Rome literally only played 2 years of football. All Greg had offered was Akron UCF Purdue and Pitt came at the last second. Wanstache saw a play where Greg chased down Pat Johnson (now Peterson) from backside DE and that was a wrap.
That 2200$ stipend is 1500$ after taxes... I had to stop, I was putting more time into coaching than I was teaching. When my son was born I had to stop all that Broward coaching life.
You had Romeus and you had Charlton Williams. He went on to play at Purdue. That 07 team actually had 4 D1 kids on it but... well , you know. Outside of that we didn’t have much.
