Hager may bring excitement but he’s still young in this development- Brandon Brewer was and is an excellent X&Os coach. The man can coach football but people didn’t give him a fair shake.

How much more did he need. Brewer was a nice guy but he wasn’t bought in. To turn Pburg around you will have to have someone obsessed. That has their hands in all levels of the program. Youth up. They will have to sale the team to the community and fight off a lot of negativity. Plus they will have to inspire. Brewer was never going to be that guy.

Brewer was never going to be that guy because the community didn’t want him to be.

not to mention the absolute lack of talent he had to coach with.

It's apparent that you only get on here to bash Prestonsburg. I get it, there are a lot of issues with people around the program, parents, and other factors that have led to the down fall of the football program, but the only way to build it back up is to support it. If Brewer didn't have talent on his coaching staff, it was on him. He was the head man, so therefore he picks his staff. Personally, I liked Brewer, but it was time to part ways. Is Hager the answer, I don't know and I certainly hope so. People need to be patient, because this year they are going to take their lumps! This is a rebuilding year, literally. A lot of young kids are going to be thrown to the wolves, and they are going to get their feet wet early. If Hager can put a competitive team on the field, and keep all of the kids in place, it will be a successful year, regardless of the record. Hager didn't create this mess, but the expectation is that he will take steps in fixing it this year. Prestonsburg has a lot of talent in the Middle School, and a strong freshman class. If Hager can take steps in the right direction this year, there is no reason for Prestonsburg not to win the district for the foreseeable future.

The issues around the program have led it to the spot it’s in. The principal allowed parents to run his school and then overrun the football program. 

And the funny thing is, the kids of those parents aren’t going to see the benefit of moving on from Brewer because they’ll all be  graduated before Pburg is capable of winning again.
