Yes, this is a distraction for all of us. Very few can imagine what those parents and family members are experiencing. Thank you Coach for always being a positive example and having some proper empathy.

All i can think about is what those CHILDREN were thinking and going through and having a coach that obviously understands the brevy of the situation while keeping it simple is really awesome

I liked how he stayed out of the political fray but still made his thoughts known simply as a human being with compassion.

You really have to like and respect this man. He’s a true leader. So glad he’s our coach!

Will say, the guy despite saying he does not want to be a politician, would seemingly be a good one. He is a good leader of people who maintains a level head and truly do believe he is sincere in what he says and preaches

Well said PJ and thank you for being an excellent leader in a challenging time

We are so blessed to have him. He has truly embraced The U, the Twin Cities and Minnesota. He felt and shared the pain
