S2, E05. "43 Years Later... Coach Still Cares."

Dealing with the loss of a player; the time he cancelled practice to take his players swimming; refusing to smile in team pics; his dad’s response to him going 1-3; the right way to correct a player; the problem with all these sports lessons in the off season; the coach who believed in him.

Coach Jerry Pullen coached for 43 years. He got his start at Emma Sansom (junior high) in 1979 losing only one game in 2 years. During the 80’s and early 90’s, Coach Pullen made several pit stops that include Valley Head HS, UT Chattanooga, University of Alabama, Mississippi State University, University of Arkansas, and Clemson University. He made an appearance in 3 bowl games, including the Cotton Bowl while also gaining Gadsden Times coach of the year honors in 1982. He and his wife Lisa have been married 40+ years! They have one daughter, Rebekah.
