What’s the latest on Perry’s coaching saga? Are Dixon and Fugate going to continue to try and right the ship or is it about time to hand the keys over? I’m hearing Jayden Neace and Jake Roll are the coaches in waiting for the head and assistant jobs. No matter who it is, after last years disaster the kids at that establishment deserve different and better in my honest opinion. Let’s hear yours and see how the future plays out.

[Bluecat]

Not anywhere close to the program. Is it entirely the coaches or is there behind the scene stuff we aren't seeing causing a lot of issues. Legit question. Before I say replace the coaches I need to know a little background info. If it is on the coaches then yes but if there are others behind the scenes causing the issues then they need to be removed.

Not really what I was trying to say but yes. I am saying are the parents or higher ups the ones causing the issues. Again I don't know the situation. Now if the coaches are the heart of the problem then yes they need to go. If it is parents or even some higher ups then they are the ones who need to be looked at because even a coaching change doesn't fix the problem. That is why I was saying I needed to know more details on what direction I think Perry should take.

Did you ever think if it were to be a parent or higher up situation that it may be brought on from being poorly led by the current administration? These guys haven’t changed their style in 20 years and clearly Perry athletics is ok with that. They had one decent season with 7 wins seems like and that’s it. Is this truly acceptable and something to be ok with? Coaches arguing with parents in the stands, administration arguing with each other. Players walking off the field just because they’re tired of all the nonsense the coaches let go on. Getting absolutely embarrassed and ran off of your own field on senior night. Sounds like one hell of a place to be a part of. I personally think it’s time for a change. If it were anyone else at the helm and sub par results like they’ve had for 6 or 7 seasons they’d already been handed a pink slip. That’s plain and simple.

Don't disagree with anything you say. If this is the case then yes it needs to be changed.

Another year of first round exits as always

[jellyfam k1]

Jayden neace would be a great coach at PCC, he has great knowledge of the game that he learned at the Pike

[SpaceMountain19]

PCC coaching staff is awful from top to bottom. I’ve tried and tried to get the board to see that there’s problems that come from them but they’re like gods in this town. We’re headed for the bottom and the ship is about to be wrecked completely. SMH what’s it going to take for them to realize a change is necessary??

[Rambo4]

Perry is terrible ...
Always had been, always will be.....What is sad is they actually have some decent talent coming up but it will let all go down the drain

[Oakcrest18]

Hopefully those younger kids can see that and realize the boards not gonna change anything and get out of there

[Statebound19]

I don’t think Perry central has bad coaches. I think they have good coaches . It just they’re up against a bad culture . Perry has been basketball school since they open the doors. They’ve had really good coaches in past as well that couldn’t win at Perry ,but had success or won state titles at other schools. I think a lot of there problems are parents not kids. They have good young group coming up if they can keep it together that could turn tide. But can they satisfy the parents to keep their talent ?

[Bull got out!]

I know some that are good friends of mine and they know the coach well. All I have heard is respect and good comments about him. For what it’s worth, that goes along way with me. Character away from football can be just as important as results in the win and loss column.

They said the same thing about this group of seniors that are about to graduate too. Those kids deserve better than they’re getting.

No accountability, blaming the parents for the bad culture. I heard that during the Letcher game last year three coaches on the staff was yelling into crowd at parents. How is that on the parents? Coaching is hard and deal with a lot but you signed up for this, don’t be so sensitive accpect the criticism and fix the issue.. You want them to be satisfied and happy, win more games and play the right players. . Winning games usually fixes most problems. Perry shouldn’t ever lose to Williamsburg. They have been terrible in district games the last 5 years. If they don’t win next year and play the players that give them the best chance to win then I know there will be a shake up with some players leaving. I’ve been told 2 of them in that great freshmen class might be coming to breathit if things don’t get better.

Coaches get criticized all the time. A lot of coaches criticize other coaches. That’s part of the game. If you can’t handle it then you’re in the wrong profession. I personally witnessed the absolute disaster/debacle whatever your want to call it with the letcher central game. When some of your absolute best players quit on you in the middle of the game and tell their parents how happy they are to be away from your sorry ass football program then you’ve got a major problem. Blame whoever you all want but 4 wins against a not so great schedule isn’t going to cut it anywhere other than PCC. All that starts with the coaching staff. Bottom line is, you play who you’re told at Perry in order to keep your job. It’s not about winning there. It’s about pleasing the mafia. Anchors away though. Good luck with that mess ever getting any better.

Or maybe those players had finally decided enough is enough. This bunch is ridiculous and could care less about us so why kill myself for them when they give us no shot at winning? All apples eventually rot. Just like Perry’s coaching staff is. They’re outdated and never change and are basically rotted away and wasting kids time and talents. Sometimes that apple tree gets cut down and removed and I for one think it’s about time for that to happen and remove them from their duties.

Definitely does. You’ve got to know the situation personally before you can make your judgement plantman. Do you have any clue about what’s truly going on there? Any actual personal experiences? If not then get yourself educated or maybe you do know and may be on the coaching staff and in denial or delusional.

