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

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.
