No he is an assistant coach at Douglass he is working in the central office at Eminence.

[PHSForever]

So he’s a paraprofessional or volunteer at FD and works for Eminence. Thank you for the clarification.

Yes he is just an assistant coach on Douglass staff.

Wait, let me get this straight. Just a coach a FD, but works in central office in Eminence (which is kinda far) in reference to Lexington, who starts their practice at 330-4. Also does he still live in Richmond and is not on EKU staff any longer?

Yes- you must missed when 16th said he was back on FD staff, and if this is true about Eminence, no way he could make practice on the up and up, but nephew is the HC.

Yeah that’s kinda far to commute after work for him to get to practice in Lexington.

It just warms my heart to see how people care so much about the Broncos and Coach Garry McPeek. We are greatly appreciate it!

My understanding is he lives in Nicholasville I thought?  I could be wrong. But no, he is not on the EKU staff any longer.

He kinda draws the attention to himself with his past history, so of course people are curious when he hooks back up with the nephew. Just sayin’.

Exactly, your post is on point. Small percentage (like 2 people) care lol. That attention is drawn to the him, coaches and program lol. And we all know the history of coaching. Oh quick question to anyone on here… does high school NIL exist here in KY?

You just seemed so worried about him working at Eminence and getting to practice at Douglass.

Yes it (NIL) does. Just check with Corbin.

I don't know if it was worry, but Henry County to Hamburg isn't exactly a quick drive and a genuine question IMO. If he can make it work, great for the Broncos but that would be a tall task. I wish Garry the best of luck wherever he is!

LOL! Believe me when I say this. We don’t care! Just seems like a great PR move to name a former college chief of staff to a high school coaching staff (supposedly). I say it’s just another recruiting tool that you all going to use. Oh btw, the NIL question was sarcastic towards your program. And like someone said on his post, Eminence is not a hop and skip to Hamburg, so one would be curious to see how he can commute and make it to 330-4 practice.

In case you are not doing anything Sunday at 1:00pm we are having our 8th grade signing day for the class of 2028. If the space is enough I will post some pics about the big day on Sunday. Go Broncos!

Here is a pic of signing day card.

Here is what else 8th grade sees from Douglass.

---

This to me is the best promotion of Frederick Douglass Football.

Finally directly from Coach MePeek to both 8th grade players and their parents/guardians.

Best player development program I've been around in 20 years of coaching. If you are willing to work, sacrifice, and live the core great things happen at Frederick Douglass Football. Proof is right there and enough said! @fdouglassfb

I have read this forum for years. I have not posted but just like to read the ridiculous statements made by people.  i have to say this Mocha guy cracks me up. Im thinking i know who it is. Ive been around Lexington athletics for a long time.....  I do think i might enjoy posting some, we will see.

No one can argue. Douglas is putting in the work. Have a coaching staff that wants to win and puts in the effort to make it happen. Of course they will get kids. Who don’t want a coaching staff that is as committed as the athletes. Its amazing how many coaches choose to coach but never commit to the effort.

Huh? What coaching staff doesn't want to win? Mostly all coaching staff put in the work and are grinders. Not trying to be negative towards Douglas, but you probably could take Sayres coaching staff and win at Douglas with some effort, it's not hard to see why they are successful, with their built-in advantages, ......and yes McPeak is a good coach, and they do a great job over there.  16th sometimes I think you give out too much information on Douglas that the Coaching staff probably would rather keep in house. Could be wrong.

Wanting to win and actually putting in the work to win are two different things. You can look around and see plenty of coaches putting in half effort. There are coaches out there that disappear after season and don’t show back up till summer.  Some have no interest in the weigh program. Some don’t stay in contact with their athletes. Some don’t check grades. Don’t assume every staff has the same level if commitment.

From Coach McPeek and Frederick Douglass Bronco Football:

Active guys we have couple in portal making decisions will be added. Proud of you guys and others who graduated!
Thanks for opportunity to coach you and to the coaches/families. The state championship was awesome feeling but most proud of this in 7 years! Frederick Douglass Football

2 schools on one campus, they have a program that can get you into the school and if you drop the program, you still can stay at the school (could be like this at other FCPS) multiple kids that live out of district, Fieldhouse, state of art weight room that no other Fayette County public school has. Multiple QB's that were brought in and left and went back to their original school to graduate after the season. Administration that was hired to have a successful football program. Got to hire coaches that was at one time banned from Coaching in Kentucky, got more but I'm going to stop because it seems like I am hating on Douglas which I'm not trying to I actually like their program, but a question was asked.

So many false narratives and lies on this thread it's unreal how social media spreads non-facts. I'm good friends with the McPeek family.

