That said, I totally understand the notion that Bell is a great program where it indeed would be an honor for any coach to lead. But here is what you are not getting. In business we study markets and growth trajectory to ascertain potential. We buy companies that lead not only in current market share (Bell) but ones that show exponential growth (Knox). Everyone thinks its a great thing for Bell that they are moving the 3A but that is not the case. Frankly, it shows the decline of population in that area. It moves you to a lower class of football where there are fewer elite schools. Why leave your home town where you personally are responsible for amazing growth of a program that 2 out of the last 3 years has set records for "best ever" when the only school that really beat you just left? And if he stays, he will get to be the coach at Knox when we beat Bell next year. If he leaves, he will be the coach that is at Bell when we beat them. Which sideline would you choose?

Bell could have been in 3a 4 years ago if they so wished but desided to play up. So, although the numbers are slipping a little its not as you are leading on F-1. None the less, all this talk is starting to get boring. Kinda like leading up to a game, by Thursday everyone is tired of talkin and just wants the game to be played!
