In 1989, on the eve of the final championship game, Steve Fisher became the head coach for Michigan State. He and the team went on to win the championship. Even though they won Steve didn’t really get the credit for the game since he had just been hired the night before. With the next season fast approaching fans and critics were anxious to see if the new coach had good recruiting skills.

We’ve all had that time in our life that we were ready to give up, or quit because we didn’t care about anything anymore. Life seemed like it was getting to tough and nothing right was happening. This happened to me one time in particular that I can remember. In my senior year of football I had came across an injury in my knee. I had torn my meniscus in my left knee. It was one of the worst pains I had experienced in my life. I thought my final season was over. After learning from the doctor that I could still play but I would have to endure the pain when I played. While we’re in high school we start to get in these situations and have these sorts of feeling such as giving up and not caring what happens to us but that is not the answer to

879 wins in 36yrs of coaching, 2nd most in men's college Division I basketball history behind Bob Knight.

Bobby has coached many star athletes during his tenure as head coach including Florida State’s first Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward, Warrick Dunn, arguably the most popular college football player of the 90s, and Chris Weinke, the

Ever since I was young, I had always dreamed of playing college volleyball. After playing volleyball for 10 years college letters were finally beginning to flood my mailbox everyday and college coaches were sending emails to me left and right. This all began in January of last year. At my first tournament of the year in Columbus, college coaches were swarming the courts. They were like worker bees after the first bloom of spring. I remember crossing paths with one coach, in particular. That coach was Pete Hoyer of North Carolina State University (NCSU). I vividly remember greeting Pete with a smile and a simple hello. Pete Hoyer did not return the greeting.

The University of Nevada Reno’s Football program officially started fifty years ago in the October of 1966. At the same time the team was established, Mackay stadium was built which seated only 7,500 people at the time. After numerous amounts of renovations, the stadium now seats 26,000 people and the football games are very loud and exciting. Being a football player and student myself, I get to hear what other people outside the football program perceive of us as around campus when we win, lose, or just in general about the football program. Most comments and accusations I have heard have been false and negatively based. What most people do not see is the hardwork and dedication it takes to be apart of the football program and the impact it has on the coaching staff, the community, and also, the inseparable bond it creates between the players.

Depending on who you are talking to, many NFL players would take offense if told they needed to put some effort into becoming a little more like Johnny Football. However, head coach Dirk Koetter of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers believes that quarterback Jameis Winston should try and duplicate some of Manziel’s magic, at least from his days at Texas A&M.

Thad Matta has been one of the most successful coaches in the country at his time at The Ohio State University. Comparing him to Michigan State's head coach Tom Izzo, Thad Matta has a higher winning percentage, more regular season conference championships, and more conference tournament championships in his coaching career, which is also five years shorter than Izzo’s, according to sports-refernces.com. Then if you compare Matta to the past Ohio State coaches he easily surfaces into the top pair. Coach Matta is the winningest coach in Ohio State history (Brown). When he was hired in 2004 the buckeyes basketball program was in the bottom of the Big Ten conference. In

The staff combines to have an impressive thirty- two years of experience in the NFL. (Kenyon 1). Many coaches have also worked with head coach Harbaugh in his past coaching gigs, which includes his own son. Michigan has a plethora of notable names to their coaches’ roster. Names like Jedd Fisch, Tyrone Wheatley, Jay Harbaugh, Michael Zordich, Brian Smith and new coach Don Brown to name a few. Brown coached the number one defense in the nation last year at Boston College. He along with the other remarkable coaches has put together a defense that is unmatched anywhere in the nation.

In 1957, Brown was selected to join the Cleveland Brown squad and immediately joined the team’s training camp. Despite most professional football players taking the time to adjust the high level of play of the NFL, Brown quickly adjusted and made his presence felt. This showed another important quality of coach ability that Jim Brown possessed. Jim got better each game, day, week and season. His ability to be receptive to instruction, taking criticism and challenges to improve was outstanding. In 1958, Brown won the rushing title for the 1,527 yards he ran and tied the single touchdown record with 18. As years went by, Jim continued the onslaught, rushing on the ground and catching long passes into the end zone as teams watched. Between 1958

Jim was lower than 2 string at the beginning of the season, but dew to injuries of other players and hard work Jim worked his way up. Coach Schwartzwalder disliked Jim and tried to barry him but Jim in the line up until Jim got a chance. Jim fumbled and was sent to the bench. Later that season Jim got another chance and on his first carry scored a 54 yard touchdown. Jim rushed for 151 yards that game a new Syracuse rushing record. In the next game against Syracuse's rival Colgate Jim single handedly destroyed them with 2 touchdowns. Lead a successful senior year with multiple minor injuries, but never missed a game. Jim was the 6 over all pick by the Cleveland

A tragic hero is a self- acknowledged person who contains a tragic flaw, which sets into motion a series of events that results in the utter ruin and demise of the hero. Joe Paterno, former head football coach of the Penn State Nittany Lions, truly reflects this characterization. Paterno was well known for his own successful football career as both a quarterback at Brown University and coach at Penn State. He led the Nittany Lions to two back-to-back perfect seasons in 1968 and 1969, two national winning championships in 1982 and 1986, and 37 bowl appearances with 24 wins. Additionally, he coached five undefeated teams, and was later inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. Joe Paterno seemed to be living the life of a living legend,
