Dudley had plenty of talent at Bell

Greer to UK

A LB to Auburn

A transfer fom MBoro to UK

another to UK, name cant think of

He has had talent

All world kicker in Merrick to WKU

 

Darrin Clark TE to UK.

Boyle had Neal Brown, The Lafew Brothers, George Patton, Boomer Johnson, Chris Cook, Seth Tamme. Just a few that come to mind.

To summarize what I said in an earlier post. The coaches that show up day in and out regardless of talent and work at it because they love the process and the kids are what I call coaches. Not a slight against any coach that is blessed with great talent. You got to have it to win the big games against the big boys. Many great coaches have the work ethic and the talent. But there are great ones that don't have the support and or talent that do nice work in their program. My hat is off to anyone that can coach in today's climate. To much I and not enough we in sports for me.

Another reason I love to watch teams like Belfry, Bell and Johnson Central is that old school style.

Somone said McKee from Scott Co.

 

I know some coaches that would love being a only show in town and have the Toyota checkbook. They always get that transfer in there at the right time.

The one thing I have noticed on this thread is that most of the coaches mentioned also have played against tremendously tough schedules at those schools. Developing a reputation for those programs that would not otherwise get any, positive or negative. If you are a school that has been a traditional loser,but become a sustained winner then you might not get the same treatment as a program that is expected to win (EASY to Hate), because everyone is suppose to beat you. That being said what could be done at some of these schools where excuses are made year after year. Just an opinion, but overall a solid thread with many good coaches.

The Rebels had lots of talent during the Smith era.

 

Just during the title run:

 

Bobby Leffew, 4 year starter for UL

 

Travis Leffew, 4 year starter for UL

 

Matt Quinn, Campbellsville but his grades and person wouldn't let him go much higher in Division

 

Matt Miller at EKU

 

Brodie Overstreet to Wake Forest

 

Taylor Begley to UK

 

Ned Jennings to TCU

 

Jacob Tamme to UK and NFL

 

That's just the top ones off my memory.
