What direction??? If it wasn't all Coach Black fault, which I don't think it was' who else was to blame, assistant coaches, AD, Super, parents, fans, players? 2008 Whitley was regional champion running same system as now with most of same coaches. This year after losing several very good seniors and having numerous injuries they fall to 1-10 and now it wasn't all Coach Blacks fault but no one within system is worthy.
I know this if Coach Black had resigned today everyone would be saying, oh he at least resigned early enough to get a coach before spring practice, so IMO ANYONE who would have taken the job in Nov. will still take it Feb!!!!

the answer to your question is change what is outlined above in bold
Whitley was successful in 2008 because they had the players and depth to run that offense, so the last 5 years (24-34) the only thing that has changed is the roster. Whitley don't need another 1 trick pony, they need someone that can look at the talent and numbers on the field and incorporate an offensive scheme to accommodate their players, and entice as many kids to come out and play as possible by making it enjoyable.
