Coal grove coach Evan took boyd county head coaching job

[Bullmoose75]

Evan Ferguson just got done Addressing the football players and in quotes "Its the best job for me moving foward" and "there's more to the situation than what you've been hearing." This is a primary source from someone who was there to listen to his comments and speech to the team. Personally I think that we'll get a new coach not heard of before, or a middle school or person like Travis Waulk in the community who loves the program will step up, not Jay Lucas or Kidd.

So why his he leaving greener grass or what?

I sure hope everything works out for the Hornets. They have a great tradition in football. I can see several qualified candidates applying for this position. I hope the school board gets it right.

Why leave? CG has a better football program with more history than Boyd Co. Has to be the $$$$$.

Especially when you build something special and win a league title in your first year. Get the kids to buy in and then walk out a year later. SMH.

What a sellout.

Boyd county has not been noted for football for a while, but back in the 60's-the mid 70's they made a few appearances in the state playoffs. They used to beat Ashland, Russell, and Huntington high during that time as well. After Scott left the team spiraled out of control and they never gave another coach more than a couple years to achieve success. So the program stayed in the toilet and kids became uninterested. If Ferguson does not pull off a miracle at BC his time there will be short lived. In the four years I was there in the late 70's there were 3 different coaches.

Is he a techer?
Maybe Boyd county has better pay.
You gotta pay the bills regardless of if you are a coach or not.

Since it started with Ferguson can we do away with Roll Coal. Never liked it and never understood it.

[bucs40]

Black Raider always supplies good insight in all things Coal Grove.

[Mojo Bob]

Has the job even been posted?

[Whynotus18]

NO I loved coach Evan he was a great coach. I honestly could see him coaching a small college team one day.

[Whynotus18]

Coal Grove lost a good one

[bucs40]

Yeah thanks to a certain board member and player!!

Yes, he teaches biology at the High School. He also had power lifting coaching duties.

[RollCoal]

Has the job even been posted?

It probably won't be posted until after the next board meeting which I believe is 12-10.

[OVC]

Random thought that hasn’t been mentioned yet, what about Mark Vass?

[bucs40]

I highly doubt vass will even b a thought.

[Mojo Bob]

The coach at Greenup County was offered the Ironton job before Pendleton. Maybe he will apply for this one, he has done a nice job there turning their program around.

[bucs40]

With the crap that Evan went through, its hard to tell who will apply, like I said before all this over a player and board member.
