Job listed on the Jessamine County site. 

Coach Harper out after 1 season the Colts were just 8-21 on the season.

Heard the interim knew he wouldn't be the long term hire when he took it and there is a former college coach taking this one. 

I would think this would be a very attractive job that would draw a lot of interest.

Do we have a name?

I know it's pretty bold to come in and post that and not have a name, but I do not. This was told to me in January and the name wasn't provided at the time, unfortunately. I was just told it was "a done deal".

Didn't former head coach Damon Kelley leave early in the school year to be the athletic director at a school in Lexington? I always assumed this was an interim position this season. West has long had a very solid program; I suspect there will be quite a bit of interest.

Dunbar.

West Jess will have a deep applicant pool.  It's year in/year out a solid job in the 12th region.

They are a good program and had a ton of success in the 12th region.  I have never seen a roster as bad as what they have now at West.  They will need someone that can bring in transfers in the short term to have any success over the next 2-3 years.

This feels like the wrong approach and also a sad testament to what high school sports is becoming.

I am not saying this is what they should do or the approach they should take just the facts that whoever they bring in is going to struggle with their current roster. 

They had 1 SR that played this year.  I wouldn't say they have a great roster, but they played a ton of SOs this season so with the right coach they will improve.

Will the freshman big stay in town?
