Maybe before Coach Burns arrived in Pulaski County. Warriors numbers have been down the last couple of seasons and they’re coming off of a 1-10 record, not sure how big that really is.

I think that is also a VERY good point. With Pulaski and even Somerset being the “top show in town” you have to wonder. 

Is he a front runner for Taylor County?

A lot can change fast in Somerset. It’s all about keeping your own and adding a few. A lot of the Somerset kids are SW kids, PC has added some Wayne and South side kids. It’s the wild Wild West down there. Lol 

They had a really talented team a few seasons ago and lost to Cooper in the regional finals. I remember that team being senior heavy. Have they had a few down years as far as the classes behind that group of seniors? Or are they losing kids to the other two schools nearby?

I also think I remember a thread that we had on BGP that stated they were on their 4th Defensive Coordinator in 4 years or something like that. I am sure that didn't help things either.

Will Jack Herron, Glasgow DC and former Southwestern DC be interested in this opening? He did just have one of the best overall statistical defenses in the entire state.

Yes. But it won't be mutual by SW. I believe the defense was a co-thing between him and the head coach.

Oh wow! And he was just looking for a new DC on Monday.

From the Commonwealth Journal:

 

Southwestern football head coach Jason Foley has resigned from his position, effective immediately.

In seven years as head coach of Southwestern, Foley had a 58-31 record, including a 9-3 record against crosstown rival Pulaski County. His teams won five consecutive district titles from 2019-2023, the most ever by a Southwestern coach as well as most consecutive.

The Warriors appeared in six consecutive region championships with Foley as the coach, also most overall by any coach in program history, and won only their second regional title in program history in the 2022 season. During his time at the helm, the program produced 28 All-State players and 33 players with college offers.

 

Southwestern athletic director Alex Eaton wished Foley well in his future endeavors.

"We would like to thank Coach Foley for his tremendous accomplishments over the past seven years. His dedication, work ethic and enthusiasm led to many successes. We wish him the best in any future endeavors while also being very excited about the future of the Warrior football program," Eaton stated.

Southwestern, who finished 1-10 this past season, will immediately begin looking for the next leader of their football program. Foley was only the fourth coach in the program's history.

Is this still a good job? Pulaski and Somerset seem to be doing pretty well…honest question cause I have no clue.

GJ Woolridge has to be the guy for this job.

I like GJ, but he has zero high school coaching experience. You think they’ll turn it over to him?
