For the amount of help he (Rodgers) had, and we weren't blessed with a lot of football people in those days, he did an outstanding job. He got a lot of backing in the community. This community was definitely ready for football. |
He (Rodgers) was a good man. He was just out of school at Ohio University and he was obviously the best (applicant). He was very organized. He laid out his plans, his desires and his hopes. |
His Little League teams had $35, $40 uniforms when I was buying $18 uniforms for my high school team. It all came out of his pocket. There was no passing the hat. |
One thing Arch had was a lot of patience. The kids never quit. Arch never cut a kid. If you came out, you would get a suit. |
