When u say Hagar is a builder what is that based on? The only head coaching position that I know he ever had was at Sheldon Clark & look what kind of shape he left that program in. Now he is the assistant coach at Prestonsburg & they sure aren't tearing the the gridiron up. It's very sad that the tax payers have spent that much money on a new school & new facilities & then not hire a coach that the community can believe in & rally behind. When I look at the surrounding counties I see coaches that the people & kids believe in because they are winners. For example, Haywood, Matney, Chirico, & Coach Mac. Why can't the people making these decisions in Floyd County have any vision? The Young men playing football in Floyd County deserve a great coach too. If he is in fact the new coach I pray that I'm wrong & he can turn that program into something?

HE didn't leave the program in that kind of shape. The decline of Martin County goes far beyond their sports, in particular, football program.

You better get somebody who loves the area and the community. You match that with somebody who has had success (and, he had plenty of that at Sheldon Clark), then you better role with him.

A new school, in a district with the Trinity of mountain football, not to mention a new school made of two places that just don't have that much of a football tradition isn't going to be a big draw to the masses. Just isn't.

I think Hager would be be a knockout of a hire.
