Real Badman didn't get an interview nicker:





I like this hire. PCC wasn't going to get a proven coach. So why settle for someone who has been coaching for 20 years but hasn't ever won a district or region title?
Every coach has to start somewhere. Im sure the first few years will be big learning years for Amis, but I don't see Perry making a mistake with this one. If anyone, they are pretty much telling people to shove it and you wont know whats coming. And we wont. You cant prepare for a coach that you know nothing about.
The people making comments about the experience and age baffle me. I know you guys know most of the coaches in EKY and lets just say, this isn't exactly a bad hire compared to most mountain coaches. Most people don't get a shot at being a head coach so young, but I say why not? Most of your "proven coaches" that some on here are saying they wanted started being a head coach just as young. Look at what Campbell did for Whitley. Whitleys football program was almost non existent and if im thinking right, I recall the paper stating he started coaching there when he was 24 and he built a program. He didn't win titles and play for regions every year, but he made Whitley relevant setting them up for someone to take over and continue that success.

I say good move by Perry. He may go 0-10 or 10-0, but either way we'll know before the seasons over if it was a good choice or not.

I don't think it is so much about age, but experience. As far as I know, he has no experience coaching, so therefore he needs someone around him who is familiar with the process of being a head coach. Haddix was young when he was hired as Perry Central's head coach, but he had two years of experience as an assistant under Holcomb at Breathitt. This is why I hope PCC can hire an assistant coach to help the young man with the process. I want to see the young man do well, and I think he will, but he needs experience around him to be successful.
