Looking up info on Brother Gus the other day, I found Johnny’s over-all record as head coach. I never paid attention, at the time, but it was pretty mediocre. I think that stems from his intractable nepotism at the QB position. His four sons
had to play that position. I have no doubt that he dearly loved his teams....I remember a girl rolling her eyes when she heard he had the team over to his home to watch old MHS football films on Christmas day. His son from the class of ‘79 went on to coach Sheldon High to an undefeated season and several State titles. I think the whole clan relocated there, and I wasn’t surprised when his younger brother replaced him as head coach.

I had paid enough attention to know that it was mediocre, and for MHS very poor.
When he called it quits, Mr. K put in an application that he believed was serious for the position
Were the Sheldon titles after the introduction of the additional division? IIRC Sheldon was among those placed in the second-biggest.
