Guys - we are changing things up a little and kicking off Season 5 with an episode on July 23rd. As much as we have enjoyed the past 4 years, we are always looking for ways to make it a little different/evolve and keep things from getting stale/boring. 

BluegrassPreps has been an excellent source for content & questions. Thank you to all of you and especially @theguru!

If you have any ideas on the following, please share here for Season 5:

Guests

Tough Topics

Listener Questions

Mini Episode Topics

Games of the Week

Format change ups, etc. 

Thanks to @DevilMayCare, I already have a head start on 2026 Mr. Football. 

Appreciate you all. KY HS Football is special and BluegrassPreps has certainly been a big factor in promoting & celebrating what we all enjoy and love each season.

Enjoy the rest of the summer and get ready to have a blast this fall!

I out kicked my coverage too, Coach. ?

Chief still enjoy the podcast. Feeling nostalgic this week and listened to episode 11 (I think) again and the discussion with Robbie Lucas, in what turned out to be just a few days before his passing. It was nice to here that voice again, thanks.

When we got wind of what was going on, we knew we had to pull that off. He was resistant but deep down I think he also knew what it would mean to the people that love him. It turned out super and I am so thankful it happened. Thanks for saying this. It sure does mean alot and we appreciate it. 

 

I heard Coach Smith pick Boyle and Bowling Green. Then I heard @ChiefSmoke pick Boyle. Didn’t hear him pick a winner for BG/BE.

I did NOT pick a winner!

This week's (TH, 9/3 at 7:30 pm EST) Tough Topic :

Is the spread offense making quarterbacks less prepared for college?
I reached out to one of the finest coaches in the nation, Andrew Coverdale, former Trinity OC who is now on staff at the University of Kentucky, helping his old QB, Will Stein.

His answer:

'Spread' has become such a catch-all term that it's hard to always know what it means. It's more about what a HS coach does or doesn't teach his QB about understanding defensive structure, what he does or doesn't ask him to do operationally - verbally calling a play in the huddle, at th LOS adjustments, involvement in protection, etc - that determines his readiness for college....regardless of the offensive structure.

I do think the transformation that Coach Mumme started has caused a larger shift in how teams practice and how much throwing and catching kids accumulate year around, which has certainly aided QB readiness.

My youngest son and former QB, Trosper, is on staff at UK. He is fortunate to work with Coach Coverdale often. Trosper is getting his Master's Degree right now in ELITE offensive scheme & design every time he gets to work w/ Andrew.

Our guests have killed it so far. Brian Landis (St. X), Dustin Lopez (Christian Co.), Jordan Amis (Hazard), Terry Brown (New Cath) & Oakley Watkins (LCA).

William Harris & I worked together for 7 years at Mercer County. Excellent young coach with a bright future. We recorded Monday night and he had some really good insights to share with us as well.

Hope you can join us!
