RunItUpTheGut made this point earlier, which is very accurate, but I too have not read the first positive comment on this thread.

It's either A) How bad the administration is and/or B) the depleting population/talent level.

Even in the worst of times, you usually hear of one person saying that "Everything is going to be OK."

So, my question is this:

If things are just a year or two away from being so terribly bad, then was Mills maybe done a favor?

Because if that's the case, then maybe this was a blessing in disguise for him and it wouldn't matter if Bear Bryant came back to life, when some of these rural places in KY bottom out not even he or Nick Saban could bring them back.

Now, if the talent level isn't going to be completely depleted for years to come after the C/O 2017 graduates, unless they hire a totally incompetent tool, Bell should be OK when you factor in the demographic and socioeconomic factors that they share with many of those they have to compete against (I mentioned this topic in the original thread).

So, which one is it? Or is it both?

It is both! Administration is a joke. It maybe a favor in the long run. They do have a decent young bunch a few years away but 3 of the best players are Coach Mills and Coach Hoskins kids. The most talented 8th grader and the 2 best 7th graders. So the problems are a lot more than the obvious. Not to mention the guy that has coached all those kids since pre-k. It just really stinks for everyone that cares! Supt don't care, principal don't ever come to games and pizza man's kid doesn't even play football.

Honestly I am glad Woolum turned it down and he will be too when it all pans outs. I think it is career suicde for whoever they swindle into taking it. It is a no win situation. I am glad my family has already played on log mountain and I am so glad none of them work in the school system.
