I will agree that we have HAD really good coaching in the past. But im just not impressed with the current HC. Too much talent and to many athletes have came through there the past couple of years not to have better results. I'm not saying he's a bad coach. But hes an average coach. I played under Coach Sawyers and briefly for Coach Garmon. Both coaches had us dominating the district and in the regional championship every year and one year the elite 8 of the state.
I think currently, he's almost pulling a tubby smith, he's not doing poor enough to let go, but he's def not overachieving at all. Just kinda bland in a way. I don't know who I'd trade them for. I don't follow other teams in baseball close enough now days. I always thought Rob Leddington would take the program to another level because of his knowledge of the game. But he was also a let down while here. I guess it was his management skills outside of actually knowing the game/ organizational skills. (I.E. practice, etc.) I think his lack of pitching skills and knowledge also hurt him as a HC as well. So I dunno who they should get?????

Coach Philpot has been at Corbin for 4 years. He has won 3 district titles. Corbin has won 3 region titles in their history, one of them being this year under Coach Philpot. I watched every game of the region tournament and Coach Philpot consistently made all the right decisions and coached an outstanding tournament.
