As soon as the school year is over I hear that Brad Allen is locked in for HC job at Paintsville. He has to finish out his year as assistant principal at Pikeville. He has coached all over the mountains. Paintsville better get a good running back if he is hired. Because they’ll run, run, and run some more.

Run right into a wall as a program yeah

Not sure where your animosity is coming from. Brad is a quality high school football coach with a strong pedigree of accomplishments. He has won everywhere he has been. Breathitt County, Pikeville College, Belfry, East Ridge, and Pikeville. Like others have mentioned, not sure why he might leave being an administrator at Pikeville for Paintsville....Unsure if there is trouble in paradise, but I always say, I'd rather drive straight to Hell than Pikeville. 

When it comes to the Paintsville program, how far back are they? 12 years ago they lost to Jenkins...Did Hoskins not replenish the pantry after Chirico? Has Johnson Central stockpiled the local talent....Does Martin County and Prestonsburg have anything to do with it? If the trend holds....Could we argue that Paintsville would falter with Chirico had Prestonburg and Martin not have been dumpster fires?

he has won what
Brad Allen is definitely the reason for all of those wins at belfry and pikeville. poverty programs before he came along honestly….. and winning is definitely what he does I remember him racking up all those wins at East ridge I’m sure there were some quality wins in there……….. not. ill deep dive in it if you want… while I understand it isn’t a good program he probably won less games than David jones did at Phelps and nobody is tripping over themselves to offer him a good job

fact is pikeville wins in spite of him he has consistently had running backs like Birchfield, Anthony, Raines etc… when Anthony wasn’t himself this year he was lost

if play callin gets anymore complicated than running power or inside zone then it all goes to heck for him 

the fact is Paintsville has a chance to be a premiere 1A program alongside pikeville and raceland with the right hire……. Every pikeville fan I know wants Paintsville to hire brad Allen and that should tell you all you need to know………
