Sounds great...mandatory dead week 1st week of October...dead week over x mas break, and a dead week 1st week of April to go along with 2 week dead period in summer.  

Sounds awful.

I could see many schools changing calendars to fit a mandatory khsaa fall/spring break. I could see many administrators, both district and school level, getting onboard with this idea.

This has went from the open Lincoln job thread to the "what's your opinion on fall break" thread. 

I feel bad for Coach Jaggers. He left a good program to come home and try to put a resurgence in to Lincoln County Football. Next thing he knows, he is ran out after year two. I hope he lands somewhere in a couple years and makes Lincoln County regret this move for years to come.

Agree. Coaches don't need more rules. Because it works for some doesn't mean all schools need to be told they have to do it. Just use your common sense. Do what works for your situation. 

What coaches are on the Lincoln County short list and/or should be interested in this job?

If they’re looking for their 3rd coach in 4 years what is the appeal for wanting this job? Other than a younger coach wanting a shot at the HC gig, what makes this appealing to a more tenured coach?

I think Levi Rodgers is the first call. Now, I’m not sure he would take it. The talent pool at Lincoln should be greater, and it should be a better job. But if administration has this reputation then why would you leave a job you are happy in, assuming he is. 
 

Another name to keep an eye on is long time Pulaski assistant Phil Russell. I noticed on Twitter Phil was not announced as part of the new staff. Phil has been a head coach at one point in his career, and may be up for the challenge if Rodgers turns Lincoln away.

Danville has some openings on its staff, I think.  Maybe Coach Jaggers can land there.

IIRC Rodgers was interested the last time this job came open.  Would he go someplace that overlooked him last time?  Something to chew on...

The taking the week off and using as a negative is a bunch of crap. It’s a pretty common practice. The people that have an issue with it have never coached a team that had to play during a fall break. 
 

These are kids. Let them take time to go on a trip with their families or be kids. Let coaches spend time with their families that they don’t get to see much during the season. Honestly most of the year because they are spending more time with their players than some parents spend with their kids. 
 

3 coaches in 4 years with Jaggers being there for 2 of those 4 years. Fans and admin need to get a grip on the realities of HS football. 

Levi should be #1 call.  He’s poured 10 years (plus 4 years of playing) into Lincoln football.  I’m sorry, this may offend some but he should’ve been offered it last time it opened.  

And, I’ll add he did a great job with a Casey Co team that was supposed to be in rebuild mode this season after Stonebraker left.  He is a grinder, and will work at it.

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. 

Lol, you've definitely got yourself some bad information there. He was not the only guy who interviewed. They interviewed Coach Rogers and Coach Cooper both the last time. And that's all over in the old thread if you look at up. And Cooper was still an assistant last time I checked, so color me shocked to hear that someone who was passed over for a job is outspoken and trash-talking the guy who was hired as head coach instead of him.

So we know that some of the info you've obtained is incorrect. I wonder how much of the rest of it is. It definitely makes it qll the easier to see the extent that people are going to around the Lincoln County community to try to push their own agendas with (intentionally?) false information in order to run off coaches.

Casey County wasn't in rebuild mode. Stoney had the program at Casey in a great spot when he left. Anyone worth their salt in coaching will tell you that most all public high school football in programs that aren't in large urban areas are as cyclical as it comes. Casey Co is definitely no exception, and Steve took the Adair job while Casey was peak downcycle. Stonebraker took over a program that hadn't had more than 5 wins a season in the previous 5 years, and he turned it around and then had them winning 10 games in each of his first two seasons there. Facts.

Levi has himself a nice situation going down there at Casey Co. If he's wise, he stays there and does NOT go home. Y'all have seen firsthand what going home to Lincoln did to Jaggers. That place is poison for coaching careers. The folks there grind 'em up and spit 'em out.

It's no wonder Lincoln Co calls their field Death Valley. They even have the tombstone at their field. Seems to me like the administration should start engraving the names of all the coaches they unceremoniously run off onto that sucker.

I am a big fan of Lincoln  County Patriot football and Josh Jaggers. 

Best wishes to both going forward.
