I don't intend any disrespect to Simon Kenton because they have a solid football program but moving from Ryle to Simon Kenton would be a step down more than it would be a lateral move.  

I would agree. Only reason I said lateral move is because the pay is better in Kenton County than Boone. I don't think that would be enough to sway someone to move from Ryle to SK. Ryle has been rolling recently and their youth feeder program is second to none.

I think things are going to get really interesting ... ... ... ... ... ... soon.

It is not Ryan Ware. I would be very surprised if any of the coaches currently on Ryle’s staff applied for this job.

Why would an assistant in a program with success not want a shot at a local head coaching position? If of course an HC position is their aspiration. Or are there other reasons I’m missing? 

Any updates?

Haven't read thru the entire thread.  Why wouldn't they call Noel Rash?  Recently retired from Holmes, he could pick up around spring break (retirement guidelines) and be the defensive coach they need.  Resume would be superior to anyone applying.

The last we heard he was coaching at St. X (OH).  Beyond that, I am not sure he would want to take on another head coaching job.

Interviews are done from what I heard. They will announce the new head coach after winter break.

I really can’t imagine sitting on a decision for two weeks before the announcement.  Time bomb looking to implode?

My understanding is Coach Rash has no interest in being a HC again. For a lot of people it’s not worth the headaches. On top of the fact Rash could pretty much coach wherever he would like.

Probably not a decision being made in Independence.  That is coming from Fort Wright.

The new coach will know very very soon. Just not being announced until after the holidays.

I hope the comment was aimed at the Kenton County Board of Education, which is located in Fort Wright, and not meaning a Colonel assistant is departing.  That would be a massive loss.

Ah, I did not make that BOE connection.
