I'm a bit of a Knox fan...LOL. I have just been quietly reading all the fun. Time to speak my mind on this one. If Coach Mills heads to Bell it will be a heart breaker for us for the obvious reasons. But here are some things that I will add to that:

1. If he goes to Bell he will have the dubious distinction of being the first Bell Coach in recent memory to get his butt beat by Knox. We will beat Bell next year I don't care if Nick Saban takes the job.

2. If he takes the job I for one will not be angry about it. I know him pretty well and believe he is really torn right now between his home town; a family of players he has worked hard to build into champions; and a Bell program that he knows at the 3A level will coast to many wins and a few state titlles. Tough call for any man in his shoes.

3. I have to say this though. He who dodges competition usually comes out behind. I know it has to be compelling to see the green pastures of 3A land for a Bell team that the head cheerleader could coach to a State title with Davenport carrying the rock in 2011; but I hope he sees the bigger crown of Canady, Diamond, Grubb, Helton, and Barger leading him to victory over teams like Boyle and Highlands in the toughest division of KY football.

Finally, if indeed he has already accepted the job it does my heart good to know the head football coach for big Bell County is organizing our off season weight training program. That has to make us better... LOL.

BTW, our core group of kids literally started lifting the Saturday after the Bell loss. I have never seen such focus and intensity so early from a group. I can't flippin wait for fall even if our head cheerleader is the new football coach at Knox. The mouth smashing will be plenty as will the wins.
