Mark Starns let go after 5 years on the job. Who will get this job?

Wow, didn't see that one coming. Wonder if he will apply for the Montgomery Co or Bourbon Co jobs?

I had been wondering if Starns was safe, but figured that if Henderson was planning to make a change, it would've been done before now.

As much as he liked the area, I could see it happening. Pendleton County wouldn't be out of the question either.

Agree or Dunbar either.

Why did they let him go?

Seems like a job where the right person could be incredibly successful.

Who will be the likely top candidates for this job?

I have said this on other threads in the past but I can't help but think that if a good job came open in Western Kentucky that North Oldham coach and former Holmes coach David Henley wouldn't be interested. He is from Carlisle County, and has won a state title. Maybe Henderson Co will give him a phone call and see if there is any interest.

They are taking aplications through Friday. Really quick deadline, makes me feel like they have already offered it to someone that has accepted it. Not wasting anytime hiring I dont think.

Henley interviewed at Henderson County back in the 90s, before he got the Holmes job. Henderson picked Phil Gibson over him, as I recall. He was also a finalist at Marshall County a few years ago, when they hired Gus Gillespie.

 

If Henley has any interest in coming back to the west, it might be for the McCracken County job, which comes open in the spring of 2013. I suspect he will be high on McCracken's list if he chooses to pursue it.

I think Coach Starns was in a no win situation. Some players violated team and school rules and he dismissed them from the team. Then parents got involved and you know where that went.

This year's 18-15 record was easily his worst at the school. I glanced at his record at HC, and he won plenty of games. He was probably every bit of 50 games above .500 at the school when they fired him. Tough gig.

 

He didn't win any regions there, but didn't exactly lose to bad teams. Heights when they had Hopson and company, Christian County (with an LSU player) three times, and this year's Hoptown team that won 32 games were regional champs during his time at HC.

 

Henderson certainly passes the smell test for being a good job. Maybe you HAVE to win regions there tough.

I believe Henley left Holmes partly because his wife taught/teaches at North Oldham.

She did not go there until he got the job. She was teaching in NKY.
