Robertson had some serious health problems this season. One week he was in the hospital in Nashville early in the week, and on the field with his team that Friday night. Robertson is a good man and he could coach my kid anytime anywhere. 

Don't know him personally, but that's what I hear from everyone who does...I wish him well and hope that all is well health wise. I also gained a lot of respect for him from the way he delt with some "cheap shots" at Wayne County. All coaches want to win...not all coaches truly run their program in the manner to make their players into better human beings.

First, coaches do not coach for the money...if time and paycheck were audited, picking up cans along the roadside would be more lucrative. Now to contradict myself... for the stipend offered at Riverside, there would have to be some connection or attraction outside the "job" for a desirable coach to apply. There's always the chance that you hit paydirt with an unproven hire (Scotts Hill found the perfect fit), but I would highly doubt that a coach of Comer's caliber would leave an established program like McKenzie...even to go "home".

from what I've heard comer wanted for job last time but riverside wouldn't match the money he was getting from Mckenzie

I have no Idea what Comer's salary is at McKenzie. I know what the coaching stipend is at Riverside and it's very small...the bad thing is, that they can't really afford to give all the coaches the raise needed to become "average" among area systems, and probably wouldn't just give the football coach that big of a raise without the other sports being included. There's a lot of pride and tradition associated with that program...if it's a priority to get a good coach there it can be done, but probably won't be a big name hire.

    • You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence.  4A has the best teams in Upper East TN.  Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.
    • Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl
    • I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.
    • Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton
    • My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
