I think they might try to look somewhat out of the system like they did with Jackson. Some other people that might be considered close to the program are Chase Gibson, Mike Copely, and Matt Branham. These guys are all young and have a large knowledge of football.

Chase Gibson is a fine football mind with 3-4 years of assistant coaching at the varsity level.
Matt Branham is also a fine football mind with three years of junior high football experience. It wouldn't be good if he took off in the middle of a game to go hunting either.
Mike Copley has 10-11 years of coaching experience at 4 different schools.
Chase and Matt would be excellent assistant coaches right now but as far as someone being varsity ready you have to look at Copley. His football knowledge probably dwarves Chase and Matt's. No disrespect to either of them because I believe that both should be coaching at Pikeville in some capacity.
