[HOF14th]

How can u put Bryan Dean up there.ya he has won some games, but he also folds under pressure.look at the 3 region title games in a row.he just plain sucks under pressure.he was only over matched 1 year in the championship game.the other 2 he should have won.he told the kids in summer ball of 2005 that he was going to get out while he could.the next season was going to be tough.well look what he knew.Powell won the Region.i can tell you this though, they wouldn't have won it with him there.I have played for him, and now for Varney, i would take Varney over him any day.Smart wise, Varney puts him away.Just wait.You will see.Dean will fold again this year.He has been back to Powell twice since leaving, both were losses.That's not a good start.

Well I guess we can delete this post now can't we? Since we saw what Coach Dean did @ LCC this year. In only his 2nd year of rebuilding baseball in Letcher County. I have known Bryan for many years, but I got to know him on a personal basis this year. He is one of the best HS baseball minds in the mountains and he gives credit to this from his mentors, Burley Hudson, Gene Combs, and his Dad. He truly cares for his kids @ LCC, but also his kids he had @ Powell. Also the guys that played when he was an assistant @ Breathitt, Lee and Owsley Co. He along with his assistants, boosters, and players Dad's rebuilt the field @ Neon so they would have a home field to play on. Also I think he has one of the best staff's as well with Claude Little, Cavanaugh Trent, and Brent Martin helping turn LCC into a regional contender every year if they build a new field @ LCC. So the Letcher Co. BOE better be moving some dirt or I believe Coach Dean will be moving on to greener pastures. He's a pretty attractive hire right now if they don't. The 14th Region has some of the best coaches in HS baseball with Bobby Keith Dixon @ Perry, Varney @ Powell, Hammonds @ Knott, Meehan @ Hazard, Russell Melton @ Leslie, Steve Melton @ Cordia, Anderson @ Jenkins, Wood @ Estill but if I had to hire a guy to lead a baseball program right now Bryan Dean is that guy. Also this part about him folding under pressure @ Powell I don't recall him playing in those games. He can't hit,catch, and run for you. Maybe it was you guys, don't blame him.
