I highly doubt it's going to be a retired coach, well-known or not.

 

My guess is next coach will definitely have LaRue ties, whether as former Hawk player/student or former LC assistant.

 

Like who? Sandidge?

Steve Duncan was a former coach at Larue that coached both (Sanders/Supt)and (Dawson/AD). Duncan has built programs everywhere he has been (Murray) and now on a rebuild at Logan Co. Would be a coach that could build a new future, but has a great history with the program. In my opinion he would be a homerun. If the administration is looking for someone that has ties with community, this would be a long shot, but a great way to heal some wounds.

Heard some other names... Both are head coaches so I am not sure they want their names out there.. One was a former asst coach at Larue years and years ago.. Other name is former player.. And has been successful head coach at several places and lives practically right down road from Larue high school.

But didn't he leave Murray to go to Logan to be near and coach with his sons? I thought I heard that at some point. Two of them are in the BG area I think. I could be off, but thought I had heard that along the way. I do agree that he would be a homerun. Wonder if the super has forgotten he took his son over to their rival Etown, after he didn't get the job over Armes? I think he would be a great choice though.

Duncan would be a great hire if interested.

Like who? Sandidge?

 

If hire is made from in-house personnel, things won't sit well in the Land 'O' Lincoln.

 

I'm not throwing any currently-employed coaches' names out there, but there are some head coaches out there that have LaRue ties. Incuding one which might not even have to move houses to take the job.

 

MrKnowNothing, OptionFootball are sharing my same line of thinking ...

Will Super forgive him?? Who knows. I think the other one is the favorite. He moved to area bout two years ago and I think he wants to return home. But who knows-- he may be happier in the "greenier" pastures he is at currently

If you're hinting at who I think you are, and I'm pretty dang sure you are, he's got a history of packing up and leaving rather quickly. So it wouldn't shock me in the least to see him leave those "greener" pastures.

 

Kinda shocked to hear Duncan's name thrown into the ring. I had completely forgotten about his ties to the area, even though I'm close to Zipp's age (he's one or two, maybe three, years younger than I). And I had forgotten about him getting the snub when they hired Armes.

 

But as the old saying goes, time (supposedly) heals all wounds.

That hire would be a disaster. IMO.

Horse, Drama, Doyle, I do not think him moving to E-town will have and impact. He did what anyone would do in that situation. Do what is best for you and your family. You can carry around hard feelings, but Louisville that was used like a condom by Petrino numerous times went and rehired him, because he was a winner. Sometimes when you are an assistant at a school unless you move no one will ever see you as anything else, and Phil Eason then John Sullivan, Newton had been the head coaches. Armes was hired later.

Okay and like I said, to compare Chuck Smith's two week stint at Madison Central as an example is strange and a totally different situation than this. Then to try to tie things I may or may not have said about Chuck Smith leaving Madison Central and then taking the job at Boyle County to say how ironic it is that I am defending Josh Jaggers? Nahhh.....why would I think you are coming at me personally? How silly of me. I am grasping......once again you are right just like you always are. My fault, I bow at the feet of Leatherneck's amazing wisdom.

 

 

Let me explain something to you and let me be totally clear to you when I say this......

 

 

I like Josh Jaggers a whole lot more than any football coach in this state. He's been great to me and in return I'll always be good to him. I'll always ride hard for Josh Jaggers and I'll always be a fervent supporter of Josh Jaggers. I am loyal to Josh Jaggers and always will be. When you have my loyalty like he does you have it for life and you have it 100%. Loyalty is something I take very seriously and loyalty is a quality schools and coaches should have and when someone I am loyal to is screwed over because they were being loyal then you better believe that my loyalty is going to come into play when discussing it.

 

 

I believe you have a non-sexual crush on him.

:lol2: I do love that dude.

One of the names (NOT Duncan) I've heard associated with the possible new LaRue coach has bounced around. And outside one program more than 3 years ago, has had limited success.

 

Put it this way: Jaggers himself has MORE playoff wins since 2009 than the guy (again: NOT Duncan) some people want to replace him with.

 

If you are referring to Duncan, I would NOT blame him for coming back to the area. It would be a bit of a slap to Logan to say he took that job to get closer to Bowling Green and THEN move to LaRue (further from BG than Logan). But Logan is a leapfrog job at best (and a career killer at worst).

 

Duncan's a home-run hire if LaRue lands him. Pretty sure Josh Jaggers would agree.

Again I tell of you administration have created all of this stuff about coaches leaving. Heck Nebraska has now fired 2 count them 2 head coaches that when they were fired had won 9 games with a bowl game left. Insanity they are doing this stuff now in high schools in KENTUCKY were football takes a back seat to hoops and that my friends is why coaches today will leave in a heartbeat if they can!!!

 

Heck, I wonder how many good athletes at LaRue skip out on FB because of wrestling? Basketball surely suffers because of it.

I also wonder if Coach Jaggers might find a way to scratch his whistle itch by helping out at Nelson Co.? Seems a logical spot.
