School press release:

Lincoln County High School is excited to announce Josh Jaggers as the new head football coach. 

Jaggers has been the head coach at LaRue County High School for the past 5 seasons and has 17 years of high school football coaching experience, including being an assistant coach for Mercer County football in 2006 when they won the state championship. Jaggers was 30-24 in the past five season at LaRue County including a state semi-final appearance in 2018.

Jaggers played for Lincoln County High School in 1996 and is a 2000 graduate of Danville High School where he was a state runner-up in 1998. He was a Mr. Football finalist in 1999 and a 1st Team All State Lineman while playing at Danville. After high school Jaggers signed with the University of Kentucky to play football for the Wildcats. He later finished his playing career at Campbellsville University where was an all conference lineman.  

Josh and his wife Megan, along with their two daughters, are excited to lead Lincoln County football. “Life is about taking opportunities, and the opportunity to return to the place where I grew up on the sidelines to coach was an opportunity I could not pass up,” said Head Coach Josh Jaggers. 

“We were blown away by the interest in this job. We took our time with this search, and evaluated the 15 applicants we had for the position,” said Lincoln County High School Principal Michael Godbey. “Josh blew us away with his vision for the program on and off the field. He understands the value of a strong feeder system and has a great track record of helping his players further their career after high school. He will be a great addition as a teacher, coach and community member!” 

Jaggers will immediately start putting together his staff and getting ready to lead the Patriots for the upcoming football season as the 12th head coach in school history.

WPBK-FM story….

Josh Jaggers, has been named the 12th head coach in the 48 year history of Lincoln County High School football. He replaces Spencer Crutchfield who resigned in December to take the head coach’s job at Garrard County, his alma mater.  Jaggers is 40 years old and has eight seasons’ experience as a head coach.

Josh’s father, Marty, was the head coach at Lincoln County from 1991-1996, and Josh played one season as a Patriot for his dad. His mother, Judy, was a teacher and assistant Principal at Stanford.

After the family moved, Josh finished his high school career at Danville, where he was an all-state lineman and a finalist for Mr. Football in 1999.  Josh was most recently the head coach at Laure County.  He and his wife Megan, also a teacher, have two young daughters. The family will relocate to Lincoln County. 

This will be a homecoming of sorts for the whole Jaggers family, and I’m sure we’ll see Marty back on the sidelines (and Judy in the stands) on Friday nights. 

Welcome back to Death Valley, Josh!

On a serious note, congrats to Coach Jaggers. I know there was a lot of consternation in the other thread but I don't see how anyone, including current assistants and their supporters can knock this hiring. Time to rally up the Patriots and go to work.

Just had a parent tell me their kid and the rest of the team found out the hire from Twitter… Could the admin not let Josh speak to the kids first? 
 

Congrats Coach Jaggers!
