No disrespect intended and I hate to bust your bubble but there are many coaches that do those basic things everyday. You would have to ask what level of competition his teams are actually defeating? What would you say his signatue win has been to this point? Also, was that 1-10 team his or the guy he took over for? Good luck to coach in his pursuit of the job if he wants it.

What has Don Miller ever done as a head coach? No disrespect intended. But, to put his name along with Perry's or Jaggers is not fitting (just sayin').

If memory serves me correct, Preston was an assistant at Danville several years back, when they won a few state titles... I think Jaggers was on the same staff maybe? He would be a good for Mercer imo.

Where is he now? Any chance he would return?

I heard that former Bullitt East Coach Doug Preston is a possibility? Took them to the state championship and I believe had Western rolling as well. A very good inside source from Mercer told me this today.

Check out Heffington's background. He is a piece of work. He coached basketball and was terrible. He has been run off from several places. His ego is the size of a mountain. He was probably jealous of Tony's success.

He will give them his answer on Monday is what i am hearing.

The job has already been offered to someone. That's a fact.

That kind of makes more sense to me. Thanks for your info. So did Poynter get the Dunbar job offered to him?

I believe the talk back then was he was aske. Maybe Knute Rockne might know. What about it?

So is he not teaching at Bourbon the rest of the year? That's not what I heard. Maybe I got it wrong.

On a more serious note. Are you saying he was interviewed or offered a job?

A tour like on Gilligan's Island...three hour tour. I couldn't resist.

I have no dog in this fight. I am just curious on some things like others on here. But I was told by a good source that this firing has nothing to do with football. Just what I was told.

Who saw him? When? What is a walk through?

The whole thing here is just a sad testiment to how poorly the state of Kentucky (school admins.) in general treat football and especially their coaches. This is fairly typical in rural states imo. Go south of the state line and you see just how different football is viewed; especially coaches.

I completey understand.:thumb:

The position is not posted so no one has turned it down or even been able to apply for that matter.

Buchanan is from Mercer county.

It could be a decent situation except they will be going back up to 4A in a couple of years. In the district with Highlands, Cov. Cath etc. I don't think Mason or Frankfort have to face those kinds of situations in their district and region.

Just curious if anyone knows Pointers record at Bourbon and Trimble? How did he do in the playoffs?

Very reliable source tells me they interviewed 5. They had 6 scheduled and one strong candidate that was scheduled to interview on Thurs. took his name out on Wed. ?

Does anyone know what the school is willing to do to attract an experienced successful coach? If anything? Sometimes a light teaching schedule is a strong selling point. Let's face it. If the coach has to build up the program he will need time focus on football duties as much as possible. Any thoughts? BTW I have been hearing they have a very strong candidate from outside the area. I don't know names for sure. I am curious if they have tried to attract this person to look into the position and if so how?

Very good point. And very true.

How could someone be a grad assistant if they haven't graduated? Is that possible?
