I have always loved his interviews. He always says what is on his mind no matter if it is wrong, right, or if it hurts any ones feelings. Seems like Thurman at VHS is trying to take that place but he will never be another Robbins!

Congrats,, I met him one time at a baseball game at PVHS. He took me and my buddy into the school and showed us the facilities. We shared some stories about Christiansburg and knew some of the same people and businesses. We just missed each other by a few years, ha.. He is very genuine and pleasing to talk with. I have no opinion one way or another as a coach. But he has accomplished a feat that very few coaches will ever attain.

Coach Robbins is a great coach and a great guy. Some people had problems with him but he was great to me.

I think Phil is a Great Coach. The mans been nothing but good to me since I was in school back in 89-90 and I'm not one of his past players. I've enjoyed watching him and the Vikings through out the Years. I've cheered him and I've jeered his calls at times. Love him or hate him, you still have to respect Him. I've enjoyed Him being at Powell Valley

Played for the man years ago. I promise you no other coach or school in the area takes care of their kids as far as food, equipment, weight room, clothes, brand new gear every year, like Phil Robbins has done at pv. Great Coach, anyone who says otherwise is foolish, has an agenda, or just mad you yourself or your son didn't get to play. Say what you want about him, MANY LPD and Regional titles, 7 State championships, and 1 state-Runner Up. Speaks for itself.

This is very true, not one of our kids ever got hurt due to old or faulty equipment. The man protected his players and had them better prepared from an X's and O's standpoint than any other coach in the area. If you play at PV, you don't realize how lucky you had it until you get older and see some of the equipment, facilities, and coaching other schools have.
