I guess in theory, they could hire a coach first or soon after a coach resigns. Then after the teaching job had been posted for 30 days, they could hire the coach as a teacher. Maybe that makes too much sense.

Coaching jobs don't have to be posted for any length of time. Teaching jobs do, unless superintendent requests a waiver.

It does not matter if some are walkons or not, they still are on the roster. Most schools don't have anybody that could even come close to that level. Also, both UK and UL had former T and X players that played significant minutes for them.

This is based off UKs depth chart (so even if most are walkons, they must be doing pretty well)

UK - 4 X or T players listed as second on the depth chart. 1 listed as first.

As everyone has said in the past. St. X and Trinity usually have mass talent, while the public/independent schools have one or two individual exceptional players supported by a mediocre few. After seeing St. X this past year, I am a bit surprised that they did not put more numbers into the DI level of college football. I'm not saying that St.X doesn't have exceptional athletes because I don't get the chance to see them every week to pass that judgement, but there must be some reason the college scouts are pulling from other schools,who knows. And yes, i have to agree that St.X is very well coached talented or not.

Here were the number of players listed on the roster for University of Kentucky and University of Louisville from X and T in 2009.

Kentucky

X- 3

T- 4

Louisville

X-5

T-4

Looks to me that they are putting a lot of kids on college rosters. If they are putting 4-5 kids on top level D-1 rosters (whether they are walk-ons or not) wonder how many you dont hear about going to D2, D3, and NAIA? The argument just doesnt hold weight that X or T dont put out the prospects like other schools. Crazy talk.

Is the new coach they have chosen a current head coach?

I guess nobody knows or didnt see my post. Once again, does anybody know when an Announcement will be made?

So when will an announcement be made?

Has the coaching search dryed up? No posts in a day or so.

Mark it down. Ray Graham will be the next head coach at Franklin Co, Henry Co, and West Jessamine. At first I thought only 2 schools, but I think he is going to pull off the ole Trifecta and coach all three simultaneously. He will have a chance to become the first coach to win coach of the year in 3 different districts the same year. The only obstacle I see, is West Jessamine and Franklin are in opposing districts, so if they meet in the playoffs, he might have to coach one team one quarter and the other team another quarter, etc.

Just having fun!

Visit

Was this a planned visit on his choice or administration request?

Not sure how you want me to respond to this, I mean he was inside the walls of HC??:idunno:

I didn't know if you meant that he was teaching at the school or visiting.

A little birdy told me he was in the building.

What do you mean he was in the building?

Ray really gets around. Maybe he will get both Henry and West Jessamine. Be the first coach ever to coach 2 schools at the same time!

This is not the forum to post about the last coach. I apologize for making reference to the last coaches situation. This thread is about who they are going to hire. Anybody hearing any names.

Here is what I found on the KDE website:

Q. Do coaching positions have to be posted?

A. No. Coaching positions are extra duties, which are considered additional assignments. Posting of those assignments is not required under KRS 160.380(2). However, coaching assignments must be available to qualified staff before being offered to classified staff or para-professionals. For hiring and employment requirements for coaches (head or assistant), including cheerleading, refer to KHSAA Bylaw 27.

Coaching jobs don't have to be posted for 30 days. Only teaching jobs. I looked it up one time on the KDE website. Will find it if needed.

It's interesting to read the bolded comment by you. I thought South Oldham had a very good football team as recently as 2006 with a winning attitude. Is my memory failing or did things fall apart since 2006?

Here is the year and the record of South per the KHSAA website:

1998: 8-3

1999: 2-8

2000: 6-4

2001: 3-7

2002: 4-6

2003: 5-6 First season for North and the split from South

2004: 5-6

2005: 6-5

2006: 5-6

2007: 3-8

2008: 0-10

2009: 3-8

It went out over the coaches list server as well.

Does that make it official? I am not trying to argue or debate anything, just curious if today is the starting posting date of the 30 days?

After what went on in with the parents and the last coach, I would'nt consider it "winning" the job. Maybe getting "sentenced" to the job might be a better term. :laugh:

The job has been posted.

Where is the job actually posted?

He left PRP after the 2007 season to become a part owner in a restaurant business.

Last i heard, Asst. Coach Chris Mcnamee is getting a serious look, although nothing is definite just yet. Coach Mac excelled in 1987 when we won our 1st class A state championship by being named 1st team allstate on both defense & offense. Just hope he is as successful in the coaching world as he was a player. Will be glad to let you know anything that may develope.

Mcnamee has already been the head coach at Pikeville and won a lot of games. Never could get past Beechwood. He got ran out of town to Pike Central and did a decent job there. So it looks like he has already been successful in the world.

I would be surprised if they get an established head coach with previous success. Just my opinion though.

Any news on the open job at South Oldham? Anybody hearing any candidates or anything?

I still can't believe it hasnt been posted. Unless, they are hiring from within, which would make since. Otherwise, like ol #70 said, the team will suffer if they dont have spring ball and allow transition time for the new coach.
