There's no reason Whitley County shouldn't have a winning program.

Don't take this as a knock on Chappell, because he hasn't had enough time to prove himself yet and I will reserve judgment until at least one more year passes by.
BUT, IMHO, it seems like Whitley would be one of the better jobs, if not the best in this part of the state, with the set up they have in this area. However, it honestly never ceases to amaze me at some of the hires they have pulled off over the years, especially in basketball. I wasn't in the interview room, but I would imagine there were some very, very good names that put in for this coaching position. I know they had the money and spots open to beat pretty much any other school they wanted too or at least the max they could possibly give per the state, and so it has always baffled me how they came to this choice. As I said earlier, im not saying its a bad choice as weve not had enough time to see, BUT, everyone knew the past records and success that hes had at other programs. You cant tell me that some of those names that put in didn't have much better resumes.
If they wanted a guy who would come in, keep the program stable, treat the kids good and work hard, then they made a great choice. Ive heard he is all of these things. But if you are not hiring based solely on the option of how many games you can possibly win, then at least let us know the football program winning future titles is not your incentive and why you decided not to care about it much. I did like his show of power cutting one loose after two games like he did. Im a firm believer that if it isn't working, just go ahead and stop it then. Move on. No sense in trying to keep turning on a blown light bulb.

Ive heard to many different stories to even begin telling the first one on why and how choices are made, but winning ball games and getting kids scholarships are the number one priority for me, and I think im in the majority when I say that.

With that said, we are two ball games into the season and those two didn't matter when it comes to the postseason so its time to move forward. If the kids are physically capable, I have zero doubt that Cotton will turn that defense around. The man is a genius plain and simple. It will take a big amount of hard work to achieve it though.
