liven as he nears the D-1 all-time victory mark, Penn State head coach Joe Faterno reveals that there’s more to college football than -winning. man behind the thick Coke-bottle glasses isn’t interested in the numBrs: two national championships, four national title appearances, five Hdefeated seasons, 20 bowl victories, 35 seasons as head coach, 51 years H Penn State, 317 wins entering the 2000 campaign. H Sure these numbers are impressive. What an understatement! ^ Indeed, the man wearing the black sneakers, thick white athletic socks ^|d rolled up pants will even tell you that he has no time to think about ■^siting Paul “Bear” Bryant’s all-time record for victories among Division I coaches, which stands enticingly close at 323. The thing is, the more you hear him speak, the more you realize that this 73-year-old father of five, grandfather of five, and teacher and mentor to thousands is not simply serving you a heaping slice of humble pie. I mean, how can'tyQu care about all these accomplishments? Well, all right, the man who majored in English literature during college, snd counts Virgil and Homer (not Simpson!) as writers who have had a big influence on his thinking and coaching, admits the numbers are “nice and that winning certainly beats losing any day, but... Those things are for his players and Penn State fans to rightfully revel in. The man wearing the trademark windbreaker prefers to focus on upcoming games, on making sure that his players are prepared. Always prepared. And not just between the lines. (Did I mention 14 Hall of Fame scholar athletes nnd 21 first-team Academic All-Americans?) The words “teacher” and “mentor” are used far too liberally when refer ring to coaches, but the man has delivered, without pretense, for more than 3 half century. Besides, you don’t mince words when describing a man who grew up amid the teeming streets of Brooklyn during the 1930s and early40s playing ball with guys named Lombardi (yes, that family). What you see is what you get. How cliche. Joe Paterno, most definitely, is not. There is so much more to this man than meets the eye, even if the most casual fan can easily pick him out among the 97,000-plus individuals packed into the confines of Penn State’s Beaver Stadium. Everyone knows about the numbers. Let’s move on.

Joe Paterno (left) and his brothei; George, led Brown to an 8-1 season as college seniors.

nate that I played for two coaches who had a lot of confidence in me. My high school coach let me call the plays, even in the huddle. When I went to college—in those days you could call most of the plays—I think doing that gave me some idea of some of the problems that a coach would have in laying out a game plan. Plus, I was fortunate enough also to be able to play defense. I played safety and quarterback. I think understanding the problems on both sides of the ball was a big help to me, though I think just play ing football would help you as a coach.

graduated from Brown, I owed some money and I didn’t want to borrow any more to go to law school. Coaching was an opportunity for me to start over finan cially. So it wasn’t as tough for me as it was for my mother. She said, ‘What did you go to college for? You wanted to be a coach, you didn’t have to go to college!’ I thought I’d coach for a while and make a little money, then go to law school at Boston University, but, obviously, I got hooked on coaching.

jOne andOnlii football against each other in Brooklyn. Plus. I played against coach Lombardi’s high school teams when he was over at St. Cecilia’s [in New Jersey]. He had a big impact on me. I also spent some time at the Cleveland Browns camp with Paul Brown and studied the way he taught. I think he was one of the great teachers of the game. And Bud Wilkinson, with his organization and approach to developing skills. I watched [former Alabama head coach] Paul Bryant and the way he handled himself. You know, it’s a little bit of everybody. You take a bit from this guy, something from that guy. I think you are always trying to make yourself better. TDI: So the learning never ends? JP: When it does, forget about it, you're on your way down. TDI: Does being a coach and a teacher go hand in hand? JP: Absolutely. I don't think you could be a good coach with out being a good teacher. You've got to understand your sub ject. You've got to organize how you're going to teach and then be able to get your message across. 1 heard Woody Hayes once say that you don't just say something one way, you say it a couple of ways, because sometimes somebody gets "it" if you say something one way, but another person might need to heat it another way to have it make sense. In other words saying

the same thing but approach ing it in different ways. If yo^ can’t visualize what the player has to learn and what he has to do, and figure out a way to help him to learn it and do it, then you’re in trouble. That’s all teaching.

Or to say, ‘Hey, I played on a national champi onship team,’ when they did everything asked of them. I feel for the people who have played on [Penn State’s three] undefeated teams, that not only won during the season, but also ended up winning a big bowl game and still didn’t get,the recognition.

TDI: Do you see any of today’s younger generation of coaches stick ing to the profession for 35 years and achieving 300-plus wins, or have the demands for constant success eliminated this?

