GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Joshua Robinson, Northwest Whitfield
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach?"Probably this past season as we limped through our fourth game with injuries and finished with a 2-2 record. We fought back by having great character and hard work. We finished the year the No. 2 seed in our region. We played a well-coached and very skilled Grady team in the first round. We missed an extra point late in the game and lost, but it was the first home playoff game that Northwest had played in double-digit years." [Grady won 28-27.]
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why? "There are two that I would want him to play for outside of myself. Dwayne Hatcher, the offensive coordinator at Chattahoochee High School, is the main reason I am coaching today. He is a great Christian and leader, and I would want my son to learn football and how to be a Christian in football from him. The other is Mike Falleur. Coach Falleur is who I coached under the majority of my life as a high school coach. He was great in all aspects and garnered everyone's respect. ALL of his programs have always been successful!" [Falleur, Northwest's coach from 2002 to 2010, is now head coach of his alma mater Fort Smith Northside High in Arkansas.]
3. What is your favorite saying/motto?"Simple: Do your job on every play, and in the end the scoreboard will be in our favor."
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed?"I do not mind targeting calls on clear intent to injure a player. I do think the rules have changed too far and softened the defensive side of the football where you can't make a big hit on a receiver for fear of getting flagged and or ejected."
