hey answerking,
I agree with you one-hundred percent, when it comes to the fact that Mount Juliet did not stand behind Dearing. He deserved better in my opinion, however, so did Coach Winfree. When Coach Bell began coaching at MJ he did not have much talent nor did he win, but the faculty and the community stood behind him. They did this because they had not been accustomed to winning. They are now! This is greatly related to the fact that they stood behind Coach Bell when he was losing, he then in return showed them winning. The same is true with all of MJ's sports. The MJ football program was very successful a few years ago, the most successful team in school history was under the controls of Coach Winfree in his first year at MJ, if his being fired does not show that there must be something wrong with MJ support than I do not know what is. The new basketball coach I hear is very qualified and doing well so far, he has the players, the community, and the faculty, believing he is going to show them a winning team.
