You've got 'em pegged pretty well. I was (in general) speaking in terms of the relatively distant future, except for the current situation involving the HC. After next season, Southside should fall back to the pack some, and the pack should improve a little bit too, including Lexington. Past the next 3 or 4 years, Lexington's talent should be back to where they have traditionally been... maybe not the best in district, but good enough to compete to be among the top few, provided that the coaching is adequate. I too hope that the current coach is given his chance to succeed or fail on his own accord, and hiring a solid assistant would help.

You sound like you are very close to the Lexington Program. I have learned over time that coaches who get a head job for the first time usually are not ready. Sounds like the fan base may have some unrealistic expectations. If they give him 4 years and are still not where they should be then there is a problem. Also, a head coach is as good as the assistant coaches he surrounds himself with. One guy can't do it by himself. Time will tell my friend. I just can't wait to go watch some summer ball.

You are all on the HC. What did he do in 1 year? I looked at the record. He did the same thing that everybody else has done at Lexington over the past few decades with the exception of a few seasons. He finished 3rd in the tournament and lost first region game. Status Quo for the first year. Give him a chance.

You need to work on your reading comprehension skills. What part of myself hoping that he is given the chance to succeed or fail on his own, and thinking that hiring a solid assistant would help the situation causes you to conclude that I'm "all in on the HC"? Make some sense with a reply, please.

Facts are facts whether I agree with them or not, I was asked a question, and was attempting to answer truthfully. For you to stretch that into me hammering on the coach is just you stirring an empty pot... where YOU at?

It's your story tell it like you wish, I'll stick by what I said, and the way I said it... I hope that the coach is given a fair shot, and that he is allowed to choose his assistant. That doesn't change the fact that he's applied for another job (his own admission), or that some strong supporters and alumni hope that he gets the other job. That's where I'm at.

Since I originated the thread and we didn't get back to the girls job openings.

I reached out to some people Close to the program and the word I am getting is that there are a few people not happy with the coach and they have a loud voice. This guy said the people not happy were not happy with playing time of some of the younger guys and not happy with how hard he coached the kids at times. This is always going to be an issue regardless of which program you talk about.

However, the guy I talked to said Coach Runyon told him he is not applied to any other jobs and that he actually bought a house right by the school to be closer to the gym. He said he will finish his coaching career in Lexington regardless of what that looks like.

Now... Can we get back to the thread about girls coaching jobs?

No problem... I just hate to be pigeonholed as a "coach hater" by someone who obviously doesn't know anything about me, and I took offense to it. Everything's quiet for the Lexington job, the only thing said about it was that the assistant coach was not interested. Usually the administration will "target" a few individuals via word of mouth or a third party, but mum is the word if they're fishing for anyone specific.

Mum is the word everywhere. Haven't heard any movement at all on the girls side or the boys side. You gotta think the these schools have got to make a move soon. It is almost May and summer practice starts in less than a month.

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
