Sounds like they are just waiting on an answer then. But I’ve seen people on here saying guys who won the C team championship would be good options. That’s great but coaching 4th grade or whatever grade C team is does not compare to coaching at the high school level. That’s like saying hey I’m a great high school coach let me apply for the Cincinnati Bengals job. It feels like Pburg is going have to make an offer that’s just too good to pass up for Sullivan to leave Pikeville.

I believe some people are just throwing out names to get a laugh. If Sullivan was Pikeville's head coach, then it would be insane for him to leave Pikeville for the Prestonsburg job, but he's not. He may be a guy who is looking to take the next step in his coaching career by being a head coach. Who knows when McNamee will retire, and we all know things can change in a blink of an eye when it comes to politics and who may replace McNamee when he decides to step down. Nothing in this life is certain! I don't know Sullivan from Adam, but he seems to be well respected and people seem to have faith in him as a head coach, rather it be at Pikeville, Prestonsburg, or somewhere else. 

Don't get me wrong, there are some difficult people within the program from the feeder system on up. They not only consist of dad's, but there are a few mothers/grandmothers who are just as bad or not worse. My point is all programs have difficult people, but we need a coach who is going to stand up to these people and say it's "either my way or the highway", while producing positive results on the field. If that happens I truly believe everything else will fall into place. Prestonsburg is a good job, with a lot of good people who support the program and want nothing more than to field a winning product and with the right coach it can happen. There is talent at the high school, middle school, and elementary level. There isn't any excuse with the current alignment why Prestonsburg couldn't win the district this year, and possibly have a shot at a regional title. 2A football in Eastern Kentucky isn't that strong, and we were blessed to be in weak district and aligned with another weak district during the playoffs. We aren't playing Beechwood, Somerset, or Breathitt in the first three rounds of the playoffs, but rather competing against Shelby Valley, Betsy Layne, and Pike Central. With the right person at the helm, the tradition that we all are accustomed to, could return.
