Coach Jewell decided on his new position several weeks ago. The reason it was announced this week was for the trimester to finish at the high school. When Coach Jewell first decided to take the vice principle job, an unofficial 3-4 man committee was formed to begin looking at replacements. One of these members is a very close friend of mine and they have made informal contacts with a hand full of coaches. The people they have contacted are younger coaches with ties to the area but no longer live or coach in the area. They all have college playing experience. I have been told a few names but do not have their permission to share. NO local coaches are being considered AS OF NOW. Of course that could change. The middle school coach is not being considered nor is anyone currently on the high school staff. The committee thinks the job is too big for anyone currently on staff.

As for Coach Jewell himself, he has many, many more people who support him than the number who bash him. I myself think very highly of him and was pleased to see the ovation he received when introduced at the 13th region boys championship game. Even the Clay Co. fans showed their class and gave him props.

Of course this is my first post here, as most people who support Corbin High School don't seem to be very welcome here, so I'll let you guys decide if I'm just trolling or if I'm legit.
