Long time Boyle County DC and former HC at Garrard County coach Jeff Hester is teaching his last day at Boyle County today.  A lot of young men are better people today because of Jeff and that means more to me than anything he helped Boyle achieve on the football field.  Jeff held players accountable and challenged them to be better today than they were yesterday.  He was also the first person running across the field to congratulate the winning coaches no matter how heartbreaking may have been for Boyle.  He is my friend and I am going to miss him.  Happy retirement Coach !

Congrats Coach Hester, enjoy your retirement!

One of the best guys in the world. Terrific coach and person. Happy that he’s retiring - I hope he enjoys it!

Coach Hester is one of the best men and coaches I have ever enjoyed playing for and coaching beside. He has taught me a tremendous amount about football but even more about life. I hate seeing him leave, but I am also happy for him and hope he enjoys his retirement. Coach Hester has been a great mentor to many, and I enjoyed calling him my coach and friend. He truly is a hero of mine and a legend in Kentucky high school football.

Watched Jeff interact and coach during the 7 on 7 summer stuff that FCHS and Boyle worked together on last few years... He is elite. It was apparent... I would say that Boyle will not be the same without Jeff around.

 Congrats to Coach Hester! Well earned and deserved retirement! Good luck in future!

Great man!  Helping out at Centre as Linebackers coach.

This.  

All day long...this. 

Congratulations to Coach Hester! 

Congratulations to Coach Hester! He will be missed at Boyle County! 

Billy Graham said that a coach will impact more people in one year than the average person will in an entire lifetime. That definitely fits Coach Hester. 

 

Terrific person!! I worked for Jeff at Garrard County. He would give you the shirt off his back to help you. 

Mixed emotions. Happy for my wonderful friend, Jeff Hester and his retirement from Boyle County HS. But, hate to see such a tremendous man and coach leaving KY HS Football.

They do not come any better than Coach Hester.  Great coach, father, husband, and friend.
