[Fly Like a Duck]

Congrats to Coach Combs and Clay County.

As for those of you who are dissapointed, a couple things from someone who lives and has roots in a small community, who has also been around the game as a player and/or coach in some capacity until recently.

1) This is a dieing profession. As I stated in another thread, there has/is already been 24 schools across our state looking to find a new HFC so far this year and not a single one of them are due to coaches leaving for other coaching positions. Finding qualified people who WANT to coach HS Football in KY is hard enough just in and of itself.

2) It's Manchester/Clay County. Look around you. (Again, small town guy here, so let's not get in a tiz). How many proven coaches are going to uproot there families to come there, especially with no real tradition to speak of? Not many (or any from the sounds of who didn't apply).

Get behind Coach Combs and TOGETHER, see what can be done?! Sounds like a hell of an idea from the outside looking in.
