Man crush on Coach Pike

[RuBird]

One of the best post game pressers. So many coaches make it all about themselves. This man not only puts his players first, but goes out of the way to thank the admin. Students, fans and media for their support with the loss of his mom. Also said what an awesome job his assistants did getting the team ready.

Thank you Coach Pike!

Just said the same thing. He’s so likeable. Couple that with what he’s building here and this program is in a great way right now.

A very classy gentleman who loves to compete and will not be out worked!

He buried his mother yesterday.

Was waiting for someone to say that. Thought that was an odd comment

Not only does he say these things all the time, you can tell he actually means it.

Such a genuine and likable guy.

Hopefully, he has a career here like his old coach (without the unsavory stuff)

Yeah turns out moments built for Curb Your Enthusiasm aren't always that funny in real life :flushed:

Congrats, Coach, on the big win. My condolences on the loss of your mother. I'm sure you are making her proud every day!
