My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Coach Stanley. As a high school student, I attended the OSU Football Camp in 1975 and was able to spend some time with Coach Stanley and the other coaches. As a OSU student the next year I planned to walk on. I wanted to play for him but was unable to due to a shoulder injury from high school. I learned alot from Coach Stanley, even from a distance and have fond memories of him throughout his career. God bless you all.

To continue I played for Jim when Cutchin was head coach. I think I tried my best for Jim while I was there. We both agreed we could have done things in a different way. Talked about it last fall !!! I pray for God to help the family. This is a difficult time. God Bless
