I’ve heard noise about Prestonsburg going after a new head coach. My personal opinion I believe the job openings this off season will be coaches wanting to leave verse being fired. I think this is a freebie for coaches on the hot seat because of everything that went on with Covid.

Noise is likely coming from those who aren’t looking at things correctly either or they’re out of touch.

Hard to win and compete considering the hit Prestonsburg football took before Brewer was ever hired. Basically an entire football team transferred out and is now more than likely the favorite to win state this season in class A. No fault to those families that moved their kids, they done what they thought was best and it’s been paying off.

Prestonsburg lost support from life long Blackcat supporters that now have fully backed another school and town. Some have moved there and even started businesses there as well.

Folks need to be patient.

Why do you continually refer to players that left at the halfway point of 8th grade?? LOL ...These players NEVER had intentions of playing at Prestonsburg. The parents went where a championship was more obtainable. 
Brewer came in after the Blackcats won the district, along with the 2A player of the year (Varney), along with several seasoned seniors...the ingredients were there... Varney rarely got to touch the ball. I think the biggest issue with Burg has been the lack of support from the Shags and Bags that blew Brewer up and then disappeared, along with his staff. You can ask any parent and several opposing coaches that know BB personally and they will all agree that he is a good guy, just lacks the work ethics that it is gonna take to build them back up. You can't practice for 1.5 hours 3 days a week and expect to win. Personally, I think the current admin wants to keep him, but the townies want a change. Adjust your coaching to your talent, not your talent to your coaching. This, is where he failed.  

A lot of that I can’t speak to, because I don’t know. I haven’t been close to the football program in 11 years. However, the moment a lot of the 8th grade team left, it was obviously going to hurt Prestonsburg football going forward. I don’t care who the coach was. I don’t blame anything on any of those families. Like I said previously, they did what they thought was best for their kids. Parents should move their kids to wherever they’ll get the best chance to succeed academically and athletically. I wholeheartedly believe in that.

Also, I haven’t kept referring to that. Must have me mistaken with someone else.