Coach Nathan McPeek was never banned from coaching in the state, matter of fact when he went to Georgia he was considering joining Boyle with Chuck Smith at the time, I'm not sure on Garry McPeek. I think Coach does a great job and I've never seen such a negative emotional deposit by people simply because they treat Douglass like a college program. Coach Nathan McPeek if you were to truly ask the football knowledgeable people in this state would be considered one of the best Head Coaches currently. Douglass has a beautiful school for sure, district made the decision to have Carter G in that building not Coach McPeek so why so much hate? I applaud him for helping these northside kids that get forgotten about and fall thru the cracks but he is using football to be an avenue to change their lives. What is FCPS motto "It's about the kids?" Congratulations on all the success and Coach Nathan McPeek for his Marshall Hall of Fame induction that is an incredible accomplishment.

The banned part wasn't about Nathan. I also stated that Nathan was a good coach, I like their program, and they do a good job, guess we just left that part out.  This is truly an honest question, which part was a false narrative or wasn't true, I will admit when I'm wrong.

.....or talent, or facilities, or administration that really cares about football to let you do things to be successful, so you should never assume these things either.

No one can argue. Douglas is putting in the work. Have a coaching staff that wants to win and puts in the effort to make it happen. Of course they will get kids. Who don’t want a coaching staff that is as committed as the athletes.  Its amazing how many coaches choose to coach but never commit to the effort.

Please elaborate on their build in advantages.

2 schools on one campus, they have a program that can get you into the school and if you drop the program, you still can stay at the school (could be like this at other FCPS) multiple kids that live out of district, Fieldhouse, state of art weight room that no other Fayette County public school has. Multiple QB's that were brought in and left and went back to their original school to graduate after the season. Administration that was hired to have a successful football program. Got to hire coaches that was at one time banned from Coaching in Kentucky, got more but I'm going to stop because it seems like I am hating on Douglas which I'm not trying to I actually like their program, but a question was asked.

Huh? What coaching staff doesn't want to win? Mostly all coaching staff put in the work and are grinders. Not trying to be negative towards Douglas, but you probably could take Sayres coaching staff and win at Douglas with some effort, it's not hard to see why they are successful, with their built-in advantages, ......and yes McPeak is a good coach, and they do a great job over there.  16th sometimes I think you give out too much information on Douglas that the Coaching staff probably would rather keep in house. Could be wrong.

Wanting to win and actually putting in the work to win are two different things. You can look around and see plenty of coaches putting in half effort.

Going to back track on the banned part, but I'm pretty sure at one time that might have been the case.

Correct Carter G is in the building - Douglass nor Carter G staff control who applies and gets in, that is handled by the district - the narrative that Douglass just funnels kids in that program is a FALSE narrative.
If you are kicked out of Carter G you can stay at Douglass - -  false narrative. you can stay ONLY IF YOU LIVE IN THE DISTRICT. 
Every school in FCPS has students approved out of district. Not a Douglass thing.
The weight room was designed and built upon opening. I would counter that every other school has a weight room and a sperate facility used for hitting and other things. Douglass is the only school in FCPS without one. I assure you the coaches would trade their Fieldhouse with about anyone in town if they were to also get a second "hitting facility". lockers are terrible and the big empty hotbox serves very little purpose. (it does look good though) .
Transfers - everyone has them come and go. There is another team in town who had a kid start in one sport for them in the fall and go back to original school and start in another sport as soon as season ended- again not a Douglass thing 
Administration was hired to have a successful football program - false narrative. Not saying athletics are not important to them but if you knew anything about FCPS athletics you would laugh at that statement. The fact that they are two former football coaches drives this narrative. 
coach hired was banned from coaching in ky. - False narrative.

Very well said at FCPS.
I will add one thing without calling out a program or coach like others on here want to do towards Douglass, but their is another school in central KY whose head football coach has actually went into 2 8th graders homes that live in the Douglass district and talked/recruited them to come to his school/program. These two parents informed the Douglass coaches on Sunday evening after their 8th grade signing day for kids that their kids based on what this coach told/promised were going to transfer to that district in another county.
Hey if that is what they want then fine. It just that several on here want to lead people to believe that no other schools in KY get kids to come to their school but Douglass. Also, Douglass has a player that moved to Douglass this year after a huge season a Taylor Co. and another coach for a Lexington program has called this players house several times to try and get him to switch to their program.
I would hate to see what people would write if the Douglass coach went into 8th graders home in another and county and tried to get them to come to their program. I guess that it is a benefit to have had the success that the Bronco Program has had and especially in the area of getting players college scholarships that players/parents want to play for Douglass.

Thanks, but wasn't talking about Carter G. you just assumed. I was talking about the aerospace program or something like that. If you applied to get into Douglas via that program from out of district and you dropped out you can still stay at FD. .....and I know some of those are not false narrative but going to leave well enough alone. Think that school you mentioned at the beginning school colors are black and gold, do not understand how they get away with the stuff they do either, but these are the times I guest.
