The Paintsville situation kind of reminds of Danville. It isn't exactly the same because Danville has way more talent in the system than Paintsville. You replace Joe Chirico who was extremely successful with someone (who while is a solid young offensive coach) has no connection to Paintsville and the community. It reminds me of Danville replacing Clevinger with Mark Peach who was a solid coach but wasn't able to generate excitement in the community or the school. I have no idea how well Brian Melvin would do but it's worth considering because like someone said earlier, I think you would get him plus 2-3 really solid assistant coaches back. That type of coaching staff would get a lot of support from community and probably get a lot of kids out on the field. I think it will be really hard to ever get back to the level of the Chirico era, but they could be more competitive. Because of the inherent limitations at Paintsville if they don't get this hire right, they could fall off a steep cliff.
