When it comes to accomplishments there is no debating #1.. noone in EKY even really comes close to Haywood's resume.

Hilton's merits speak for themselves..I think he is the clear #2. What defines him more than anything and how good he was as a coach is not anything he did at Bell... but what he did at Bourbon in such a short time frame.


Mike Holcomb I think gets overlooked a little because of recent history and the current state of Breathitt County football. Considering the location of Breathitt there is no doubt he did the most with less talent pool at his disposal. Breathitt County from all intents of purposes should have never became a state power. Holcomb to me maximized talent better than any coach in EKY.

Hilliard Howard also is a victim of the end of his career. His Pikeville career was amazing. His stint at Letcher Central I thought kind of tarnished his legacy a bit even though he made that program solid during his tenure.

Miracle is old school but was on top of his game

Matney needs the hardware... he has proven he can build a program like noone's business though

To Me:
1. Haywood
2. Hilton
3. Holcomb
4. Miracle
5. Howard


A few names who deserve some more love in this thread:
Coach Dixon at Hazard
Coach Roark at Middlesboro
Coach Derossett at Pburg

No way Howard is 5th. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt by assuming your account has been hacked.
