[thought for today]

Coach Jones from estill is a steal, he is here already, he took a jacked up program and took it beyond respectability, great on the job experience, runs a offense that is very difficult to deal with, great if you got athletes or not, always got a chance, may bring a few coaches / players with him, players absolutely love him, tremendous weight program, would be there for long haul cause he is from estill, and these are just a few.

[blitz43]

All i know is that when whitaker was the coach about 30 players weight lifted everyday. Now there is an estimated 5-10 that go everyday now. Its quite possible that Ryan Frailey and John Flinchim arn't playing this year!

We have about 11 that show up after school. The rest of them lift during last period. That would be about 17 more. We have about 6 on the baseball team that play. That brings the total to about 34, give or take a few that may have quit. I think we have about an average of 30. That puts us on course. We average about 35 kids on the last few football teams.You also get 3 or 4 that come out at the start of July practice. Don't really like that but that's the way it is. They need to be out there lifting like the rest.

You have to have some bulls to run that offense. We have gotten stronger but not sure if that offense would work here. Just my opinion.

According to the KDE website, a coaching position doesnt have to be posted 30 days......Only a teaching position. Which means you could hire a coach in 1 day.....and then give him the teaching position when the posting requirement is up. There are also ways to get around it. Super can request a waiver for posting the teaching position for 30 days.

Didn't realize that. Thanks for the info.irateSho

[blitz43]

I heard form a reliable source that Whitaker himself was pretty much in charge of finding a replacement. Can anyone else confirm or deny this? If it is true, that really shows how much the administration in Powell County is interested in football.

I think he has some input concerning the new coach but I think the commitee has the final say.irateSho

Not so sure about that, it would work great at Powell County, your boys have gotten stronger, but one of the hidden gems of Coach Jones that no one notices is his experience in the weight room. It will work, if he had the chance to get the boys in the weight room and do things his way. Strength for the spread and the double wing are two different types. It would be no problem getting the double wing off the ground in Stanton, as long as the kids commit. Estill's kids were never that strong until Jones arrived.

I know we got some very strong kids, I just thought that they would have to be able to push people around. I will admit. Estill whooped our butts the last 2 yrs. with that stuff. Their kids were very strong & disiplined.

Very true, but how did they get that way? See what I'm getting at? It can be done, and can be done very easily, as long as there is commitment, Powell has had some issues with that in the past, but haven't we all?

Clay City times named Brandon Brewer and a guy from Clark co. as the possible replacements I heard.

[BOBCAT]

He is backing Preston from what I hear.

[maverick23]

The guy from Clark co. Will do a great job. I heard he wants to run the spread offense like whitaker. He is defensive minded and creates great relationships with his players.

[maverick23]

I have followed the Clark Co Coach for a few years and he has had a lot of success against some big 6A schools. He is good. He builds relationships with his players and expects a lot of them. I have heard that the defense is the only bright spot in Clark Co. I think that he would be a great fit in Powell Co. I heard that he loves the spread offense and will run it, and has Whitakers play book. He knows how to coach every position offensively and defensively. If Powell wants to keep the excitement and winning they should go for the Clark Co. coach.

[maverick23]

Clark Co. coach is the best fit for Powell. He will run the spread offense that they love and is very defensive minded. He will be prepared to play any team. He has stumped most 6A schools.

[P.C.Defense]

I worked for Doug, He is an excellent coach. I.M.O. alot would have to happen for them to land coach Preston. No offense to the other coaches interested in the job. He's in a good situation where he's at.

[P.C.Defense]

I'm still going to put in a good word for Tyler Puckett. He works hard and does a good job. He's in the building most of the time and the players are behind him. I know the admin. is going to do what is best for the program but don't forget about Tyler Puckett. He's put in a lot of time there.

[F.N.L.]

He is backing Preston from what I hear.

If they even consider another coach if Preston is in fact interested
They are out of their minds. He played for a state championship DUAHHHHHHHHHH. Should be a NO BRAINER! A little common sense please here please. Do they even realize at Powell he played for a state championship? Must be doing a little something right.

[F.N.L.]

A little math= Played for a State championship=DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
You can be a good coach and win 10 games. To play for a state championship means you are simply among the elite coaches in the state. Alot of good coaches never play on the carpet. That's just a senario that sounds too good to happen to me.I bet I know who's been calling him evry day lmao.

[P.C.Defense]

Coach P is a Great coach! We have been friends long before this came about.
Sounds like alot of good coaches interested in the Powell job. A little math for you, Whoever gets the job knows coach Mike Whitaker has turned the corner with the program and has left it in good shape for the next coach. He has made their job a whole lot easier. So here's my math for you. Never had a winning season / by 1 and 9 year before coach Whitaker came x 1st winning season in Powell history in only 2 seasons = New coach's job a whole lot easier. Got a calculator handy there bub?

[KYcoalminer]

Are you guys talking about the Head Coach at Clark County? If so, talk about under acheiving with the talent he has had over the years.

[F.N.L.]

:lmao:

The AD needs to make one call; to Brandon Brewer. Offer him the job and give him what he needs to succeed. I guarantee he can get it done, and he won't leave after two seasons. What Powell needs is consistency and Brewer would provide that. Don't waste your time with anyone else.

:wieghts:

[F.N.L.]

Love playing for him? The guy is CRAZY! If a kid makes a wrong step the Hulk will more than likely come out. He will have some major roid rage going on. He'd be the worst choice EVER!!

:lame: :ape:

They have not stumped any lately and why is running the spread offense so important. You can win running the football. Just ask Phillip Haywood, Ivan Maglone or Dudley Hilton.

No they are not talking about the head coach at clark. They are talking about the Defensive coordinator at Clark. The defense has been the bright spot at Clark for years.

Hmm! Are you saying that you can not run the ball out of the spread. Henry Clay has been very successful running the ball out of the spread. You do not have to get in the I or Power I to run the ball. Even South Laurel has been successful running the ball out of the spread. You guys crack me up thinking there is only two ways to run the ball.

So FNL how many games have you watched. Probably none. So you do not know much about stumping anyone.

What really stumps me is the 07 Clark team. Top 25 in the state preseason and done well to win a game. Giving up 54, 45, 41 that really stumps me from juggernaut defense that supposedly stumps everyone as you have quoted.
Not to mention it was supposed to be the BEST team in GRC history. I am also stumped that a defense that stumps everyone gave up 320 points? All I ever hear about GRC is NO DISCIPLINE and THE LEAST WITH THE MOST. last season you gave up 49 , 40, 35, 30, 37, who are you stumping in 6a as you have quoted? Let us not start the " Look at who we are playing defensive tactic "
they are 6a just like you, same amount of students you have. So in all honesty we can rule that out. I'm stumped trying to figure out all these 6a teams your stumping as you have said. But I guess being from a 6a school makes you an elite applicant where you were an assistant coach. A 6a school that has failed to really be competetive in 6a the past couple years.

You are right and Haywood, Maglone and Hilton are wrong. I'm sure they crack you up lining up in the wishbone or power I. I bet you could clinic them up on how silly that is and you would know being from 6a GRC.
