If Middlesboro can get Roark out and a new coach in, then things could get turned around heading back to the right direction. It just depends on who that new coach would be. I really think there is no other option than to fire Roark. At the beginning of the season I was totally against this, but after what I've been told about this whole situation, it's time for a change and a new era to begin. There are some prime candidates out there. Maybe a Bell County assistant (just funnin' ya BellCoBobcats09). On a serious note, Middlesboro can inherit a good coach. The Yellow Jacket tradition is pretty rich and I'm sure there is someone that knows what they're doing that would love to inherit this program.

I'm sure all of this mess will be taken care at seasons end. I don't think we will have a clear picture of what next season will look like for the Jackets until next summer though. I do believe the MHS administration will make the right decision and bring in a brand new head coach. The thing is, Coach Roark's history speaks for itself. He is one of the winningest coaches in the Mountains and has a '98 state championship under his belt. Problem is, none of that matters now. It's time for a change.
