We will see if Perry is interested when the time comes and it will come. I'd be willing to bet that he would have interest.

I'm right on with you studwr, it seems that people are quick to judge when coaches/teams are struggling. It is apparent that kids during the Stonebraker/Cooper era made many progressions. I don't think they got the support they needed from the community and was quick to want a change. I know Stonebraker & Co. had to deal with alot of grade and behavior issues that were out of their hands. With small schools, we all know that is a tough pill to swallow. I wouldn't judge a coach on that. Now if this staff reloaded tons of talent each year and still produced 2-9 seasons, I would agree with GCHS UK9 that there needs to be a change but I highly doubt that was the case. I think alot of people in Garrard need to realize that and provide a helping hand instead of a noose. Thanks studwr for seeing my point.

 

See grade and behavior issues are within their hands. You can get students tutoring and behavior problems can be corrected with some discipline. I am not very high on Stonebreaker or Cooper's credentials, and we all agree that the school needs change. With the schedules Stonebreaker puts together (especially at Casey) it would be impossible to go 2-9 if you put a team on the field. With Their new district and class they should be able to be a top contender in their district and region, and yet they have losses to Washington Co., and Pendleton Co. (a team that had to go to overtime to beat Bourbon). Plus they arent even competetive against Somerset, which they have to go through.

Discipline can only help grade and behavior issues to an extent. These things have to be fixed at home. Too many parents expect coaches and the school to raise their kids, and they just can't do it. Kids and parents have to be accountable for their behavior, don't blame the coach, or someone else. That is what is wrong with our society today.

I will take that bet

I think he would listen to the offer. I'm not sure if he would take it.

Okay, the bet is on. Also, let us see if the he goes after Garrad Job. I think not.

I have no idea about hiring a coach, but limiting it to only candidates with head coaching experience with the state of Garrard County is silly. Garrard County is a very low rung team and they can not command the type of coach similar to Boyle County. This means that if they require head coaching experience, then they will only get a former no win former head coach.

I think he will definitely talk to Garrard. Taking it is another question.

So what would be something that the fans / students / players / parents would want to see from a new coach coming into GC, if Cooper does not get the position?

I think the fans want maturity from the head coaching position, something that hasn't been present over the last seven years.

Stonebreaker's only accomplishment has been getting teams into the playoffs, which is something that 75% of the teams in KY do now-a-days. I think Garrard Countians would like to see a Coach with a proven record for taking programs to the next level.

Well the last two years at GC was down years, low number and under classman. The new coach is going to look good for about 3 years before it goes back down hill.

I am new to this site, so I'm learning as I go, but my first question on the Garrard position is how do you guys find this info? I never hear any of this stuff. The only thing I have heard is that some people are saying the admin is going to move slow.
