i just dont see what coaches see in jobs like this its an uphill battle to build something i guess you hope to walk out with your reputation in tact if you fail but that schedule is not a kind one for the jags and im not sure a bad record is gonna inspire the program from the top down i truly do wish the best

Besides Belfry, JC and Pikeville what area jobs aren't an uphill battle? You build the absolute best you can and you have to love the grind. Winning state titles aren't the only results that matter. Yes, hes going to lose next year, Im sure he knows that. Its about long term growth. Its going to be a years long battle.

apparently pburg lol

They had an excellent year in a really weak district. Hager did a fantastic job im not discrediting anything he did. They are not winning a state title anytime in the next idk 50 years or so. No one is outside of the 3 teams I mentioned and maybe Paintsville if they get back to the transfer portal have a shot at state wide success.  I hate the way you dont play for a "region title" anymore. football is a toughhhhh sport for multi school counties to compete in.

That district will stay weak, it’s something to be thankful for.

It’s absolutely tough for multi county schools counties when you have not even a 40K total population, and a spread out 40K at that amongst 3 schools.

But it’s also tough for one horse towns with the same, relative population distribution. 

Ride the waves of talent when they come through, keep your schedule competitive, yet safe & make the most of what you/they can.
