  • 82Nd Annual Convention of the AFCA
    82nd annual convention of the AFCA. JANUARY 9-12, 2005 * LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY President's Message It was an ordinary Friday night high school football game in Helena, Arkansas, in 1959. After eating our pre-game staples of roast beef, green beans and dry toast, we journeyed to the stadium for pre- game. As rain began to fall, a coach instructed us to get in a ditch to get wet so we would forget about the elements. By kickoff, the wind had increased to 20 miles per hour while the temperature dropped over 30 degrees. Sheets of ice were forming on our faces. Our head coach took the team to the locker room and gave us instructions for the game as we stood in the hot showers until it was time to go on the field. Trailing 6-0 at halftime, the officials tried to get both teams to cancel the game. Our coach said, "Men, they want us to cancel. If we do, the score will stand 6-0 in favor of Jonesboro." There was a silence broken by his words, "I know you don't want to get beat 6-0." Well, we finished the game and the final score was 13-0 in favor of Jonesboro. Forty-five years later, it is still the coldest game I have ever been in. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] No one likes to lose, but for every victory, there is a loss. As coaches, we must use every situation to teach about life and how champions handle both the good and the bad. I am blessed to work with coaches who care about each and every player.

  • John Mackovic
    As John Mackovic leads his Arizona Wild- cats into year three of his rebuilding plan, he does John so firmly in place, with a new staff and a new Mackovic sense of purpose. Mackovic does so intently focused on the Head Coach task at hand – building a winner in Tucson – with a track record of success to match. Mackovic YEARS COACHING: 34 YEARS AT ARIZONA: 3 has more wins than any other head coach in the Pacific-10 Conference and is just six victories 2 0 0 3 away from collegiate win No. 100. It’s a focus seen on the field with a highly- productive spring practice after introducing five new assistants and an improved defensive phi- losophy. “We have to play better defense in order to have a good team,” said Mackovic. “Our focus was that way all throughout the spring. From where we started to where we finished, we are comfortable, but I know that we are not satisfied.” That’s not to say that his record-setting of- fensive style will take a back seat. Not an offense that set nearly 50 individual and team offensive records a year ago. It’s a focus seen in the classroom as 22 play- ers earned University of Arizona Mary J. Roby academic honors (3.0 GPA or better) in 2002-03, including two first-team Pac-10 All-Academic se- lections (six in the last two seasons) and Jason Johnson, the Woody Hayes National Scholar-Ath- lete award winner. It’s a focus seen off the field as a head coach builds a tight-knit bond with his charges.
