I blame the school system for hiring a coach that had only been an assistant for a season and fired a coach that was with the program for years. Coaches with a lot more experience and a better resume' wanted the job and were turned down for someone that hadn't proven anything. Just cause he played college ball DOESN'T mean he can coach the game. We aren't talking about baseball and basketball, we are talking about football. Blame it on talent all you want, but anyone that KNOWS football can see that talent isn't the issue. They have size, speed, and great athletes for a Class A school. A lot of talent is GOING across the creek because we have a coach that has turned a once proud program into a CIRCUS. Even Bo Belcher sent his kid across the creek after being an assistant at phs for years. Prime example of how bad things are getting. I'd say that kid will be a star at JC as well, and anyone that has seen him play will agree. I bash the system for being political and chosing a coach based on who his family is whether then who was the most qualified man for the job. Anyone that says any different is a liar and thats a proven fact.

I understand your frustration. Alot of people frustrated with how the football program is going. I'm optimistic and think things will cycle back for the good. Hiring and firing coaches isn't a quick fix in my opinion. Johnson Central is the worst school in the mountains for that. In fact, a certain political group over there would love to see Matney out of there. I will support the coach in charge. If Kinner is relieved of his duties I will support the next guy. Bashing coaches doesn't help the program at all. All of these Alumni in Paintsville who think bashing Coach kinner is doing the program good better rethink the words they are putting out there. Kids here it and that only hurts the program. Paintsville will be fine it's gonna take some time.
