This is pretty simple and straight forward to me. I don’t want to sound like a Derossett detractor I don’t know the man, only met him a few times. The proof is in the pudding, it was more than just a few parents being the reason he was fired. Ask around to the people who were there. There was serious allegations put on him and coaching staff. When someone is being considered for a position the best place to ask is previous employers. I believe if that is done then you’re answer becomes clear. He may bring some discipline, he may bring a few wins but when the dust settles it will be the same thing it always is and that’s an ugly ending with him being the one disciplined. I want mountain football to be great and if he’s hired I wish magoffin the best but as a Floyd county alum and someone who’s lived here all my life there’s just more bad than good when it comes to him. He applied before and someone less qualified was hired? Why would there be any different outcome this time. There are reasons.

Politics is the reason, good ole boy system. Hire your cousin or the local electrician, doctor, lawyer, carpenter, etc that has always lived here that has minimal time for the kids. I’m not trying to argue I just think he would be a great fit let him turn the program around. Ask everyone pre 2016 or whatever year that stuff supposedly happened and I’m sure they won’t have many Ill words. Coached for decades and nobody said a word till the last few years he was there. Prestonsburg hasn’t been close to a contender since he left, can’t be transfers outside of that one class everyone’s still there. On his way out the door he was still giving those kids everything they needed or wanted. Facilities, equipment, trips, the list goes on.
