From an outsider looking in....


Letcher Central's expectations and the program's sense of self does not come close to matching what it's true identity is.

I think LCC can be a successful program, but they have got to learn patience... clear away the politics and people who want to run things.. and simply be supportive. Until LCC can trust a coach and his process and give 100% support from the administration, boosters, and community they will continue to flounder.

IMHO Holcomb is the man for the job and when they hired him it was a home run... now they need to do everything in their power to keep him. If they can achieve that..then it is time to let him do his thing and be worker bees.

They were on the right track with Hillard Howard, as soon as he retired is when it went bad. Three coaches in four years is a recipe for failure, that combined with LCC never having a feeder system it's hard to be good year in and year out. All you can do is just sit back and pray you get one of those years that a good class with a few great athletes were born in the same year come by.

I don't know if they have a feeder in place now, I've not keeped up with it, but I know if people will just listen to Holcomb and give him time he knows how to get a job done.
