I wonder if he will try to coach baseball as well on Whitakers staff.

I don't know that many successful coaches are able to coach baseball as well.

You are probably right.

I could see an assistant coaching baseball, but not a head coach.

Congrats to the new coach, seem to have done a good job while at LCA and East Jessamine.

So, is this official?

It is now official...Mark Carroll is the new head football coach at Harrison County. He is a young and energetic coach with a bright future. Very knowledgable about the game and will be a coach who can relate to the players, maintain disipline and build his program the right way. I think the folks in Harrison County are lucky to get this guy. He will need to build his staff, get the younger kids excited about playing football, and get to work in the weight room. I'm sure everyone will be supportive of Coach Carroll, win or tie....just kidding about that last part.

 

Rarely does the Harrison County District dismiss a coach for not winning enough. If their coaches do the right thing, work at their job, treat the kids the right way, and still come up short in the wins and losses category, the vast majority of HC fans and administrators recognize when talent is there or if talent is not up to snuff.

 

That being said, football is a bit different than some other sports in the talent category. I think in football you can take kids with average or below average athletic ability and make them into something where the sum of the parts is better than the individual parts themselves, if that makes any sense.

 

That will be Coach Carroll's task...develope the average HC athlete into 11 or 22 youngsters that are will trained and able to work togehter as a solid unit.

Look at Post 178.

Mark is an outstanding young man, well not so young anymore!!!! Most people from the Belfry area can recall the days of when Mark played in high school and it makes some of us feel really old to know that he has finally become a head coach. Some of us had the pleasure of being around Mark in his high school playing days and are PROUD of what he has accomplished. We wish him the best of luck from Pond Creek.

Please start a new thread for the announcement of Coach Carroll as the new coach at Harrison County.
