Mullen Hires New Boys’ Lacrosse Coach

I know of a coach who many years ago when he was just a high schooler went to his principal and asked to be a player/coach in order to keep his school’s football team from having to drop the sport. His coach unexpectedly left the school and program to fight in a war that called a lot of our young men of that era to drop everything and lay it all on the line to stop an aggressor from taking over Europe. In that void, this student was persuasive enough that the principal agreed, and he and his teammates were able to enjoy another season of play. Fast forward seven decades, and that young player/coach ended up becoming the winningest football coach in NCAA history retiring at the age of 86 after winning 500 games, 4 National Championships, and becoming one of only two active coaches selected to the Hall of Fame. That coach’s name was John Gagliardi, and he coached the Johnnies of St. John’s in Minnesota for 60 seasons.
