Smith has taken care of Smith. Boyle County fans are happy. It just happened the way it happened and it is a shame that Smith did it to Madison Central. What he did wasn't exactly right. With the hiring process just happening, I guess they can justify the quick hire at Central. Scenters is a good solid young coach and I think he will do fine by Madison Central. Madison Central was fortunate that Mark was in the wings wanting the job still. Hopefully the administration will stand behind him in Richmond. Smith will probably do well at Boyle in 3A. It all worked out for everyone...... Except at Garrard County who is the odd team out and coachless late in the off season.

Here's a thought:

My guess is Scenters applied for Madison Central the FIRST time (when Smith was hired). When Smith left, MCHS asked Scenters if he was still interested. Obviously, he was ... because that was one of the fastest replacement hires I've ever seen.

So for those who say Smith didn't want to be at Madison Central because a better job -- for him -- was now available at Boyle (remember when Smith took the MCHS job, Boyle was NOT YET open), can't the same be said for Scenters NOT WANTING to stay at Garrard (because MCHS was open ... again)?

Food for thought.

I don't blame Smith for going back to Boyle anymore than Petrino should be blamed for leaving WKU. Petrino loved in Louisville. Smith loved in Boyle. Both men are comfortable there.

And it's not like either left their programs high and dry. Never coached a 2014 game. Never even had a spring 2014 practice.

Both schools QUICKLY moved on. Brohm hired at WKU less than a week after Petrino left. Scenters was hired, what, less than 24 hours after Smith left?

Why would Petrino settle for WKU when Louisville is out there?
Why would Smith settle for Madison Central when Boyle is out there?

Not as bad a situation as people are making it out to be.
