Ive known Bobby a few years, have followed his career and I can say firsthand that East Ridge has gotten not only a fine man, but a darn good coach. His record and accomplishments speak for themselves. He took teams with mediocre talent and made them winners time and time again, and I sincerely could care less what the "Shelby Valley click" thinks about him. Valley will never be happy with their coach, no matter who it is, and thats fact. You can call him loud, you can call him obnoxious, you can call him whatever you want, but you have to also call him a winner. A winner who keeps his kids in line, and will continue to keep them in line, stay on top of their academic progress, and turn them into winners. I am glad that he'll be back on the sidelines again, especially for a program that really hasnt had too much to cheer about. I talked to him today, and he's tickled to death about the future at East Ridge. So I send East Ridge a big congrats, and for giving him a MUCH deserved chance to coach again. .
