Grizzle did pretty decently as HC at Greenup County. This seems like a somewhat similar situation to what he had in Greenup actually. A team that typically gets a small handful of wins I'm a given regular season and has to contend with kids going to two other more established athletic programs local to their district. Greenup had Ashland and Raceland. Pike Central has Pikeville and Belfry.

I've gotta think Greer had already previously tipped the administration off at Corbin to the fact that he was considering retirement. At least a little bit of a tipoff. Right? In my brain, I can't imagine that he hasn't made enough trips around the sun to be able to realize how over a barrel he's leaving the football program if he's actually pulling a "Oh by the way, I'm retiring. Peace out." almost a week into May. Especially if he's doing that without any kind of succession plan already in place. Right?

Wow. Granted the football team made it to the state finals, but this makes for both the CCH football and basketball teams getting stomped in their final games of the season. Looks like the basketball team was completely unprepared to play in the regional tournament though. To say the least.

Did the parents there run him off over fall break, too? Lol

JCPS guy lined up for Christian Co was Nino White right? Atherton coach?

Casey County wasn't in rebuild mode. Stoney had the program at Casey in a great spot when he left. Anyone worth their salt in coaching will tell you that most all public high school football in programs that aren't in large urban areas are as cyclical as it comes. Casey Co is definitely no exception, and Steve took the Adair job while Casey was peak downcycle. Stonebraker took over a program that hadn't had more than 5 wins a season in the previous 5 years, and he turned it around and then had them winning 10 games in each of his first two seasons there. Facts. Levi has himself a nice situation going down there at Casey Co. If he's wise, he stays there and does NOT go home. Y'all have seen firsthand what going home to Lincoln did to Jaggers. That place is poison for coaching careers. The folks there grind 'em up and spit 'em out. It's no wonder Lincoln Co calls their field Death Valley. They even have the tombstone at their field. Seems to me like the administration should start engraving the names of all the coaches they unceremoniously run off onto that sucker.

Lol, you've definitely got yourself some bad information there. He was not the only guy who interviewed. They interviewed Coach Rogers and Coach Cooper both the last time. And that's all over in the old thread if you look at up. And Cooper was still an assistant last time I checked, so color me shocked to hear that someone who was passed over for a job is outspoken and trash-talking the guy who was hired as head coach instead of him. So we know that some of the info you've obtained is incorrect. I wonder how much of the rest of it is. It definitely makes it qll the easier to see the extent that people are going to around the Lincoln County community to try to push their own agendas with (intentionally?) false information in order to run off coaches.

My group text says yes. "Mutual parting of ways" is the word.

My football group text is lighting up with talk about Atchley officially being the hire.

Does RPI have the opportunity to change things up this year to have BG face Cooper (or Highlands) prior to the finals, or are we looking at a decent chance of seeing that meeting in the 5A finals again?

This one's been open for a month and a half now. They apparently had their hire and then he walked before signing on the dotted line. Any new news? I'm getting crickets when I ask around.

Was always told Coach Koz had a hard time playing well with others, so to speak. Thus the mass exodus from his coaching staff a couple of times over during his tenure. Never heard boo about Adam Kozerski's personality but I'd assume the job is his to turn down since he's the only one who always stuck around with Big Koz, right? Has Adam been an OC/DC at all while he'd been coaching? Nothing at all against Adam but it seems like this program could really benefit from someone entirely new to Holy Cross. Breathe a little new life.

Word here is that Laurel Co Schools have a requirement for how long a job has to be listed before they can make their official hire and that Hines is the hire but they have to wait on their official announcement until after the job has been posted for long enough.

Nail on the head.

Agreed that this can't be the only thing said by coach Hines at the banquet. Was told these were his closing remarks at the banquet. But he also evidently managed to go the entire banquet without making one remark to honor Andrew Dodson, his player and the teammate of all the players present who died in Spring practice. Seems like a particularly bad look when he can deliver a 3 minute lecture about how he and his coaching staff deserve everyone's support or else they're being a cancer and should hit the bricks, yet he can't find the time to mention a fallen player. Saw on FB where the people running middle school program commented on how disgraceful it was that coach Hines didn't honor Andrew Dodson at his banquet, yet they did honor him on the middle school level.

I hope I'm doing this right to get the video to go. This is getting a lot of talk on FB in the Pulaski Co football community. It's from the Maroons football banquet. Good number of folks feel like this was coach Hines taking the opportunity to pat hisself on the back up at the podium and completely ignore all his players. Alot of people mentioned that he completely disregards mention of the Andrew Dodson, the player who died during spring practice this past April. Sounds to me like there's got to be a lot of drama going on for a coach to come out like this and directly address all of the players and their parents right to their faces. Not sure if it's the right time and place though. I guess my first thought is to wonder whether or not this 3 minutes was all that coach Hines spoke during the whole banquet. Then also I guess I wonder if this might actually be something that needs to be said, regardless of whether or not the reception to the statement was very friendly. So what's going on at Pulaski? 408630484_324490833714499_8591506434557599543_n.mp4

10? Lol that number seems pretty high. His name does get tossed around sometimes, but I can't remember him being mentioned for anything since he went to Lincoln a couple of years back. But that seems like a good problem for him to have, having connections in multiple places around the state and continually being mentioned as a good hire.

The second one you said there.

One of my coaching buddies referred told me "he absolutely hit the roof, then came back down and bounced off the floor so he could hit the roof again". LOL

Christian Co's management of the consolidation process has been an absolute trainwreck. They're currently 2yrs behind schedule and approaching 3 if I'm remembering it right. They promised coach Clark the job at the super school when they brought him on at Hoptown and then they had a change of heart. Word around the water cooler is that he's looking at heading back to Jefferson Co. Also heard the dude they're looking to hire at Christian is from Jefferson Co and that he's more than likely gonna be the hire for the super school, assuming Clark heads out.

Am I right that Tilghman has turned over 3 times and CCH has had 3 scoreless redzone drives?

So they have a lot of penalties on the regular? I was watching the game last night and was shaking my head how many times they were flagged. At least 5 flags were for movement before the snap, which is a coaching/discipline issue. No more, no less. On Tilghman's second or third offensive possession they must have gone 30 yards backwards. It would have been more like 45 or 50 yards backwards but the last 3 penalties were only able to back them up half the distance to the goal line.

I finally sat down and watched some film on PT last night and tonight. They definitely have speed at WR, which was why I was honestly kind of surprised to see how many of their passes are swing passes or screens. When I watched last night's game I counted 15 pass receptions by Tilghman. 10 were swing or screen passes, 3 were shallow cross or slant routes and only 2 were deep shots of 15+ yards. There were 3 or 4 more attempts at deep shots where the throw was off the mark plus another couple off-target passes on shallow routes. James is a very solid QB for a junior, but his long balls aren't as on the money as Coach Thompson might hope. If CC has a hard time defending screen passes it could be a long night for them. Game write up mentions beef up front for Tilghman. That's no joke. PT's o-line has to average at least 300lbs a piece. Surprised they don't mix it up and run more behind those fellas.

10 yards in a game? I'm gonna go ahead and assume JC didn't pull their starters. Kinda crazy considering the 41 point shutout.
