Thomas Jones first year would have been Phil’s 10th as a the coach. His other 4 all featured a Jones at TB but those weren’t exactly one dimensional teams.

Warriors_XO 214 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Honestly the Phil Robbins argument is old and tired. It's not even relevant anymore. I think this original thread was about current coaches and the current thread digression is going nowhere at this point.....haha stu_bean and redtiger 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil is the GOAT!! Never said that, only that playing down his accomplishments and saying any decent coach could have accomplished what he did is severely shortchanging him as a coach.

According to four seasons, his record as HC at PV was 44-16-3 over 6 seasons (28-11-3 in the LPD)...3 playoff wins, all in 1982 and all on the road. He was 4-1-1 vs. Appalachia. He coached PV to their first LPD Title, their first Region D Title, and their first State Title...all coming in 1982. Best season was in 1982 as well with a 12-0-1 record.

This season is now over with a repeat 1-9 season. The coaching duties should be taken before too long. Not sure if it will be tomorrow or next week or when. But I would assume it’s coming in the near future. At least everyone in Gate City hopes. Bigdog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC_Quincy 582 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Turner will always get my vote. I'll never forget watching them pull into GC one night about 15 minutes before kickoff. They came in and kicked our hind ends, went straight back to the bus and left.

Assuming "district" as the LPD, coalfield demographics and different VHSL divisions over the years it's hard to make a fair comparison between coaches. Never played for Phil or Tom but played against them. Those two would have to be at/near the top of my list. Best high school game I ever saw Appy vs PV, I think 1997. Travis playn at Appy and Julius Jones at PV. There was a wall of PV blue and red jerseys down the PV sideline and I think around 25 dressed out for the Bulldogs. Appy came up short on the scoreboard that night but I will never forget how much I respected the Turner's and the rest of the Bulldogs when I left that game.
