Interesting.

Ladson was previously let go from coaching the CCHS football team for a similar reason as to why Steve Lovelace is no longer the head coach at CCHS? Just wish I knew the logic behind it.

They should’ve never fired Love if this is the case.

Well once again you are making up opinions as bashing a good person! At least not telling the whole story? 
Yes he was falsely accused & fired few years ago.  That was proven in court to NOT be true as he won his lawsuit against CCPS!  
 

IF those accusations were true , NO WAY who’d he be hired again there. 
You sure Seam to spread a lot of negative gossip at your Elementary school!!

Who is on the list?  Lovely and Weston.  I know those are a couple of assistants that have aspirations of being a head coach.

No idea!  Just hope they cleared this with the Reigin 2 guy 1st!!

I am hearing of a couple interviews comin this week? Maybe they can convince , bribe , coerce or even force somebody to take this job for 1 year!

Selling point:

Hey come take the Colonels job this year!

You can go zero & 10 then be a part of the combining of the teams next year!!

What's not to like about that?

Corey was a great player. He is a fun dude to be around. However he would not be a person I would consider. Plus where does he work? (For that reason alone) He ain't leaving PTHS until the QB graduates.... 

He works for the Boat guy as his sons personal QB coach.

So who is Christian County going to get to Coach their ball team for next year? Do they have any assistants that are looking to get some head coaching experience?  

After giving this job much thought I realize we have the Perfect  candidate right here before our eyes!!! 
Region 2 Guy please take this job & show all the wannabe coaches in the area exactly how it should be done!!

Bless those kids with your mighty football knowledge!!

Instead of just Bashing the Tigers coach Become the Head Colonal & beat him!!!!!!!!!

I heard they were going to set up at Wal Mart And ask People if they wanted to Coach the Colonels!!!!

There should be a search but my point was that I did not believe that Coach Clark would leave for a one year try out.  It just does not add up.  

For some reason that guy just wont accept the fact that a search was already done! the guys they reached to all said NO! 

Clark is the best candidate that actually wanted the job!

If consolidating schools without consolidating campuses is a fair thing to do, then I think Fayette County should announce they've merged all of their high schools into one super high school of like 10K students that holds its classes at 6 different campuses. They'll stomp a mudhole in every team they play in every sport they play.

Except swimming. St. X will still win swimming.

They would still get beat in Finals!

Clark for OC

Lopez for DC

Go get a winner for HC

 

For all those who say “it’s already happened!!!!” I actually have talked to those in the know at both schools.

For starters, the Hopkinsville High School Principal and AD made the hire. Clark was the only applicant that had good HC experience. No one wanted this job without assurances they’d get the big job, as to why you didn’t get a lot of applications. Clark knew his time wasn’t long at McCracken, so he’s taking this job hoping he’ll impress the Board.
 

The Hoptown Principal is not under influence by the board as he was up for the job when the former Christian principal got the job. 
 

The HHS principal and AD have no power to promise the consolidated job. The HHS principal likely won’t be around for the consolidation. Kerry Stovall is district Athletic Director and he probably will lead the actual search for a new football coach.

How I know this? Someone in here mentioned a Louisville coach will be the new coach. I talked to a big time HC in Louisville. He said he was approached 3-4 weeks ago saying the Board was planning on hiring the Consolidated coach to oversee both programs for the 2022 season and then combine in 2023. There were major names being talked to from in state, out of state, and college. A title 9 interpretation stopped them from doing this as they’d have to do this for all sports, male and female. 
 

So as of 3 weeks ago, they were doing an actual search that included big names. That got shelved. Clark shortly after accepted the Hoptown job, as there is still a shot he could get the big job. Clark wanted the big job, but it wasn’t likely he’d get it with the names on that list. But now that he’s in the district, he feels he can prove himself in 1 season.

They were having conversations a few weeks back with names that you’d expect for a job that big, so I doubt they’d just promise Clark the job now and change course. 
 

The new CCHS coach could have the same shot as Clark to coach the consolidated school, or could be the OC. It all depends. 
 

But one fact remains, the HHS people that hired Clark have 0 power to promise him that job and if they claim so then it’s a lie. The HHS job search hired the best man, but there will be a separate search for a consolidated coach. Nothing has been promised.

