[Football1]

Anybody in their right mind as a football fan knows "Bell is not dead." Just b/c they lose in Little league don't mean much IMO. From what I was told they have a couple of weaker classes but each of those classes have pieces that will fit together nicely when they are altogether. 1 group has a good core of Lineman they other skilled kids. Anyone who thinks Bell Co. football is simply "Dudley Hilton" is foolish. That is what he always wanted it to appears as but it is not the whole truth.

Nobody thinks it is dead. Nobody thinks it is in the hospital. Few probably even think it has a sniffle. The real argument here is about potential. Upside. Where do you want to spend the next 10 or 20 years coaching? A program that has already been to great success with a fan base that will demand more of the same. Or your home town where your best days await? A program you created where the talent in the younger classes is mowing down everyone and a community that supports you, put thousands in the stands this year, and a core group of kids who literally would put on uniforms and go to war behind you.

It is not my intent to offend anyone from Bell. I clearly admire that program and specifically many of their fans on this site. I'd buy you all dinner sometime as long as it was at McDonalds...LOL. I don't blame you for wanting Wayne and recruiting him. He is the best coach in this area. He should hear you out. But he should stay here in his hometown and continue building the next powerhouse of mountain football.

Please allow me to wish each of you a very Merry Christmas. I count it a blessing to know Christ as my savior and hope each of you do. His blood paid the price for my MANY sins. And that work started with his miracle birth. God bless you all.
