Don't judge Bell by his 1-9 record at Chavez. Chavez is a new school in the Houston area. Its student body is 75% (if not more) Hispanic, therefore most of the players on the team are Hispanic.
It is my understanding, Bell was not hired until late July or sometime in August. I have a friend who interviewed with Bell for an assistant coaching job at Chavez. He told me, he was very impress with Bell. He said Bell was very professional, seem to be very organized, and from just talking to Bell, he thought Bell knew what he was talking about as far as X's and O's.
My friend did not coach at Chavez this year. He was offered a coaching
position at another school before Bell offered him a position at Chavez. He took the job at the other school because he didn't want to wait on Bell and end up with no job at all.
I'm sure Bell didn't get a chance to put in his whole system at Chavez, due to being hired late, and finding quality assistant coaches (most of the coaches in the Houston area had already found coaching jobs elsewhere). Another reason could be, since most of the players at Chavez are Hispanic, there football experience is very limited.
I'm not saying Bell will be successful at J. State, but let's not judge him by his 1-9 record at Chavez.
