They say character is what you do when no one is watching. What does that say about your character if you hide behind an anonymous screen name and take shots at teenagers? Paintsville has 108 boys in grades 9-12 spread across football, soccer, cross country, and golf according to KHSAA. Paintsville has always been up a couple years and then down for a few years, that is Class A athletics. We realize that it is an uphill battle for us, football is a numbers game. We have good numbers at the moment and very talented kids including several new faces. For the last 7 or 8 years we have had a division amongst fans who have opinions on everything football, but all they want to do is complain rather than sign up to help. Coach Chirico is a great coach, Dale mentioned in a previous post how highly he regards Coach Chirico and I think that speaks volumes about a guy when an opposing coach takes the time to compliment him. Coach Chirico is the kind of guy any parent would want their son to look up to as a role model. He is the type of guy that you could stack the odds against and he would find a way to succeed. He is the best man for the job! Just remember when you hide behind a screen name and take jabs, that anyone can be ten feet tall and bulletproof in an anonymous forum. All of us that signed up to coach the 2013 Tigers realize the obstacles we face, and unfortunately what our wives and small children must endure this fall. We have a plan to succeed, we have made decisions collectively as a staff that we feel best benefit our team. We would put our staff up against any! Also remember these are teenage kids that have bought in through time, effort, and hard work. It isn't fair for an adult who can't draw up a base cover 2 defense to tell them what is and isn't right with their football program. We hope that those of you who are true supporters get behind us this fall, put the team in front of individual agendas and genuinely support us. They also say it takes a village, and when all of our supporters put their opinions and personal agendas aside, we can restore our athletic programs! GO TIGERS!
