I believe Whitley can compete in the area. No outside of it, no. But itâs not really their fault. You look at the talent pool those big city schools have and it doesnât leave much of a chance for a school like Whitley in their class. I honestly donât care who they hire. I do want to see them do good though. To me Iâd look and try to find an up and coming coach who hasnât âmadeâ it just yet. But one that can shock a lot of people. Will he probably leave if successful in some short years after? Yeah. But itâs about building. Stone by stone. All they need is to have a couple amazing seasons and then they can go for a next level coach.

Corbin can easily be in the same boat 10 years from now. Especially if haddix leaves and a suitable replacement cant be found.
I dont think it will happen in the next realignment, but the one after that could easily see corbin move to 5A and be at the same disadvantage Whitley is against other teams in the state. With their move to 4A next year, it's only a matter of time.

We need Lawson and Siler to apologize to Chappell and give him a raise and his job back so the kids and the fan base won't leave. Just my opinion, I've enjoyed the last 5 years watching Whitley play. Yes more wins would be nice but it's more about the impression Chappell made on his players as young men also to me.Very upset with this decision and will be for a long time.

Chappell had nothing to do with the 61-0 beating. His players had to learn basically 4 different offenses, blocking assignments, personnel, etc. He had to take daddies and middle school coaches on the staff, he had a principle that tried to take his weight training program over and ran off Frazier. All while trying to keep a job that was never his. Doug donât give me that crap you know it was never Chappell, hell he was lucky to keep his sanity and the kids focus to even try to compete.

Corbin should hire him and get rid of Haddix.

He played at EKU where he won 2 National Championships and had 2 runner-up finishes. He was named the D1-AA national player of the year his senior year and played a couple of seasons in the NFL before joining the coaching ranks.
He was a grad asst. at UK before going to Tenn. under Johnny Majors and moved to Pitt when Majors took the job there. He coached at Tulane when they had their 12-0 team before moving to West Virginia, Kent St. and EKU along with a couple of others. He has never been a head coach though.
Majors was at Pitt before UT. Other than that you're pretty spot on.

Not a done deal with anyone. I have not gotten who I want just yet. Still working out details, I will have an announcement when I have finished. May not workout, may workout, we will see.

I will announce the Coach when I hire one.

Sounds like the Principal needs to be forced to take it. We had a Super like this guy, short timer after he pulled stunts like this.

Firing a coach for 1 down year. Hey if you wanted to fire him because of standards not met look again. If you say you want more, then I say why has the basketball coach still there? So the stunt I refer to is the Principal wants to control the program and anyone with half a brain knows that if that happens the results are a season like you had. Your program was progressing until the principal gets involved. That stunt.

I disagree on the program progressing.
