 I want to address some of the comments made about my website on this message board: I put "The Greatest 11 man football coach who ever lived" on my Dad's coaching website for fun. But to the hundreds of football players that he coached he is the greatest football coach that ever lived, and to me he always will be. The reason my father moved from town to town after making losing programs in to winners EVERYWHERE that he coached was because back in those days that is the only way a coach could get to a higher level of coaching. He went from a small high school, to bigger high schools and then My father went from being a High School coach to being the offensive line coach at the University of Wisconsin in 1969. Back in those days a football coach had to pay his dues. Back in those days the offensive line coach in D1 football made 10 thousand dollars a year, not the 80 thousand or so that they make now days.  The old 4-3 defense has two tackles on the strong side because the strong side LB is the last man on the line of scrimmage, it does not matter if you call the strong side tackle a tackle or a defensive end, but for all practical purposes and the proper terminology in that defense is to call him a tackle. As you can see after checking out my website, Kurt Warner is not the only player that my father has coached. He also coached next years' head coach at the University of Wisconsin, Brett Billemia when Brett played in the Arena Football league and he coached the head hockey coach at Saint John's and Olympic Gold Medal winner on the Miracle on ice team John Harrington as well as numerous other players. My Dad's claim to fame is making losing programs in to winners everywhere that he has coached, that is the true meaning of a "great football coach." They call pop "soda" out west here in Las Vegas and in other parts of the country. I am from Minnesota and when I say that I want a "pop" they say "What does that mean?  You can check out my Dad's coaching website out at: www.coachfootballnow.com   I look forward to posting on this message board, and don't hate!
