I think Merle is very capable of choosing his assistants, when he was head coach at Lewis County Donnie Tyndall (who now coaches Morehead State) was one of his assistants so I don't think he needs any help from the experts posting in this thread.

What does it matter anyway who the asst's are. They have very little responsibilty. Let's face it the axe falls on the head coach when things go bad and the credit goes to the head coach when things go good. As for some of Dodd's asst's wanting to be asked Skaggs maybe the only one that wants to help. Adkins is gone thanks to Horne pink-slipping him. Parsley wants to coach his daughters. Trey Edwards is coaching baseball.So I don't see any of them really caring who the new asst's are. Let Kidwell pick who he wants and quit creating so many rumors on this thread. I'm sure we will all find out soon enough. Russell fans be true fans and get behind the kids not the administration or certain coaches.

 

This coming from the guy who said last week that a teacher was pinked slipped so that Sutton could move right in and be the assistant.

 

C'mon:rolleyes:

 

I wish that Merle would just have a presser to let the facts be known so that we won't worry about churning the rumor mill anymore.

 

Again, for the record, I wish Merle and the Russell folk all the best!:thumb:

Wow, maybe this thread will make the "classic bluegrass preps" forum with all of it's twists and turns and conspiracy. Not since Robin Givens and her mother have I seen such wicked twirling about. Maybe we should all just pat ole' Merle on the back and say "go get 'em". Instead, we have what this old promoter would call whining and crying over who gets to sit on the bench. Is the admission fee over at Russell so bad that being on the staff is such a money saver? I hope that whomever gets to park their fanny on the pine beside Merle can withstand the flurry of jabs that no doubt will be used in the melee'. I think that Merle may get a pass with the talent that will return, it's the assistants that will take the bullets with this crowd gathered in this thread. Is there really that much angling going on over there? Does it resemble the crowd of young women at a wedding reception awaiting the toss of the boquet? Pick me, Pick me!

:laugh: Mr. King, your post are always entertaing. Another very good post.

I disagree, if one has the right assistant then he would have more respnsibility and it would matter. Good assistant coaches can be a huge benifit to the head coach and are essential to a good program.

I certainly agree with this.

I guess that is why threads like this are about opinions and not final decisions made. Those are the coaches responsibility.

I think this one has run it's course. Again, congratulations to Coach Kidwell, feel free to start a thread on the speculation of the assistant coaches.