JP: Well, I don’t know whether it’s the demands for constant success as much as for immediate success that make the job so much tougher. When I first started as head coach, nobody really knew where State College was for a while. We didn’t have weekly press conferences. Now every game is televised and every week you sit down with different people and they want to know about what might happen and so forth. Then there are the talk shows and all the recruiting gurus. It’s so much more of a demand on your time than you used to have. When [former North Carolina head basketball coach] Dean Smith retired, he said it wasn’t the coaching, it was the signing of autographs, the personal appearances and all those kinds of things that were the reasons he felt it was time to get out. TDI: Despite all the demands, you and your wife, Sue, still devote a great deal of time on fundraising initiatives for Penn State.

to me and have given me a great life experience, as well as an opportunity to have a successful coaching career. You don’t do it by yourself; a lot of people help. The administration and alumni have been great. I’ve always felt that we needed to go out and raise private money. I just didn’t think the state was going to give us the kind of money we needed and, if I was going to ask people to give, I thought, well. I’ve got to put up, too. You know, put up or shut up. TDI: And retirement?

JP: I enjoy what I’m doing too much to think about retirement. It s not all fun and games all the time, but neither is retiring. Really, there’s nothing else I would rather do. ^ Sue and Joe Patemo led a 1994 campaign for the Penn State University Libraries that raised nearly 14 million dollars in private support

But for ofcsive Mi defensive coordinators, the challenges of run ning one side of the football can often be the most rewarding job they have in the game.

Everybody I woil^With has an area of expertise,” Gilbertson said. "It’s the coor dinators job to put it all together.

And that’s all during the sea-

Another coach who knows all about the rigors of being a coordinator is longtime University of Nebraska defensive coordinator Charlie McBride. Retiring after the 2000 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, McBride, who was with the Cornhuskers for 23 seasons, said, for him, being defensive coordinator was a team effort. I was fortunate because I was able to spend my whole career at one school,” he said. Most of the guys I worked together with stayed there all along. When you work like that you have four heads instead of one. I think it’s impor tant to get input from other coaches. I depended a lot on their expertise.

Even witti a law degree, Texas Tech head coac mike leach continues to live his dream job.

By Ed Gran ,

“We need to be fired up again.” Tailback Ricky Williams

Road Warrior Mike Leach traveled far and wide building his frequent-flyer mileage and resume as a coach before landing in Lubbock to run the Red Raiders program.

Texas (2000, Tech Head Coach)

Oklahoma (1999, Sooners Offensive Coordinator)

Kentucky (1997-98, Wildcats Offensive Coordinator)

Georgia (1992-96, Valdosta St. Offensive Coordinator)

Iowa (1989-91, Wesleyan Offensive Coordinator)

Finland (1989, Pori Head Coach, European Fbotball League)

California (1988, College of the Desert Assistant Coach)

California (1987, Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo Assistant Coach)

egrets are not for a man who spent time chasing his dream in one-store towns like San Luis Obispo, Calif., Pori, Finland and Mount Pleasant, Iowa. Mike Leach might think about life in a courtroom every now and then, but he never was much of a suit guy. Armani might as well have been a type of pasta. "I’m from Cody, Wyoming,” said Leach. “There’s not a lot of suit-wearing there.” There is, apparently, a lot of football. Leach is the new coach at Texas Tech, a program deter mined to belong among the nation’s elite and one that is able to provide the financial backing to make the goal a reality. Former head coach Spike Dykes led the Red Raiders to six bowl games in 13 years, but resigned last November. Why? Somewhere between the fine line of average and exceptional, between perfecting the role of unwant ed stepchild to those almighty Longhorns in Austin and posting seven straight winning seasons, an enthusiasm was lost in Lubbock. A hunger. A passion. “We need to be fired up again,” said Tech tail back Ricky Williams. Ironic, then, that the low-key, soft-spoken Leach was chosen to improve Tech’s place in the college game. And yet the man who attended Pepperdine Law School, whose video collection includes more John Wayne than John Travolta, always preferred numbers to words. Numbers like: While acting as offensive coordi nator at Kentucky and Oklahoma the past three sea sons Leach watched his system set 41 SEC records and six more in the Big 12 and NCAA. His mind was sharpened while attending BYU, where a chronic ankle injury ended Leach’s playing career before it began. Still, he kept tiny notebooks full of coaching methods and techniques that had

Prc facilities and locker rooms have also been vastly improved. There is, for the first time in years, a vision.

HEN THE SUBJECT OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S ALL-TIME

winningest coaches is discussed amongst football aficionados, legends like Eddie Robinson, Bear Bryant, Pop Warner and Joe Fhterno easily come to mind. But a name not easily recognizable tops the list as the win ningest active coach. That person is John Gagliardi, head coach of the Saint John’s University (Div. Ill) Johnnies in Collegeville, Minn. With 364 career wins at the collegiate level, Gagliardi ranks second only to legendary Grambling head coach Eddie Robinson, who won 408 games in his illustrious career. "It’s been such a long time that I can hardly remember how I started," says the 73-year-old Gagliardi. As if Gagliardi’s 364 career wins isn’t enough of a story, and the fact that he has consistently won football games for the last 47 years, the most interesting story is how his teams have been able to win. Gagliardi has been preparing his football teams to win games with a simple credo he calls "Winning With Nos.”

Gagliardi and his mates finished out the sea son and to his surprise, the administration asked him if he would be interested in coaching the next season. “I coached again the next year, and I knew because guys asked me ‘who do I block’ the year before that we had to do some things different so I didn't get killed,” says Gagliardi, laughing at the memory Gagliardi didn’t know it at the time, nor did he have a name for it, but those “different things” would turn out to be what has guided his football teams to 364 wins.

