Yes the rumor is floating around the Pike County area but at this point it seems to be just a rumor.

[Braveheart]

I am hearing this as well, but I would be very suprised if he came.

Was'nt he @ Pikeville for a stint?

Wasn't he @ Pikeville for a stint?

 

Yes. For one season...and it didn't end well.

 

I'd be very surprised if this actually happened. With established, traditional powers like Belfry and Pikeville already in place, along with a few other schools in the county, the job doesn't seem that attractive to me. I could be wrong though...

 

Combine that with his previous experience in Pikeville. It just doesn't seem likely to me.

I hear the offer has been made, but Coach Chapman hasn't made a decision yet.

I agree I don't see it either but I could be worng.

I wouldn't be in utter shock or anything...just wouldn't bet on it, considering the two major factors...

 

1. Previous experience as coach of Pikeville

2. Trying to establish a program in a county with so much competition...Belfry and Pikeville are the top dogs and probably get the bulk of the good talent, and the rest is spread over a handful of schools, including Pike Central. It just seems like the odds are stacked against anyone trying to establish a program in Pike County right now.

 

I think Chapman could get a better position eventually...with regards to the possibility of success. I have no idea what Pike Central is offering money-wise...and it may be too much to pass on.

 

Hopefully, he'll stick around for one more year anyway...BC should have a great shot to return to Louisville and possibly win their 4th ring. Having Chapman in place to direct the defense is very important to their chances. They've never won a title without him coaching the defense and there was a noticeable drop on that side of the ball when he left the last time.

How about the fact that Pike Central has a coach!

Offering a job to someone when you already have a coach is total garbage.

[WideZone]

What happened to their Head Coach? Or has anything?

Pike Central does not have a coach at this time, he has stepped down or been let go which ever one you want to call it.

[footballhd]

From what I heard, he resigned.

I heard different.

Is Chapman currently an assistant coach at Breathitt?
