Coach Rob Best

[app73]

Saw an article stating that Coach Rob Best offensive coordinator under Jerry Moore had passed.

Died at age 71 in Denton, Tx as AD and coach at Pilot Point HS. Previously a QB coach at Buffalo and also a stint at N Texas. Heart Attack

Rob left Boone in 2002 or so. He and Jerry were very close. Stepson Craig Styron was a tough , and effective WR for us. I think he made the miracle catch to beat JMU up there in the late 90s.

Coach Best was an awesome source for high school coaches. He, Coach Horton, and coach Searles always had an open door.

It's really good to see some nice things said about Coach Best on here after he was dissed nearly every single day in the first while of the old Delphi Board even after he and another staff member or two helped save the lives of the cheer leaders one night on 105. Given, he did stay past his expiration date at App thanks to Coach Moore's loyalty to him and their longevity to gether. If it wasn't him, please excuse the post.

Anyway, RIP Coach Best and prayers for the family and friends..

It was Rob because many felt he was boring and predictable calling plays. I was told he was one of the best at preparing for a team but was just way too conservative and not creative in calling the plays.

With that said, Rob was a great man and a hard worker. He loved App and was indeed very close with Jerry Moore. I hate to hear he passed. RIP Rob Best.

I had heard that as well. I miss those 3 men from that point. I think the times started to pass him by when he left in terms of calling plays but I'm sure he was a great AD and I know he was a good guy. I hope we have coaches on staff now that have the same rep with HS coaches that Horton, Best, and Searles had.

Is the the same “coach Rob” that post on the message board?

I doubt it.
