[HAIL PIKEVILLE!]

What about Chris McNamee? Would he return to Pikeville?
What about Jason Howell? Would he leave Lexington to come back to Pikeville?
What about Chad Salyer? Does he want the job?
What about John Chapman? Does he want to return to Pikeville?

All of these guys were on staff together at one time (a brief time in 1999).

BTW-- a much better staff than the one they have had for the past three seasons.

The current staff has set Pikeville Football back at least 5 years.... maybe 10! They should not hire someone who is recommended by the coach who just resigned!

PULL TOGETHER TRUE PANTHER FOOTBALL ALUMNS!!! It is OUR program! Let's reclaim what is rightfully OURS!

Lets erradicate the outsiders (Copley, Jackson, and the current staff) and go back to our roots!

I agree with your enthusiasm 100% We alumnists have to pull together in order for this program to move forward. I just dont think we need to be so exclusive and closed minded about looking for outside coaches. We havent had good luck this time around with bringing in an outside coach. But, if the folks that did the hiring in '72 thought like that then Hillard Howard wouldve never gotten hired and that wouldnt have been good at all. To be honest I dont think it was this staff that is the cause of our decline over the last few years. It was the previous staffs absolut negligence of the Little League and JR high programs which I believe everyone on here would agree is the foundation of any good program. I had a guy that coached Little League tell me 7-8 years ago that this was coming. This issue needs to be addressed if we have any shot of being a perrenial state contender again in the future.