Not only do you have a personal issue with Coach Clark You & your sources are not getting correct info. Very little truth in this post. 

I looked at Coach Clarks Record over the last 10 years  & this was his1st losing record in 9 years over 2 schools.  The negative attitude MUST be personal!

Don't know for sure but I doubt that 20-40 players left for Paducah Tilghman. More like 6-8 which may have been some potential starters at then and now.

Then you do not know the whole story.

This is definitely not true and please don’t spread false rumors like that. 

Can you help a brother out Mania? 

How exactly do you know which rumors are False and which are True??

What standards do you go by? 

Both of the guys mentioned above (Lopez & Goble) have over 40+ years of coaching experience between them and both are local guys. 

Why would they be false rumors??

FACT  Either of those 2 guys have over double the coaching experience of the Big Time College Guru they hired last time who quit within the 1st year.  

Prediction: Again Either of these 2 guys above have over double the coaching experience of the Coach that does get the job this time.  

If I end up wrong on my prediction I will be stunned & will comeback on here & admit it.  

Those 2 guys would in my opinion be a great combination if they could be talked into taking this job. SOMEBODY will have to be convinced , begged or whatever to actually accept this job!

He's a great Off mind & would great for the Player's Moms!!

Would they be able to lure Coach Adams back to help fix everything???

That would absolutely be the worst decision, Corey single-handedly turned the middle school program from a good program, to an absolute disgrace, Corey has done nothing to earn the McCracken job and I couldn’t imagine a worse person for the job.

Mr R1 you obviously do NOT work 4 the Barge guy!!!

😂😂😂😂😂

They only need a coach the week before the season opener! Don’t get to excited as it is still early!

I guess your right? After all they can go 0 & 10 with out a Coach!!

maybe 1 & 9 with a Coach!  

This job has now been posted.  The job across town has been open 10 weeks now?  Will this job be open 10 weeks before they have a coach to??

I wonder if the Same hiring committee that hired the “Big Time College Guy” last year 4 this job will be the same group that hires the New Coach less than 1 year later? 
For the kids that play football there let’s hope not!  

9 weeks & counting on this job being open?  A littie birdie in Westen Ky told me that a few dominoes should be falling this week?  Should be an interesting week both on here & in Hopkinsville!

The Man for the job!

I heard they are creating the job for Urban Thursday night!!

There has been practically zero comments about this job which is very telling as to the state of this football program.  

This job has been open 8 weeks now 

is this normal for an open job to go un filled this long?  
I’ve heard they made several offers to “Big Fish” who all turned it down.  
Them conducted a few interviews , with little fish I assume. 
So do they simply not have guys who are “qualified for the job” in their opinions?  
Possibly going to reopen the job? 
just seams like an unusually long process to me?

Great point.

This is not about football, because if it was Coach should get an extension.

Someone wanted him out and he’s out.

I will make this statement: In the next six years BC’s record will not be anywhere close to what the last six years have been.

This smells bad….

I know nothing about this situation other than what I’ve read on this thread but I think I know everything I need to know!

a parent with of an upcoming Freshman or Sophomore player:

With $$$$$

With influence 

With admin frindship 

wants the coach to showcase his son as a QB or WR!  Needs to Modernize the Offense in order to showcase his or her son!  
AD / Principle asked or told the Former Head Coach to do this or else!

Former Head Coach said NO! I’m doing what’s best 4 this team & program   Not what showcases this persons kid!

Thus he was fired!  
 

just wait and watch as the reasons unfold! 
 

Old HB signing off!!!

This looks like another great opportunity to bash a Coach that's not around anymore! Coach Clark maybe??

Are things starting to come together in Tiger Town? 

 

By “ Cone Together” if you mean all the “Big Name Guys” they wanted told them NO so now they are talking to the guys that actually want the job , then yes it’s coming together! 

Why did this thread about the open HOPTOWN job turn into a bashing of a Coach that  is nearly 6 years removed?? 

lots of mis information being spewed, namely leaving NO TALENT?

Both the Starting QB & Best all around athlete were Juniors in Clarks last year?  

Its very strange but sure looks  like a PERSONAL: problem with the Former Coach, all of which has nothing to do with the current Tigers search.
