If the kids aren't willing to put in the time in the offseason to get stronger and faster, they're not gonna win and have fun. I garauntee you that if Paintsville would have won 7-8 games in the regular season this year, and went farther in the playoffs, they're wouldn't be so many people upset with Kinner. What is it, do the kids just think that because they are the Paintsville Tigers that they should be winnin games? It don't work like that. It takes hard work and dedication, year around.

Yes he was, but I think their records were about the same. I liked coach Allen, I played for coach Allen when he was our defensive coordinator. I like Jason, played with him when I was a freshman and he was a senior.

I do recall the players and parents not likin coach Allen either, same way they don't like Jason now. It's ridiculous. No they shouldn't have been runnin the offense they did this year, I agree with that. But ya gotta suck it up as a player and work harder. If these kids really wanna play football, they will get in the weightroom this winter to better themselves. They gotta have the mindset that they refuse to let anybody out-work them. That's where those losses they had this year will turn into victories next year. Look at Lawrence County, they didn't win a game last year. Now they are gettin ready to take their undefeated record to Bell County to play for the Region Championship. They didn't quit and complain about their coaches, they busted their butts durin the offseason and set goals for themselves.

Lawrence has had sucess for a coulple of reasons. Last year the coaching staff went up and down the hallways of the schools getting boys out for the team and off seson workouts. They took a tremendous interest in the youth football program. They kept the parents informed of all practice schedules weeks in advance. And most important the played a confidence building game schedule. Last year nobody wanted to go to Bell this year it is just another game on the LC mission. As a parent Ihave seen a complete transformation of a player that has low self esteem about himself and his team to a player that has physically and mentally developed into a true team player and BELIEVES no one can beat them. This attitude comes from good staff leadership.
