For all of us old-timers it is a real shocker to see the Highlands, Danville, and Tilghman jobs all open at the same time. Add in Coach Beatty's retirement at Trinity and subsequent hiring of Coach Cobb and I must admit this has been a very different off season. Good luck to all the coaches, schools, and families involved.

You and I think a lot alike @9068...

 

 

Any mention, discussion, and media regarding politics or political figures is expressly prohibited on BluegrassPreps. This includes, but is not limited to the mention or names of any elected or publicly appointed officials, both domestic and foreign, by name, title, or by the offices held (e.g. - president, governor, chancellor, mayor, minister, senator, congressman, commissioner, attorney general, county clerk, magistrate, Beshear, Clinton, Lincoln, Merkel, Obama, Putin, Reagan, Roosevelt, Trudeau, Trump, etc). Any direct references or inferences to political terminology and activities, (e.g. - government, Democrat, Republican, GOP, conservative, liberal, campaign, lobby, legislature, filibuster, caucus, etc) and anything else deemed political in nature by the BGP staff is also prohibited from the site. Likewise, this also includes 3rd party links to articles that are political in name or in nature. Additionally, the use of names/nicknames deemed by the BGP staff as references to political figures (e.g. - Andy, Donald, Tricky Dick, Slick Willy) will not be permitted on BluegrassPreps.

Keeping in mind BGP's core purpose as a sports-discussion community, discussion of the the managing bodies specifically serving over high school, college, amateur, and professional sports leagues (KHSAA, NCAA, IOC, MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL et al), along with the officers, officials and the titles held by the individuals within those organizations is permitted on BGP. Similarly, high school and college/university administrators and officials, when discussed in a strictly non-political manner, are all permissible on BGP.

Part of me wonders if the Covid and shut down have contributed to this unusual turnover at these high profile programs. 

Coaches have been on edge since March, worried about their kids well-being. And, trying to figure out how to build a great team and win on the field in this environment. 

Also, I would not want to be a school administrator right now. They get hit from the public, their staff, the guidelines they must follow, etc.

In my lifetime, in school and out of school, I've never seen so many people on edge about to lose it. Stuff that is borderline crazy and would never have come to the surface like the shutdown and Covid have brought on. 

My two best skills for navigating the Pandemic:

1) Pray

2) Bite my lip

I can't even imagine trying to coach during this pandemic.  I'm thankful that all coaches in the state managed to do whatever was necessary so our kids got to see the field, get games in, and then get the playoffs in.
