    I think Sphire already has the program in a better place than it was before he arrived.

  • It is really tough to find excellent football coaches. The Bluebirds have one.  I have old guy bias… but experience is underrated.  August of 1989 or 90… remember driving to Hindman one Satu

  • I tried to tell them...

What if Corbin wins State?  I'm just curious if that changes anything?

For the record I am from NKY and grew up playing football in the late 90's early 2000's, so Highlands expectations for winning state championships isn't lost on me.

I don’t live in the Fort, but I know two things:

1.) Cake eaters are not happy with losing in the 3rd round multiple years in a row.

2.) Bert's son plays for the Bluebirds at the youth level, and Ft. Thomas residents are hopeful that means he’s coming back.

2023 - Lost in the 4th round not the 3rd

2024 - Lost in the 4th round not the 3rd

Yeah but his son is gonna go play for him at Moeller. The pressure to win at both Moeller and Highlands are the same. Only difference is he gets to work with D1 kids left and right plus he took Moeller to state last season. He’s got unfinished business over there.  

They could just try and move down to 3A?

Bathiany ain’t leaving Moeller to go to Highlands.  

Didn’t Bathiani just get bounced from the playoffs with a loaded roster and 4 ⭐️ QB? I am hearing Moeller has him on the hot seat???

Son cannot play for him at Moeller.

I have seen plenty of KY kids play in Ohio one way or another.

Technically no. But at the same time, Moeller will find a way and make an exception an allow it.

No, not really. And I think it more likely that Boyle wins big, showing that they have really progressed as the season has gone on. That is what championship caliber teams do.

Do or Die? No.

Bob is an excellent football coach and has had a career that 99.5% of the guys that get into coaching would dream of achieving and experiencing.

Even if he is not the HFC at Highlands next year, life will go on and he will have an incredible career to celebrate. Or, a really smart school and administration will dig up a  bunch of money and he will get a great job because he is an elite football coach.

I hope they are ready to accommodate the baggage that comes along with him.

Most of the time, elite coaches are wired different. I know incredible football coaches that wanted to interview for jobs that the admin would not touch. When they would tell me those stories, it blew my mind.

Those guys are not always easy to have around. And, no one, no coach is perfect. 

Wish the Bluebirds & Coach Sphire... together or apart... the very best going forward.
