There have been a few false starts over the years about this.    Ballard is probably the best public school job in Jefferson County.

Ballard seems like it has had a little step up on Male for the last give or take decade but I think that is largely Renner's doing. So those are big shoes to fill.

So I'm assuming I'm not the only one hearing substantiated rumors that Chris Renner is getting ready to announce his retirement right? And that it's actually happening this time and not just a rumor?

Promoted from assistant coach. Also was a head coach on the middle school level for several years.

Gotta love the interwebz...

According to the article from the Henderson Gleaner, it looks like Jay and Josh Boston are close friends, and Jay has been looking to direct his career into an administrative position. The opportunity presented itself, and he took it.

“He’s not ready to quit coaching, but he’s ready to explore the administrative avenue," Boston said.

“I’m not going to be a coordinator, but I will be aiding in the game planning and things of that nature on that side of the ball,” said Burgett, who will coach linebackers on defense.

This seems like a perplexing move. Lateral at best in my opinion. Must be a little more money and a little more freedom with the job. Also may have seen a down period with north.

Jay is just a health and phys ed teacher at Madisonville in addition to being coach. Henderson's a bigger school than Madisonville, so the pay for associate HC at Hendo may well be comparable to the HC job at Madisonville. Not sure if he's still going to have a job in the classroom to go along with his associate AD duties, but my assumption is that there's a bump in pay somewhere along the way. Andrews is only in his first year as AD and Boston is going into his 6th year as HC at Henderson, so I wouldn't guess either of them are looking at going anywhere in the immediate.

Jay's wife Katie is a social worker, so maybe there's an additional career opportunity for her that we're not hearing about here. Maybe there's something else family-related. Who knows.

He can transfer to Kentucky and be the next in a long and storied line of shooters who don't ever really play because they don't defend enough...

Seems like a good spot for another of the Chris Wolfe assistants to surface as a head coach.

The Ads have had Wayne, Mason, Allen County, Shelby Valley, Bell, Bardstown, Madison Central, Madison Southern and John Hardin all appear in various iterations of their last couple years' non-district schedules.

Mason had an open date on 10/1 so that might be the game for that date. Madison Central and Bardstown are yet to put out a schedule. And I think Douglass and Bryan Station are the only to FCPS programs with schedules out yet.

Interesting move for Coach Dawson. He's a Trinity graduate, he's been on-staff at Trinity for 5 years, AND he was the offensive coordinator at Trinity. Obviously a good hire for Male, but I've gotta look at this as a little bit of an unexpected lateral move for Dawson, at best. I'd also suspect there's less money in the OC job at a JCPS school than there is at Trinity. Makes me wonder what his reasoning was.

Was he in the mix for the head coach job at T? Possibly a case of hurt feelings?

Congratulations to both players. 

 Let me be the first to ask:  Why does it take 4 months after the championship games to name Mr.Football?

They return their two running backs who combined for over 1000 yards on the ground. Top 3 leaders for receiving yards are back as well. They also return IMO a future d1 defensive lineman/offensive tackle in Saadiq Clements. 6’4 300lbs upcoming Junior Bryce Tapp is also back on the offensive line. They return a good portion off a really solid 7-2 team who got their postseason cut short by covid.

Good info, thanks. I like seeing when the state's talent spreads out further. Sounds like they've got some good things going on at Hendo.

Boudin. Eat the boudin. And if you find deep fried boudin balls anywhere, eat those too.

Is Henderson that good? I feel like they're one of those programs that's like "Oh yeah, remember back when Henderson used to be good?"

Wasn't the coach this last season a buddy hire by B. Bender?

Well they have screenshots of students using racial slurs to harass other students, so I'm going to go ahead and say that the answer to the question posed in the thread title is a very clear "yes".

Mad South has themselves a a racism problem.

So Tilghman fills in the remaining spot on 9/17. Game is at Tilghman.

Should be a very interesting week in Christian Co as interviews start today!

When a certain possible candidate "toured the school with his wife " before Spring Break caused major uproar I felt all way over on this end of the state!

 

Soooooooo, what's the deal with the folks they have interviewed already then?

I'm glad to see you've taken a break from being the guerilla terrorist of the food service industry to drop in and say hi.

Glad you're back, man.

Could you not watch? I can't go when you watch.

I know this is a silly question from me but how can a new private school just starting a football program already have "a lot of experienced & very talented football players"???

Old Kentucky Home football coaching staff, 1966 football season. This was the first year as a head coach for Joe Jaggers, patriarch of the Jaggers football coaching family.

Not much was expected of the the Wildcats that season, but they finished out 7-2-1, including a win over crosstown rival Bardstown.

Jaggers retired in late 1998 as the all-time coaching wins leader in Kentucky High School football, with a career record of 292-105-3, accrued at Old Kentucky Home, Nelson County, Trigg County, Fort Knox, and North Hardin. He was also 5-1 in state championship games.

Marty's dad, I assume?

Was looking around for a thread on here earlier. From the sound of things the AD and new coach have a rocky past, as you can tell from this way-back Card Chronical. Somebody dug it up and posted it on Twitter after they saw the announcement come out from Evangel.

Good to see y'all again BGP!
