Sounds like Coach Jeremy Whitlow was let go by Green County. He was 2-17 in two seasons as head coach for the Dragons.

Green County football was 12-32 in the previous 4 seasons under Coach Hunter Jackson, who stepped down to take over as vice principal at GCHS.

I’ll start off with I feel terrible for Coach Whitlow. Year one with a new system to install and you have to replace something like 19 of 22 starters with some really young kids. Year two you have covid and just unreal the amount of injuries they sustained. Tough to succeed anywhere with the injuries they had.
 

With that said, Whoever gets this job is walking into a very good situation.
Dragons return both Running backs, QB, TE, 4 of 5 Linemen, and all but two receivers. 
Defensively they return 9 of the 11 starters. The loss of Gray and Hessig will hurt but they return enough to be very very good on defense.

Anyone in particular in line to get this job? Very winnable district.

I haven’t heard anything. I’ve been gone for a few weeks for work so haven’t been in the know crew. 
 

If they hire from within I would think Coach Judd who was the defensive coordinator and did a great job for them with them gets a shot or Coach Davis who coached offensive line and had some big rushers gets a look. 
 

I could also see Mike Griffiths making a come back, I wouldn’t be against it due to his ability to get wins.

Hearing Mark Peach has applied and is the main one in the running for the job. Didn’t figure he would leave Trigg for the Green County job. 

[ACHS15]

That is a surprise. But I'd think it would be his if he wants it.

Peach would be a great hire for the Dragons.  Would he try to lure his former college teammate Bryan Cross away from Casey County to call the defense?  Cross lives in Green Co.

Is there a reason Peach would be wanting to  leaving Trigg Co after just 1 year?

I don't know, but I keep hearing his name mentioned in the same sentence as this job.

Most of his career has been in the central Kentucky area. Coached high school at Anderson and Dunbar, college at Campbellsville, I believe. Trigg was where he landed after Anderson got rid of him last year (a whole different issue), but Green is close to where he's been for a long time. Probably helps explain the interest.

I’ve heard they have narrowed it down to 3 guys and have conducted interviews. I haven’t heard any names of who they might be, but I’ve heard some pretty interesting candidates applied. Some that come from some really good programs.

Good Luck to Coach Phelps.
