To be honest, I was skeptical three years ago about this whole situation. A proven coach in rebuilding years at a school was fired after two seasons for a school that he was a well-liked assistant coach for several years. Kinner is named the coach and I was left wondering how a man with only one years experience ( some people claim he had three years but thats not true) as an assistant was capable of being a head coach. He played at Georgetown College, but just because you played the game at the college level isn't sufficient proof that you are capable of teaching the game. Then slowly during his tenure as being the man in charge, the experienced assistants are run off and a bunch of fresh new faces are on the sidelines in year three. What successful hs football program has two assistants that didn't play hs football, a d coordinator that didnt play defense, the head coach making play calls with no experience on offense, and the guys that actually played the game have no coaching experience? How are these kids set up to be successful? How is this young staff supposed to out coach teams with coaches with WAY more experience? This whole process from the beginning has been set up to fail and more then one person is to blame for this whole situation. They have tried to impliment an offensive scheme that kids at paintsville or several other class A schools arent able to run and be successful. When you set the kids up to fail, you will not win ball games. The sad part is they think the problem is going to go away when the elementary school kids get to the high school level, but the scenario they aren't considering is those kids more then likely either wont want to play for a losing program and will quit playing football or will transfer to JC to play for Jim Matney. When the team across the creek is winning and having huge crowds, that is where kids will want to play football. If the school system doesnt go out and try to find a good coach to establish excitement to the program, paintsville football may never get back to the level that it used to be. It wouldnt surprise me at this point if the school ends up being like Paris. Used to be a power house program, and is now barely able to field a team. Their are local head coaches and assistant coaches that could bring excitement back to the program and Coy Samons needs to be contacting those people. If not, then people that criticize my posts now will owe me a big apology down the road when things hit rock bottom, which is almost where the state of the program is in now.
