Mike was coach for a while and Scott coached with him.  Then Scott took over.  Mike was an assistant coach for Dixie the last few years.  

Scott Code would do an amazing job.  He is in the building and has tons of experience.

Unless there is a special deal made, I'd say most head coaches in our area make about $5-$10,000.  Most of this information is probably public on their websites if you search.  Nowadays, you have the off-season, spring football, summer, the season and a society that knows everything.  The majority of your NKY head coaches are probably teaching a full schedule as well.  It's a difficult job with very little pay.

Coach Trosper has been at Conner since 2007, I think.

Not sure about Borchers.

Need 7 men on the line of scrimmage.  That checks out.    Here is the play on youtube.  They shift prior to running the play.  The guys who were originally on and off the line of scrimmage are the same before and after the shift.  Good play call.  Blown call.  

If I was the principal, I'd be having a conversation with the coach immediately.  I don't disagree with his message but this was not the time or place.   The team and especially the seniors deserved better, especially on a night reserved for celebration of the season and career of the seniors.   With that said, I would not mind if he brought this topic up in a summer meeting with parents as long as it was just a small part of the agenda.  

Lloyd suffered losses to Brossart, Holy Cross and Newport in 2020/2021. This year's schedule was made back then.  There was no reason to  schedule up two years ago.  They did drop Grant and picked up New Cath. Boone, Scott, Holmes and NCC should have been good games for them. Now that they have improved, they have decisions to make.  

Holding is seldomly called.  

Dude should have stuck it out one season.

Here is LaSalle (OH) football schedule.  Trinity was considered D1 (1400 boys) and Dupont Manual was D2 (950 boys).  One would think this would be easy to do.

Great season.  This team seems like they have great chemistry and character.  

I question some playcalling.  How do you slow down a pass rush?  Not one quick WR screen or RB screen called the entire game (unless I was in the bathroom).  Defense played extremely well. Run defense was fantastic.  Zac seemed to be pass-happy the whole game.

Great hire.

Coach has won alot of football games!  Congrats on a great career.

Yes.

Nick Rice is a principle in the Boone District.  He would be a solid choice.  I hardly doubt he would take the pay cut.  

Derek Bosse would be the ideal choice but I have heard he is not interested.

So he doesn't go to games?

Sadly more often than not it has nothing to do with the kids. It’s administration and parents that make coaching much harder than it should be. 

True.  Most coaches and administrators are usually two different personality types.   On one hand, administrators want a coach to come in, take the job, be a disciplinarian, transform boys into men, be father figures, be counselors, win football games, etc. and on the other hand, fail to support the coach while he does those things.  

26 coaches have resigned as of today.  Over 10% of KY's football coaches have resigned.  This is not a good trend for the high school football in KY.

WOW! 

GC's basketball team has been just as successful at the football program.  If Cronin made that money, then the basketball coach ought to be in the top 10, too.  I would argue he makes about $100,000 to $150,000.

Serious question here, and expounds on something someone said previously.  How many coaches with experience really want this job?  There is minimal chance if any to win a state title and honestly recent history aside this program has struggled.  With that said should attention be placed on younger coach with less experience?  Just some random thoughts.

This is a GREAT job.  Independence is one of the largest communities in NKY.  SK has indoor and outdoor facilities, average roster size of 75-90 kids, frosh roster of 30-50 kids, and a good booster organization.  I think this program has done extremely well over the last 10-15 years.  According to your logic, a job is not good unless it is Trinity or X.  SK may not ever win a state championship but that does not make it a bad job.  I'd expect some very qualified coaches to apply.  Good luck to SK. 

65 yard Dixie run td called back while up 6 to 0.

Marksberry did a fantastic job at SK.  If leaving, it is on his terms.  Took SK from a BAD program to a very good one.

It's a lack of talent.  

I am not disagreeing with anyone.  I am all for the paying a higher salary for the best candidate.  I just don't know how you justify this with the local tax payers.  I would argue a band director works with more kids than anyone.  What are they getting paid?

Coaches are underpaid and have way more influence over a school or community.  Most administrators would not want to admit that. 

How do you justify this?  All head coaches of boys and girls sports are working 52 weeks a year for their programs.  The big three sports should be pretty equal IMO.  So HHS is going to pay the running back coach or defensive line coach more than the head baseball coach?

Head Football Coach:  $16,000

Kids (athletes) need to be in school.  In Louisville alone, there over 500 students unaccounted for in the Jefferson county school district.  This means that over 500 kids have not attended school one day in person or online. This has had a tremendous impact.on our young people, way more than covid itself.
