I worked for Mike Whitaker and have nothing but the BEST to say about the man. I learned alot of football working as his D cordinator and have nothing but RESPECT for coach Whitaker. I hate to see him go but I cannot fault a man who has an opportunity to better himself and his family. Like I told him, " You can still come over and deer hunt anytime you want to." That's how much I think of Mike Whitaker.:thanks:

Well, the kind of buddy he is to you doesn't change the fact that he told his players that he was leaving them for more money. I know a couple of kids from Powell and that really hurt them. Now, to me, that's not cool. These kids have given alot to him and this program. Seems to me, tho that W is the only one who benefits and looks good. From what I know of him, he likes to surround himself with people who make him look good. And if the rumors that I heard are true, the money wasn't THAT much more...good...but not great? Funny tho how he ended up with that extra money during a period of budget cuts and layoffs, huh? Gotta love the "good ol boy" system in small towns. :dontthink
