I'm certainly honored and flattered about the responsibilities placed on me by the Board. I'm only hopeful that we can continue moving this league in the right direction.

I was so flattered and honored that they liked me so much. It really worked out to be a wonderful friendship,

The board has been forced to make some drastic cuts across the board. Athletics has certainly done its part in that regard.

It looks as if it should be a very smooth process, and we're certainly hopeful for that,

I've certainly played games that provoked a real emotional response or serious thought processes.

I was very fortunate to coach with Chick Campbell. He gave me a lot of responsibilities there, so now being the head guy at North is not a total shock. It made it easier on my part. I am lucky to have a good staff with me. They're willing to put a lot of work in (to start to) build this program.