Rule Seven: Short practices-90 minutes or less

Gagliardi: When we first started, we had shorter practices. A few years back, I used to have two-hour practices but realized that we had good teams when we had shorter practices. So we went back to the shorter practices and it hasn't had any effect at all

Rule Four: No mandatory weightlifting program

Gagliardi: II they like to lilt and enjoy it, we certainly don't discourage it. We just think ilit's something you like to do—do it.

After six seasons coaching high school, Gagliardi moved to Carroll College in Helena, Mont. With three conference titles in four sea sons, Gagliardi caught the eye of Saint John's and he’s been there ever since.

Rule Five: No scholarships

We never had that [scholarships] and Division III didn't come into existence until the '70s. When I got to Saint John's, that's one of the reasons I got the job. They asked me two questions: Do you need or want scholarships? Well, we didn't have any at Carroll College and we were winning there without them. Well, I knew right there that I had the job. And the next question was: Can you beat St. Thomas and Gustavus? I didn't know who they were, but I wasn't going to say that I couldn't. Gagliardi:

Rule Six: No whistles

Gagliardi: No.. no whistles. I don't know why you need a whistle to get everyone's attention. Gagliardi's hard and fast rules, devised over 50 years ago, came in part as a result of his respectful, non-conformist personality. "There were always things I questioned as a coach, though not publicly, like why we scrimmage so

2000 season.

Gagliardi’s success is the result of more than mere football acumen and strategy. He focuses on methods and practices that are geared towards winning football games with out getting bogged down in minutiae that sometimes can confuse players. Once in a while I strayed from some of my rules, on the advice of assistant coaches, but overy time I did, we banged up one of our key goys,” remembers the coach. “Then I just thought. Why am I re-testing my great playors. I just have to get them to the game healthy."’ He concentrates on critical details of the game with emphasis on executing the funda mentals with purposeful repetition. John Gagliardi is a football professor who holds class on the football practice field and has his methods tested every Saturday in the fall by members of the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. There are a lot of ways to approach foothall, Gagliardi admits. “I’m not telling you what those other coaches are doing is wrong.This is just the way we do it, and we’re not ooking for converts. Joe Paterno certainly doesn’t need my advice.” Joe Paterno may not need John Gagliardi’s advice, though the Nittany Lion coach probably would not dismiss it. After all, Paterno started he 2000-2001 season 47 wins behind Gagliardi on the all-time list. ro Caraccioli is a freelance writer in New Vbrk.

Dove was a stalwart run blocker and defender in a time when most players played both sides of the ball.

early sixty years after finishing his playing career at Notre Dame, Bob Dove blazed a new trail at College Football’s Hall of Fame this past year when he became the first player ever admitted by way of the Honors Review Committee. It is akin to an Old Timer’s Committee found in other halls of fame whose job it is to make certain that worthy candidates overlooked during their years of eligibility are rewarded with enshrinement. And Bob Dove certainly fills that bill. He was an end for three varsity seasons at Notre Dame from 1940-42. and in 1941 and 1942, he was a consensus pick among All-America selectors (this meant that he was named to at least five major AllAmerica teams at the conclusion of those seasons). He was named college football’s Lineman of the Year by the Washington Touchdown Club at the end of the 1942 season. Ironically, Georgia’s Frank Sinkwich, his good friend and high school rival from Youngstown. Ohio who won the Heisman Trophy that year, was honored by the club as the nation’s best running back. Dove later had a distinguished career in the NFL, playing on championship teams with the Chicago Cardinals and Detroit Lions, and then spent the rest of his professional life coaching college foot ball at the University of Detroit, Hiram College and Youngstown State. Playing end in the early ’40s was a dif ferent deal than it is today. A team nor mally threw just a dozen or so passes in a game, about 20 percent of its total offense. So there was little opportunity for an end to roll up big numbers or become the fea tured performer. Rather, his primary job was as a run blocker and defensive player-teams in those time played oneplatoon football so it was not unusual for a player to

“I was on the bomber squad, which covered kicks and punts, and against Georgia Tech, I twice missed a back named Johnny Bosch when he returned a punt for a touch down,” Dove said. “But when our coach, Elmer Layden, reviewed the game films, he was so burned up at the sen iors at their lack of effort. He noticed that I had not only been the first one down the field, but also had pursued Bosch back to our five-yard line. Forget that I had missed the tackles, he was so impressed with my hustle that he gave me the starter’s job. I never gave it up.”

defensive work, but he still caught 15 passes in 1941 when the Irish were undefeated and had another ten in 1942, three of them keying victories. Dove recalled that he became a starter at left end during his sophomore year almost by default. Frank Leahy became head coach in 1941, and Dove was a consensus All-America end. Yet Leahy, who always wanted his strongest and fastest play ers to be guards, considered him better at that posi tion than at end and made him a starter for 1942. He did so well in spring practice and preseason drills that he was projected as a potential AllAmerica guard by several preseason selectors. But a week before the opening game, Leahy put him back at left end when he realized that he could not adequately replace him. "‘Bob Dove, you are a better guard than you are an end, but you have to go back to end,’ Leahy told me. He had just scouted Wisconsin, who we were to play later that season, and he had seen their great H Boys backfield (Crazy Legs Hirsch, Pat Harder and Bob Hoskins) murder the opposing left end," Dove recalled. "He wasn’t comfortable with our left ends so I went back there for the entire season and made All-America a second straight time.” Oh yes, that season, he also made one AllAmerica team as a guard. ^ Jack Clary is a regular contributor to Touchdown Illustrated.

