A friend of mine in Paintsville said Jim Tom Allen has resigned as Paintsville head coach. Can anyone confirm this one? My nephew played for them two years ago and thought highly of him.

I have heard the same thing.

This sad but true. He is a good coach

What happened?

Umh...

Will BMR take it over again???

Probably Not

What I hear is that it has already been decided that Jason Kinner will be the next PHS coach.

I am hearing the same. All I know for sure is that Coach Allen was forced to step down, but he will remain at Paintsville as a teacher, only. Some other names I have heard are: Jimmy Danials, B.J. Ward, and Ronnie Wells. However, I think the job will be offered to Coach Kinner and he will of course gladly accept.

No.

Forced? Why?

Forced? Why?

 

I am sure most are going to point to his team's performance over the last two years. 5-6, 6-6. With those wins coming against the lower level 1A schools, mostly. Pikeville dominated Paintsville the last two years, and fewer and fewer kids were coming out for football. I don't completely understand the move because Coach LeMaster had some really rough years at the begining of his career and he ended up just fine.

Good luck to Coach Allen.

So I take it that Chuke wouldn't even be considered for the job even though he's in the Paintsville School System?

Let's just say there is a reason he did not get the job back in 2005 and that reason still has a major say in what goes on in Paintsville.
