I've heard both, the good and bad. I've worked that way before and have experienced both. I believe it comes down to different circumstances and everyone has their own opinion. As with everything else, one incident can label a community or program. People had told me the same thing about Riverview last year but we never seen anything negative, people were nice and respectful.
I’m just telling ya what I heard from people sitting behind me! Pretty sure @MulDaddy can tell ya the same!
That was said. Some of the comments made by Richlands "fans" were more interesting than the game. I know not all fans talk, yell, or scream at the players and coaches during the game but some do and maybe out of frustration. Literally yelling at how the qb stinks, etc etc. is uncalled for IMO. These bleacher coaches that had sat behind us was really letting the comments fly. I've heard these guys before there, coming from a Tazewell atmosphere this was really unusual at a Richlands home game for me.
Being a former Bulldog player myself, I don't know about Marion being such a big rivalry game either. I do know things got pretty heated at the end of a playoff game over there in '87. If it was going to turn into a big rivalry, it would have definitely been after that.
My point was that with kids doing different sports and some doing two at a time, it's hard for them to specifically stay at weight lifting in which Colobro was monitoring. Tazewell doesn't have the number of kids to have a solid 50+ constantly lifting, the 20+ didn't satisfy his reasoning to stay. After 3 months I can't see the reasoning of just leaving, if it was personal reasons that's fine but to preach to the students that came everyday about dedication and building a better program then leave is just unprofessional IMO.
Under the impression that it was lack of participation from students in the weight lifting program. I guess with other sports going on it thins out, but I would think he would've thought of that coming in. There was a lot of excitement looking forward to the new season and different coaching, now we get to do it again. Tazewell needs to support the next coach and continue on, move forward.
My opinion, Colobro (or some other rumored coach) will handle the next four years mentoring the next coach. Most likely the MS coach if he wants it. At that time if the MS coach doesn't want it then we start this process all over again.
