Hammerlock3 Posted May 7 Posted May 7 Robie is a good dude. Harsher but way more real and way less scummy than most of his peers. 1 "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
Truzzcat Posted May 7 Posted May 7 What a good guy, V-tech always shows up on kids short lists for schools and I would imagine it's from the impact those coaches make on the kids. 1 I am the personal property of VakAttack
HokieDave87 Posted May 7 Posted May 7 The crazy part is that this isn't shocking at all. Robie is as genuine as they come. 1

Go Hokies Posted May 8 Posted May 8 Coach Robie is a great guy!!! Being a former Hokie wrestler and just finishing my 28th year of coaching in Virginia, I have been able to have some great conversations with him. Been fortunate enough to have coached two kids who wrestled for him and he was inducted to the National Hall of Fame the same night as my father. He is a very genuine person, and a straight shooter. The Hokies may never win a team national title, but there is not any other person I would want to lead us in Blacksburg. This is an unbelievably selfless act and resonates with me what a tremendous person Coach Robie is. 5

Amazing man. 2

New recruiting question by high schoolers, "Coach Brands (or any coach), how many kidneys do you have? Oh, and what's your blood type?" If it is a match, you pick Iowa because they have four matching kidneys. 1 Dispassionate Penn State grad and fan.
