[Fly Like a Duck]

There are several good coaches that Corbin could fill this position with. However, they don't just need a good Coach, Jewell was an excellent coach. They need a leader that the players will look up to. Finding a great leader will be harder than just finding a good coach.

I could be wrong, and if so, I'll eat the biggest Crow you can find. But, Corbin will not find a coach at a big time program, with a big time record to leave their current job this late in the year.

I will say this, though, whoever they hire will be a good one and Corbin will win just like they always have.

What I've never understood is, it's not like Corbin was going to and/or winning State Titles before Jewell got the job. I mean, it's been over 30 years since they have won a title. << This is what's made it hard for me to understand all of the animosity towards Jewell. Had they been a dynasty the previous 15+ years before he took over, then I can understand...but, he had as much, if not more success than anybody since '82.

They were Runners Up to Fort Knox in 1990, and then obviously Runners Up to Breathitt in 2002.

It's still a great job, no doubt....but, it's not viewed in the same light across the state (like it once probably was) like it is in SEKY (that's ok, every program goes through that).

Come to think of it, many of the coaches that will be after this thing are ones that:

1) Probably weren't even in HS the last time Corbin won a State Title

2) A good percentage of them weren't even born yet.

With that said, I still personally feel it is a GREAT job. But, if I'm reading this message board at all (and usually where there is smoke, there is fire), then it seems like a very, very, very hard group to please.
