Cool Korn As I sat down with one of the coaches, who is the defensive backs coach on the Tennessee State University (TSU) football staff, I noticed how Coach Korn reminded me of myself. My interviewee was Coach Korn, since I play offensive line, he is not one of my coaches. Coach Korn and I have had our occasional hi and bye’s, but until this interview I knew not much of him. I noticed a few things, one being that he has been interviewed before because when we sat down he showed no…

Though at the start I thought that making Coach Boone head coach was the wrong decision for many reasons including him being black. Now my opinions have changed because the season was great. It was rough at the start we then grew as a team and we did pretty good in the season. Coach Boone pushed us and made us bond as a team and I think that had a big toll on our team because after that our whole team was bonded…

Coach Boone does this by stating, “If we don’t come together...right now, on this hallowed ground...then we, too, will be destroyed, just like they were. I don’t care if you like each other or not, but you will respect each other, and maybe...I don’t know, maybe we’ll...learn to play this game like men.” This explains that Coach Boone was trying to prove to them, that if they don’t get along and respect each other…

each other. As I walked closer I heard their coach diatribe, shouting at them to hit each other harder. This got me thinking, why wouldn’t the coach want them to tackle harder; what’s the worst the can happen, they never play again from an injury? The players don’t care at all, with their toughened calloused bodies and the fact that they are too compliant and obsequious to disobey their coach, as this will affect their playing time in games.
