Speaking as someone who celebrated 38 years of sobriety last October, let me say, never ever under estimate, the gratitude, humility and commitment to doing the right thing, that a person in recovery has. It doesn't matter if they have been sober for a year, 5 years or 38 years. They know that they have been given a gift, one that they likely didn't deserve, and they tend to try and do all that they can with that second chance at life. I know just as much about this man as you do. His life was just lived a lot more publicly than mine or the 1,000's of people I have met over the years at AA and NA meetings.
And just as Sabre was my witness four years ago when I proclaimed TH was the wrong hire, (and let me be clear, I had no idea who the right hire was, but I was sure as to who it was not), I want it to be clear now in publicly stating that I believe that there are parts of our new coach's resume that aren't apparent to all, that I think he is the right hire for this time in our program history.
Welcome Coach.
Also the first time he calls a fake punt and it gets blown up and you decide that it would be a good time to yell, "Oh hell he's drunk again" and you see a 6'4" senior citizen flying towards you, good chance you are gonna get cold cocked. Just sayin.
