New Pikeville Coach?
HAIL PIKEVILLE! Wrote:Wow ZR! You sure seem to be real concerned with Pikeville Football all of a sudden. Ive saw you posted alot in the LCC threads and even started one of your own. Could it be that you want to come on here and trash the Pikeville job any way you can in a desperate hope that Ben might change his mind and stay at Whitesburg????? I can see your hidden agenda from a mile away!

Pikeville don't need no help in trashing the Pikeville job. They do a good job doing that themselves.

I would love to see Ben coaching at Pikeville next year. That being said I don't think that Ben will take the job unless the administration gives him what he wants. If they do I think Ben will get the job done. If not same as the past coaching situations that took place at Pikeville.

It could be argued that copley showed some favoritism to players in the classroom. as i understand it no students complained about it until this year and some incidents piled up against him and he was let go.

I dont know who decides the committee but includes largely former players who now play a big role in support for the program and are a big part of the community. they include Bob Shurtleff, Bill Staggs, Gene Davis, Dr Greg Hackney, Dr Jody Brown, Kevin Garris (who is the AD), and Mayo

Well if he did then why would he be interested in coming back? Mac played for Pikeville In the late 80s and knows exactly whats expected of a Pikeville team

I agree, I sense some hostility.

Could be that he needs a coaching job.
These are is just some of my opinions.
1. I have total respect for Coach Howard as a Christian, person and a family man. He is and always be Mr. Pikeville Football.
2. But I am sure Coach Howard just did not come in and win 3 straight Championships.
3. It takes time, dedication, hard work, sacrifice and letting a coach and his staff develope their program, in any sport.
4. But it is sad to say that I have come to understand that the community and administration, both in the city schools and county school, seems to be in that mind set of "Instant Gratification". .
I can only hope that the community and administration will give the next coach time to return Pikeville to a championship level.

I don't even know if the man would do it and I can't speak for him but Mike Jones would be the perfect man for the job at Pikeville. Estill lead the state in rushing the past couple years and what he brings to the table would be a perfect fit.

I believe the interview process is over and the job is Ben Howards if he takes it. Mac's job if Ben turns them down. Did Jones get a interview?

Johnson Central lead the state in rushing last season and the last time I checked Max Preps they were ranked #1 in the nation with 5,986 yards on the ground.

I agree, Ben is the man and they will announce something soon....hopefully they will give him time to work and build a program.

Those max preps stats are never correct because anybody can call in and give whatever stat they want, it's never checked or confirmed.

I'm not sure if they submitted their final stats to the KHSAA, but I believe they passed Mercer Co's record from a few years back.

To get back on topic I heard over the weekend that a decision could be made as early as Monday.
I think it is a done deal now, and that the new coach will be hired Monday. That is from a very reliable source. Hope it works out great for all involved.

"Who" are you hearing is going to be hired Monday?
All I can see is Pikeville should feel very lucky! I think they got what they wanted

:thumpsup: I agree with Hail Pikeville. According to my conversation yesterday with a very reliable source, sounds like Ben is the man along with Coach Mac. If this is the case, great job by the selection committee and good luck to our Panthers.

I agree. This will be a much needed shot in the arm for the program all the way around.
