[I was the greatest]

Matney knows how to use the players he has, you think that if he had a QB that could throw for 2,000 yards he wouldn't run an "Air Raid" style offense. Not only that, we got 2 running backs more than capable of rushing for 1,500 yards. Why can't a college team win running a belly-veer, Georgia Southern does it, Georgtown runs alot of the veer, St.Francis runs the veer. This is NAIA we are a talking about, ALOT of NAIA teams are successful running the veer. Jim Matney could coach in the NAIA, and WIN cause he is a winner and a strong, STRONG competitor.

matney has had some outstanding throwing qbs nathan moore and jesse watts to mention a few but he hasn't had the talent around them to be successful
you have to have a string of talent over a few years to really be able to change an offense completely so he has stuck with what works you usually have to have a really really good d that can hold a team under 14 points for a risky o like the air raid o to work and be successfull week in and week out and with the lack of speed in the mountains compared to the rest of the state it is hard to get good burners down the field to throw it up all the time
and lets face it 4-7 and 4-8 40's are not fast for wide outs you can build a good ball control run game with that speed
and as for matney not leaving jc for years i honestly believe that if matney was offered a college job he would take it he is a career coach not a teacher who happens to coach but a coach who happens to teach (a little) with the talent at pikeville college he can out x and o any coach
