First of all they were 1-10! I now hope they give it to the lawson guy at the middle school. He won't cost them as much!

I don't think they will be hiring from inside the program, especially a middle school coach. However I do think that the middle school program at Whitley had been very good over the past few years, I think all of the coaches do a good job They have taken a decent program and made it one that is one of the better middle school programs around.

**pjdoug** · 12-12-2013, 01:29 PM

I hope you're right. I agree on the middle school coaches,but we need a big name coach from outside the county at the highschool

I personally don't think you need a big name that is set in their ways, I think you need a young ambitious coach who will breathe life back into the program and let parents and the community be active participants. Then you will see the numbers increase.

Be careful what you wish for.

The Whitley fans can only hope it turns out that good, I would hope if this Dudley thing has any truth to it and does not work out he would be plan B. From my past experience they will probably end up with Larry Anderson. LOL

Think about it. Duncum took a very weak program and became successful at N Laurel. He had no support and very little talent. He also played QB at Union and was very successful. He's now at Corbin and one of the few coaches the players like. Lynn Camp was nuts for not taking him two years ago. If he gets the Whitley job, I guarantee you 5-8 kids transfer immediately from Corbin. If Whitley is smart they will announce it before Christmas break. From what I hear, he and Campbell use to be buddies as well. He'll also be walking the halls getting those big athletes out for football. He can really relate to the kids. Plus he'll be much cheaper than Dudley and is a teacher. Can't believe Gut is not talking about this :eyeroll:

Greg Duncum fits that mold.

Word on the street is there already going to be some transfers at Christmas.
I could see some going to Whitley with the right hire, and I would think that would be a first .For whatever reason Huelett did not want Lynn Camp to be successful at anything.

Well....actually you are right but at that time mediocre was success to N Laurel. He did produce a lot of improvement though.

I said I wasn't going to talk about it anymore :biggrin:

Formerjacket has already scared off all the coaches we've went after with his post, so I expect Whitley to play without a head coach at all next season

Will they be going to Williamsburg, Knox Central or Lynn Camp?

Lynn Camp use to get a lot of transfers from Corbin, but most parents have been reluctant to send them that direction lately due to academic reputation.

footballfever · 12-13-2013, 10:37 AM

Coach Hilton will have to make a decision by Tuesday or Wednesday at latest so Whitley can open up the applications before Christmas break.

Parent participation is the trouble at most places. The only thing most parent need to know is what time do you need me at the concession stand or do you need me to help get the field ready. If they are not willing to do this you don't need them, they are more trouble than there worth.

You have lost it! Parents and community involvement are extremely important to a teams success! That is one of the biggest problems the county faces now. Hopefully, the new coach will be able to get the support they need, from the parents and the commmunity, to get things going in the right direction.
