I will play this game while you act as if you don't know the answer. To summarize, he was a coach that made excuses for losing instead of finding a way to win. Most of the time, he blamed the players for lack of effort. It was his way or no way. He began his first two years 4-17. He couldn't make decisions on the fly during the game and wouldn't listen to anyone else. My grandma could have intercepted Whitley because it was the same passing play to the same receiver over and over. His third year when he couldn't afford another losing season, Donnie Fox, a respected and experienced winning coach, was calling the plays so Whitley had a successful season. They were 12-2 that year. Everyone knew who was in charge and why. In a nutshell, his record was 40-53 during his stay. He didn't earn respect as coach, and the kids didn't want to play for him. His 1A coaching style didn't work at Whitley, and he didn't know how to adjust.
