The Coach would not like for it to be widely known what a softie he is, but it's the truth. That certainly does nothing to diminish the high regard with which our readers hold him, but it goes a long way toward explaining his passion for sports. And is he passionate! Dallas? Phooey! Chicago? Yay! The coach does not dillydally with these things. What's been most fun is reading his rants through the years as his kids grew up, his love life fluctuated, and his dogs wreaked havoc. Kinda like one of the family, our Coach is.
