I look for Jason Kinner to be the next head coach, that is if he wants it. If he does apply for the job and they don't hire him, they will regret it. Jason knows football, coulda walked on at UK but was smart and took a full ride to G-town where he won 2 NAIA National Championships. Ofcourse in 2000, the first one he was a freshman and he redshirted that year but in 2001 he played as a redshirt freshman. He is alumni of Paintsville, was All-State, All-District and All-Area at the LB position. What more can you ask for, he's young, know's what he's talkin about and could have a very bright future as head coach at Paintsville.

I think Jason would be a very good coach. I have never seen him coach personally but I know after playing for the caliber of team he did in college and play for championships he has to be football smart. When I got to watch him play a few games in HS and he seemed like a very passionate person which is what PHS needs. So I think this would be a good hire. Paintsville needs a coach that can make football a priority again. They need a coach that will stand up for his team and try to get players to come out and play, also I think the new coach shouldn't be influenced by others within the school system. I think whoever the new coach may be should do things his way (the right way) and not worry about what others think. This will be the only thing that can get PHS back on the map with football. Also if Kinner doesn't get the job I think it would be a wise idea to look for a coach out of the school system to come in here and turn it around. Paintsville was on the right track when they attempted to hire Chuke Williams a few years ago. But we all know the politics with that. I mean you saw what he did with that team when he worked with them in the winter. Bottom line we need a "FOOTBALL COACH" who truely loves the game not a poser who wants it for all the wrong reasons.
