Does Pburg have a deadline they wanted a coach in place? An off season program is critical and they need a coach in place. Thought a decision would be made by the end of January but it hasn’t happened.

The principal has no care in the world about football.  He is probably waiting for someone to tell him what to do.

Then why is he the principal? It is shocking to me these guys and gals get these jobs and have 0 clue on how to run a school

Pburg's principal is more than capable of running a school and an athletic department, dude represented the 15th region for athletics for years when he was at Betsy Layne. Lol

Respectfully he is a puppet for certain people in the community.  Just ask Brewer how he was forced to resign.  He will tell you the ultimatum.  

Thacker has no clue on how to operate an athletic department. He gets ran over by parents.  

just because you “represent” the 15th region for years doesn’t mean you are qualified.  

Once you get a coach in there that will stand up to the BS and these controlling parents, that program will NEVER get back to a winning level.  Hell, you can’t even compete fin your own county anymore.  Prestonsburg football only lost once in Floyd county since football started in 1925.  Now it’s just a clown show.

How exactly does a parent control the coach? When my son played at Belfry we had a parent meeting we had to attend the day of the first practice. Haywood went over expectations and that how each player would act on the field and in the school. Also made it clear it didn’t matter who you were or how much money you made playing time was the best players who gave the team best shot to win. Also made it clear what each player could do to help themselves if they weren’t happy with their playing time. Extra work/film outside of practice hours, etc. You can’t play kids based on who their parents are. If they are that much better everyone will see it and know they should be on the field is how I saw it.
