Morten was a bit soft, miss his restaurant at Lakeside though...

Wished he'd give it another geaux - lines would be out the doors now...

If your team isn't tough then you aren't running them hard enough or grilling and drilling them until they drop. I was fired by USM after their rugby tam went to the university crying about how mean I was as a coach. We were winning when I coached them and the team was defunct within a year of me getting my walking papers because they fell apart without leadership.

As I think back we've had some interesting Head Coach's over the years.
Mora was extremely memorable.
Then of course Ditka, memorable in a much different way.

When were you at USM? I graduated there, and remember watching the rugby team practice. Was there from 91-96

Brett Favre was the QB. It's been awhile. That is a great little college environment.

Edit: I finally gave up coaching and started refereeing full time. I was a tough coach but a surprisingly easy going ref with a strong military bark.
