Not heard any names other then the head coach down I65 that has applied for most open jobs this season.

1- Incorrect. Chad has not applied for Central Hardin. However, with having played there, coached there, then having the success Hart County has had just down the road, it's natural that his name would be brought up on the rumor mill.

2- Central Hardin will likely name their HC next week & let's just say, instead of down I65, they are down the WKY parkway.

3- If "Most Open Jobs this season" mean:

• LaRue- Who called him
• Glasgow- Absolutely looked into it and rightfully so, mutual interest.
• Meade County- See Glasgow.

4- Before anybody brings up Marshall County from last year, they (some admin) were the ones that came up to Hart County during their 2023 playoff run to watch 2nd, 3rd & 4th round games.

5- Barren County in 2023? See LaRue. See Marshall

However, if 5 jobs of the 90 or so the last two years is "most open jobs", then yes.

Wagner at McLean? Correct me if I'm wrong but hadn’t CH been traditionally a wing-t team? 
 

With what Wagner has done at McLean he would be a big time hire this late in the game. 
 

Maybe Grayson County HC? He has been really good at Grayson during his tenure there too.

Both would be very good.   But, Zach is also an assistant principal at McLean as well. Hardin County doesn't allow admin to be coaches.

It's neither of those, though.

Those were the two that jumped out at me as having some of the most success down the Parkway. Interested to see who gets this job. 

Would Bardstown be down the parkway or would it be up?  Isn't there a guy that retired over that way who could be a big hire for the Bruins!

He just took the Graves job in January didn’t he?

No.  Lance resigned after the 2018 season. His son was coming up (who just finished his senior season this year) in middle school at the time.  Coached them + the need to want to get into administration.  
 

He stepped in over the summer of ‘23 when Graves on an interim basis when then coach resigned late.

Some will wonder I’m sure why the interest in a potential move, especially being at Graves since leaving John Hardin in ‘09 for the GCHS job, moving into an admin role (pay in particular), but:

1- He’s originally from Russellville, played at Logan County.

2- His wife and her folks are from Frankfort.

3- I don’t know this for certainty off hand, but I’m confident in saying that the Hardin County teaching base pay + HFC stipend is equal to or greater than what he makes as an AP in Graves County.

Would be an absolute homerun hire in so many ways in general, but especially considering the “debacle” that this whole CH thing has appeared on the surface.

A- He’s a proven winner at school/program almost identical to Central Hardin in Graves County, in two different stints at that. From the “outskirts” of the main town (E-town/Mayfield), to the smaller communities they both 100% draw from.

B- He’s just a genuinely good dude (by NO means insinuating this also isn’t true for Stockdale, because from my own experiences, I can 100% say the same for him).

Sorry for the confusion I meant it as a great hire if they are able to make it.  Not that the hire had officially been made.
