State Department has nothing to do with hiring coaches. Perry Co Schools sets their own budget with the money they get from the state. If they can fit a big name coach in the budget they can hire him.

Normally I would agree with this, but PCC is in a new situation this year. The state has taken over the running of the school due to the repeated low test scores and the ACT fraud situation recently. Again, normally I would agree but I don't know what gets done different when the state department has taken over. Guess we'll see soon as they'll be moving on this as fast as possible.
