Will anyone want this job? Not due to anything wrong with Casey County (some of the nicest folks I've been around), but with the situation they have had changing basketball coaches every year. And now they get a football coach who's had success and he leaves, unexpectedly for a job that is basically just as controversial and a similar talent pool. Something is off there. Casey may have to hire internally, and there are guys who are out there such as Coach Peach who left a close (proximity) job in Danville. Casey doesn't have Danville's tradition but I would have to think the pressure would be much less. Last year Casey seemed to be able to score at will, but their defense was atrocious. I was able to see bits and pieces of the Paducah Tilghman game and Casey was moving the ball on them, and even scored early. But their defense looked like a rabbit running through a pine woods with no underbrush. They just scampered right through Casey. Football needs a system that is invested for years in order to be successful. I feel Casey was going in the right direction on that front. But now it sounds like it's back to square one. I know I'm glad the Rockets played Casey early on.

Was it unexpected?  I had read elsewhere that it was known either before, or during, the season that Coach Stonebreaker was leaving after the season.
