Re: Coach Mills

Coach Mills was a visionary and a pioneer.

One of the coolest things about him ... Each year in Japan, the best collegiate football player is awarded the Mills Trophy. The Mills Trophy is Japan’s version of the Heisman Trophy.

Rest in peace, Coach.

Re: Gary Andersen hiring Dave Baldwin as his OC

Coaches, like players, are always needing to improve too.

He very well may hav...
