Letton latest LexCath coach to move to Georgia | Fields Notes

Awesome for all of those guys. I don't know if it's on the level of Texas or not, but Georgia, Alabama, Florida (shockingly, they don't pay much at all. Less that here in KY for coaching) and South Carolina are the hot beds for HS Football across the country. From pay, to athletes, to the facilities, etc.

 

Another one they forgot about in the article is Chase Harp. Chase just took at job at North Gwinnett on Bob Sphires staff as well. He left his position as Offensive Coordinator at D2 Arkansas Tech.

 

Another one of the guys mentioned in the article is a close friend of mine, and as he was told before he moved down there....the perception towards Kentucky HS football coaches out of Georgia is basically this; "If you have won within any stretch/reason in KY, then you can coach."

Looks like a lot of good coaches leaving the state. Hate to see that happen.

Georgia is far and away the hotbed for coaches in the Southeast. We pay more than anyone around us and we produce a ton of talent every year. Every year several state championship winning coaches from other states come to Ga. There are coaches that make 120gs a year in certain areas and they only have to coach. Sure, they'll be in charge of the cafeteria during lunch but they'll get two other period for "football operations" and on planning period and never step foot in the classroom.

 

I don't know who told your buddy that about Ky but I would think that applies to every where and not just Ky. And I'll be curious to see if Carlberg and Hobbs can do anything at their schools. Both are tough to win at and both have a strong disadvantage.

It seems that the LexCath officials can certainly pick excellent coaches but retaining them is another matter.
