Shuttlesworth Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 With Atchley going to Bullitt East, a nice job opened up.
Statsdontlie Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 LCA is a good job, they played a lot of freshman and Sophomores this year. Future is definitely bright.
BEChargers Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Didn't know Bullitt East was open? Coach was let go in November. BE going all in with the young coach.
FridayNightHeroes Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Good move. Really good young coach that will work hard and win quickly. I think he can give them instant success.
Calico Jack Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 LCA is a good job if you aren’t worried about pay or retirement. He just doubled his income and got in or back in KTRS.
gchs_uk9 Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 He just doubled his income and got in or back in KTRS. I thought he was actually teaching in the Fayette County Public Schools and only coaching at LCA?
Calico Jack Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I thought he was actually teaching in the Fayette County Public Schools and only coaching at LCA? Could have been? I didn't realize that.
Big Things Kentucky Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) We hear LCA OC Doug Charles is leading candidate for job. Also Coach Atchly was serving as asst AD at LCA. Edited January 3, 2019 by True blue (and gold) Rule 13
Straitshooter Posted January 7, 2019 Posted January 7, 2019 Could have been? I didn't realize that. He has been at LCA as an assistant AD for all of his time there. He left FCPS when he got the job at LCA I believe. LCA on the surface is a good job but there have been some changes taking place there that are hurting them I think. Financially I think they are struggling and fundraising is geared more toward the whole school than just athletics.
Cobraxx Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Doug Charles has been named Head Coach at LCA. Congrats to Coach Charles and the LCA football program!
Cobraxx Posted January 10, 2019 Posted January 10, 2019 He was 2 years ago when they won state. He was on the high school staff last year.
