SURE, BUT AS LONG AS YOU'RE COACHING IN A SUBURB OF NORTH ADAMS, HOW MUCH FUN CAN IT BE? SI's Tim Layden congratulates retiring Williams College football coach Dick Farley on ending his remarkable 17-year run.
Perhaps most noteworthy is this: "In 118 years of football Williams College has recorded five perfect seasons and all of them have come under Dick Farley. In 1989, 1990, 1994, 1998, and 2001 the Ephs went 8-0-0. Every player that Farley has recruited (and who has graduated) has played on at least one perfect team."
Wow. Farley never lost a home game against my alma mater, and much though I hated the outcomes, you have to respect the program he built in that isolated, desolate pit of hell on the other side of the hairpin curve.
Well, at least there's still one team that can beat Williams.
