Heard very good things about Coach Clevenger.  He will not be out of work for long!!

Whoever takes over this Danville program will have a very hungry and talented team.  If I remember right, most key players were sophomores.  Interesting that a coach is let go with such a bright future ahead.

They may lose some players over this.

This is total bologna.  That's about all I have to say about it now, other than I thank Clevenger for his years of service and getting the team back in the title hunt.  I hope he gets the Highlands job and wrecks it.

So @DanvilleFan you mean “wrecks it” as in “kills it” in a good way or “shows Danville” or you are hoping Clevenger gets “the Highlands job and wrecks it” as in to hurt Highlands and it’s kids really bad?

Need some clarification and how you really feel about all this...

I took it as in good way. I don’t think he wants guy he complimented to fail. Probably to show Danville they made mistake of letting him go.

I mean I hope he does well and makes the Danville decisionmakers regret the decision.  Judging by Facebook, the local community isn't happy with this firing at all.

Thx and I am now clear with your answer. 
 

Good luck to Danville on finding a new coach.

Great guy well respected coach! I guess they have a relative picked out for the job?

We're going to leave this thread for discussing the situation and circumstances surrounding Coach Clevenger's departure, and discussion about prospects for the next coach can take place in the thread below:

 

Haven’t seen a single person on local social media that is happy about this. 

 

Hearing he may slide across town to Boyle.  Probably not, but I hear a conversation took place.

That area is home for his and his wife's families so it makes sense he would look to stay there.

Yes, I understand that.  Just can't see a state title winning young coach step down to a coordinator position for very long.

Wouldn’t that be interesting???

I understand what you are saying, but this quote from the Advocate Messenger may suggest he could stay.

“You know I don’t know,” Clevenger said. “I’ve had some people reach out with some opportunities. I could go out and be a head coach tomorrow if I would go for an interview. At the end of the day, our family is from Danville. We have really strong roots here. To pick things up and move away from that just to satisfy my needs would be selfish and would not be fair to them. It will be a family decision. I have to do what is best for my family.”

Yeah I saw.  May end up there, just can't imagine it would be for very long.  But who knows.  With family situation and what he said in the article it doesn't sound like he is looking to leave the area anytime soon.  Trying to look at opportunities within driving distance. 

Boyle - Needs to replace DC.  Clevenger mainly an Offensive guy but could see him going there at least short team.  Big enough program that former head coaches seem comfortable there.  A couple of years ago I think there were 5 or 6 former HC's on staff at same time. 

Lincoln - They have got their man.

Mercer - They have their man and a pretty good staff.

West Jessamine - Just one abbreviated year under new coach but took great strides from '19 to '20.

East Jessamine - Seems content with their mediocrity.

Washington County - Needs to improve.  Tough district.

Casey - Stoney isn't going anywhere and they will soon forget about this hiccup of a season. 

Marion - Needs something. Not sure it's Clevenger.

Rockcastle - Needs a change, see remarks for East Jessamine.

Garrard - I think Perry is there a couple of more years before he hangs it up. 

Madison Central - Would have been intriguing if Holcomb was not already on board.  

 

If moving out of the area is off the table then actually Boyle seems like the best fit, if only for a year or two.  But just my opinion of course.
