Not a knock on Prestonsburg, Pikeville fans don't want to lose him. Giving up being HC at Pikeville in the not too distant future to be HC at Prestonsburg right now would be a really bad decision. I'm sorry but that is just a fact. I think he would regret it in short order.

Do you believe Sullivan taking the Prestonsburg job would jeopardize him being the next head coach at Pikeville? I know others would want that job, but we all know Paul is the favorite as things stand today if McNamee hangs it up.

I'll answer a question with a question. How does it make any sense for him or Prestonsburg for him to go there for a year, maybe two only to go back to Pikeville? Lots of speculation, wishing and hoping on here, me included lol. I don't see it happening. I will bow out of this discussion now and wait and see like everyone else.

For Prestonsburg, he's worth the gamble. Paul Sullivan is exactly what Prestonsburg needs and I think this job can be a great job for him whether that's for 2 years or 20. This is after all a football school and football town. He grew up and played when Prestonsburg was rolling. Support for the program and him will be there. He'll have respect and he'll have a team that can win a district championship in year one.

So going from winning 4 state championships in 5 years and heavily favored to win another one this year to MAYBE winning the weakest 2A district in the state (big maybe). Sounds lovely.

True but if he built Prestonsburg into a winner it’d prove he can build a program. If he can turn them into what Shelby Valley has been lately I think that’s a success. David Jones was on the Belfry staff when they were winning all the state championships. He left to take over Phelps. He knew he wasn’t winning a state championship at Phelps but he turned a program that hadn’t won a game in like 3 years to consistently winning 5-6 games a year.

I'm sorry guys I really wish Prestonsburg the best. But you guys can argue until you're blue in the face why it would make sense for any coach or player to leave Pikeville and go to Prestonsburg in the year 2024. But deep down everybody knows better. It would be worse than a terrible move, it would be borderline insane. Will Sullivan make the move? I have no idea. I'm out.

My kids have already graduated but I still keep up with high school football in the area. I probably wouldn’t take the job cause of the political bs that ran Brewer off. But he also had 6 seasons and didn’t win a playoff game. Probably was time for a change but did seem like he had people fighting against him from year 1 which made it more difficult
