LCC must of reached way down in their pocketbook. Sources are telling me that Mike Holcomb of Breathitt Co may be the next head coach for LCC. Although he would be crazy to leave Breathitt Co because they pay him more than enough and he has been there for 30 years. Sources also tell me that it is a package deal for Holcomb and Deny Fugate (BHS basketball Coach). Fugate would get the head basketball coach at LCC. Also it as been said that Wes Noble the outstanding reciever in football, and one of the top guards in the 14th region maybe enrolled there next year. I know that Mike Holcomb has almost left BHS before, in the late 90's he put in for the Madison Central job twice, he also try to make the jump to the college rank when he put in for the LWC job. Holcomb I think want to see if he can still get them big jobs and then at the last second he always decides to stay at Breathitt Co. But this time is different I really think deep down he is gone this time.

And, that is why he would make more at LCC. He could get his KTRS pay for 30 years + an additional salary (to a certain % of his retirement pay) at LCC.

See:
Jack Haskins (McCracken County HS, formerly Lone Oak)
Larry French (Boyle)
Tom Larkey (Harlan County)

All of those guys get their KTRS retirment (full benefits, pay included obviously) + another coaching stipend at their current school (and, often times 100 day contracts or daily classified pay for doing things like ISS).
