Coach Hart was a phenomenal coach as well.....until Tazewell turned on him, then i think he just gave up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_school_blue 247 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 If we are talking non-football. Then it's got to be Rick Blevins. He was an awesome coach and a better man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techfan 43 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Coach Mance, had Vaught my sophmore year and he didnt motivate us the way Mance did. Palmer was a good motivator too and Weiss has forgotten more football than most people around here know. As far as the statement about Rick Blevins for nonfootball I gotta say I wrestled for 4 years and Coach Barber was the best coach I ever wrestled for, he worked us hard and motivated us to. Plus he was just fun to be around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichlandsAlum 678 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 [ QUOTE ] What about George Brown? [/ QUOTE ] GB did a great job with the juggernaut that was RHS golf back in my day. But he abandoned us before we could reach our full potential. Although I guess I should also be grateful for the opportunity to be guided by the immortal Tim "Chappie" Rasnick.

Guest BlueBlue Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Well it may come as a shock but Wayne Hall was a good coach.Sure he didnt win a state title like some of these coachs but he made better people out of those who worked hard for him and gave it there all.Sometimes he might say things that steps on peoples toes but who doesnt.He was a good example of hard work he gave us the courage to do things people said wasnt going to happen for example the 05 Hurley Rebels football team.He told us that it was going to take hard work,sweat,blood,and time but if we gave it our all then we could be a surprise and it was one of the best teams from hurley.Sure noone went to a big school to continue there football careers but they had heart and if a team has that then noone can take that for you.

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 I thought my midget league coach coach taylor was a really good coach for athe jaycees, and chmara was really good, but in my opinion the best was coach hamer at fairview because he thought outside the box and was always thinking of ways to get the most out of every situation, or how to surprise another team. He was at central from a ways back when I was in 7th and 8th grade and coached at fairview for the last 2 years of the school. I recall a good friend of mine who played for him at central telling me how late in the game they were behind at 1 of the beckly jr high schools and he told him go in their and lay down after the play like he was injured to stop the clock. I always liked coaches like that who would do everything possible with every second and every play to earn a victory. He was never 1 would would sit back and wait to see what game the other team brought, he was 1 who would make a gameplan to dictate the game to the other team and put them on the defensive throughout. Perhaps not the best at some of the fundamentals, but crafty and prepared with an agressive plan. "Canit's a coward." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 our 9th grade fairview team also had coach barnett as oc and he had a really good gameplan and used sideline to sideline and a lot of unorthodox plays and formations. In my opinion he's 1 of the best people that ever was oc at bluefield, although he was only there for a year here, another there, on and off. If I'm correct he was in charge of bluefield's o on the '97 title team. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLU 10 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Great coach. Not sure about fully in charge, but definatly a tools for success. He is the best with special teams.
