Former DC Kerry Coombs (Former Cincy Bearcats Interim Head Coach)

CINCINNATI, Ohio -- When Kerry Coombs became Cincinnati Colerain's head football coach in 1991, he bought a new red Chevy.


It matched the school's color scheme. Fitting.


By the time his 16-year run at Colerain was over, the finish on that red Chevy faded, but Coombs never thought to replace it.


Maybe there was a reason for that.


"He was the head coach and an administrator while he was here," said Tom Bolden, Colerain's current coach and former Coombs assistant. "We used to tease him that he was driving that old Chevy because he didn't want the kids he had to discipline earlier in the day tearing up his car while he was at practice.


"He didn't care with the old Chevy whether anyone damaged it or not ... If he were driving the car he drives now, he'd have to hide it."

One of the best parts about Coombs is that he seems to have as much fun with all this as the kids. I don't know if I know anyone in the world who must love their jobs as much as this guy. Glad he's ours.

"When you grow up in Ohio, there are things you don't allow yourself to dream about. I watched Woody and Archie and Pete Johnson and Cornelius Greene ... and now I get to coach here? This is unbelievably humbling and gratifying for me."

"I was out of my seat and saying yes before he was finished asking the question."

Didn't make my way to the food in the green room. According to Coach Coombs' 3rd plate, safe 2 say it was really good.
