No, I think, if you read what was said, you will see that it is more the idea that Pikeville is entitled to anything! And, if you haven't noticed, the last time we were at the tip top of class A was the 80's.

Additionally, I think the other gentlemen were agreeing with me that this is not a dream job by any stretch of the imagination.... too much pressure and too much community interference. That is typically why good coaches don't seem to last here (Except for Hillard who is the exception to EVERY rule)! There seems to be no appreciation for the people that worked hard all their lives as players, non-paid assistants, teachers, and assistants... instead, most of the community wants to look down their nose at those people and spread rumors and lies. It is time for all alumni and currently interested parties to face facts-- these are not the glory days of PHS athletics, not by a long shot.... Good luck to whomever the board hires.... with all of these assistants out there who know more than you do, you're gonna need it!

Of course, feel free to disagree, but this is just my opinion!

I do disagree. Pikeville was a top notch class A power in the 90's and even in the year 2000. They were almost always ranked in the top three at least and made deep runs into the playoffs. They were in the state semi finals darn near every year. I also did not think that the board was doing the hiring. I thought that they formed a commitee to go through the applications and then do the interviews. What assistants no more than who?
This makes it sound like you already know who the hire is. I would say that whomever applies and is considered for the job will know his fair share of football whether he be an assistant or a former head coach.
