    That is a REAL football coach. Cares about his players as if they were his own kids. Cried on camera showing his heartache for his player. The entire team going to the funeral. If any of us could’ve been so lucky to play on a team like that one coached by such a great man we’d have all been very lucky and blessed. Great job coach. You have a great group of young men that no doubt will all be great men when they leave college.

    I played a rugby game the day after my dad passed away, honestly, having something like that to play for, dedicating the game to dad, I've never played such an amazing game. I made 6 line breaks, set up 4 tries. Felt like he was playing for me, because he was an amazing player during his high school days
    Also lost my dad to cancer
