Update on condition by Jimmy Watson in today's Gannett papers. Not good.
RIP Coach Laird. Thoughts and prayers to his family, and to the men he shaped through the years.

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.
Prayers to the family of Billy Laird. May he rest in peace.
Billy Laird was a great man who had a huge impact on the lives of so many. He will be missed by all that knew him. RIP Coach.
