While it is obviously a small school, they went to the championship game again this past season, and have at least 4-5 championships under their belts, mainly when former Ohio St. coach Jim Tressel was the head coach. Tressel is back there now as president of the university, so it's certainly possible that Belichick may have picked his brain for a minute or two. It's definitely a winning atmosphere there.Small school...jason taylor was from akron.
Bill has ties to the area since his father worked at Youngstown Sheet and Tube for awhile, and Bill still helps the community to this day. Several years back he donated 50,000 to a local high school's (Struthers) football program because they needed new equipment (pretty depressed area). The one catch was that he didn't receive attention for his good deed, so the local Youngstown paper simply published a very small paragraph that went unnoticed to many.
