I saw this on another site and while watching I see that my 1st HS Coach Robert (Bobby) Smith passed last year. Coach lived in Fort Walton. He was a Co-Captain of Coach Bryant's 1958 team. He was one classy guy. Our 1st meeting (1964) his 1st statement was "I am your mentor and not your buddy".
I lived in Destin from 2003-2010 and we played golf several times and he was a smooth golfer and a great athlete.
He had myself (QB ) and my best friend ( PK) and Coach kick FG's from the 15. If he beat us we got a lick. If we beat him we got a lick. What can you say.
Johnny and I visited Coach and Martha (wife) and I was telling her that Coach didn't give us water until after practice. Martha said (Bobby is that true?). Coach said ( I don't recall it that way". Martha said (If Paul says it then I believe him). A win for me.
RIP Coach. You were a big part of my life and I will never forget you.
