This is the most absurd post, which I have had the pleasure of reading. Copley does not have near the credentials of some other individuals mentioned in this thread.

How many "Championships" has Copley won?
How much "Head Coaching" experience does he have?

".......Copley will stand out above the rest."

Please....give me a break!

Just because names have been mentioned doesn't meen they have applied for the job. Who has applied? Please, fill us in on all the names and the credentials of all the applicants since you have all the knowledge about this subject. I think Lou Holtz would be more qualified and have better credentials, but I'm not sure if he has applied.

I do know that Copley has applied. I do know that the kids love him and respond to him, I know he got Asst. Coach of the Year, I know that he's been successful at everything he has been involved with in football, both as a player and coach. I do know that he has provided Pikeville with one of the top defenses in the state every year since he has been there. I know he coached and played on one of the most potent offenses in the history of Ky. football at Lawrence Co.

We can butt heads on this all day, but it doesn't matter what we think. You know I like Copley and think he's the right man for the job. He deserves the chance after all the effort and time he has dedicated to the Pikeville Football Program. Everyone can tell that you don't want Copley to be the next head football coach at Pikeville for whatever reason or motive you have. We will just have to wait and see.

As far as "championships", there's been several great coaches that were never in the right spot at the right time to win a championship.

As far as "head coaching experience", (Haywood, Howard, Hylton) all great high school coaches, were assts. at one time.
