Come on everyone..... All of this has been carefully orchestrated and when the dust settles everyone will understand. Greers decision has been made for months and didn't just decide to retire yesterday. The "committee" needed several factors to fall into place and timing was crucial. There is a couple of moving pieces that they hope will fall into place in the next couple of weeks. But for now they are trying to pacify the parents of some of their top returners and keep them aboard. But until then the rumor mill is runneth over..

Why would Coach McNamee want to take a step back by going to Corbin?
No, no, no, no and no. You are wrong on all accounts. I guarantee Corbin doesn't have more money backing the program than Pikeville. Corbin doesn't have more consistency, and they don't have better tradition. You are apparently have no knowledge at all about Pikeville or their football program. Pikeville has won 7 state championships since Corbin last won one.

You right on the numbers issue. That’s tuff on a team. I agree.

Im definitely not a Greer fan either. I think Corbin has a real opportunity to move forward and learn from the past.

Corbin could always go after Chappell. He’s been at Whitley middle for like 6 months now which is usually the duration of his stay at places. He’s already familiar with the program.
05-07-2024, 04:24 PM
Never forget when Greer couldn't get an offense rolling against Johnson Central in 2021 and Seth Mills never saw a snap on offense, great coaching. Good times.

Haddix and Mac aren’t going anywhere.
McPeek is the guy to go in after. By far best available and considering what he’s been able to accomplish for an extended period in Lexington I would imagine he could put The Redhounds over the top. Everyone see the athletes at FD, but getting those athletes to consistently show up and work their tails off is no easy task. Put him in a “football town”… could be dangerous for The Rebels.
With that being said… they are going to have to come with a bag to compete with the fayette county teaching pay which I’m sure wouldn’t be an issue for Corbin boosters.
This will be fun to see how it unfolds in the next few weeks. Can’t imagine they will take too long to announce their hire.

I think Frederick Douglass is in good hands with Coach Mcpeak. I honestly think he has raised the bar up there and I don't see him leaving myself. I look for FD to just keep getting better and better.

Foley.
That would be absolutely hilarious for Hines to run to South Laurel this offseason just to have Foley nipping at his heels.

The same hiring committee that came back with a recommendation to hire Eddie James as Redhounds Head Coach but were told to go back into the "war room " and think about it some more, until Tommy Greer was the guy.

I think Corbin sends shock waves across the state of KY with this hire. I take psychotic meds but my sources are damn good.
Two more dominoes need to fall... I'm told they are likely to fall.

I just don’t see Greer waiting until after spring practice and this late in the game to retire if there wasn’t a “plan” in place.
I also don’t think it’s the last time Greer will be seen on a sideline. Just won’t be Corbin’s.

No way Tom gives up on his own. Retires now. I think the heat was to hot in the kitchen. He couldn’t take it any longer. He will definitely be on a sideline somewhere. Somehow he will snake his way.

5 years ago I called Haddix leaving a mistake, very bad mistake. I’m not sure he would come back. I just can’t see it. I will have to see it to believe the good ol boy system is gone. No outsiders will be trusted or handed reigns. I think it still lives 100%. Sayin that, the only one that seems right is either Jody and Guy.

Wasn't the Corbin-Pikeville game in 2022 a 5 point game? At Corbin? I don't know that Corbin would regularly "crush" Pikeville.

The last hiring committee didn’t recommend TG and when they left their last meeting they thought an offer was being made to EJ only to find out that all their work didn’t matter as DC, SH, and BF made the decision to hire TG on their own!
