[WILDCAT NATION]

I have no inside information, just my opinion.

Joe Chirico ain't walking through that door at Pburg.

He lives in Paintsville. His kids graduated from or are still attending Paintsville schools. His children currently enrolled there are thriving. No way he would move his children to Prestonsburg.

So...If he were to leave Paintsville (again) for Prestonsburg (again), how hard would it make life on his children there? Granted it would be for the head coaching position and his kids wouldn't have to move, but you get the point.

Also...most of the talent from Prestonsburg has transferred into Paintsville. He has all the Paintsville talent to work with AND the Prestonsburg talent. Why would you leave that to go to Prestonsburg, where the cupboard is relatively bare in comparison? Would it be possible for the Prestonsburg kids to transfer BACK to Prestonsburg if Chirico took the job? Maybe...I guess. But I doubt it. Most of the Prestonsburg kids currently enrolled in Paintsville absolutely love it there.

Joe may be one of the best coaches I have seen in any sport at any level, and I would love to see him come to Prestonsburg since the Derossett Era is now done. But it ain't happening.

The fact that there is open discussion on multiple transfers from one neighboring town to another like they were just going to Walmart says alot about the entire situation.
