On this anniversary of "Coop's" passing, he is still remembered as my dear friend and closest consultant as a coach on my staff. "Coop" set the bar high as a defensive coordinator and more importantly as a FRIEND !! Think about him often.

I haven't seen Coach for 30 years, but was saddened to learn of his passing. What an honor and blessing it was to have played for him at Fay and Normandy. See you on the ultimate field someday, Coach!
