Football Coach

The Resume

    (August 22, 1940- )
    Born in Riverview, Michigan
    Head coach for the University of Colorado (1982-94)
    Record: 95-55-5
    Won the Bear Bryant Award for NCAA coach of the year (1989)
    Founded the Christian men's group Promise Keepers (1990)
    Quit coaching to focus on Promise Keepers full-time

Why he might be annoying:

    His one co-championship at Colorado was tainted by a victory over Missouri that required five downs to make the winning touchdown (October 6,1990).
    His daughter Kristy gave birth out of wedlock to two children fathered by Colorado players.
    Over a three year period (1986-89), two dozen of the players he recruited were arrested on charges ranging from criminal trespass to rape.
    That included the fathers of Kristy's kids: Sal Aunese served 14 days for misdemeanor assault and Shannon Clavelle received an 18 month deferred sentence for assault.
    He campaigned for a Colorado state amendment that would overturn local laws banning discrimination against gays and lesbians, and called gays 'stark raving mad.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He walked away from a $350,000 year to follow what he considers a calling.
    He admitted, 'I wish I hadn't been so focused on winning football games that I didn't spend more time with my daughter.'
    After Sal Aunese died of cancer at age 21, he helped Kristy raise their son, Timothy Chase 'T.C.' McCartney.
    T.C. said of him, 'He taught me how to be a man. I didn't have that father figure, but he really stepped in for me.'
