Coach Laycock sounds like a great person who helped young men learn how to be better and consistently graduated players. Most importantly he passed up the opportunity to move up to provide a more stable environment for his kids.

I loved this quote from the story.

"“I was struggling academically,” he said. “I just wasn’t doing the job. He sat me down and said, ‘When you leave here, the rest of your life is going to be about providing for your family, about being someone your mom will be proud of. It won’t be about football.’"

Enjoy retirement sir. You have earned it.

Great story by Feinstein, one of our best college FB writers. It made me a bit verklemmt. My aunt and my late uncle both graduated from W&M in the early 50s and had season tickets for years. Tribe4SF met them. Here’s to Jimmye!xdrunkyx
