I was fortunate enough to have coaches that would never concede defeat without playing the game. The reason that there are so many running clock games in Kentucky high school football is that there are too many bad coaches in the state. Any change that does not result in a drastic improvement in the quality of coaching across the state is like putting a band aid over a wound and expecting it to stop arterial bleeding. Kentucky is blessed with many good to great basketball coaches but strong football coaches and programs are few and far between. Playing fewer football games would do nothing to address the real problem.

If school district administrators want to commit time and money to improving football across the state, then it will be done but that commitment obviously does not exist in most districts.

I will 100% agree with you on coaches!! Are their good coaches in bad situations? Yep! But if I were to guess, it’s a lot of bad coaches in what could be very decent situations if they had a good coach. I’m not
gonna name name’s, or schools. But if the administration can’t figure out that because Johnny road the bench for 4 years but stuck with it, decides one day I’ll be a coach, THAT DOESNT MAKE HIM QUALIFIED FOR THE JOB!! And I see it every day at a lot of programs. And I’m not talking about a freshman special teams coach! A DB coach, A Line coach. 99% couldn’t play at the next level (which dont mean they’ll be bad coaches) but they have no idea what it takes. They might go to a coaches seminar once year and that makes them qualified? I mean i applaud their time and effort, but I go to space camp that don’t make me fit to do a space walk!!
