    As I recall from years ago, team coaches taught regular curriculum as well. A history teacher might coach football after hours and on weekends. A math teacher might coach the school's baseball squad or cheer-leadingbsquad. But the school's core curriculum took precedence over the "extra-curricular." Or have I got it all bass-ackwards?

    One wonders how many $7.5 mil Math or English teachers there are?

    Woody Hayes

    "Hayes was a noted historian with a passion for military history. He held the rank of associate professor at Ohio State and took great pride in being able to teach during the offseason. He was as proud of his players' high graduation rate as he was of their success on the football field."
  • Old Woodie First time I saw a coach tackle opposing team member as he ran down the sideline! That error cost him his second love, football.

  • Packers survive second half comeback by Bears . Onward to Denver & Rocky Mountain High! Altitude may play a part in who wins?
    How about Buffalo & the snowball game?
  • Monday night football. I missed the first Qter, but second Qter was a field of turnovers! Looks like I'll be watching after half. 10 - 6 Chargers.
  • Did anyone other than myself catch Hurts 2 turnovers on ONE play? That hurts doesn't it!

    U of M fires head coach for behavioral issues.

    Kinda glad I'm not a football fan.

    Moore trouble
  • One more black mark against Michigander Teams. Not really the team players, STAFF!

    WI. did have the shoe box black mark many years back.

    And so it goes!

    I was shocked to read they were paying the guy $5.5 Mil a year to coach football! Is that what universities are about today? Any literature, math or history profs making anything near that amount?

    Yep. If academic profs made that kind of money we wouldn't have the Professor here running the show. :)

    Along another vein, that kind of money might go to your head whether coach or player. Must be a tough slog. Probably some serious "attitude problems".
