I was just informed that Danville Head Coach Matthew Yates resigned last night. I was also told that former Boyle County Ronnie Bottoms is unofficially at the top of the list. Can anyone confirm or deny?

PP, what happened to Yates?

I heard he resigned and was moving to Frankfort to be near his wife or something to that effect. I am thinking he may put in for the Frankfort job if that is the case.

Oh ok, that's cool.

Here's a link from today's Danville paper:

I just talked with Coach Yates last week.I knew he was selling his house but I had no ideal he was moving out of town.He even talked to me about helping him do some filming this season.:idunno:

Good luck to Coach Yates at Frankfort.He was always cool with me!:thumb:

Do you think Bottoms wants to coach again, and are there any other candidates?

I don't know what Yates' teaching status was, but I would think it might be hard to hire a teacher/coach at this time. They might have to go with a paraprofessional like Ronnie Bottoms.

He teaches P.E

I believe Yates taught P.E. also.......

Would Derek Springate be interested in this position?

Has school started at Danville yet?

Today was the first day.

He is in the area.......

Coach Bottoms has his own business and does not teach so that would be convenient for Danville. Coach Springate does teach PE and could fill that spot for Yates.
