We sold our company to a British company, National Express Group, in 1999. They hired me back as president and CEO of the U.S. subsidiary, National Express Corporation. They'd already bought three small bus companies and needed an experienced management team. We provide student transportation, and run all the public transit busses in Las Vegas and Phoenix. We have an airport about an hour and a half out of New York City.
Football is a game of emotions, the kids truly have to learn how to win.
When they get behind, they get down emotionally and they lose the edge. Bob was able to instill the fact they could win. When he was here as coach and then left a few years ago, the program sort of slid back. We just didn't get over the hump. The kids were ready to win, and we saw the result.
