Don't you just love a coach who cares for his student-athletes? I don't remember

seeing past coaches checking up on and waiting to see his players show up for classes.

 

 

Yes it's a sign of a good person and a good coach.  I think other coaches of ours have done likewise but it's nice to know Dan's of that frame of mind too.

This is actually quite common.

 

I do not recall the precise number, but the summer before the first Rose Bowl year of 1994...we had something like 13 players that HAD to pass all classes in summer school or they could not play.  Apparently there were many big names of that team under this pressure.

 

So the coaches were checking on every player, every day.  They all passed!

 

Later in 1997...the rumor is that our star running back that year had to pass a summer class, but had a hard time waking up.  So the coaches assigned would not wait at class, but actually go to his apartment and pound on the door.  He passed too!
