What some of you almost didwas cost him the job. This super is a tough guy who is going to make the tough decisions no matter how popular they are. I can reassure you that the other committee members felt no pressure, they were going to do what was right for the school so you can stop patting yourself on the back. From what I hear T won it yesterday in his interview where he even got emotional and committee members were touched by the things he said.

It's a wonderful thing to see him rewarded for all his hard work and dedication to the kids and program.Because Coach T has his fingerprints all over the program as it is right now, it will be a smooth transition to him leading the way.
