This should be a worrisome hire for the rest of the 14th region. Estill County is a baseball school more than any other sport the school plays. Matching the Engineers with one of the best baseball minds in the state is like matching Rodgers with Hammerstein. He is right out of the same mold as Letcher Central's Bryan Dean---he lives and breaths baseball everyday. This is a great hire for Estill.

I had heard that if he wanted to that Coach Combs could change the teams that Coach Sparks has already agreed to play next season.

And you saying you could start as a 6th grader on his teams only further proves how good of a coach he is. If he achieved the record he has with a talent pool so scarce that a 6th grader would start, regardless of how good that 6th grader is, he really is a heck of coach... Think about it.

 

You got me. For real you got me. Touche.

 

So actually, I guess it would have been the 3rd grade.

C'mon man, you're really getting out of your depth here. I guess your mind would be completely blown if you knew about some the offers he turned down after MoCo. Also, literally none of the coaches on that list are mediocre, LOL.

 

If all these schools wanted him, why did he end up at wolf?

 

80% of that HOF is mediocre. I was just on their web site and I was laughing at some of the guys they put in there. For real if you think that's an elite group of baseball knowledge then I can't help you. That HOF is nothing but a good ol boys network. Your boy Phil is in their as a umpire!!

Reason he ended up at Wolfe is because that was the only school that was looking for a baseball coach that was close to his home without them having to move and transfer schools. I can understand that part

 

If Coach Combs is medicore (303-222, 18+ years) then where are you listed in the KHSBA Hall of Fame? Just Curious.

You can name any team that that dude has coached and I guarantee I could have started as a 6th grader.

 

And I could have started on your little club team when I was in the 5th.

 

If you are so great at baseball and are so smart, why don't you tell us a bit about your baseball career...

---he lives and breaths baseball everyday. This is a great hire for Estill.

 

He doesn't live and breath baseball every day. Baseball is a big part of his life for three hours a day, four months out of the year.

 

Here is a quick list of real baseball guys that live and breath it everyday:

Buford Sanders- Have you seen his squad run the hidden ball trick after a sac bunt? Genius!

Matt Tyner- He has made a lot of noise in two short years. With mostly Freshman and Sophomores.

Brian Green- I would pay money just to listen to him talk about how to lead off second.

 

These are real BG's. Combs doesn't even know how to put down a batters box (and that's a fact).

Gladly. I grew up down south and played in a program that you read about in USA Today every year. Then my family moved to KY and I played in the State Tourney my junior and senior year at a school you are probably jealous of. Then I played D1 in a mid-level conference. Was never drafted but I was offered a roster spot with the Freedom which I turned down. How bout you Clubby?

I wouldn't expect you to know me. But I guarantee your boy Todd Asalon knows who I am. Same with Dizzy, Shartzer, and that new guy Billy.

So you are being very vague about where you played or how good you were? Okay then. And when were you offered a spot with the Freedom?

My boy Todd Asalon? Yes I know Todd but I wouldn't classify him as my boy. More of an acquaintance, just like 100s of other people in my life.

Of all the nonsensical, baseless statements you've made, this one really, and I mean really, bothers me. I was gonna say we can agree to disagree, buy this statement enrages me. You have no idea what you're talking about. I'll tell you what though, you're an expert name-dropper. I got some advice for you, why don't you go ask Saunders, or any of your other "BGs", what they think about Combs. Their responses may shock you. There's probably no more 10 days out of the 365 that makes up a year, that Combs is not on the baseball diamond (and that's a fact). Also, Combs does know how to line a batter's box, I've seen it many times. Have you not seen any of his team's fields while he was coach? Also, I'm not talking about the umpires on that list, I'm talking about the coaches. Give me the name of one mediocre coach on that list. You can't. I also heard what ASB heard, Combs took the Wolfe job as a last resort 'cause he didn't want to uproot his family again and did not want to take a year off from coaching. When it comes down to it, you're the one with mediocre knowledge about baseball. Well, except for a few NAIA trick plays and the "vault" from second base. You're insulting a person you have no clue about. You talk to him for 5 minutes about baseball and I guarantee you, your mind will be changed

He's probably been to Estill's field almost every day since he's been hired. He's on the field more than any coach I've ever seen or played for, and that includes my college coaches.

He was at Estill's banquet Sunday. Talked with Coach Sparks, and two assistants.

You obviously know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Coach Combs! I am sure you have never played an organized school sport in your life.

C'mon man, you're really getting out of your depth here. I guess your mind would be completely blown if you knew about some the offers he turned down after MoCo. Also, literally none of the coaches on that list are mediocre, LOL.

 

I know of at least one coach in there with about 75 more losses than wins. So some guys are also in there for the longevity of their coaching career.
