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.

Again that's what is wrong. Because some schools haven't had great success in the past doesn't mean they shouldn't ever want anything better. We r mediocre so let's jus get anyone to coach us so we can stay that way. I'm sorry but I just don't believe in your way of thinking. Paintsville was almost ready to drop football when they made their hire & now look at them. Pikeville wasnt killin it for a long time before coach mac. Johnson central wasn't a perennial power until matney came along. Just because that's as good as you think this new school deserves doesn't mean the rest of us do. And by the way the mascot and the colors were just like the future hire - all Henry Webb. And one more for the road --- ALL eastern ky teams have been affected by the decline in the mining industry. But I will agree Sheldon Clark was prob hit the hardest
