When Coach Mills took over at Dinwiddie, the football program was abysmal. Dinwiddie didn't suddenly import a bunch of athletes. Nobody sprinkled the kids with magic dust. Coach Mills just had a vision for the program he wanted to establish. Coach Mills set the examble by never taking a day off, never being satisfied, never letting any other coach out work him, or out prepare him.
It was through this example, that he built a program that the kids bought into. A program that they wanted to be a part of.
The reward was not just winning a few football games, but giving the kids something to believe in, something worthwhile to be proud to be a part of.
As a result, these kids were taught a lot about all of the values that are essential to a happy and successful life.
This is what Coach Johnson should strive for. And not doubt, WILL strive for. So, regardless of what the win-loss record was, and will be, his success should be measured by the merits above, more so than games his team scored more points than the other team.
