Matthew Perry is well connected in that part of the state. He might be bringing in some kids with him. Wouldn't be that crazy of a hire.

Zero chance of him being hired at any program in the 14th except maybe a 2% at Jackson City. He’s from Morgan and has no connections in the 14th, whole different world. Just my opinion of course. I’m thinking Huff gets hired, and probably not going to go over well with some parents maybe.

Can someone explain to me Huffs appeal like Im 5? What have I missed? Is it because he dresses kinda nice?

Not sure but I kinda think that the programs that are looking to hire a coach right now are pretty well established, normally competitive programs. So I think their first look is to hire an established coach. Kind of limits the pool, especially when most of the employed coaches seem happy where they are. That leaves those out of work ( usually for a reason) or those from the “outside”.

If Huff gets hired it’s ONLY because he’s promising to bring with him 3 players from Knott.

There will be a lot of speculations on the hire and who is the best fit or not. However, only time will tell. We truly won't know how good or bad the hire is until the games are played.

Huff shut down Floyd Central. Is he the guy at Hazard?

[Bluecat]

Don't be surprised if an announcement is made soon on this

[Chubby Smith]

To me , it’s simple math. It doesn’t sound like coaches are lining up at Hazard’s door. Huff is probably as good - if not better than the other applicants , and he’s promising to bring players with him. The Hazard administration & Hazard parents are backing Huff because they believe recruiting is the only way they can compete next season.

You’re probably right about your last sentence. Hazard High’s enrollment for the 2024-25 school year is 301. Those size schools usually have problems sustaining competitive programs year in and year out without transfers. It’s not always that way every year but it is the majority of the time. Paintsville also falls into that category. My guess is the independent schools have good developmental programs but also pick up a few players from the county systems in order to stay competitive. 
If I recall correctly the great Harlan Independent teams of the mid 1990s had players that were from all over Harlan County. Their best player was from Cumberland.

I think all of this is accurate but…losing Happy a couple years ago hurt development and middle school feeder program, people liked him, and now with Al gone, it could get interesting.

Huff was hired as coach. They won’t officially hire him until he tries to get a couple of the knott county players to transfer to hazard. You have to really want to coach to take a $18,000 a year pay cut. If hazard has to play with its own players it’s going to be a hard few years. They don’t have big Al and all of his contacts in the county now

18k is laughable, but Huff definitely wants to coach. And players seem to like him. It’s a long time until season starts. Who knows which players will be where.

so why are these players so against playing for Honeycutt? He’s proven to win a regional championship and huff has not. So why would they follow him? Just curious!

It’s actually almost $19,000. He’s going from being an assistant principle to back in the classroom and coaching. You do the math. If players from Knott transfer after he is officially hired then no player from Knott will be eligible to play at hazard per KHSAA rules and other schools will put in against them.

[DukeBoy]

Huff would have won region with Sperry. Sperry was the Golden Ticket and Honeycutt had him. Them kids from Knott want to play on a good football team. That’s probably main reason they will follow Huff.

It is going to be almost impossible for them to get eligible. Under the KHSAA transfer bylaws you cannot follow a coach

Huff isn’t a bad coach. He’s been at Knott 2 seasons. Last year if Jayden Huff don’t get ejected , they beat Perry and may win region. This year they had Hazard beat in the tournament and pissed it away. Huff had a shot both season.

You keep repeating this like the more you say it the more it will be true. You are wrong. Maybe the law still technically exists. But it also has to be enforced. Hazard has a way of making transfers work. As they will IF anyone transfers from Knott. Wait and see. 

as far as pay. Well salaries aren’t set in stone and are negotiable. Neither your nor my business. That’s hazard and huffs. But, school systems often have ways to supplement salaries.  And who says he will be in the classroom? Hell Some school systems create positions like text book coordinator just to have a different avenue to provide income. Not saying it’s the case here but happens all over the state. Sorry you don’t like Huff because he didn’t promise your son a starting position.

So Huff has been hired, but if he can't get some transfers, I guess he will be fired.

Hearing Lot of things going around Hazard right now.
1. Hazard has already hired Huff
2. JPA is willing to pay 150,000 to get RPA the job
3. Admin trying to hold off both of these guys long enough to get Hurt from EKU interested in the HHS job
