I would keep Chirico from this staff and try to maybe find some new assistants that know football. I don't know his plans but Ryan Brown could be a good asset but that's really the only one I can think of. We should try to hire away from the school system and get a Teacher/Coach.

I really hate to see this happen to the program, but Paintsville is a winning school and won't accept anything but. Allen was faced with a lot of adversity during his two-year stint (graduation, low numbers, etc.). He was a heck of a guy, but as far as head coach goes....he may have jumped into the position a little too soon. I think he will get another coaching job and be very successful someday.

As far as Chirico is concerned...I don't know if he will stick it out but I hope he does. He taught me and my fellow teammates a lot during my days at Paintsville...it was evident by being ranked in the top 10 in pass defense out of all 4 classes my junior and senior season. He brings a lot of passion and intensity to the game and I sure hope he sticks around. Kinner will be a great coach, I was speaking with him actually a few weeks ago after the Pikeville game and I believe he will welcome the oppertunity to be the head coach at his alma mater and would provide the hard work and dedication to get the Tigers back on track. As far as Ryan Brown is concerned, he would be a good coach too and played on a National Championship team at James Madison University....but I don't if he will be able to next season since he graduates next December. I look for him to assist at Pikeville College for a season. Trust me when I say there are a lot of people that would LOVE to help bring Paintsville back to being a contender for the District, Regional, and State Championships.
