I think the job if not coach Morris will be Hatchell's. hatchell being an afterthought would be wishful thinking for those in the camp of coach dew. Hatchell has one word....LONGEVITY! Coach dew is in his twilight.....how long til he can retire? Hatchell has 20 years maybe 25 left in him!

If the change happens..... I ask one questions......what is the average length of a head coach's tenure at mayfield??? With question in mind....you look at Dew and Hatchell for the in house hire...one candidate is wishful thinking and his friends on this thread should be thanked for their loyalty. The other candidate clearly has the shelf life to be the next head coach for a Long Long time. Another thing to consider....how many coaches on Mayfields staff has head coaching experience??? There are a few floating around, however if they all choose to throw their hats in the ring, that would fracture the staff and could doom the empire. SO it is my hunch..... that if there is a coaching change.... that decision has been made...and others will not be interviewed or even allowed to apply.

99.9% of Head Coaches at Every level (Mainly High School and Up) are hired to be fired.

I like the Trojans by 14. I think the Blue & White have found their stride. Will be a great game anyway it goes!!!

Dang Gum! How did I know that The Flea Market would be the one to start this thread??? Broseph do you not have anything better to do? Sadly we live in a world where loyalty, hard work, and character are gutted yearly in the name of Wins and things that dont really matter. Many coaches would never get in trouble or be on a "hot seat" were it not for these forums. Sports Casters, Sports Talk Radio cause many of these HOT SEATS in order to get ratings and get paid. My Point is, that someone maybe doing a great job considering their circumstances and boom a thread like this starts, and some crap for brains board member, assistant principal, or athletic director looking to make a name for themselves gets the idea that maybe their coach isnt doing what they should. This leads for the aforementioned idiot (looking to stroke their own ego) to bring down heat, pressure, and potential family problems on a man who is hired to teach school first and coach football second. I am sure these threads are fun, but all they do is cause pain and stir the pot.....and I aint talking about a cooking pot. I am talking about a squatting pot.....and it is my belief that whoever stirs the pot should lick the spoon. However in the day of anonymity and keyboard experts.....those individuals dont get to be held accountable for the garbage they bring down on others. (I have had my darker days and fed into this and was very vocal about a coach I didnt care for, and in hindsight, I would been a much better man for keeping my opinions to myself.)

Man the Danville Hate is high on this thread. seems to me a few Peach Haters were on here implying it was Danville that canceled on Boyle but low and behold Danville pops up with a game..... Seems to me that the value of many of the postings on this board are shall we say.....low rent????

This issue sounds to me that one word will sum it up. Loyalty. Those of us from the CU coaching factory know that Loyalty is by far the most important thing for any Head Coach to ask for and for any head coach to give. Talent, Resume, Relationships with Kids, Parents, Community, Admin means nothing if you cant be loyal to the coach, the program, and the values being taught. A disloyal assistant coach will ruin a teams culture, cause crazy strife and must be dealt with quickly.

Where was Coach Bowling the past season? and why did he choose murray at such a late date in the off season? Whats the backstory for his departure? Being such an accomplished coach with multiple state championships and in multiple states.........was he on the shelf and available? Sure seems to have bounced around a good deal or am I missing something?

Coaching possibles in West Ky Evan Merrick ? Gregory Wonder if a MSU has a coach on staff that may make the plunge? Anyone in the Calloway County System available??? I am sure Josh Jaggers will apply for this one right????

The 95 team is in the schools Athletic Hall of Fame. The Senior and Junior class that year produced several young men who played at the next level. The marshals success in those years was all about a physical ball control offense and defense. Many people hated watching the Wishbone and the old 52 monster but with big physical kids who were hard nosed and tough, that style of play kept the marshals competitive. Seems

Well Steve Lovelace....aka head is headed to be the DC at Paducah T. whats the word on the street in cadiz, since Christian County made their hire...who is left sniffing around the wild cats? Will the Madisonville job opening up impact the hiring here??

Wow some hostility in this thread!!! maybe the colonel crew should realize where they are and that a talented offensive mind who will push character, hard work, and player development. His roots will serve the community well. I wish coach Gehres well!!!!

What about Steve Lovelace??? maybe he stepped down a bit early at County? This could be a chance for him to get back on the sidelines??? Or could he be heading to Hoptown to patrol the sidelines with Clayton to take the reins when he retires??? Only time or the great prognosticators of BluegrassPreps will know!!! Josh Jaggers aint going nowhere.......Joe is having health problems and I am not sure where Marty is.......Is Marty Jaggers still the AD at trigg????

