Sounds great, but it seems we've heard this same song and dance before. Finally, ALL administration realize the importance of their support is required for this program to be successful(something that hasn't happened in the past).

Don't feel too sorry for Coach Maynard, he's in a much better situation right now. The names I've been hearing are Coach Dowdy, Tackett and I think people are holding out a prayer for Coach Maynard's return. There's been talk of a coach from Ohio, just don't know who.

If memory serves me correctly, Coach Sammons took Portsmouth West to the championship game in OHIO before taking his dream job at GC. For the record - he's more than a good assistant.

You're on to something, bro:thumb:

Accentuate the positive not minimize

Point taken, but winning is winning.

Your backhanded complement is a strange way of giving the kids credit. The bad/weak trees and the negativity they espouse need to be overcome for the forest to thrive.:fight:

Agree with you on the positive attitude. Administration(Baker) needs to be reminded often during the search of the high expectations.

Greenup shouldn't feel alone, you discredited Boyd Co. as well.

Well said :ylsuper:

I guess you can always dream(McPeek at GC). From my understanding, Sammons was always trying to get the support needed from administration. The lack of support seems to be a recurring problem.

I agree 2 football seasons does not qualify for a head coaching position. I know he started at Boyd Co. under Coach Damron several years ago. The kids don't deserve your comments about equating any success last year with weak competition. They came very close to beating good Mason County and Harrison Co. teams. Any success should have been built on. Believe it or not there is strong player/parent support for him, however, word is he's content in Westwood so don't waste your time and move on to the next lucky guy.

Coach Sammons and Coach McPeek deserve credit for any success at their programs. Point was good assistants are worth something. Hopefully, the administration at GC will support the new coach more than they did Coach Sammons.

I guess your cerebrum doesn't comprehend that ALL head coaches had to start with their first head coaching job. I think the direction Greenup is trying to move in is to commit to being successful!!! The reputation that Greenup has for treating their head coaches is poor and I think luring a high profile candidate is dismal. It may prove hard even getting a quality assistant coach that is already at a good program. People at Greenup who know Preston understand they would be lucky to get him. If memory serves me correct, the only year he was here we made it to the region finals for the first time in 30 years(and that's at Greenup Co.). Coach Preston at GC is purely speculation, who knows if he would even want to come back. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: He isn't from GC.

There are a number of people from inside the program who want Coach Preston(presently QB coach at Fairview). Know for a fact every kid on the team would play hard on every down for him. He's a good coach, experienced, has the personality to work with gc and the players want him there. The question is would he be interested???
