The difference between the county and the city is that the city has always taken care of their own, while the county has bypassed their own in favor of people from the city in hopes of hurting the city school system. Its the same deal--a slap in the face to the county staff.

I can't think of any football examples, but there are some in other sports of county graduates coaching at Harlan:

The last two basketball coaches, Tommy Hensley and David Parks, are Cawood graduates.
The current girls basketball coach, Derrick Akal, is a Cumberland graduate.
The current baseball coach, Robbie Burns, is a Cawood graduate. Previous coaches also had county connections, Butch Steele, from Evarts, Jackie Cornett, from Cumberland, David Evans, from Evarts, and Todd Murner, from Lynch.
Two recent principals, Sheila Smith and Stacy Noah, were Cawood graduates.
