I completely agree, Haywood will never win a championship at Jenkins unless he has athletes to work with. I also agree that no coach can make athletes. He can make them stronger and discipline them, but if he does not have great players to some extent he will not win championships. To many times we judge coaches on how many championships they have. My point is there are and have been a great number of coaches that have been overlook just because they have not won a championship. Also some programs have a huge advantage in facilities. It takes a community and not just a coach.

I think we have a similar viewpoint to an extent, but we're looking at it from totally different directions. You used the Haywood to Jenkins scenario. It's more than just X's and O's and having athletes. My point is that you could put a great coach like Haywood at Jenkins and you'd see a flock of athletes from Letcher County enroll at Jenkins. He's established that image with his success at other schools. If Whitley could pull a guy of that nature in, you'd see that same trend from other local schools, but WC is now looking to possibly hire a coach that has been fired from his previous job. Championships mean more than you think when it comes to the hiring process.
