This is an important hire for the Hazard football program and I am sure they want to get it right but when are they going to make a hire? Are they having issues finding someone? When does one start to worry about losing players due to not hiring someone yet? Of course whoever takes over has a tough hill to climb. Even with the young talent coming up, unless they bring in some players along with the new coach, it will take a couple years. Football is a little tougher to ride on the shoulders of underclassmen and that is literally what Hazard is made up of.

They’re making sure they make the right hire so they don’t get “grizzled” again. They’ve interviewed a couple solid coaches. I think everyone knows it’s not gonna be an overnight turn around so they’re crossing all their t’s and dotting all their I’s to make sure they make the best hire.

This makes sense. I think a lot of people forget that Grizzle was the initial hire after Dixon and he backed out late. That is when Howard stepped in. I feel Hazard needs to find someone who will come in and stay. There is no quick fix in this hire as you mentioned. I do feel there is good football at Hazard and the last year was one of those years that nobody wants to experience but it won't be down long. That is what makes this hire important as if they begin playing coaching carousel the next couple seasons it may keep them down much longer than it should be.
