After listening to who they had coming back I was excited to see what they could do this year, and they could still turn it around. However, last week was a eye opener for me. When you let an 0-4 below average Powell County team put up 34 points against your defense, you are in trouble. At some point your loyalty to the defensive backs has to start to waiver, especially as a head coach when your job is to help 60 other guys win. I understand wanting someone to finally get it, and you are convincing yourself as a coach to keep him in every time you see a glimmer of hope. But come on, 34 points to Powell? It may be time to just keep your best players playing both ways and special teams. You have an obligation to your team, and if that's your best option then so be it. He may already be doing that and there may not be another option in the secondary. If not, create one. Make your QB start covering people or your receivers or running backs or maybe your linebackers. Who cares as long as the job gets done. Sometimes as a coach you have to reinvent yourself to stay relevant and this may be one of those times when you need to ask for help. 34 points to Powell? Seriously?
