OldEagleEye Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 0% chance she leaves. Franklin Co was bad this year and they lose 6 seniors. We get back our core and add a couple. I think we will be in the mix for a district title next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any names being thrown around in Winchester. The rumors that I have heard of are Mike Holt, the boys assistant, or the lady that is coaching the girls team at Dechard Elementary. Again, just rumors who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodorefan Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 Holt maybe, but I doubt they would hire an Elementary School Coach for this position but you never know.. I still would not be surprised if Coach Southerns name is in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a smart move on her part especially since I believe she was kind of screwed over with the softball spot at FC before, that's why Holt has it right now.

maconboy Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Whoever takes it will be behind the 8-ball. Best kid in the county left Frankiln County for Huntland last year. Program has had players quit each year and will be a long hard fix. I see them no better than 5th next year, they lost district games by 40 points last year and they lose 6 seniors, sad to see how bad it has become.

PEARLBALL Posted March 22, 2019 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I don’t mean to kick a coach when they are down, but FC has gotten progressively worse the past 3-4 years. This year looked like the girls flat out quit on him. Can’t see Southern or any other coach who has any kind of team returning making the jump to FC. Holt is probably their best option. Based on his Motlow days, his demeanor probably suits the girls too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree FC has gotten progressively worse, we have had some good games and some bad and had problems scoring, but we have had a winning record for the girls and been to regionals every year. Until FC stops hiring coaches based on who they are and who their friends are, they will continue to go down the ranks in every sport. FC atheltic department and director of schools only care about giving their friends jobs. Coach Holt's demeanor is to constantly tell the kids in very colorful language how terrible they are and how good he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL@best kid in the county - I prefer to have kids on a team that are coachable and not kids whose Mom and Dad tell them they are too good for these high school coaches. Those "best kids" are welcome to leave. Edited March 25, 2019 by FCmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think Coach Holt would be a good hire for the program as you have stated they will be a top four team in district and have gone to region every year. I am still confused on Coach Helton being fired for taking a team to region? Am I missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have played for him and have had some of my children play for him and he is not a good coach. Coach Holt is a big buddy of Don Rhoton who is the athletic director of FCHS. Chris Guess is the father of a senior, works for the Sheriff's dept and a big buddy of our AD. Neither Coach Holt nor Guess like the Heltons (Holt out of jealousy and Guess because his daughter didn't get as much playing time and starts as he wanted). This is why the Heltons were fired - the AD wanted to fire him last year and talked about it but he had a 22 win season and couldn't justify the firing. This year they only won 14 games ( I think, may have bee 13) and so now he feels he can justify the firing. You didn't miss anything, its just the same ole politcs that has haunted FCHS for years. Its all about who your buddies are, they could care less about building programs good for the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
