Open Job: Mason County

Graham isn’t a teacher though, right??

 

No he is not.

He would leave in a heart beat. Why is it a good jod? He is in a region where he is never going to win a regional championship. Much better chance to win at Mason County.

 

I agree that a coach probably has a better chance of winning a regional title at Mason Co. than at Henry Clay. But I still think Henry Clay is a great job. HC has two regional titles ('05, '03) in the past 20 years and 1 regional runner-up ('14). So "Yes" it is difficult winning regional titles at Henry Clay, but I wouldn't consider it impossible.

Heard Graham has a lot of demands, probably won’t work out.

Demands of teaching position or day job in his case, assistant coaches , camp money etc

Robbie Graham has no teaching degree, will have a state contending team for the next 2 or 3 years, and would also have to move from Winchester.

 

Brian Kirk has a teaching degree in Health/PE, and will be a step up from Augusta. His wife works at the school and they live a stone's throw away from the Fieldhouse.

 

The main problem I see with hiring a new coach is, all the other names I have heard would have to move their family one or two hours away. That means buying a new house, selling your old one, moving kids schools, finding a job in the school system, finding your wife a job near-by. Doing all that for a traditionally under-talented Mason County team, not knowing if you'll coach for 3 years, or 30. It's more of a risk than most people think.

Then explain your other post on "he has lots of demands".

[One Great Scorer]

I think it will either be Brian Kirk or Willie Feldhaus. Both are PE teachers, and Mason County will have an open PE teacher position next year.

Fair assumption. Also scratch that about Willie Feldhaus. He said in an article he is moving back to Lexington.