Joe Washington was head coach at North Hardin for years as well as with Joe Jaggers at Ft knox for many seasons.

Does Jumpin Joe Washington still have ties to Evangel? I know in the past he had been extremely involved in the church and maybe even coached basketball. HE could be a great inspiration to start the program back up

How would a move to Highlands be achievable? Isnt Coach Wolfe heavily invested in a few businesses and business opportunities in the louisivllle area. I know you guys speculate all kinds of stuff to keep things exciting and to have something to talk about, but.....realistically, how could a guy leave Hundreds of thousands of dollars in business ventures for a coaching and teaching position and a coaching stipend?

I played at MC from 1993 - 96 and later returned to coach there when I started my career in education. I was blessed to be apart of some great success at Marshall county as a player. I know the term "entitled" does seem cliche but I am speaking from multiple experiences. One thing that most people do not know about Marshall county is that most people there are pretty well off. There is quite a bit of money and pretty good to great jobs in the area. Many of the folks who are born there never leave. They are MC for life. You know that a hungry dog hunts best, and well lets say the dogs there have it pretty good and just aren't too hungry. The last thing I will say in regards of this is that many of the young men who are playing now are the kiddos of the guys I played with in the 90's and watched in the late 80's. Those fella's me included have been called entitled, and we know that apples don't fall far from the tree or get out of the orchard. I hope the new coach is able to handle all the challenges that he has signed up for! He will need some folks he can trust and will help him lay down the law in his program! We will see how serious the administration is here at Marshall county by how many new coaches they let the new guy bring into the building to bolster the program.

Marshall County is a tough situation. The parents make it difficult. It will be interesting in seeing how the new coach will handled entitled parents and players. The last coach there to have great success was Mike Lawson, before him, the late Jim Shelton....you know what both of those fellas had in common? They kept the parents at bay and taught tough hard hitting football.

It sure seems like it is taking a long time if the Panthers were going to hire in house. Any word on this position? I have heard there maybe interest from a local coach of the year just up the road. Any truth to that? I have also heard that the in house candidate may not be too popular of a choice with some program stakeholders. What is the scoop???

Another city school with a high turnover rate. What would make this job desirable?

Hard to get consistency with a revolving door? What do folks keep leaving? Is it administration? Players? Lack of talent? What are the challenges of this job?

Anyone hearing any names for this job? Is it posted on the District's website? Is it on the KHSAA? I found it odd the AD was quoted in the paper talking about procedures for hiring in house. any E-town folks have any insight on this?

North found a way to win in itself, That is what matters. As the season progresses it will be interesting to see how the Trojans handle the increasing pressure of rankings and staying undefeated. The same can be said for Central. Another team off to a great start is Meade. All 3 of these teams have one another in the crosshairs. It is not the most talented team or the best tactician of a coach that wins this district its the team that is kost disciplined, executes the best, and stays healthiest. Good luck to all and Go trojans

HAHAHAHA you guys kill me. 28% winning percentage and I am the idiot. I also love how I just stated the facts and recounted events. did I hit close to home for some of you? Judging by your facebook posts I know I have!! Also classy move calling out a kid who was at every practice, ran scout team, played his roll and never complained as entitled and lazy!! Great move coach......oh yeah he deserved that cause his dad is an outspoken jerk right???? I just ask you, to defend your position? or are you not mature enough to put together an argument rather than name calling? I guess when youre a part of what led to the 28% success rate my opinion as a fan, parent, and former coach may irritate you. Have a great night!

Here are some Stats on NH and Coach Thompson according to KHSAA. Now that our season is over, I can post freely my opinion without retribution. The last time I posted about NH my sons playing time was cut from little to nearly none and an assistant coach gave me a public tongue lashing rant at the top of his lungs after the PRP game where I was called everything under the son, manhood challenged, integrity and character questioned, and much more. The Stats..... Career Record 19-47 Winning % is 19 Wins / 66 Games Played 28.8% Offense 22.3 points a game Defense 32.68 Points a game 2.7 victories a season over 7 seasons Without going into a lot of drama like an assistant coach on the sideline running onto the field last night and, getting into the face of an official, and having a verbal profanity laden tirade followed up with a desire to fight the said official, we will let the record and performance of the program under Coach Thompson's care speak for itself. I will say this in closing.....if this is the tradition of excellence the Alumni, administration, and members of the North Hardin Community find acceptable, it truly is a sad day in Radcliff.
