[HAROLD]

I too think Jewell will be back and when it comes to overall record and pure coaching ability, I think that he should be back. While growing, Corbin is still a smaller school so talent does come in waves even though there are many more up years than down.

When it comes to X and O's, I would argue that you could only find a handful of staffs better than what Corbin has. That being said, a lot of the losses, at least appear are due to the coaches outsmarting themselves.

The biggest issue doesn't seem to be results, but instead seems to be personal relationships. I'm not in the locker room so I don't know what goes on but after so much talk, you have to think there has to be some fire where the smoke comes from. I certainly do not think Jewell and staff verbally abuse the kids but there has been talk of unfair amount of blame being put on the kids for losses. The blame should go from the kids to the staff. Nobody is perfect.

Coach Jewell is a good man. However, while he is fine in a one on one setting, he's not a big personality. It towns like Corbin where football is so big, you are a public figure and almost the face of the town. I think that where Steve is more of an introvert, that causes a lot of the chatter about him not being the man for the job. You can't let inmates run the asylum but you also need to be more of a figure head in the community. It's kind of like how Gillispie to Calipari in Kentucky. Gillispie would stay out of the lime light and wouldn't connect, where Cal is always out and about shaking hands and kissing babies.
