Ganaway works a lot with The UC Report which is major recruiting service. So that should be something that parents and players would be excited about. Seeing what  Power 4 talent looks like and being able to push the young men on the team to reach for those aspersions.

He has a lot of ties to Owensboro(city).  He coached in the KFL LEAGUE, and he started a training club and 7/7 club. Dynasty I think.  He knows a lot of these boys. 

Thought I would rise out of hibernation….just as I thought.  Good luck Owensboro, let’s go purples!

Well, as of this morning things have changed and it sounds like they will be interviewing some internal candidates before making a final decision next week.  Originally, candidates were told they would know today but that will not be the case.  Speculate on that what you will, but there will be no information today.  Enjoy the weekend folks!

I’m OK…..

 

I told y’all there would be blow back….I’m sure Ganaway is a good guy who cares about the kids. He seems to be very connected and has had experience being a head coach. But I find it hard to justify hiring him over an assistant coach that has given his blood, sweat, and tears to the program. A coach who was one of the best players to EVER play on Frederica Street. Then on top of that he’s given the program 10+ years as an assistant coach. Look around this board. Blake Powers just got the Meade Co. job. JT Haskins just got the Bryan Station job. And I’m sure there are tons of other examples of former star players being hired. The only justification, IMO, for OHS not hiring this assistant was if you had a candidate that had a championship caliber pedigree you went with. You don’t skip over him for someone with a losing record and the locals not pull out the pitch forks. Hell I had mine sitting by the door!! (Ha!)

The last thing that any program needs is to hire a coach that no one wants.  Makes it an uphill climb on ice from the start!  Both the program and the coach will be thankful in the long run.
