Don James story very interesting.
From Ohio. Brother played on Ohio State's 1st National Title team in 1942.
Don came down and played at Miami from 1951-1953.
Then he coached Miami Southwest HS in 1958.
Was an assistant at FSU in the 60s.
Ends up coaching Washington to a split title with Miami in 1991.
Retires amid NCAA violations in 1992. Also goes in the University of Miami Sports HOF the same year.

Almost always a good Miami connection when it comes to sports.
