If they wanted stability, someone who was committed to Powell County, etc., plus someone who knows some ball..I'd say they made a good hire.

I can tell you how many people across the state look at Stanton as their choice to make a home if they don't have any ties to there, and that's none. No offense. Same goes for most all rural areas if no ties to the community.

I agree on the need for stability and there are situations that a "local" is needed to re-establish the program. If the local is the best candidate then that's even better.

But there are alot of teams that have hired local just because and not taken the best football coach. Many administrations have also encouraged the hiring of people already in the system as it makes their job easier.
