In my opinion the Pikeville High School football job is similar to a Notre Dame football, University of Kentucky basketball, Michigan football position in the state of Kentucky. Pikeville is a once in a lifetime opprotunity to lead one of the best Class A teams to ever play. A person taking this position should prove that they are worthy enough of this honor by building a solid head coaching reputation at other schools. Then when you have proven to reach the calibre of a coach that can continue to build on the solid foundation that was paved before you, then you should get that opprotunity, not because kids like you. The new outside coach would absolutely make the kids work hard because there are other kids waiting for their turn. If by chance they refuse to work hard and produce results, they'll get replaced by someone that is hungrier than you are who sits on the sidelines wishing they were in your position. When they get that chance they won't want to let it go and they'll work even harder. A coach will see that and admire their efforts, pushing the so called "super stars" even further in the dog house leaving them no other choice but to play harder. A new guy comes into town, he knows nothing about what type of players he has. The only way he will find out is how they perform infront of him and no one will want to put off a bad first impression. I think getting the most experienced and proven person is what Pikeville needs, not just someone that the kids enjoy playing for.
