The more I think on it, the closer I get to 6-4.

Let me ask you an honest question, sir. You know I like you and respect your opinion immensely so I know you'll give it to me straight. If Haddix was leading the Hounds, as many of us thought would be the case, would your prediction still be leaning to 6-4? If not, what record would you predict for a Haddix-led Hounds squad?

Here is why I think so.    You cant start practicing a different way in June. There has to be a constant.  The defense is not gonna be what it has been either.   The offense isn’t going to be better or as good as last year in my opinion. 

All this can change if they get the right players in.  But until then that’s why I think 6-4. What did Corbin Lose last year on defense? You don’t just up and replace those guys with home grown kids in one season.  Full moon mills and Tom didn’t play many sophomores and freshman to get them ready for a hard schedule. 

Offensively we have one of the best QB in the state.  But lost key recievers and a running back.  We have 2 great kids back for sure. But last year we had 4-5 that could play for anyone. Question will also be. How will the new guy switch around the offense.  Will Daddy Elam get mad? 

Just a lot of questions! Do I think he can get them to winning 11-12 games a year?  Absolutely!  But year one? Frederick Douglas, Johnson Central, Lex Cath, and Pikeville are gonna be really good! I’m not betting on winning a single one of those games unless the portal gets wild! 

As for Haddix coming it would be a lot different. Haddix would have brought several key pieces with him if he came.  Atleast 3-4. If he didn’t bring them he would attract them with the way he coaches. The way he constantly builds up the kids. He is constantly taking them to the colleges if they aren’t coming to them. Constantly hyping them on social media and nonstop talking to college coaches on his phone.  That’s a players dream!  And that equates to players wanting to win even more.  They want to look good, and win the big games.  The kids feed off his confidence and support, like it or not. Follow him on X, instagram, Fb if you don’t believe me.
