Germantown hires Fairley's Gene Robinson, 28, as football coach


 

KHARI THOMPSON   | Memphis Commercial Appeal

Germantown has hired Fairley's Gene Robinson III as its next head football coach, the school announced Monday.

Robinson, 28, is the three-time defending Region 8-2A coach of the year. Fairley finished 10-3 and made the Class 2A quarterfinals this season. 

Robinson starred at Whitehaven before playing at North Carolina. He has been coaching in the Memphis area since 2014.

He coached the Red Team to a 14-10 victory in this year's AutoZone Liberty Bowl High School All-Star game. He's the only person to play and coach in the game. 

Robinson replaces Tommy Ferrill, who was 2-9 in his only season season as Red Devils coach after winning a state title as an offensive coordinator at Horn Lake. Germantown was 2-9 last season and lost 56-12 to rival Houston in the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.

    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
