Per Twitter this one is official. Ethan Atchley is the new Head Coach at FHS.

Exciting times for Frankfort. New Coach will get to reboot a program that has a proud history dating 150 years.

I have been told Frankfort is hosting a meet the New Coach at Sower Football Field on Thursday.

No Sir, just continuing the capital city clown caravan banter we have going here. You guys do that enough to yourself on that east side.

You guys are also lucky to have any coaches that you have out there. Your head coach doesn't even want to be there. I hear the only thing that scared him from Highlands was the Cannons still ringing from those old games in 04-05.

You guys hired a guy at one point who was the head coach at WC and he lost to a guy who was coaching FC that only won one game and that was beating the WC coach lol! Didn't know you guys hired Saban on the hill recently?

Per KHSAA 5-6 3-7 5-5

Frankfort has about 150 boys in the school that has about 300 kids. Resources at Frankfort are limited. From what I hear Foley wasn’t perfect. But the man left as the schools All time winningest coach 12 district titles, 2 regional titles, 2 Semi-final appearances. Won 68% of the games he coached. In between Raymond Webb and Foley they had 3 head coaches and Zero winning seasons. I would say many High School Coaches would like that run.

I trust that Athletic Director, Principal, and the Superintendent all did their homework. I also know plenty of parents that have kids that played for the man and they all speak highly of him.

If true Home Run Hire for Frankfort.

Round two of Interviews happened last week. Are we close to an announcement?

People get caught up on resumes. I look at Competencies. Don’t have to be a head coach to have the competency of a head coach.

This is a very good job but like many does have challenges. But as someone mentioned has to be the right person, because not everyone can coach at Frankfort. I am sure there are some other places across the state that are the same. Meaning just a unique job in its own way.

I have talked with someone very close to Coach Foley and was on staff. Based on what They say the series ended not because of sour grapes or because of winning/losing games. The series had become to bitter between certain adults. As for contracts they have a buy out clause. I can only assume Franklin asked for the money.

With the right hire the Frankfort - Franklin County series could restart. But first The new coach would have some rebuilding to do. As for the current search for a new coach there are some quality coaches that have surfaced. The pool actually has just gotten interesting. This info is from 2 people that have told me they applied. They also have been called for interviews.

Looks like this one is still wide open…..

Has been confirmed Marcus Harris new HC at Shelby.

If rumor is true… an offer has been made and an SBDM meeting is set to take place this evening to confirm the next head coach.

This is disappointing that the committee does not see this position as an elite opportunity. It appears that letting an applicant put you on the back burner for another program means you don’t have enough belief in your program or hold it at the same regard! IMO, FHS has a better opportunity to contend for a title than SC in a stacked 4A class and competitive district!

Actually it doesn’t. I have been told job has been offered but the person they offered to put them on hold waiting to see if the get there Shelby Co job.

Nothing stays quiet around that town.

Interviews took place. But yet no word from Frankfort. Starting to wonder what is going on… I have asked few people close to their program and they becoming disappointed.

There are two sides to every story and not all video shows full story either. I am not defending the actions of the Coach. But everyone makes mistakes when dealing with teenagers. Someone sending a video to the BOE has a personal vendetta against the coach. Appears to want to ruin a young man. I wish the best for All parties involved.
