JMF2006 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Probably not..........although he may have inspired him
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 I saw that story. It sounds like he is a great coach but what an awful way to end your career. It kinda erases everything. He quit on his team.
CSBill Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 It was planned, his successor was already in place. He just wanted to go out his way. Hard to say someone how coached 53 years quit. 1
Augie Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 Forget V. Davis, I wonder if Bronko Nagurski played for the guy? Very strange..... I wonder if he intentionally blew his first 3 TO’s for additional style points?

US Egg Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Vontae Davis didn't but an ex-Bill did: 1988 Buffalo Bills Draft 6th Round - Dan Murray LB East Stroudsburg Pretty sure he was the the last player drafted by an NFL team from this program. Edited November 1, 2018 by I am the egg man
JoeF Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 http://thestroudcourier.com/2018/11/01/esu-coaches-pay-tribute-to-denny-douds/ Not the way I would have done it, but what the hell. Its pretty ego-centric but he wanted to exit his way. I think it lacks a little respect for the game..but God bless him. 53 years as a coach and 45 years at East Strousburg... universally loved and admired. He seems like the type of coach that men who played for him think about when they are asked about their key mentor or role-model. I'd probably say he was the anti-Vontae. Enjoy retirement coach.....
Dablitzkrieg Posted November 1, 2018 Posted November 1, 2018 He sounds like a selfish prick. I love it!

Odd way to way end it sure, but to each his own If they were having a great season, would he have done the same thing? Honest question. I know it’s a little extreme to say it erases everything but he one lesson my coaches taught me is not to ever quit. How would we feel about a player doing this? it makes for an interesting discussion though.

I think these kids work too hard to not be given a chance just so this dude can grandstand. It's not a big deal, but he's not some kind of hero. 1

The article said they were down 13 points with less than 10 seconds left in the game.
