Coach Lewis is officially retiring from football. After a career that spanned over 30 years and included work on the assistant coaching staff of Bill McCartney at Colorado University, and high school coaching stops in Colorado, California, and three programs in Kentucky, Coach Doctor Oliver Lucas is hanging up his whistle.

Congratulations on your retirement, coach!

Congrats Coach Lucas!

This could be a job that gets a lot of good candidates. Facilities have obviously been greatly upgraded, seems to be a steady stream of talent that comes through. Obviously a lot more that goes into having a good program, but those aren’t bad starting points. 

Congrats to Coach Lucas on great career!

Does Mark Scenters move up the road?

To me that would seem like a smart move for GRC. 

Congrats Coach Lucas! Who are some candidates for this one? 

Congrats Coach Lucas! 

Coach Lucas was my oldest daughters teacher at Manual.  She said he always was pumping the kids up in class while challenging them as well.  One of her favorite teachers that year!  Thanks for making a difference in the lives of so many kids Coach!

Coach Stults has been the longtime #2 on the coaching staff at GRC...under multiple head coaches. I would assume he would be a favorite if he applies.

Stults would be excellent hire if he wants the job!

I just kind of wonder whether or not he wants it, because he's either applied and has been looked over in the past (in which case he's had no hurt feelings preventing him from staying on as an assistant), or he hasn't applied when they job has come open multiple times during his tenure at GRC.

My guess is it's the latter rather than the former.

Didn't see another thread about it. Job was posted on KHSAA on the 5th.

Yes he would !!

Any word on this? Haven't heard anything in a while. Several jobs have opened and been filled since this became available.......

With the job still open and so little talk I think it points to an internal hire.  Could be wrong of course but that would make since.