The Cardinals continue Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) play this afternoon, taking on the Pioneers of Marietta. It is Homecoming. Marietta (3-3) shares sixth place with Capital (3-3), each 2-3 in the OAC. Otterbein (1-5) seeks its first conference win. The Cardinals, under head coach Wally Hood, who is in his sixth season with Otterbein, came so close, but, for the third time this season, dropped another heart-breaker, losing in double overtime, 27-21, at Baldwin-Wallace last Saturday. Two weeks earlier, Otterbein took Wilmington down to the wire before losing, 24-14. It was 17-14 going into the final minute of play. And a week before that, the Cardinals dropped a tough 129 decision in miserable field and weather conditions at Capital. Marietta, under head coach Gene Epiey, who is in his tenth season with the Pioneers, tallied the game’s first 38 points and never looked back on its way to a 52-21 win over Capital last Saturday in Marietta. Kenneth Sasu, who leads the OAC with 1,067 rushing yards, rumbled for 170 yards and three touchdowns on 45 carries against Capital. Shawn Taylor completed 22 of 32 pass attempts for 254 yards and three touchdowns, two of those going to Todd Miller, who made six receptions for 118 yards. Marietta’s other conference win came against Heidelberg, 39-11, at home Sept. 23. The Pioneers have dropped confer ence games (all on the road) at John Carroll, 42-35, Muskingum, 31-29, and Mount Union, 54-14. Otterbein, meanwhile, tallied a season’s high 340 yards of offense at Baldwin-Wallace. Freshman quarterback Aaron Powell turned in his best game, completing 22 of 38 for 262 yards and one touchdown. He scored on a two-yard run in the first overtime period. Freshman wide receiver Kenny Mock made seven receptions for 113 yards, including a 41-yarder for a touchdown. The Cardinal defense, led by inside linebacker Jake Bruner and free safety Seth Watson, forced four B-W turnovers. Bruner made 14 tackles, three unassisted, and forced a fumble. Watson, with 13 tackles, made the defensive play of the game— intercepting a Dan Larlham pass on the Otterbein nine (42 seconds remaining in the fourth period) to send the game into overtime. Following Baldwin-Wallace, Otterbein travels to Heidelberg to battle for the Rhine River Cup. In 1992, Otterbein and Heidelberg played to a 7-7 tie in the first-ever collegiate game played in Germany. The two teams have been playing for possession of the Cup ever since. The Cardinals have held the cup for two straight seasons. Cardinal Notes Last Meeting: Otterbein capped off its best season since 1981,

recording its seventh win with a 37-14 decision at Marietta in the final game of the season. Shane Rannebarger rushed for 136 yards to become only the second Otterbein back to rush for more than 1,000 yards in a season. Team Leaders: Otterbein ranks second in the OAC in pass

defense (yielding 188.3 yards a game), turnover margin (positive 0.5 a game), and net punting (35-yard average); third for kickoff returns (20.8-yard average) and fourth for punt returns (10.8-yard average). Individual Leaders: Brett Dorsett leads the OAC with a punting average of 40.6 yards. Michael Moss sits third for punt returns (10.8-yard average), and Rannebarger ranks fifth in rushing (75.2 yards a game). Otterbein Captains: Seniors Nick Neria, Joe Simmons, Jake

Bruner and David Ritchey. P-11

Otterbein “O” Club "Serving Otterbein College Athletics Since 1955" The “O” Club & “O” Club Foundation Established in October 1955, the Otterbein “O” Club is the athletics booster association affiliated with Otterbein College. Working closely with the athletics director, the “O” Club strives to enhance the efforts of the department by assisting with special purchases, hosting events, and building booster support. The “O” Club also owns and maintains a small fleet of vehicles used to transport athletes to their events, including the motor coach donated to the “O” Club in 1987 by Dorothy McVay. The “O” Club Foundation was established in 1981 to provide a permanent source of income to the “O” Club. Donations to the Foundation are perma nently invested. Supporters who have contributed $1,000 or more are considered Foundation Members. Former “O” Club President Robert “Moe” Agler initiated the Hit a Million Campaign in 1995 to raise the Foundation’s total assets to $1 million by 2001. Today, through the generosity of many “O Club supporters, the Foundation is nearing that goal. The Otterbein “O” Club is a non-profit corporation. Although closely affiliated with Otterbein College, the “O” Club remains a separate 501(c)(3) entity. Invitation to Become an “O” Club Supporter Unless otherwise noted, “O” Club events are open to the public. The “O” Club encourages individuals and companies who have an active interest in sup porting Otterbein College athletics to attend its various social and fundraising events and contribute regularly.

and LaVell Edwards visit with each other, the teasing begins. Nielsen takes aedit for Edwards’ success, while the old Brigham Young coach counters that the gunslinging quarterback would have been nothing without the proper guidance. "He tells me that he took a wish bone quarterback and made him into an All-American,” Nielsen said. “I tell him I made a bad coach into a winner. When Edwards took over the head coaching job at BYU in 1972, the program was virtually unknown and certainly medioae.

