Open Job: Lincoln County

[theguru]

I am hearing that is the word on the street.

Anyone?

[TylerDurden]

My group text says yes. "Mutual parting of ways" is the word.

Well that didn’t last long.

Thanks but I am told all of that is pretty much hogwash and that Jaggers was forced out.

I think we ask LC Flyguy.  He will be the one to drop the knowledge of the situation.

With all due respect, Mr Network is the go to person for Lincoln County sports.

Josh Jaggers is a great coach, he will do well wherever he decides to go. Well liked person in the community too, from what I could tell by talking to people in that area.

Another black eye with cowardice administration towards the coaching profession!

Some Facebook comments from the WPBK-FM announcement. 

Regrettably, some parents have been after this coach all year long. I understand him not wanting to stay where he is not wanted or appreciated. It’s a shame small town (edited) cost these boys a coach that cares about them. It was pretty nice to have a coach that was not impressed with last names but focused on their talent.

Coach Jaggers, I wish you the absolute best and hope to see you again. It’s been an honor.

*Two people responded to the above comment saying it was 100% the truth and a truth bomb.

This county doesn’t surprise me no more honestly. The Parents ran off a very successful coach before he came here, who cared about the kids, the community and the future of Lincoln County Football and was doing his best to get it set in the right direction and they ran him off all because he played kids who deserved it and had the talent that he had available to him and the team instead of playing kids based off whom there parents were.

==========

How many coaches are they going to run off or fire?

==========

Even Larry Vaught got involved:

Larry Vaught - Very surprising. Seems like Josh loved his job.

To which someone responded:

Larry Vaught, he did. His family was very happy here and he loved this team.

==========

I know I probably won't get a straight answer, but why?

Response:  oh honey you know this is the Lincoln county school system who ever gets a straight answer about anything

==========

Rumor says they pink slipped him, fired him but put it as a resign to make it not look so bad to have 3 coaches in 4 years.

==========

It is sad that a person that is 57 years old and lives with his parents is making decisions that affect our student's life's This Pink Parrott needs to go if this is the best he can do! This really makes this community look like a bunch of hillbillies.

Probably not a good look to take the entire week of fall break off with no practice/workouts so coach can go to the beach. 

[Co@chPitino]

This was Lincoln County's guy. If my info is correct, he was the only one interviewed for this job when it came open a couple of years ago. Asst. Coaches very outspoken about the dismay within the program, lack of work ethic, lack of leadership, lack of cohesion. Fights in the field house during school hours, fall break fiasco.... I really doubt this was a mutual parting of ways.

There goes the season. No chance of recovering from that.
