[Shogun]

If i were Danville I would try to get a Larry French.  Rumor has it Coach French is leaving Middlesboro and moving back that way to be closer to grand kids.  He is a proven coach and familiar with the area.  He won two state championships at Boyle.  He is third over all on the all time wins list for the state.  I am sure he will be coaching somewhere next year - why not Danville.  Just my opinion.

I would be shocked if Larry French went to Danville. French is a good coach, but he's not a program builder, and he doesn't take on "bare cupboard" programs. He could get a slight uptick out of Danville just because of his track record but he's not bringing them back to prominence. Look at his track record, he lands at jobs at just the right time for some success before moving on. When the news broke about him taking the Middlesboro job a few years ago, a local coach said to me "I guess Middlesboro has some good players coming up." He comes into programs that are already on the upswing and keeps them moving in the right direction, but I don't think he'd be the guy to bring Danville back.