In 1984, BYU actually won the national championship, confounding those who considered its wide-open style of play a mere curiosity and certainly unwor thy of such a lofty distinction as a number one ranking. Now, as Edwards completes his final year at the helm, we can look back at him as an irmovator and a vision ary.

oving ers. Southern California has produced some great tailbacks. At BYU, the glamour position is under center. Nielsen, Marc Young, Jim McMahon, Steve Young, Robbie Bosco. TV Detmer, John Walsh and Steve Sarkisian accounted for miles of passing yards and scores of wins. Without Edwards, none of those passers would have attended Brigham Young. Since he was a defensive coach by training, Edwards knew how hard it would be to stop a creative passing game. So, he hired Doug Scovill and gave him the offense's reins. Later Mike Holmgren and Norm Chow would craft the potent air attack. "When LaVell came in, he decided to throw the football, and though they weren't very good at it the first couple years, and it would have been easy to say, ' Let’s go back to the running game,’

some argued that the Cougars didn’t deserve the national title, BYU finished atop both wire-service polls and had an unassailable claim to being the best team in the land. That year produced plenty of landmarks. Edwards was voted nation al Coach of the Year. Bosco led the nation in passing yards (3,875). BYU was even 10th overall in defense. It was a magical year and put a stamp on the program’s rise to a spot among the nation’s elite. Even though BYU had won a lot of games and beat some good teams, the 1984 season gave us the exposure and press we needed,” Bosco says. “The amount of pubUcity — good and bad — that went with winning the national championship buHt us up as a big program.” BYU didn’t win another national title under Edwards, but the Cougars continued to thrive. There were All-Americas and trophy winners. And there were big victories. Huge victories.

When LaVeli came in, he decided to throw the foothall, and though they weren’t very good at it the first couple years...he had the foresight to keep it going.” he had the foresight to keep it going,” says Bosco, who is in his 11th year as a BYU assistant. “I think he saw this 10,15 and 20 years down the road.” BYU’s attack incorporated many of the tenets of today’s popular West Coast offense, which relies heavily on quick reads, accurate throws and short-to-mid-range passes. Though many considered it revolutionary, particularly since teams like Michigan, Oklahoma and Ohio State were barely attempting 8-to-lO passes a game, Nielsen believes the BYU offense was truly a reflection of Edwards’ somewhat moderate nature. "You look at LaVell’s lifestyle and demeanor, and he’s a solid-asa-rock, conservative person,” Nielsen says. "Then, you see the BYU offense, and it looks so wide-open. But we saw it as a conservative offense, because of the decision-making process we went through. "Once you get a feel for the offense, unless you’re totally over matched, whatever decision the defense makes is wrong. Once you get the system down, it’s hard to stop.” Edwards’ success at Brigham Young came quickly and built steadily. Within five years, BYU had already won a WAC title (’74), and the Cougars were fixtures among the nation’s leaders in pass ing and total offense. In 1982, Cougar Stadium was expanded to 65,000 seats, nearly doubling its previous 35,000-seat capacity. 'IWo years later, the impossible happened. Brigham Young went 13-0, won the WAC title and beat Michigan in the Holiday Bowl. Though

It was almost as if the nation’s football establishment was rooting for the Hurncanes to thrash BYU, as punishment for the 84 national title. In came the mighty Canes. Out came Ty Detmer’s arm. Brigham Young 28. Miami 21. That was huge, says Bosco, who was a first-year assistant at BYU that year. They came in and were ranked number one, defending national champs and thought nobody could beat them.” Detmer was amazing that season, throwing for an NCAArecord 5,188 yards and 41 touchdowns. He won the Heisman Trophy and the Davey O’Brien award as the nation’s best quarter back. Detmer would finish his career one season later with 62 NCAA records and 15,031 yards of passing. Brigham Young was no longer considered a curiosity. It was a fully-made member of the college football elite. The numbers and records don’t fully represent Edwards’ legacy. His impact on college football can be seen in how he helped elevate an entire conference — the WAC — from an outsider to legitimacy. It lives in every school that throws the ball 40 or 50 times a game. Sure, it s popular now, but back in the 1970s, nobody was traveling by air. Edwards was a pioneer. He leaves with a pile of wins, a slew of great players who blossomed under his direction and the satisfac tion of knowing that he built a small program into a giant by taking a chance and sticking with his decision. When this is all over, his name will be spread over the state of Utah like Bear Bryant’s is in Alabama,” Bosco says. Not bad for an old defensive coordinator. ^ Michael Bradley is a freelance writer in Pennsylvania and regular contributor to Touchdown Illustrated.

