The names most mentioned here all are “Lincoln County guys.” 
 

Levi Rogers is a 2008 LCHS grad, and was the career passing yardage leader until surpassed by Bryson Yaden, and that was on a team that Levi was the assistant coach. He played at Lincoln for Larry French, and coached at Lincoln with Leffew and Crutchfield, and his father played at Lincoln in the late 70s and early 80s.

Daniel Cooper is also a former player and is a current teacher in the system, having graduated LCHS in 2016. He played for both Settles and Leffew, his father played for Wooldridge, and his grandfather played at Stanford High. His history with football at Lincoln is kinda like Crutchfield’s at Garrard.  
 

Josh Jaggers spent his most formative years in Lincoln County, attending school there from the 4th through 9th grades, and playing football for one season—his father’s last at Lincoln as head coach. Josh lived and died with the Lincoln football teams of the early and mid 90s, and what many may not know, is that he deep-down wanted to stay at Lincoln when Marty resigned. Eventually, the family moved to Danville and Josh enrolled there. Also, you may find it interesting to know that Josh wore a Lincoln football shirt under his pads for every game during the three years he played at Danville. In my opinion, Josh considers two places home—Larue County, where his mother is from, and Lincoln County where he has so many good memories. 
 

Will Josh take the job if offered? Only Josh knows that, but to say that Lincoln needs a Lincoln guy, is ignorant to Josh’s history, and to imply that he isn’t a proven head coach is silly. While he doesn’t have a winning record at Larue County, he’s been in a pretty tough alignment and has fared better than anyone else there.

This whole process will turn out to be a joke. If Lincoln makes the wrong hire kids will leave and we will be in the same boat we’ve always been in. The hires before haven’t gotten the job done take coach French out of it and it’s been a 20 year bust.

Can we get a look at the other 2 resume? Because I sure Rogers and Cooper have much more than what you listed. You seem pretty one sided here.

Feel free to post their resumes. That’s all I have, as neither has been a head coach, played in a state title game, coached in one, or been a Mr. Football finalist. 
 

I have tracked Josh’s career, for my historical records, as the son of a former LC head coach. Everything in the “resume” I posted came from media reports or other public information through the years.

I like both Rogers and Cooper, and have known their families a long time. There was no intent to slight either one. 

[Hitemdeep]

If interested Jaggers has football in his blood, experience as head coach and I believe LC would support him. He is also young enough to relate to the kids well and if he gets support from his Dad it’s a winning situation for the Patriots. 

[Statsdontlie]

Josh Jaggers would be the best hire. Believe me Josh would get more kids to come out and play. A couple of the kids that helped win the last middle school championship at Lincoln are not playing including the best player Thaden Garr. 

[Statsdontlie]

Wouldn't it be cool to see Josh Jaggers as the head coach and Jerry Perry as his defensive coordinator. 

[Backseat Ball Coach]

I know Rogers had back to back double digit winning seasons at Lincoln as a QB. I’m not sure the last time this was done in the program, but hasn’t come anywhere close to that since then. Those seasons resulted in district titles, a regional title, and state-semi appearance. He was also brysons QB coach and OC for most of his career.  I could be wrong, but I think he still holds every other QB passing record at the school (season yards, season TD’s, Career TD’s).  He also is the guy responsible for bringing Coach Crutchfield to LC because they are first cousins.  He was the defensive coordinator for Coach Crutchfield. They had 2 shutouts this season, which I’m not sure when that has happened in the program history. He was an assistant on a staff that won Garrard county their only regional title in school history as well. I think it’s very safe to say he knows what it takes to win at LC.

All true. Levi is a Patriot through and through, and is a hometown hero of Lincoln football.
