J. Peterman Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Any word coming out Hazard. I'm hearing former Pikeville assistant is interested in returning to Mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefSmoke Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 I know of one excellent young assistant that is prepping materials to apply. Would be a great hire. When I was an assistant at Paris, we had a dang track meet down there one night to open the season. 1989. Beautiful place for a football game. The mountains of eastern KY are special and the brand of football played in the mountains is top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hard Work Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 Bump: This one has been open for some time. Anyone have any news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyKnight Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 The job isn’t posted on their district web page. Does anyone have details on who are candidates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have details on who are candidates? I've had a few folks tell me that Hazard has been trying to put things together to try to lure Joe Chirico back to eastern Kentucky. It seems to me that Coach Chirico has himself an awfully nice situation in Winchester, but one of the folks I was talking to said he has heard rumblings that Coach has been pretty disappointed with the way his seasons have panned out at GRC. I have no idea if there's a single bit of truth to the rumors, but that's the only name I've heard mentioned in terms of the Hazard job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very challenging district that GRC is in, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have also heard the name Matt Chandler. For clarification: McKee is the son of Scott County coach Jim McKee, was an assistant at EKU and now an assistant to his dad at Scott Counmty. Mills is an assistant at Boyle County. Chandler is an assistant at Franklin County and was at Danville before that, I believe. He also spent a couple seasons as head coach at Jenkins in eastern Kentucky. All are highly regarded and would seem to be excellent choices for Hazard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @gchs_uk9 and I have also heard the name Mike Holcomb (may just be wishful thinking) if you want to share anything about him. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holcomb was a loooooooong time successful coach at Breathitt County. He also spent a couple years at Letcher Central and most recently Madison Central before retiring at the end of the 2022 season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