STORY

IDurraii State lias had its fair share of coaches come and go hi recent gears, but the school holds no grudges and welcomes such change with open arms.

eplace his native Kentucky twang with a French accent and one can imagine E.W. Dennison capsulizing the Murray State University philosophy as follows:

Fifteen years before Frank Beamer reached the National Championship game as head coach of Virginia Tech and its superb quarterback Michael Vick (inset), he was busy calling the shots at Murray State.

At Division I-AA Murray State, the approach favored in hiring and keeping football coaches is as far removed from conventional meth ods as Paris, France, is from Paris, Kentucky. Want to coach at MSU? Expect a rigorous inter view process that involves, it seems, a multitude of individuals rivaling the cast of a Cecil B. De Mille epic. Want to leave MSU for a Division I school? Expect university officials to give you their blessing. Mike Gottfried, Prank Beamer and Houston Nutt all used Murray State as a springboard to the major college ranks. They won regularly at MSU, were bid a fond farewell when lured by the siren call of Division I and continued winning in a big-league envi ronment. Nutt and Beamer, in fact, earned national coach of the year honors in 1998 and 1999, respectively. “It’s not that we don’t want our coaches to stay” explained Dennison, a former MSU linebacker who now serves as his alma mater’s athletic director. "It’s just that it seems we’ve had success catching that young guy who’s willing to do more and then move on to bigger and better things. He’s using us as a vehicle to get there. "He works that extra hour at night or drives that extra hundred miles to recruit. These guys have a burning desire to get to the next level. They come in here, they work their rear ends off and they put in the time that a guy who’s gonna stay might not.” In that sense, Murray State is more of a way station than a des tination. It’s understood that coaches are simply passing through on their way to a Division I position. "They know their coaches want to go somewhere else dovm the line,” said Gottfried, an ESPN analyst who coached at Cincinnati, Kansas and Pittsburgh after posting a 22-11-1 record and winning an Ohio Valley Conference title while at Murray State (1978-80). "They try to get the best person they can and keep him as long as they can. And if they lose him to another school, they’re gonna wish

tca u

vive le difference.

him well and go back and find someone just as good." Which is typically what occurs. One standout coach departs, another arrives. Gottfried packs his bags for Cincinnati and Beamer moves into his office, posts a 42-232 record and captures another OVC championship. Nutt joins the program and directs the Racers to a 31-16 record, a pair of conference titles and the first NCAA playoff victory in school history. Ask him about Munay State’s revolving door policy and Dennison shmgs his shoulders as if to suggest he's not both ered in the least by the changing nameplates on the big desk. “We don’t mind turnover; if it’s turnover for the right reasons,” Dennison said. With the deftness of a White House spin-doc tor; he even casts turnover in a positive light. After all, if coaches don’t stay long, complacency is unlikely to set in. So-called lifers might be inclined at times to kick up

Houston Nutt led Murray State to a 3M6 record and two conference titles before moving on to guide SEC giant iUlcansas.

thoir foot and rolax. But an ambitious coach who’s oagor to advancG, awaro that his chances of doing so hinge on his performance at MSU, will put in hours that would make a Japanese businessman blush. "There are two ways to look at it: Do you go out and get a guy that you think would be there forever or do you go out and get a guy that will work like heck, recruit like heck and try to have success so he can move into a higher-level program?" said Beamer, whose Virginia Tech team went 11-1 and played for the national championship last season. "I think the Murray State attitude is, 'Hey come do a good job for us and if you do weU you deserve to move on. And we’ll help you move on. Tb me it makes perfect sense. You get some guy in there who just wants to come and retire in that program, sometimes he may not work as hard as that guy who’s trying to move up. They want to get the guy who’s not sat isfied with just being there.” Murray State officials set themselves apart from most of their lower-divi sion brethren in that respect. The Racers’ hiring practices are as uncommon as a scrawny sumo wrestler “It just seems to me that a lot of times schools will hire a middle-aged guy who’s had some success, he’ll come in, put down roots and stay,” Dennison says. “There's nothing wrong with that. We just haven’t done that over the last four or five coaches. We’ve gone after a young, aggressive guy from a Division I school that has that Division I experience and has a desire to go back up to that level as a head coach.” Case in point; Joe Pannunzio, hired off the Auburn staff in January. He fits the mold,” says Dennison. Pannunzio also coached at Kansas, where he served under Mike Gottfried. Murray State welcomed Pannunzio into the fold after he survived an exhaustive interview process. How exhaustive? If Rick Rockwell’s past had been similarly scrutinized, his televised wedding to Darva Conger last sum mer would never have occurred. Hinng a head coach becomes almosta communal effort at MSU, with nearly every sector of the university involved. We did this last search just like we did the others,” says Dennison. Touctidown irtustrated.

