It doesn't matter if the kids like the coach. That obviously has no bearing on the decision. I don't know a single kid that played under Coach McNamee that wanted him to leave or didn't respect him. Like-ability doesn't determine who the coach will be. But it was the administrations feeling that Pikeville needed a new direction that led to him going back to Pike Central.

I believe that even more so than they did at that period of time, they want this program to go in a different direction again.

I totally agree. Just because players like a certain coach it does not mean that they would not like another coach. For example what if Petrino (sounds funny but its time for him to change jobs again lol) wanted to coach at Pikeville. And we ask the players if they liked Petrino. Maybe they would all say they want to play for Petrino.
