Decision

At the end of each of the 41 seasons I have coached football I sit down, a few weeks after the campaign is over, to review the good, the bad, the ugly and the goofy of the previous four months.

Laurie and I have been talking a lot over the last month about the 2009 Elephants Catania and our future with the franchise. Because of the many memorable occasions and wonderful friendships we have made in the last two years our decision was not going to be easy.

I came to my final conclusion this week and informed Davide Giuliano, our Owner and General Manager, in person and the Elephants by e-mail yesterday of my decision not to return for the 2010 season.

It was NOT an easy decision.

I promised Davide to help in the finding of a replacement coach and to continue to recruit players for future Elephant squads.

Laurie and I cannot begin to thank everyone involved with the Elephants for these incredibly wonderful two seasons.

ELEPHANTS,

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES!!!
