I think JC is paying Matney in excess of 100K. Pikeville can't pay that well. They pay the best in the state for teachers and pay 10 K maybe for coaching, but even that won't get to 100K. But if he is willing to take a pay cut, maybe...

May be time to do a public record request of the salaries in Johnson County. If Matney is making this much, I am sure the booster club or some other agency is supplementing his salary. Regardless of who is supplementing the funds all monies that make up Matney's pay must still be given to the district, who would then take out taxes and retirement and cut him a check.

It would be interesting to see what kind of package they put together for him. Even if Matney is not interested maybe Pikeville could put together a "package" for their future coach. This could attract some big names.