“We got input from players, administration, faculty, staff and boosters. We gave everybody that comes in contact with the coach a chance to hear from each candidate, from people in food service to the people in the reg istrar’s office. It’s a long and tiring process, but it’s worked in the past, and I think it worked again this time.” Nutt, 17-7 in two seasons at Arkansas, including a Cotton Bowl victory over Texas on Jan. 1, still shudders when he recalls his MSU interview. Senate confirmation hearings aren’t as grueling. "Murray State had the most thorough interview process I've ever seen,” Nutt said. "The first night you talked to Racer alumni and to the players. The next morning at 7:30 a.m. you’re there in front of a selection commit tee and you’re answering questions from A to Z, from discipline to philoso phy to recruiting—everything. What’s your vision for this program? What are your goals as a coach? What are you gonna bring to the table? The last part of the interview they brought in all the 'TV and radio stations around that area to see how you handled the media.” It’s an illuminating process, and not only because of the bright televi sion lights trained on each candidate. MSU officials leave no stone unturned in their search for the right coach, which just might explain why the program continues to flourish. Says Gottfried, “People could find out a lot about how to hire coaches from what Murray State does.” The school’s approach is decidedly different from that favored by most Division I-AA universities. But as E.W. Dennison might say, in his best Kentucky twang,

espite consistent success in football, it’s basketball that brings Murray State the most national acclaim. The Racers have won seven consecutive Ohio Valley Conference champi onships—12 of the last 13 overall-and have made seven NCAA tournament appearances since 1990, more than any other OVC school.

So lofty are the standards at Murray State that last year’s 239 record was regarded as nothing more than ordinary. After all, it didn’t quite measure up to the scintillating 29-3 and 27-5 records fashioned the two previous seasons. Over the past five years, Murray State teams have compiled a .766 winning percentage in basketball compared to a .741 figure in football.

HALL “John Wooden was absolutely unstinting with his time and knowledge.” Terry Donahue

Forest Evashevski was a rela tive “coaching baby" when he retired in 1960 at the age of 42 after just a dozen years on the job at Hamilton, Washington State and the University of Iowa. During that time, he accumulated a 68-35-6 record, including 378-2 in his last four seasons with the Hawkeyes. That was enough to get him elected this year to the coaching wing of the Hall of Fhme. Many believe he also belongs there as a player. His excellence as a blocking back for Michigan between 1938-40 proved vital in helping the Wolverines’ running back, Tom Hannon, achieve AllAmerica and Heisman Trophy status in 1940. Evashevski soon became one of the sport’s great offensive innovators as his Iowa teams dazzled opponents with their wide-open play His ’58 team led the nation in total offense and set a Big Ten record by averag ing nearly 417 yards per game. Five of his teams ranked in the nation’s Top 10 and his 1958 team was voted national champions by the Football Writers Association. He also earned coach of the year hon ors five times, won two Big Ten titles and shared another.

Terry Donahue reminded the nation that UCIA was as much about gridiron as it was hardwood. By Jack Clary

f ever a coach belonged in college football’s Hall of Fame, it is Terry Donahue, who won more games in both UCLA and Pacific-10 his tory than any head coach. Donahue coached UCLA for 20 seasons and posted a conference record of 98-51-5, among his overall coaching record of 151-74-8. Included in those impressive numbers was a then-record seven consecutive bowl victories, a mark that since has been surpassed by Bobby Bowden of Florida State. But there’s more: • His UCLA teams played in 13 postseason games. • He won five Pac-10 titles and four Rose Bowl contests as a coach. • His teams were nationally ranked in the Top 20 twelve times, and five of those were in the Top 10.

• He coached 34 first-team All-America play ers and more than 100 of his players were select ed in the NFL draft. Donahue s success in the ever-critical confer ence play is a source of great pride to him, par ticularly having a winning record over every con ference opponent. How did all of this happen? “Two reasons,” he said. "I had great coaches and great players. It’s that simple, because no coach can succeed without those ingredients.” He also praises the knowledge he received from his three football mentors: Tommy Prothro, for whom he played at UCLA in the 1960’s: Pepper Rogers, on whose staff he worked at Kansas and UCLA; and Dick Vermeil, for whom he also coached and who he succeeded as UCLA’s head coach in 1976. Dick taught me the value of organization and hard work, Donahue said. “Rogers was bril liant in his understanding and ability to impart technical knowledge of the sport, and Tommy Prothro made me believe in the tremendous importance of fundamentals in building my own overall approach to the game.” Donahue’s ties to UCLA started as a student-

athlete in the mid-1960s. He redshirted in 1964, before earning a starting spot at defensive tackle during the next two seasons, which was capped by a 14-12 win over Michigan State in the 1966 Rose Bowl. Of course, UCLA’s success on the gridiron coincided with the early reign of the men’s hoops program that went on to win 10 national championships between 1964 and ’75. Not sur prisingly, there is one more “mentor” to whom Donahue is grateful. “I can’t forget John Wooden,” he said, of the Hall of Fame basketball coach. “We were at UCLA at the same time and we often lunched together. Those lunches became like a classroom for me because he was absolutely unstinting with his time and knowledge. Many times I had him come to our staff meetings and talk to our coaches. There is no doubt that what we learned from him helped all of us to become better coaches.” ^ Jack Clary is a regular contributor to Touchdown Illustrated.

