[Fly Like a Duck]

Flying Duck are you really comparing this coach to Duffy and the others? I think you missed it on the analogy just a bit. Need to come up with some others because those do not fit this situation at all.

I don't KNOW the situation at Middlesboro. None. All I did was list SOME (and, there are plenty of others out there) coaches (young and old) who have had some really crappy years.

Did you know Kevin Wallace was the Head Coach at Warren East HS for 10 years back in the 80's-90's before going back to Bowling Green as an assistant and literally having the job fall in his lap in the summer of '96? His record over that 10 years at Warren East was almost 20 games below .500, he'd never had a winning record in that time and also had never won a playoff game. He's since turned BG into a Maserati. Obviously, he was a good coach (now proven to be a GREAT one, and maybe the best our state has ever seen).

Sam Harp's first coaching job was at Calloway County back in the early 80's, and they were HORRIBLE, too. I want to say they won 12 games or so in 4-5 seasons? He then ends up at Anderson County, and wins the schools FIRST EVER Region Title in 1987 I believe it was.....He then goes to Danville, and well...the rest is history. He did to Danville (in the old 4 class system) what Kevin Wallace did and has done to BG.
