The game of football was the fabric of my relationship with my father. I was very inspired as a young boy of my father’s football accomplishments. The game molded my father into the man he became and I wanted to follow in his footsteps. Football opened up many opportunities and options for my father as a young man. He was recruited by Coach Vince Lombardi out of Brooklyn Tech High School in New York City. Coach Lombardi was his offensive line coach at Army West Point Military Academy in the 1950’s. Coach Lombardi became the line coach for the New York Giants and drafted my father in the 1956 NFL draft. Injury at the end of his collegiate career ended his playing career prematurely as it did mine. My father was my inspiration. I was driven to win his approval and respect. He was super demanding, intense and aggressive. His goal in competition was always domination, perfection and winning. My father was also a graduate assistant football coach at University Of Virginia alongside Coach Don Shula in the late 1950’s before completing his military service. His roommate at West Point went on to become a General Of The Army (General John Nicholson Sr). My father was surrounded by greatness. I came to realize later in my adult life through all the tough love, my father always wanted the best for me. He wasn’t my friend, he was my tough loving Dad Coach who always had my best interest at heart ! Happy Heavenly Birthday Coach ✝️❤️💪 🏈