[Whoknowsme]

I am not defending the coaches, but It is never ok to quit in the middle of the game. If you were that close to quitting, then you probably haven't been giving maximum effort for a while. There are more people relying on you than coaches and quitting in the middle of the game is just selfish. No excuse for it. IMO

I normally don’t post on this junk, but I heard a close friend of mines daughter saying this thread was circulating. So I got on here and read up on it to see what in the world is going on. A lot of people get on here and and say things because they know people don’t know who they are. I have worked alongside this coaching staff for several years and consider them very close personal friends. I also worked a few years with the previous coaching staff at Perry and consider them friends. The problem of winning isn’t the coaching or coaches, these guys are great coaches. Mark Dixon is one of the best men and coaches that I have ever met, he works extremely hard for the kids and cares for them and waves that the other coaches should follow. The problem at Perry Central is not the coaches. It’s not the talent. It’s not the administration. It’s not the parents. It’s not the officials. it is also not the facilities. I’m not trying to be some philosophical genius, but I’ve also never been afraid to say what’s on my mind. The short and simple truth of the matter is when all of the above mentioned groups decide to come together and become a true football family. Great things will happen at Perry Central. Throwing the blame game around just makes things worse. So just change the name of this thread to let’s come together as a community and win. Just one old man’s opinion. One final note as I said before Perry Central truly has great leadership at the helm of their football program. Don’t be foolish and allow a great coach like Mark Dixon to slide through your fingers. He goes out of his way to play as many players as possible, and the plain and simple truth About football is some kids are meant to play 48 minutes. Some meant to play 24 minutes. Meant to play five minutes and some are meant to cheer from the sideline and everyone is just as important as the other.

These coaches are doing a plenty good enough job of tearing things down on their own. Enjoy first round town everyone. It’s absolutely the best you will ever do.

All these good guys on the coaching staff and yet here we are. Arguing with fans in the stands, lying to parents about present and future plans, administration fighting amongst themselves, coaches involved with law suits for taking peoples money and not doing the job they promised they’d do. Sounds like a good crew if you ask me.

What gives parents the right to yell things down to the field?  Culture starts at home, disciple starts at home, character starts at home.


The problems at Perry start at home.

Coaches get criticized all the time. A lot of coaches criticize other coaches. That’s part of the game. If you can’t handle it then you’re in the wrong profession. I personally witnessed the absolute disaster/debacle whatever your want to call it with the letcher central game. When some of your absolute best players quit on you in the middle of the game and tell their parents how happy they are to be away from your sorry ass football program then you’ve got a major problem. Blame whoever you all want but 4 wins against a not so great schedule isn’t going to cut it anywhere other than PCC. All that starts with the coaching staff. Bottom line is, you play who you’re told at Perry in order to keep your job. It’s not about winning there. It’s about pleasing the mafia. Anchors away though. Good luck with that mess ever getting any better.

If the players have the character that it is ok to quit on your team in the middle of a game, no matter what is going on, no matter what is being said, no matter how bad their feelings are hurt.......that starts at home, period. 


The apple falls from the tree that grew it.

Or maybe those players had finally decided enough is enough. This bunch is ridiculous and could care less about us so why kill myself for them when they give us no shot at winning? All apples eventually rot. Just like Perry’s coaching staff is. They’re outdated and never change and are basically rotted away and wasting kids time and talents. Sometimes that apple tree gets cut down and removed and I for one think it’s about time for that to happen and remove them from their duties.

Have you requested a meeting with the coach and the administration or do you just yell from the stands?

Everyone has voiced their opinions at this point but it truly doesn’t matter. When you’re a member of the Perry county mafia you can do no wrong and doesn’t matter who you screw over along the way if you’re not one of the chosen ones. Bottom line is those kids deserve better but will never get it because no one truly gives a damn about them. All is truly worried about is these coaches making their big time salaries working jobs that were made up for them entirely. It’s actually a little bit comical if you really set and think about it. Money on top of money and promise on top of promise is made every year for the dores to hopefully make the playoffs and get a first round exit. They’ve got the kids and talent to compete so don’t take me wrong but they don’t have the leadership. Just facts.

I normally don’t post on this junk, but I heard a close friend of mines daughter saying this thread was circulating. So I got on here and read up on it to see what in the world is going on. A lot of people get on here and and say things because they know people don’t know who they are. I have worked alongside this coaching staff for several years and consider them very close personal friends. I also worked a few years with the previous coaching staff at Perry and consider them friends. The problem of winning isn’t the coaching or coaches, these guys are great coaches. Mark Dixon is one of the best men and coaches that I have ever met, he works extremely hard for the kids and cares for them and waves that the other coaches should follow. The problem at Perry Central is not the coaches. It’s not the talent. It’s not the administration. It’s not the parents. It’s not the officials. it is also not the facilities. I’m not trying to be some philosophical genius, but I’ve also never been afraid to say what’s on my mind. The short and simple truth of the matter is when all of the above mentioned groups decide to come together and become a true football family. Great things will happen at Perry Central. Throwing the blame game around just makes things worse. So just change the name of this thread to let’s come together as a community and win. Just one old man’s opinion. One final note as I said before Perry Central truly has great leadership at the helm of their football program. Don’t be foolish and allow a great coach like Mark Dixon to slide through your fingers. He goes out of his way to play as many players as possible, and the plain and simple truth About football is some kids are meant to play 48 minutes. Some meant to play 24 minutes. Meant to play five minutes and some are meant to cheer from the sideline and everyone is just as important as the other.

Thanks, coach.
Also remember that a lot of the people talking in these threads have motives outside of what's best for the program because they succeed if they tear it down.

These coaches are doing a plenty good enough job of tearing things down on their own. Enjoy first round town everyone. It’s absolutely the best you will ever do.

All these good guys on the coaching staff and yet here we are. Arguing with fans in the stands, lying to parents about present and future plans, administration fighting amongst themselves, coaches involved with law suits for taking peoples money and not doing the job they promised they’d do. Sounds like a good crew if you ask me.

 "Everyone has voiced their opinions at this point but it truly doesn’t matter." Pretty sure there was only one fact in there. The rest is opinion.

[Wanna-be]

Here’s a fact. There’s people on here defending everything that goes on there but back in the season were publicly bashing the coaches and even the school system for letting things like this go on. Which side of the fence is everyone truly on?
