I've only heard of APs coaching out in the state in smaller districts. I would suspect larger districts like Jefferson, Bullitt, Oldham, Hardin, etc. would not be in favor of administrators also coaching.

Chris Mason, from Boyle County, is an AP at Bullitt East. There seem to be many other names bouncing around. Coach Miller is there and was a head coach at Fairdale. I have heard Mark Sander, who has a some connections there, and wealth of experience. The last time this job was opening I heard there were several good coaches interested.

I would think if Mark wants the job, and the rumors are true, then it will be his. PURE speculation mind you.

Can anyone verify whether or not Bullitt East is officially open?

Brock Sholuders needs to come home to Webster Co and turn the program around!

Still don't think anything 100% official, job is not posted anywhere that I see.

 

But all things considered it sounds like it will be open soon.

Rick: I agree with you, sound like its just a matter of time. You seem to know a lot about Bullitt area-- are you applying for the job?

Can't apply for a job that isn't open . . .

 

I have several coaching friends in Bullitt, Hardin, Shelby and Nelson counties, so I try to keep up with what is going on in the programs in those areas.

Touche', just yanking at your chain a little.

 

You may be able to answer this..... what's up with football in the county of Nelson. Mark Brown is an awesome/hall of fame coach and 1996 was a while back so things can change, I get that, but like what's up with NCHS and TNHS?

Oh I understand.

 

Thomas Nelson is kind of set-up to struggle from a football perspective. They get kids from the New Haven area which until recently did not have a youth football program, soccer is big there. When the school opened they were in a 2A district with CAL, DeSales and Bardstown. This year they joined a 3A district with Central, Bardstown and Henry County. So it is going to be very tough for them to compete consistently until they can build things at the younger levels, in my opinion, those are very strong established programs.

 

Not sure what is going on at Nelson. The new facility they have is gorgeous, though I heard very sparsely attended. I know by enrollment they asked to play up in 5A instead of being in a 4A district with John Hardin. I don't know if they thought they'd be more competitive in 5A but they only won 1 district game this year against a bad Oldham County and didn't make the playoffs. From when I've gone to watch them it seems like they can't settle on a scheme. A few years back they were option, then air raid no huddle throwing it 50 times a game, to something different again this year.

Scott Carmony (sp?) is rumored to be next HC at Manual.

What has he been doing since Butler?

Oh I understand.

Thomas Nelson gets kids from Bloomfield Middle and OKHMS so neither school has a "feeder" and currently neither has a coach. Bloomfield MS didn't finish their middle school season due to lack of numbers if I heard correctly. Biggest issue is not enough talent in a county that size to support 4 schools...all which are located in a 5 mile radius. NCHS never should have split...poor choice by the former super and BOE.

Could be wrong, but thought he was AD at one point.

Thomas Nelson gets kids from New Haven and OKH. Nelson gets all of Bloomfield and the other part of OKH. They split east and west with 150 being the dividing line, for the most part.
