Interesting turn of events. Coach Marple was named the principal at Taylor County High School earlier this year and had to resign his position as head coach, per school district guidelines. Marple's required resignation was confirmed in March when Taylor County assistant coach Scott Parkey was named head coach of the Cardinals.

Now McCreary Central Athletics has posted on Facebook that "Coach Marple comes to us from Taylor County High School where he was the head coach & principal," and that he is now head football coach for the Raiders.

No word on what happened to Eric Privett at McCreary Central, either.

On the face of it, it makes no sense. Financially, I'd think Principal at Taylor County is sufficiently more pay than football coach at McCreary County.

He is also the principal at the middle school at McCreary. 
 

Makes financial sense: plus, he does not have to quit coaching.

Didn't realize he was the middle school principal, thanks.
