Do you people realize that 5 or 6 of the assistant coaches at Boyle have been successful head coaches at other schools, I wouldn’t trade anyone of the coaches on Boyle’s Staff for Corbin’s whole staff, and I really don’t see what all the fuss is about Haddix as a head coach he’s 71-31 with 3 District titles in his career I mean Boyle’s defensive coordinator has 8 state championship rings, until Haddix and his staff start winning state titles I don’t see anything to crow about and let’s not forget how weak that district is that Corbin won those district titles in.

You just hammered the nail squarely on the head! Haddix is a pretty good coach but not what a lot of the folks in red make him out to be in terms of something significant or that much better than everyone around the area. He's assembled a great staff at a tradtition rich school. Let's not forget he was barely above .500 in four seasons at PCC, he wasn't doing anymore there than a lot of coaches are doing at those types of places and would have went down with the ship had he not made the jump to Corbin when he did because of the swings in talent at a place like PCC. Not a knock on him, just the reality of that situation, it happens, John Hines didn't forget how to coach just because he won 4 games this year.

There is LOTS of great football coaches in this area of the state. John Hines, Dudley, French, Dixon, Herron, Lucas, Tom Larkey, Chuck Smith, Jon Clark, Shawn Thompson, and I am sure I'm leaving some out, but these guys have all done just as much or more in some cases than the Corbin coaches and some have done it with much less resources at schools with a whole lot less tradition. Some of my posts come off as critical of Corbin or Haddix or this or that but in reality it just gets old hearing about how great something is when they haven't done anything more than several coaches have within an hours drive of their own school. Haddix will win a state title if he stays at Corbin, it will come sooner or later, but at Corbin that's what's expected regardless of the coach. And this is not to say Corbin don't have good coaches, because they do, but that whole school system shines in everything they do and that's more of a credit to the community there than anything else. Boyle County is the same way in terms of community.
