I've never stated that anyone is interviewing. A lot of people are on here just throwing around rumors or making things up in their heads. I heard last week the interviewing process was starting today, and he was the first interview. I know there are other applicants which have been mentioned previously, but as far as them being interviewed or when, I'm not certain. As far as Prestonsburg being in shambles, I disagree. There is talent at the high school, a strong 7th and 5th grade class at the feeder level, solid facilities, a community who backs the program, and we play in a weak district and region. After this year if the current alignment stands. Prestonsburg should be the overwhelming favorite to win the district for the foreseeable future.

First Bold:  The community has been hearing of this class and that class being strong in the feeder programs.  When Brewer was hired 6 seasons ago thats what was said too..."wait till this 6-7 grade class becomes Juniors and seniors" and look what happened.  You cants put all your eggs in the feeder program basket everytime something goes array.  You have to work with what you have, implement your system and roll with it...You cant coach the future, you can only coach the present.

Now for the second bold:  I wouldnt call the district weak when pburg hasnt won a district championship since 2017.  Pburg makes the district weak?  Knott Co has been Historically bad ok...Floyd Central is competitive and can beat Prestonsburg not weak, Betsy Layne is a competitive game now and they beat Prestonsburg twice last season...not weak anymore...Now Martin County, Historically the Cardinals have an advantage over Prestonsburg in District games and MC beat Betsy Layne 35-6 in the playoffs and BL beat Prestonsburg by two touchdowns,...Not weak...The only teams that are weak now in this district are Prestonsburg and Knott CO.  

Now for the Region....So you are saying Breathitt and Beechwood are weak?  Come on now... The reason Belfry stayed in 3A was to stay away from Beechwood and Mayfield...

The next coach does have some work ahead of him, and I hope they are ready for the challenge of getting Prestonsburg up and running again because its going to be a long haul as long as the parents and politics stay out of it.
