Kentucky high school football coach suspended for using inappropriate language

According to a report by the Lexington Herald Leader, a Kentucky high school football coach has been suspended for two games due to the use of inappropriate language.

Leslie County School District Superintendent Brett Wilson provided the outlet with a statement, with Leslie County head football coach Brian Hubbard, who is an alum of the Eagles, as the person handed the disciplinary action.

“The Leslie County School District holds all staff members, including our coaches, to high standards of professionalism and conduct,” Wilson said in a statement via the report.

“Following a report received after our most recent football game, the district conducted an internal investigation. As a result, our Head Football Coach has been suspended for two games due to the use of inappropriate language. It is essential that all employees model the respect and behavior we expect from our students and athletes. The district has addressed this matter directly with our Head Coach and appropriate corrective steps have been taken in accordance with district policy. Our focus remains on supporting our student-athletes, maintaining the integrity of our athletic programs, and ensuring that all interactions — on and off the field — reflect the values of the Leslie County School District.”

Through eight games this 2025 Kentucky high school football season, Hubbard in his first year has led the Eagles to a 2-7 record, with the team’s only two victories coming in back-to-back weeks on Sep. 19-26 in a 28-20 victory over East Ridge and 58-46 over Floyd Central, respectfully.

Last year, Leslie County went 6-5 and qualified for Kentucky’s Class 2A playoffs.
