    How about his son Bill. He played DB at Tech.

    Update on condition by Jimmy Watson in today's Gannett papers. Not good.

    A great coach, and even better man and friend. He was committed to the kids as a coach and he showed it through his actions. He used to always preach "It's about the little things. Take care of those, and the big ones will take care of themselves." Not only great football advice, but great life advice as well.

    The coaching world lost a great one today. You will be sorely missed Coach.
