Isn’t there any other people in the United States that some of these schools could hire?  It’s always the same names.  Yeah they are good coaches but doesn’t any ex-college players need a job?  Aren’t we allowed to hire from outside of the 14th region?  Baseball is baseball and they play it all over the county.  Same goes for basketball around here too.  Aren’t people willing to move into this area to coach and teach school?

From what I’ve seen it has been a disaster when schools do hire coaches right out of college. I can’t tell you how many schools I’ve seen hire a former college player with little to no coaching experience, and after a year or two he hangs it up. My advice is start hiring these assistant coaches that have multiple years of experience. At least they’ve shown they at least want to make a career out of it. Another reason it’s the same names is because of the location of the area. It’s hard to take a pay cut like that. The teaching/coaching pay is the lowest in eastern KY. That has started to change apparently. I heard a crazy number with Coach Mehan going to Perry. lol!

What schools have done that in the 14th region?  Don’t know anyone hiring fresh out of college ball coaches.
