I think what bigE was referring to was the fact that JTA wasn't a Paintsville product and his last name wasn't the same as some of the past successful coaches/players that were a product PHS. If it was a homegrown coach instead of JTA, I think the people would've been more patient with him. When Coach LeMaster took over at Paintsville he went like 3-7 and 1-9 in his first two seasons, yet he wasn't taken to the guillotine. I just wish that everyone would've been more patient with him. A man that has been around the Paintsville football program for such a long amount of time like JTA was deserved more than 2 years at the helm.

The problem with coach Allen was the kids. From what I've been told the reason the numbers were so low was because nobody liked playin for him. I'd say play callin had alot to do with it. IMHO if they woulda give him another 2-3 years, Paintsville woulda been playin 8 man football like Jenkins had to do a few years back. They weren't gonna sit back and let that happen.
