Sad to hear Jordan Ray will not be in the job. Happy that he got a substantial raise, good for him. Like I said in a previous post, a great young man and coach. If I could talk to him, I would ask him this, “why did you only think I deserved more money when you thought I was leaving?” Schools need to develop a deeper appreciation for assistant coaches.
As for the job, I don’t see anyone on the previous list that jumps out. Sullivan will stay at Pikeville. It suits him and he’s loaded for next year. Newsome is a great young man but it will be more of the same. Woods is solid but he stayed in trouble with the administration when he was at the middle school. I would expect more if he was the high school coach. The environment is different. A good person but just doesn’t fit with the current situation.Leslie is going nowhere. He is happy, successful and settled in Louisville. Matt Slone would be good too, but Prestonsburg typically doesn’t hire paraprofessionals. Setser is in the same boat, non-teacher means no job
Burchett would be the perfect candidate, but I can’t see him applying. More later.
