Read on a recent post where one of the CHS coaches was arrested, is that true? If so, who was it and what was the reason? If this did happen, this is not something our football program needed now after having such a dissappointing past 2 seasons.

Yes, it is true. It was an assistant coach, Foley. Im sure that by now that the citation has been "lost" and it is all a big mis understanding. It will be interesting to see who takes care of this incident but Im sure one of the former Redhound "greats" will do so.

 

I think a closer look needs to be made in all our coaches.  What kind of example is that setting.  I know he may not be paid but do you want someone who frequents bars to coach our children.  We have put up with coaches mistreating children for years and their behavior.  Its time to stop it.

When the football player gets arrested or any student for that matter what will happen.  Usually they are kicked off team or sent to east.  Maybe they can slap his had and send him to east ward.  Remember kids are watching what happens.

Here we go. The same ole people that gripe and whine about everything else are now jumping on Mr Foley. Hey guys get a life. Burly is a good guy.

I agree...coach Foley is a good guy. Im sure he regrets letting himself get caught up in the wrong situation and I'd say he will tell his players and children that he made a mistake and accept whatever punishment comes along.

 

Burley will be fine as long as he draws Judge Prewitt, like Scotty WIlliamson did. Then, they'll move the trial to McCreary County, so they'll think they're getting away with something.

Then judge Prewitt will take care of it. Or maybe Gary Barton can give him some advice, as his kids have gotten out of about everything they have done.

Welcome to Corbin and the Tri Counties.

Burley and his Son should have done the right thing Sat evening and followed the directions of the Corbin Police. They did not! It sounds like according to the newpaper he was charged also for Public Intoxication.

If this is true about him being a Corbin football Coach he should do the right thing now and quit or the Board of Education take action whether he is paid or non Paid.

You obviously didnt read the newspaper. Burley has taken responsibility and is doing the right thing. He is paying his fine, has apologized and will try to help the community ten fold. What else can the man do? Now leave the man and his family alone and move on with your life!

C.H.

Burley did this to himself, no way he can keep coaching young kids and continue this behavior. This is no the first time Burley has had a problem like this. He can do what ever he wants is his personal life, just step away from trying to lead high school kids!

He should resign, which is the right thing to do.

BULL @#*+,Everyone has a life after football,Burley although he is a little rough around the edges has a bid heart.Burley coached my son and to this day he considers Burley one of his best buddies,also all this deal about his coaching,I also can confirm he spends EVERY dollar earned as a coach on his kids.Take a look at you past Ill bet you have a few skeletons in your closet too!

This Entire Incident is an Emabarssment to the Entire Corbin School System, Burley represents the school and the football team. You seem more concerned about Burley than the damage done to he School and the terrible Publicity this has given us.

I don't care how many kids this man has coached, getting drunk with his own son is not the kind of role model the system needs.

The only thing you can confirm is we made the Lexington & Hazard News Stations and the Local Papers along with the Humiliation to his own family. It's hard to defend a bad position.

Burley should resign, apologize to the Corbin School System and seek help for his problem.

That is what lawyers is for, we dont need lawyers we can make our own judgements,Burley is a good guy .What have you done lately!

That's the Problem, too many "Good Guys" have got behind the wheel and either Injured or hurt someone seriously when Drunk. What if Foley had driven home? Wrecked, Hurt himself, his Son or another Young Man or Woman?

We have many good folks in this area, but being a nice guy, then getting Drunk at a Local Restaurant with your own son is over the line. Again, had he driven that night and someone killed or injured then the good guy story would not be so good, right?

This entire situation is sad, the Message here should be "Please Don't Drink & Drive".

This was a misdemeanor charge, not a felony!

Not like the other coach from years ago that did hard time.

So-----Your saying all is OK? No problem? Nice how your trying to make up Baloney that has nothing to do with the conduct of this coach, the board and Leadership has to take action, they have no choice.

Coach's can not be getting drunk in Public, fighting with the Police, and worse, having his son along. The last poster needs a reality check and some guidelines as to what behavior in the Public you can get away with.

This has nothing to do with Holy Rollers or anything else, Burley knew himself what the consequences of this would be. The last poster sounds like a young kid babbling with no sense of responsibilty or accountability.

First of all, the people in power deserve to be given lighter or no punishment penalties for their breech of the law.  After all, they are the elite group and should not be subject to the same rules for us peasants.

If a player on one of our teams committs this type of mistake they will be kicked from the team and suspended from school, but afterall they are only student athletes. They can be drug tested and if they are late to practice or commit an infraction they are given immediate punishment.

Let's be fair with the power people. We have sacrificed a great deal to give them so much in land deals, in expenses, in jobs for their buddies, and an assortment of benefits. We don't want to disturb their greed. Let's be real quiet and not raise our concerns on a website like this. Shuuuu. Be quiet. Shuuu. Go to sleep little peasant.

This is not my normal internet surfing material.  I get on the internet because I like to enjoy myself.  In fact, I've never posted anything on a board like this before but I just happened upon this site because I had heard that someone was talking bad about my husband and I wanted to see what it said.  However, instead, I found all of your opinions about Burley and BJ's arrest, and quite honestly I find most of them laughable.  You set up judgment about things you know nothing about.  You hear the "news reports" which are of course only a reporter's opinion when it all comes down to the bottom line.  The 20-25 people that were supposedly there just happened to be leaving a closing restaurant, not congregating around a "fight".  There were a few words exchanged but what wasn't reported was that most were between Burley and BJ because Burley was trying to calm BJ down because someone was smarting off about his father.  I don't know about you but I would also defend my father so hats off to BJ.  He respects his father and doesn't understand why others don't.  Personally, I know for a fact that Burley has unselfishly given of himself for years to help the youth of this community have better lives.  Kids who had no guidance at home, or not enough money, whatever, Burley gives without question or without expecting anything in return.  He made a mistake, He owned up to his mistake.  Nothing has been "buried"  He paid his fine, he's apologized and he has accepted the punishment that he was given.  And yes, they took disciplinary action against him.  My kids love Burley because he's earned it.  Huh, most of your kids probably love him too.  As for him driving drunk, NO WAY.  He was not driving he was with several others and he never even attempted to get behind a wheel.  If you have such strong opinions, don't be ashamed of them.  Sign your names so at least Burley knows who his friends are or in your cases, are not.  All of Whitley County should be appreciative of what Burley has done.  He made the position that Pat White stepped into a lot easier to handle.  Yeah, he laid off people in the process, and he hated it.  But how many of them got called back?  Several.  You people should devote your time to trying to do some of the good Burley does and less time to stupid boards like this.
