Gomer Jones gave Homer Rice five minutes to make a decision. That’s not much time.
Five minutes to choose on whether to uproot your life, your family’s life, your assistant coaches’ lives, your assistant coaches’ families’ lives.
Good thing Rice had something to fall back on.
Character.
When faced with a difficult decision or a quick decision, it’s always best when you can rely on doing the right thing. Always best when you can rely on character.
Do we even remember character, as it relates to college football? Oh, it’s out there.
