Head Coaching change in Whitwell....

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.

Who has applied? If anyone, after all the nonsense that’s going on they may not receive any apps. As a Whitwell fan and alumni I’ll say I’m genuinely worried for the football program.

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.

That or have him close by for the next round of consolidation talks that seems to come around every year or two.

I can see how he would be a "unifying" influence among the 3 communities.
