I really hate this for Coach Allen. I always liked him as a coach when I played for him and he was the DC. It will be hard for any coach to have success at Paintsville until the numbers increase. JTA took over a team that was heavily hit with graduation and losing a lot of players that started from their freshman season. You could have the late Bear Bryant on the sidelines and he couldn't have done any better with all the kids having to play "Iron Man" football and the overall talent level being down. The loss at Hazard in the 2006 playoffs could be put on his shoulders because of some of the play calling in the final quarter. Play calling was never a strong point of his but he could have left it up to someone else. This past season they finished where everyone thought they would, they had an extremely tough schedule for a team that fielded around 20 players. To whoever the next coach is I wish them well on trying to persuade some bodies to come out and give it a shot. It is going to be rough for them having to compete with Fall Baseball, the recent success of the basketball team, and XBox. I would like to see Coach LeMaster back out there, I wouldn't have wanted to play my years for anyone other than him.
