Just throwing it out there. Possible him going to Breathitt County?

[TribeTime]

No he is just retiring.

This one will be highly sought after. Expect Head Coaches from around the state to apply. Looking at the staff, you have his son Tyler and Derrick Robinson if they go that route.

He’s a respected guy and Breathitt sports love his sister. She has supported and fed the sports teams at BHS for years. But haven’t heard him mentioned as a canidate.

No one on the staff will take this.  They all resigned.   This hire could be really interesting.     

my guess on Thacker is he will pop up somewhere as head coach no one expects and will maybe end up at a better job than Rowan.  Will he be able to commute there from Morehead is the question.

Let me be CLEAR I AM NOT SAYING COACH THACKER did anything but Zaheri (jail) staff with Principal Jordan Mann and Rowan County HS is a mess!!!!

Bath County is open, if he wanted to stay local.....

Yeah, doesn't appear that Thacker is involved with any of that mess but definitely contributed to his retirement I would say. He's getting while the getting is good.

Would Scott Tackett be a candidate for this position? Had tremendous success at Rowan County previously on the girls side working alongside Thacker as he was boys coach. Tackett currently at Lewis County coaching the boys there for the Lions.

No…….

I extend my best wishes to Coach Thacker 17 years at Rowan. I have observed him for a long time and have greatly admired his passion and meticulous preparation for his teams over the years. He has been a significant figure in the 16th Region, achieving notable success as a coach.

Given the circumstances involving the coach and principal, I believe it was the right time for to step aside. As the head coach, he bears ultimate responsibility for the basketball program, I commend him for making the decision to step down. I firmly believe it was the appropriate course of action, I sincerely hope he was unaware of events that transpired. I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors!

Due to the ongoing challenges at this school, it may be difficult to attract a highly qualified coaching candidate under the current circumstances.

In other forums someone thought Coach Perry?

[15thregionwatcher]

Seen Coach Thacker was helping GRC in summer basketball. Any updates on when this will be filled. Also are they participating in any form summer basketball.

[TribeTime]

They have a principal opening so I doubt this is filled until the principal job is filled. They’ll get some good candidates but not as good as they would have under normal circumstances.

This school is a Liberal mess!

Couldn’t Perry do both?

I can say with 100 percent certainty that Coach Perry has not applied for this position.

If Coach Perry is pulling it off at Floyd Central, I’d wager he could serve it up just as well at Rowan too.

Any updates on if they've hired or anyone who's shown interest.

[TribeTime]

They told candidates no hire until they hire a principal. So no hire before July.

[TribeTime]

Anything new on this?

[Ky1976]

???????

[TribeTime]

Last I heard they still haven’t hired a principal yet so I doubt they will touch this until they do that.

[averagejoe01]

Heard Jason James name as a possibility.

[15thregionwatcher]

For principal or basketball coach,   He could do either.

Rowan hired a principal yesterday so we may get some movement soon.
