Coach J.P. Chapman is one of the BEST when it comes to defense. Defensive coordinator for the 95',96', and 02' state championship teams at Breathitt. The 96' Breathitt team shut down one of the state's leading rushers in Derek Homer in the state championship game.

I'm not connected enough in Powell to get info in the Times. However, the reason Brewer hasn't been mentioned is that he is not interested. He was contacted and he isn't interested. My prediction for Powell's new chief is Mike Jones. The Double Wing is coming to Stanton. All you guys itching for another spread man will be broken-hearted.

Alot of good things being said about Stultz from Clark co. as well. He's used to playing Henry Clay and Madison Central every year.

Brewer is a good coach. I think he needs to be interested cause I.M.O. alot of things might not happen. GET YOUR NAME IN THE HAT, expect the unexpected.

So will Powell Co will use the Double Wing next year?

For my senior year. Chapman was at M.C. Napier that year I believe.
I know he coached a couple years when I was there.

Truth be told, the reason Brewer isn't interested is cause he has no shot at being the head coach. Too many other qualified coaches applied. Brewer may be a good coach but they can't focus on him with so many others interested.

From what I hear Preston is not a possible candidate any longer.

With an exception of a couple mabey, Brandon is just as qualified. Those couple might not happen and that would open up the door. I know one of those couple is no longer a possibility. The obvious very seldomly happens and it never seems to turn out how you would figure. I still say Brewer needs to leave his name in the hat. Never know, alot of things might not happen.

I know Coach Brewer and think he is a good guy, but I don't think he is as qualified as the other names I have heard. Coach Preston has head coaching experience and has been in the championship game. Coach Chapman has head coaching experience and many years as a defensive coordinator. He has been a part of multiple state championship teams. Coach Stultz from Clark County has many years experience as a defensive coordinator at a large school. I think the fact that Coach Brewer only has experience as a position coach hurts him. You have to be a coordinator of some sort to get the experience needed to run a program. As a position coach, you really never have to organize a practice plan or a gameplan. You may help with it, but you are not in charge of creating it. I think if he is serious about becoming a head coach, he needs to look into some of the coordinator positions that are open. It is obvious he is not going to move up at Montgomery, because Coach Gooch went outside the school and brought back Coach Crain the last time he hired a coordinator.

I think people put too much stock in being a coordinator versus a position coach. Just like I think that administrators put too much stock into prior head coaching experience. Personally, I would rather have a candidate who had a great amount of success as a position coach over someone with little success as a coordinator. The same thing goes for hiring a head coach. Give me a guy who has been an assistant for a great program over a guy who has a poor record as a head coach at lesser programs.
In Powell's case, I think it is going to be very diffidult to land a great head coach. The program has improved, but not to the point where they can hand pick who they want. A far as Brewer is concerned. He is qualified for the job. He simply isn't interested in pursuing the position. If he was, he would be the top choice unless a proven successful head coach applies.

I think they need to look at coaches that are with sucessful programs. You need a coach who has won and who knows how to win! Head Coach or not! Everyone has to start somewhere so if you find a good position coach at a good program and give him support, things will work out.

So, if you are a running back coach at Trinity and that is all you have ever done, that makes you more qualified than an offensive coordinator at a school like Mason County? Trinity has won several state championships and Mason, is good, but they have not. Is that what you are saying? I totally disagree! What role have they had in the success of the school? Being a position coach they may have just rode the coattails of the head coach and coordinators. You know as well as I do, every staff has guys that don't work as hard as others. So, just because they were at practice everyday at a successful school, does not guarantee that they know how to win.
Agree or not, coaches will tell you there is a HUGE difference in being a position coach and a coordinator.

Yes, I would take a position coach with multiple state championships over a coordinator at a middle of the road program. If and only if, after interviewing and doing research, I felt he was the man for the job.
Too many of you all fall in love with a few lines typed on a resume and never take a long hard look at the overall candidate.
I hope you never become the AD at the school I root for.

Big Chief is taking my view the right way. If you feel they are the best after the interview then don't hold it against them that they have no head coaching experience. I agree that some coaches don't work as much as others, but if you do your research and they are highly recommended and you feel they fit, then give them the job.

is coach jones not in the mix anymore?

You all are forgetting that 90% of football head coaching jobs are political! The ole "who you know factor."

Everybody takes things personally on here! I agree with the fact that I would not base my hiring simply on experience. I have always given people an opportunity and I agree in hiring the best man for the job. I am simply saying, in most cases, I think the coordinator would have more experience dealing with what the head coaching position would entail.
As far as your last comment, I think that shows your maturity level and even makes me think you may be a little closer to the situation than you let on. The bottom line is, I have coached for several years and I have been an AD and served on many hiring committees (SBDM and before it existed). Does that make me an expert on hiring? No. I simply gave my opinion and I thought I did it in a politically correct way. I wish Powell County and Coach Brewer the best in the future.
