We need him a part of our new coaching staff !
ReplyDeleteNo, we don't. We want him to stay at Miami, where he builds character in young men, where young folks look up to him, where he has established a tradition of not only winning but in being a great role model for a city of disenfranchised young people (girls & boys), where he knows how to teach and reach and preach the business of strength, morals and character, and where he brings hope. On many fronts these attributes are more powerful than winning. And while I know that winning is a great, big, giant part of "the game," so much more is riding on the term "winning." FAMU will be ok. I think Billy Rolle will be getting plenty offers (as he obviously has in the past), but for a multitude of reasons--far too many to list here aside from the ones already listed--I think he's where he wants to be. And Should Be.
ReplyDeleteRolle is one of the hottest coaches in the state of Florida. Go Billy!