eachers in Cleats ESPn college Football gum and fonneT coach mike Gottfried talks about the coaching profession. Touchdown Illustrated: Players help make a coach successful, but how do you sustain that success for 10, 20 or 30 years? Mike Gottfriedl The key in some of those situations is that success breeds success. Once you get a program established it’s easier to recruit, facili ties are built a little bigger, enthusi asm is higher, and when you win, it’s almost like it becomes an attitude with the program. That’s how tradi tions are started because you win and recruit good people and attract good people. That’s the key. Gottfried called the shots from the sidelines before heading into the broadcast booth.

TDI: What are the special qualities that

distinguish good coaches from great, and great from legendary? MG: I think that coaches are teachers, first and fore most, because a confused player won't play They possess a strong, winning attitude, are concerned with small details and make sure nothing is missed Great coaches demand more of their players and bring them to a higher level. Loyalty to his assis tants and players, and honesty are the things that separate the great coaches.

TDI: Are coaches on a college campus regarded as teachers by the academic community? MG: Probably not. But the teachet/coach idea is so important. In the 1940s and 50s, coaches were hired as teachers and they coached on the side Now whether it's in the laboratory, arena or field, there is so much teaching going on. And not just teaching the game but teaching about life. You recruited those kids, you sat m their mom and dad's home and told them, 'This is what I'm going to do.' and 'I'll be there for your son ' That's why some people can't understand how sometimes when a player has a disciplinary problem the coach doesn't throw the kid off the team Th coach is trying to make something of the kid If throws the kid off the team he's giving up and say

By Tom

Caraccioli

ing 'I can't solve this problem.

TDI: Does a coach play a role in the athlete's life after college?

MG: I think he’s still a mentor. He can be a friend. I don t know how many years it’s been since I was in Norwalk-St. Paul High School and I still have some of those kids call me today. You want to stay in touch with your former players. I stay in touch with some of my old coaches. Some of my best teachers were coaches from grade school and high school.

TDI. What s your favorite coach story? ■ We played Oklahoma one year when I was at Kansas and we were big underdogs. I just had a feeling that we could win the game. I remember I an into Larry Brown (the Jayhawks basketball coach) and he asked me ‘What do you think?’ I tofe irn I think we’re going to beat Oklahoma. He thought that I'd flipped because we didn’t have a great team and Oklahoma was OKLAHOMA. We worked all week and even talked about how we’d c ahead at halftime. I took a chance there but we ere ahead at halftime and we ended up winning t e game. Everything worked out the way you Pfenned it. It was a perfect day.

I. What are the toughest parts about coaching■ Losing, throwing a kid off the team, or an rnjury. Losing because you work so hard every

eek to prepare for a team and you only g®^ one chance. Throwing a kid off the team ause you re admitting that we all failed irr at situation. With injuries, Steve Israel got urt one year when I was at West Virginia an just broke my heart because I saw hoW much hard work he'd put in.

TDI. What's the most rewarding? aptV graduate, going on in life, some 1?^ ^^Les you feel good that in -way you were part of his growing years. Tom Caraccioli is a freelance writer in New York.

Facilities Memorial Stadium (5,000 capacity), with a 400meter all-weather track around a natural grass football field, underwent major renovation in 1989-90. New outdoor track and field facilities were installed in 1988 through a $100,000 donation from Mrs. Dorothy McVay, from Westerville. In 1989, the gridiron was named in honor of Dwight “Smokey” Ballenger, a 1939 graduate of Otterbein. A $100,000 lighting system, courtesy of Cellular One, was installed in 1996. Additional outdoor sports facilities include tennis courts, and separate fields for softball, baseball and soccer. A 2.5-mile cross country course, which meanders Alum Creek and traverses woods and farmland, opened in the fall of 1995. Built in 1974, the Rike Center houses men’s and women’s athletics and physical education facilities and offices. The domed roof encloses an intercollegiate hardwood basketball floor with seating for 3,100; a tenth-

mile oval track with an 87-yard straightaway and seating for 600; nets and space to segment three courts each for volleyball, basketball or tennis; equipped weight training room; two handball courts; gymnastics space; and locker rooms for varsity teams and physical education classes. Additionally, nets serve to section off a baseball infield and batting cages. Conventional classrooms and offices are located on the perimeter. A $300,000 gift from the Rike family of Dayton inaugurated the capital campaign to finance construction of the Rike Center, which was built for about $1.5 million. Gifts from the Otterbein alumni and friends have helped provide educational opportunities through athletics for sportsminded students. Former student-athletes have continued their success in coaching, teaching, recreational and professional fields—evidence of quality educational experiences offered at Otterbein College. 31
