Guest Coaches program honors faculty, staff

12/11/2009 - 10:46

The guest coach program started 25 years ago as a way to give faculty, staff and administrators an opportunity to experience game day the same way as players and coaches. The guest coaches eat meals and attend all the pregame meetings before traveling to the stadium to tour the facilities. They are on the sidelines for the game and then attend a postgame festivity with the head coach. The guest coaches are chosen by the academic support group on recommendations from student athletes and faculty members.
