The problem with Pikeville football is that there is no one in the school system that knows what it takes or how to put a championship football program on the field. When they do hire a coach he is only put in place to do what they want done and the way they think how a program should be run. Bottom line is: they are not willing to hire someone that knows what they are doing and turn the program over to them. Also most important, they are not willing to support the man when difficult decisions have to be made (not always the most popular with parents or special interest groups) are to be made that make or brake a program are to be made.

Hillard Howard is the reason Pikeville once had a football program. Hillard knew what it took to win at Pikeville. If Pikeville wants a winning program back at Pikeville they should bring him back or ask him who is the best man out there for the job.
