I don't think anyone will argue that what Haywood has built is the Gold Standard for high school football. The program is what everyone compares themselves too and rightfully so. Until he retires or passes away, he'll have a job at belfry. If I was an athletic director looking for a new head coach I would be looking at the belfry staff to fill it. If I was a college recruiter I'd pick one of his players over almost anyone. Why? There's a lot to be said for somebody that comes from a championship atmosphere. They only know how to win and what it takes. Everyone talks about belfry because whether or not they want to admit every time their in a state championship game everyone in the mountains feels like they have somebody to route for. I'm sure Haywood is laughing over all the hysteria over one loss. He probably knows like some other people do that the loss to Pikeville will refocus them and put a chip on their shoulder all the way to another ring. I'd love to see Pikeville and Belfry both bring home a ring.
