It's OU vs TX week and I hate Texas Football! Here's a story of one of the scariest coaches I ever played for. Dick Winder was the OC at OU in the late 90's. He demanded excellence and made me nervous every day. He was always on me to "set the damn huddle", sprint to the line of scrimmage, snap the ball, and "owe me's". I greatly respected him and feared him. He demanded excellence. In my eyes he treated everybody the same from the walk-on to the all star. A great coach demands excellence, pushes his athletes past what they "think" they can do to be as good as the want to be. A father must help to set the vision for what "can be" for his kids and help build the plan to achieve their goals.
