Copley was a defensive coach with Pikeville before he was made head coach. I also heard he played a big role in improving their weightlifting program.

 

That is a big plus. In order to compete in their district and then in the Region against Bell, Rockcastle and Knox they will need to be strong.

Can anybody tell me a reason why Mike Jones would leave Estill for Greenup? Does he have ties here or has he been let go? There has to be a reason to be interested in Greenup. Just wondering. Havn't seen this addressed yet.

Good point and one I haven't heard an answer.

Let go by Estill, no ties.

Let go by Estill, no ties.

I guessing there is a reason for that. Do you have link to newspaper article?

Good luck to Greenup in finding a strong leader that has good moral values. That is what todays youth needs.

Amen, Brother:notworthy:

It's hard for me to see anybody leaving a school to come to GC which has only 3 Seniors coming back with Varisty experience. I know they have a bunch of Juniors but the first year is going to rough.

Yes, Copley was the coach at Pikeville last year and led them to the regional finals before losing to Hazard. He was subseqently let go. I believe he was the 4th coach in 5 years. Something is bad wrong in Pikeville.

Also an assistant at Lawrence County when they were tough under Chuke Williams, ran that Belly series..

Let go by Estill, no ties.

 

Why would a coach that is 23-5 in two years be let go? Is there something more to it?

Things happened outside the program that upset the political landscape.

He appears to be a good catch for Greenup if they offer the job.:dancingpa

Musketeer search

 

Greenup County’s search for a new football coach may be coming to a conclusion.

 

At least two of the candidates — Pikeville’s Mike Copley and Estill County’s Mike Jones — are already head coaches. Copley and Jones are among the finalists for the position, according to sources.

 

The Musketeers have been without a head coach since December when Mike Sammons resigned.

 

There’s no official word yet on when a new coach might be named.

Thanks for the link.

We the fans are ready and waiting to hear the good news of the new coach's arrival. I believe the 2 coaches that it has been narrowed down to are excellent choices and will do a great job for GCHS. I know that we don't have alot of seniors but we will still have lots of talent on the field. And I for one am looking for a FANTASTIC season. So lets get behind the coach and support the boys and PLAY SOME FOOTBALL. (Is it time yet?):banana:

I hear the job is Copley's.
