This is a good point. The official application could be filled out long after the deed was done. I'm satisfied at this point the decision rests on the shoulders of Coach Mills. No doubt he has the opportunity to HC at Bell if he wants as Id say the offer has been made. Will he take it is the real question at this point. I stand by what I have said all along. If he does - no hard feelings here. But I genuinely feel he will be making a bad move for his career and his family. Likely would win a ton in 2011 (everybody will say that was with Dudley's team) and after that will blend in with the Somerset, Belfry, Centrals of that world(Central played St X real close this year and went on to destroy Belfry - no cake walk there).

If he leaves - we will put a great coach at the helm with superior facilities, a fantastic Senior group, excellent feeder programs, and a community that supports football like never before. I hope that does not happen but if it does we will excel despite it.

I agree with your post and appreciate how you feel about Coach Mills staying at KC. He's done a fantastic job there and has the ball rolling.
I do disagree with one part. Bell will not blend in. They will stand out. If they don't, that coach will not be there long. And to the point about Lou. Central, no doubt they're a very solid program. But, I'll take my chances playing them over Ft. Thomas or Boyle year in and year out. It's not a bad deal for Bell at all with this new alignment. It doesn't guarantee a state title by any means but the road definitely didn't become more difficult for Bell. For Knox Central it did just that.
