Much of what ThinBlueLine says may be true.

However, the program was going downhill under McGlone and it was time for a change. Maynard has some good wins so far with the win over Ashland at Putnam Stadium, 2 wins over Ironton, and last year’s win over Raceland. Granted, though, the 2 losses to Fleming, the loss to Greenup at home, and barely beating Bath at home have nearly nullified the good wins. As far as the playoffs go, he has had the misfortune of running into some of the best teams that Belfry has ever had. No Russell team ever would have competed with the last few versions of the Pirates.

I would wait about 3 more years before passing judgment, though, to see if the current coaching staff can produce good results with the talent they have coming up. Jachimczuk looks to be a good QB, Conley and Sharp can be a formidable backfield, Anderson should be a great football player, and there are some decent sized line players that can be developed.
