If the new coach is who I think it is, I’m sure there will be several negative comments regarding how he got the job. In the past, these comments are pointed more at his family and he gets discounted as a result. It is my opinion that if Cannon County football has any chance of becoming successful, the program will need 100% support from the community including his family. It’s puzzling why people are so outraged by one family’s support of a high school football program. Some would say their goal is to promote their son(s) and their business. I would argue that personal gain or advertisement is not their motivation. Rather, it’s an effort to create positive lifelong memories for the every player on the team. Those that have issues with this “family with money†are failing to see something very important and incredibly simple. Their success didn’t happen because of stupidity or luck; it happened over years of smart business decisions and a commitment to hard work. If anything, their support should be embraced. It’s no different than the board of directors at a bank. They invite successful people as board members to help make quality decisions that will ensure the bank's future success. Maybe a “family with money†supporting a high school football program isn’t such a bad thing. Perhaps their success will rub off. I will leave you with one last comment to consider. I wonder if the “Ensworth faithful†demonize Tim McGraw for his support of their program.
