He would be a heck of a coach to get...he does a great job with programs that are in shambles or hasn't had success. He would have my vote.

Have you looked at their new district for next year? Competition steps up big time...

 

Sportfan, the district Southern will be in "IS NOT" tougher than Bell, Knox, Rock, and McCreary. Even though it is a 6 team district nothing can compare to running into Bell Co. and Knox Central once a year!

I know a few people on the interview committee from 3 years ago really liked him, so it might be him.

Johnny Poynter has NO interest in the Madison Southern head coaching position. He is working from 6am to 6pm trying to build the program at Bourbon. GO COLONELS!!!!!

Good for Coach Poynter, he was one of the finalist last time and was liked but did not get the job. I have heard that Bourbon Co. has some good kids in the program right now, so if he doesn't apply this time I don't blame him. The main thing Southern is looking for is a coach who can and will help organize the youth league and get football in general in this area on the same page. I hope whoever gets this job understands that there is a lot of work that needs to be done, but that there is some good young talent that is coming up and had a strong freshman class that should win several ballgames in the next few years. I have spoken with the adminstration and I promise you that all this chatter about who has applied and when the job will be filled does not know what they are talking about. I do know that the only people who really know is Mr. Gilliam, Doug Salle the A.D., and Bill Lake who is the booster president. I only know of three people who have applied and that there are a few others, but Mr. Gilliam is not saying much. I hope by mid-January a coach is hired and planning can begin for the 2011 season.

Is youth football divided between Richmond and Berea or is there a combined Madison County program?

Berea has one and Richmond has one. The thing is Madison Southern coaches and Berea Community coaches have both tried to work with the youth league and many of the coaches won't run what either school has asked. The Berea league has coaches quitting mid-year, the President of the league is under investigation for missing money (she kicked out for the same thing in Richmond), I know for a fact that Madison Southern asked the youth league coaches to come in and go over plays and terminology and only 3 showed up, and attempts to work around their schedules was like peeing in the wind. Most of these coaches just wanted to coach their kid and really didn't know anything. I watched several games last year and saw defenses lined up with 10 on the line of scrimmage and and just send kids. That accomplishes nothing. I know Coach Busler worked with three teams two years ago to show and teach them both 40 and 50 fronts (he gave them bases to work with and a few coverages and blitzes, I have copies of both of them), and turned out both of those teams were in the championship with the winner being Tony McCreath's team (former MSHS player who played in college himself). These youth league coaches are a big part of the problem, and that certainly needs fixed. So gchs, to answer your question Berea and Richmond have seperate leagues. I will say McCreath took and All-Star team and beat teams from Richmond, Laurel Co., Corbin, and a few others, so there is at least one good youth coach, but there needs to be more like him.

A P.E.teaching job was posted on the Madison County Board of Education site for Madison Southern on 12/16. Also the site said, the position needed to be filled as soon as possible. If I'm correct this means there will be 4 P.E. teachers at Madison Southern. This is assuming that Buttry, Brumley, and Carter will remain there.

 

So I look for the new coach to be names about mid January. Even though I believe he has already been hired. One last thing. I also know that Coach Poynter is not interested in the job as Tall Trees said.

I heard Brumley is leaving as of January 1, Buttry only teaches Health and drivers ed. Not sure if this is true, but I am hearing David Hensley.

I hear that Scott Russell @ Knox Central has intrest..

Thanks for the correction on Buttry. Did Coach Hensley move out of state for a time?

I don't think so but I'm not sure.

I don't know anything about this, but, it sounds interesting as Coach Russell does have relatives in the Berea/ Rockcastle area and one cousin who attends MS that is a sophomore this year and may play football. He IS quite happy at KC though from what I've heard.

I was sent a message that Brumley will move to Clark-Moores Middle School to be a pe teacher there. So I guess that is where the job opening is coming from at Southern.
