If Corbin couldn’t make it to the state championship game this past season with  the talent they had then what makes anyone think the current coaching staff gets them there next year or ever for that matter? Does anyone believe that next years team will be more talented?

This is a rebuilding year for Corbin. You do not replace the type of athletes instantly that has graduated at Corbin.  Pikeville and Franklin County early games will tell you everything you need to know about the rest of the season. Corbin will be better early because everyone has new players settling but the lack of adjustments will fade later in the season. Thats a trend that I have seen with this staff. As far as championship, Corbin will have a chance just like the Bengals, you win you're in. But realistically, I wouldn't bet my spare change. Thats why I say probably 3-4 losses minimum on the season. That may change depending on the look of the team. Corbin has Kid Elam that will be a handful at QB, but the big question is will they take Combs and move Combs to use his skills because he is so versatile as a player, can play Running Back, Wide Receiver, Slot or QB. Brody Wells who was the #1 receiver 2 years ago, if he comes to offense and is used properly.  Then Dakota Patterson, he had some issues that kept him out of some games last year but when he was there was hardly used in my opinion. But last year he was a decoy along with Longmire to open up the running game trio of Combs, Huff and Mills. Lots of questions for me to see with my own eyes before I can accurately predict. I hope for the players sake I am completely wrong with my assumptions but knowing the trends in decision making it will make you have gray hair. I'll give you a example, last game of the year didn't play Longmire on defense that game and then didn't play Seth Mills on offense that game. Talk about knuckle heads, reckon can we get Boyle, Johnson Central and Franklin County to sit players in the 3rd 4th and 5th round games  

At first glance, I thought you said something like a  reporter named Knuckles is coaching in Corbin.
