Salmons went 0-11 his 1st year facing some good teams, the next year he goes 11-1 faceing some bad teams. Salmons was 21-15 at lc which was a 4a school at the time. He had 2 wins against paintsville 1a, 2 against east ridge 3a, 2 against shelby valley 2a, 2 against east carter, 2 against greenup, 2 against rowan county, 2 against boyd county. That is 14 of his 21 wins right their. Salmons played these teams to improve his record the team did not get better under salmons the program did not get better under salmons. Cecil was 18 - 18 his first 3 years with 6 of those losses to belfry. He has played better teams, he is comitted to lc. Lc was just a stepping stone for salmons he never intended to stay at lc. He used the school, the program, and the kids for his own gain.

"Nope" the team and program didn't get better with Salmons. All he did was get the excitement for football back up and get more kid's want to play. The roster of all teams was growing from grade school on up. As to say that he was hiding behind bad teams to get wins is like(Boyd, Rowan, East Carter, ) sound familiar? Coach Salmons was the one who inherited a bad program, hell you even said we went 0-11 his 1st year and a good program don't go 0-11. He had it going in the right direction and we beat some pretty good teams under coach Salmons in the playoffs that you conveniently don't want to talk about. You go and talk about Cecil playing Belfry like he wanted to play Belfry lol. The only reason we play belfry is because they are in our district and we have no choice. We have a lot of good teams in this area who struggle to fill a schedule like Johnson Central yet we are playing Boyd, Rowan and East Carter.Coach Salmons was a good coach and he put together a good staff and I have eyes to see with and the fundamentals and football knowledge of his teams were light years above what we have now. Go back and look at every game played under Coach Salmons and tell me what the weak link of every team he had and every game he coached was..............."defense"! Now who was the defensive coordinator at that time? I don't think we will ever know where coach Salmons could have taken this program but the man was never from Lawrence County or even Kentucky for that matter. He took a job in his home state (and a better job at that) and you want to put him down for it lol. I guess he took Cabell Midland all they way to a state championship game by running the program in the ground and hiding behind weak competition lol!
