That isn't true in SL case.. Last two hires have been out of towners...both epic fails!!

walterwhite Wrote:Great ideas but if you think all these things are going to happen at South all I can say is good luck with that. The money crunch most school districts are going through will certainly have a bearing on any spending. As far as boosters "coming up with cash for the coach and staff", I know it happens but technically is illegal by Redbook guidelines. In southeastern Kentucky school district jobs are like hens teeth in many cases. It's very difficult to bring in people and give them jobs when there's a stack of applicants that are from the area. I would love to see all the things you suggest take place, but I just don't see it. Untill something changes, schools have to truely do their homework and try to get the best coaches possible with what they have to work with. Not an easy task.
There is clause that allows funding to assts but it can't come from school activity funds. Has to come from boosters. But who has boosters who can kick a few grand to assts? We don't in wayne !

There have been many great posts on this thread. Really good talking points. I wish many schools administrators could check this particular thread out. They might learn something.

Its done everyday{big money to coaches} they are money in London and if they want a Quality Coach they have too come with the Money. And all should look at it as money well spent.

[quote=Fly Like a Duck]I'm not exactly positive on the parental involvement, influence and overall general feel is at South, but my advice to them would be to follow the path of that school 3 miles up the road from them.
Talking about staying the course and allowing Chris Larkey to do what he does (by the way, a chapter in Coach Haywood's book is called that 'Do What We Do'). In his first three years, they only won 9-10 games. Their first playoff win didn't come until this past year (year 6 at the helm). It's a process, obviously...and, everybody there has bought in. It's old school football, but it's doing the dang job.
Which, I'm not so sure that wouldn't be a good change up for South. Go with somebody who has an old school, yet go for broke (somebody that is going to toss it around 10-12 times on average per game, but when they do, strike up the band) offensive mind set (Wing T, Wishbone, Flexion, SBV, etc).
SL has been spread, since Mumme ball first came about in our state back in the late 90's (with the exception of SL's 2013 team). The only time they have had success with it is with one guy who went onto star at Georgetown College (Warren) and a guy who broke freaking Tim Couch's records (Bowling). Those guys don't come around very often.
It's not about how many times you throw it, but how effective you are when you do it.
I've heard good things about the freshman at SL, Fultz.[/QUOTE

Warren was great qb and best ever at SL. Is their any talk about Sizemore being given a shot

The word is that must have PE/ Health degree:
I know a man that has that degree and has been a head coach and a very successful coach. He is interested in the job!
He took a program just like South and made it a winner. Won over 60% of his games. Kids love him!
GREG DUNCUM

If he was given the job at SL the numbers would go from 30ish to 60ish quickly!! One of the nicest guys I have ever met. He is the most positive coach I have ever known as well.

Duncum's name is always brought up. is he interested in a head coaching position?
02-21-2015, 04:45 PM
What about Roark proven coach Bell and Corbin and has ties too SL in my opinion he would be a great choice.
02-21-2015, 09:23 PM
To the best of my knowledger Roark hasn't anything but coach Freshmen/JV ball for the most part from what I know, his time as a coordinator at NL wasn't anything to brag about. With that being said he would probably be there for the long term and if nothing else that would be an improvement. Greg Duncum would be the best hire at SL if he is interested.

McWhorter was the OC during those years you are referring..
Roark was the offensive line coach at NL.

Unless they've picked up other certification, Roark teaches math and Sizemore history. FWIW

You couldn't go wrong with Roark or Duncum..
I would give Greg the edge due to head coaching experience.
02-21-2015, 09:47 PM
Greg Duncum would be an excellent choice. :rockon:
02-21-2015, 10:17 PM
Several good candidates have been mentioned, so based on past experience it won't be any of them.
02-21-2015, 11:45 PM
Could someone post South schedule for next year...
