Ignore Re: New team - region title for former Henderson coach Reply

-----Fleming County is the second team that Coach Starns has taken to the state tourament, Johnson Central was the other one in 2006. Mark Starns is a very good coach and he will win anywhere that he has a little bit of talent. He was 81-30 his first four years at Henderson but a locker room incident, couple of disguntled parents, and a 18-15 last season was used to move him out. He was in the regional all five years and was beat by the eventual regional champion all five years. With a very talented team coming back those in charge saw the opportunity to bring back the home boy and give him a good start. He had no chance of staying at Henderson.

The best of luck to him and Fleming County at state-----

This was a post from a poster on Kentucky Preps that has a good insite as to what happen at Henderson! I love what Coach Starns said in Herald Leader after they won the 16th Region, "He felt vindicated after what happened at Henderson." Good for him because he deserved better and got better end of that sistuation!

 

I think he is a very good coach. . He got a raw deal at Henderson,

Scott Hundley would be an excellent choice for Montgomery County. What about Billy Hicks over at Scott County? Would he leave Scott County for Montgomery? Salsman @ Lex Cath? Booher @ Holmes?

Why would they leave those jobs?

Why would they leave those jobs?

 

 

Don't know if they would, just throwing some names out there

Jason Hinson I would hire.

Also like to add that Coach Starns took Fleming County to NEW HEIGHTS that they hadn't experienced in awhile. They won a school record 28 wins the most in school history, won the 61st District for the first time since being moved from the 39th District, won the 16th Region for the first time since being moved from the 10th region. First region title in 14 years. I would say that Coach Starns would be a very viable candidate for Montgomery County or any other school if he has a desire or interst in, but with a very talented team intact and coming back they will be the heavy favorites to win the 16th region again and probably have a top 10 preseason ranking, he might be happy in his current position. Fleming will be very good!!!!

 

He is a good coach, and he did do a very good job this year. However, with the state of the 16th Region (down) a lot of folks could have done the exact same thing with the group that Fleming Co had.

IMO MC would be a major step down from those schools.

How about Mike Flynn?

Bryce Gomes may be the Grandson of a legendary Coach, but he is not going to be the Coach no chance.. He needs experience first.. I say they go for another College coach who is looking to down grade and make High School their gig. I dont think they would hire from within.. they havent done that in 4 years..

How about Mike Flynn?

 

Thought he was heading out of state for retirement.

People are throwing some major names around on here as if MoCo is an elite job. I think people need to be more realistic at what kind of program MoCo is when they have kids that are strictly from MoCo and not transplants.

Happy is keeping the assistants as Wesleyan. Kentucky Wesleyan College Athletics - Osborne will retain KWC assistant coaches

Don't know just speculating...what about Buddy Biggs at Ashland? I think he would do a fantastic job at Montgomery. Just IMO...

IMO I think it has to be the right coach, the right system, right players. So to say a perfect fit.

Mark Starns is a great guy and a great coach.

With that said, he will not be the next coach at Montgomery Co. He applied for the job when Tony Wise was hired and left a bad taste in the mouth of many people that matter in MC Athletics. I don't know all the details, but that's what I've been told from my sources.
