I do not know who the next head coah will be for Paintsville but I wish them nothing but the best. As a former Tiger I have always kept up with how they were doing. It bothers me to go home on Fridays and see just how far we have fallen in the past few years. I know that Coach Kinner would do a great job and I hope that he gets the job. Coach Allen was/is a good coach and I know that he is going to take the blame for everything that has happened, but a coach can not force kids to play. Some are going to say that the kids didn't want to play for him, but as for myself, I loved him as a coach. Although he was never my head coach, I played for him while he was an assistant and thought he always had us prepared for Friday night. However,since he is gone, Coach Kinner is the best choice for Paintsville. He is a Paintsville product and has a passion for the game (just watch him on the sidelines on Friday night).
As for the assistants, no matter who the HC is, if they don't ask Coach Chirico to stay on the staff, then they are making a huge mistake. He has proven over the years that he is worth his weight in gold, both on and off the field. Coaches do so much behind the scenes that it is impossible for the average fan to even understand, and Coach Chirico is someone that every HC NEEDS on his staff. I love Paintsville and want nothing but the best for our program. I hope Coach Kinner gets the job because I know him and I know he has a passion for the Tiger program. I am not saying that Coach Allen didn't have a passion, in fact I know he did, but for whatever reason it did not turn out the way everyone wanted. Paintsville is a small class A school and we need ALL athletes to play every sport. We need to reach out to our fan base to have a better atmosphere on Friday nights to make it exciting for our boys on Friday nights. Heck, if it were possible I'd let the student body in free to ALL home games. I have so many ideas that I could go on forever, however, its not up to me. It ALL starts at the top and I'm not talking about the next HC, it is going to take a total group effort to get back to the "good ole days". It is not too late, we have won a regional championship 2001 and went to another just 3 years ago.(and outplayed our opponent in that game). We have the athletes in our school to compete, but its the job of the Big Blue Nation as a whole to get them on the field.

Great Post...:Thumbs:
