[OMG]

Bruce Jones' record while at Powell Co. was 9-17. 2004 he went 4-6, 2005 he went 4-6 and 2007 he went 1-9. Per KHSAA. I don't see how you could declare this successful coaching. Once again, he does take the jobs that no one wants, but that is the problem with a lot of programs, they settle for a coach instead of trying to find a good one. I would rather hire a new coach with unknown possibilites instead a coach with a proven losing record. Those programs that settle will always struggle. I do want to state that I personally don't know Bruce Jones and he may be a great person and coach, but I think sometimes you have to look at their track record and whether or not they are looking to move into a school and community and become part of that school and community and not commute back and forth from his home town. This is a clear sign that he is not committed to the program. How can you get the kids to buy into his program if he cannot buy into the community and live in it.

great post i agree with you...its so hard on a coach to begin with having to move around alot and alot of them dont even have their own kids in that school system and i just think you can tell they are not in it for the long haul when you see that happen, and they should really think on hiring coaches who are willing to put everything completely into it or not hire them..your program will never get better
