This is the part that definitely stood out to me.  Excerpt:

However, sources close to the situation tell News 12 that a former assistant coach is the front-runner.

Griffith says no names have come across his desk just yet. However, he believes the rumored replacement would not qualify due to a previous criminal incident and lack of teaching certificate.

Hearing nothing has changed. Still name mentioned few weeks back.

Why would Griffith, Marion County Schools Superintendent, interject himself into this article regarding a 'rumored' candidate?  Bringing up a previous criminal incident? 

And then goes on to say Whitwell needs stability when rumor is he backs Ross coming back to the Valley?  

What kind of stability is that?  Ross spent a couple minutes at South Pittsburg, give or take a few seconds,  then was brought to Jasper and skipped out after 2 years while the whole time he was telling his coaching staff and players he wasn't going anywhere.  Next thing you know ... poof, he was gone.  

Is that the type of stability Whitwell needs or is there something else going on behind the scenes?

RR is not the next coach at Whitwell.

I guess Griffy wants to setup The W for a disaster.

According to Griffy there is no official applications.  So for now, they have no coach.  Should make spring practice simple. That's kinda what Ricki did to SP leaving them without a spring practice and got us a home and away with a 2a power in Kentucky.

Whitwell gets North Jackson at home.  When that news broke I stated someone must be on their way out the door at Whitwell. 

Also Bell County is 3A in Kentucky.  They went 14-1 last year falling to the Belfry Pirates in the state title game.

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
