  1. FWIW, Q had an offer from EKU (as a freshman) before leaving Garrard. They also sent another kid to EKU on scholarship this year. Your entire second paragraph is just false.
  2. Academics shouldn't be different. If a family want their kid to transfer for academic purposes, they should - and already can, to some degree. Sports, however, are different. Are sports a right or a privilege? If they are a right, then there should be no strings attached (grades, drug testing, etc.). If they are a privilege (as they are treated under current rules), then I see no problem with having to sit a year if you transfer. If the reasons for the move are not athletic in nature, then what is the problem with waiting?
  3. This is a really good point... The places that have all 6 are elite in the state of Kentucky. But, I will say this - many programs on the "list" didn't have those things before - they gained them over time. I agree with your premise thought, you can overcome not having a couple of things on the list, but you better be building them, if you want to be a top-notch program.
  4. A lot of similarities to the Garrard hire, and process, as well.
  5. The HC stipend is only $6,000, but I am pretty sure there are extended days on top of that.
  6. No... I was just asking. Last week everyone was talking like he is the guy. Now, there doesn't seem to be any certainty.
  7. Unfortunately, this seems to be indicative of the way more & more administrations handle the hiring process. An administrator has the right (and duty) to hire the coach they want, and with whom they are comfortable. However, it seems that if a coach on the current staff applies for a job, they should get the courtesy of an interview (especially if they are coordinator level). At the very least, a conversation would seem appropriate. As fewer administrators are former coaches, maybe they underestimate the value of the interview process for coaches in their career development. They get to see how the process goes, what questions are asked, what qualities are valued by admin, etc. Also, even if you already know who you want, it is possible someone else is really impressive... and if another principal you know is looking for a coach, it might lead to a conversations about the guy you interviewed, opening another opportunity for him. I will say this, if Josh Jaggers is the guy, he is a solid hire. He is a good coach, and will do well at Lincoln, IMO.
  8. I think there is a pretty wide gulf between the jobs that people connect to Josh and those he actually applies for. Not saying that is the case here, but he doesn't apply or go after a lot of the jobs people connect him to.
  9. Not according to the document from the last alignment. They were close, but Boyle had a higher male enrollment. The latest numbers that I can find show that Boyle's enrollment has grown since, and PT's has declined (to be fair, those are overall numbers, not male enrollment). Of course none of this is certain. I could wind up being wrong, but just putting forward my best guess. As far as relative strength of the classes - you are right that Boyle & Johnson Central were probably a lot better than anyone in 3A this year. I don't think that really addresses the issue of which is the toughest path. Reasonable people can disagree. I have already hijacked the thread enough, but my whole point to begin with was that the idea that one job is better/worse based upon another school's alignment is flawed logic.
  10. A team cannot "drop down" by choice, unless they are the smallest team in a class & someone else chooses to "move up." Boyle's enrollment numbers have increased since the last alignment, so they will probably be in 4A, proper, in the new alignment (as they were already one of the largest 3A schools). Lexington Catholic is not far behind them. I would still argue that 4A is an easier path to the title, so they could choose to continue to play up, even if they are 3A. Now, it is entirely possible that they split - the rivalry seems to have lost some heat. All this could wind up being wrong, because the enrollment numbers will be skewed because of COVID. Beyond that we don't "know" what the realignment will look like. In the area, we can know that Garrard, Mercer, & Casey will remain 3A, Danville will still be 2A, and Lincoln will still be 4A. The question marks for this area are Rockcastle & Boyle.
  11. I know that Coach Rowland has moved into administration. I would assume Coach Harris will apply. Seems like Clevenger's & Jaggers' names have come up for every coaching vacancy in the area.
