I've only been at two schools, Colonel Crawford and Galion, and the kids have been great.

The wins are nice, coach-of-the-year awards are nice, the hall of fame is nice. But the award of coaching is when you get a wedding invitation from a former player, or when they stop in and talk to you after they've graduated. That's the ultimate, when you know you've had a positive impact on their lives.

Inexperience. We have a lot of positions open.

Over 25 years I've never gotten over seeing the tears and heartbreak in kids' eyes when you lose. Unless you win a state championship, you will have kids that have been crushed. You never get over it.
