Every coach's wife (or husband) has to "understand". Having met quite a few of our football coaches' wives, I'd say they're pretty strong ladies in their own rights.

Of course, the same could be said of the spouses of any flavor of first responder and many physicians' spouses. Any of you who fall into either of those categories have my unfailing gratitude.

A great reminder of how lucky we are to have what we have at Appalachian. And it's why we regularly refer to ourselves as the Appalachian Family!

Thank you Beth and all of our coaches' wives!

And also a reminder to those who are quick to pull out the "fire the coach" card that many lives are affected!!!
