

Floyd County Schools have failed their athletes during most of my life, especially the last 20 years. Coaches are criminally underpaid, but expected to win at a high level, each school in the county lacks something for a sport that's popular with their athletes, whether that's not having a track at FCHS or BLHS, BLHS football lacking modern strength training equipment, Pburg not having a proper place to practice wrestling, etc. 

Hopefully the next superintendent for FCS makes athletics in this county more of a priority going forward. It's no secret that the two best academic schools in our region also have the two best athletics departments too.

I agree and Ive seen it too.. While they love to win, the board just does not seem to hold athletics in a very high regard.. I know several school administrators personally and while they are fine folks, love the kids and like to win.......They just don't see athletics as any kind of priority, more like a side hustle... They get by as cheap as they can, and get what they can from it inside those parameters... I mean when you have the newest, nicest and biggest school in the county having to have non-football coaches help coach football then things are not being taken seriously by someone...Not a knock on those folks helping t all. I commend them giving their time..

Floyd co sports can’t be taken serious anymore. They hire who ever to coach and most of them are unqualified. They get into coaching not for the players but so their child can play every minute because they can’t earn it. When you get a coach like a jarred Jarrell at blhs who is actually there for the players the school doesn’t have the money to help build a program.

[-STAT-]

The buddy system has been in play in this county for a long, long time. It's not what you know, it's pretty much who you know. Something's gotta give and something has to change, doubt it ever will which is the sad part.

Why would you use Jarred Jarrell as an example? I'm genuinely curious. I appreciate what JJ did as a player at Pburg, and I like his fire and grit, but no coach who is truly there for the players and cares for them deeply would turn a blind eye to the way that a few of those players acted in the Pburg game last month. He could have taught all of his kids a very valuable life lesson in that game when some of them started getting frustrated by calls not going their way and appeared to just give up on trying to play football and score altogether and instead just started trying to hurt or pick fights with the Pburg kids in the 2nd half, but he didn't do anything about it other than yell at the refs. It was a huge teaching oppurtunity for both the kids actively involved in the personal fouls and also the younger kids on the sideline observing the lack of discipline from some of the older players. Instead of trying to punish or correct that behavior he reinforced it by letting it go on without pulling any of them out of the game and actually caring for them by coaching them up to play sportsmanlike, respectful football. Board, funding, or school administrations have nothing to do with that kind of thing. It's just bad, neglectful coaching. Don't want to hijack this thread and make it all about JJ or BL, but it struck me as an odd thing to say after how the most promising season in school history ended with such a shameful performance as that was.

If I’m Floyd Central im trying to get Jenkins on my schedule ???
