I don't think people always believe my brother's genuineness. He cares about people; he wants to help people. Those are traits that we got from my parents, and he has taken them to the greatest heights. He has always been special. |
The house was huge, and the third floor actually had a room that looked out over the football field. My brothers and I always sold concessions and stuff on game days. But on the more inclement days, some people would use the room almost like a stone-age skybox. My father pretty much had an open-door policy as far as his players were concerned. My mom would cook for them, and she even mended rips in the uniforms. |
The primary thing my parents always emphasized to us was to get involved and to help. That's the sort of attitude I think Jim has brought to Ohio State. It is about so much more than coaching. |
