Yea I’ve heard this as well. This would be a good asset to the team IMO. He knows ball!

Sure does buddy. I think if Triplet doesn’t get the head coaching job he will still be the offensive coordinator
and be making the play calls. I’d get him to call the offense or even be the head coach for the jags. Has a kid coming up in the program with him being guidance counselor and wanting to be the principal of Floyd Central. So I really think he could be a great coach and fit for the kids he knows them all really well. Gotta give it to him. HE NEEDS IT AND THATE THE TRUTH

Well said, sir!

Alan Jo Moore is going to help with the offensive line I heard. They sure need someone like him to help with that line.

Who is Scottie Johnson, Justin Triplett & Alan Jo Moore?

Here I thought I knew people and have kept up with high school football in EKY for many years, and I have no clue who any of these guys are.

Two of them are basketball coaches that should tell you enough about how serious the administration is about football.

Moore is the Boys basketball coach. From what I’ve read on here Johnson was the defensive coordinator under Hager that gave up nearly 60 points a game. I know Triplett used to be the girls basketball coach not really sure what he does now.

I’f this is serious might as well make the cheerleading coach the special teams coordinator.

If Justin Triplett does get the offensive coordinator that would be one interesting thing to see. He coach middle school football and didn’t do well with development but , them were little kids that didn’t know how to play so it will be different seeing him coach older players.

Promote a DC to head coach from one of the worst teams in the state. Really no words for it other than might as well shut it down.

pirateforlife · Yesterday, 11:32 PM

Did any of these guys that are on the staff now coach at Allen Central or South Floyd?

Jelly Roll · Yesterday, 11:42 PM

Don’t think the basketball coaches have ever coached football other than Triplett who someone posted helped with the Jr high team
this year. The board should get involved and make sure they get the proper coach. To big of school with the feeder programs shouldn’t be that bad. It would take a couple years and everyone to buy in but what they are saying it will be the same one of the worst teams
In the state year in year out.

I feel sorry for the families and kids that love football down that way.

Floyd County Schools have failed their athletes during most of my life, especially the last 20 years. Coaches are criminally underpaid, but expected to win at a high level, each school in the county lacks something for a sport that's popular with their athletes, whether that's not having a track at FCHS or BLHS, BLHS football lacking modern strength training equipment, Pburg not having a proper place to practice wrestling, etc.

Hopefully the next superintendent for FCS makes athletics in this county more of a priority going forward. It's no secret that the two best academic schools in our region also have the two best athletics departments too.

I agree and Ive seen it too.. While they love to win, the board just does not seem to hold athletics in a very high regard.. I know several school administrators personally and while they are fine folks, love the kids and like to win.......They just don't see athletics as any kind of priority, more like a side hustle... They get by as cheap as they can, and get what they can from it inside those parameters... I mean when you have the newest, nicest and biggest school in the county having to have non-football coaches help coach football then things are not being taken seriously by someone...Not a knock on those folks helping t all. I commend them giving their time..

Floyd co sports can’t be taken serious anymore. They hire who ever to coach and most of them are unqualified. They get into coaching not for the players but so their child can play every minute because they can’t earn it. When you get a coach like a jarred Jarrell at blhs who is actually there for the players the school doesn’t have the money to help build a program.
