Coach Schneider is resting comfortably at the hospital, where he will be kept overnight for observation. He has a huge hematoma on his head. Please keep him and his family in your prayers.

Not one word about this in this morning's paper .

On a side note you can always tell who played for him and who didn't by how they say his name. 99.9% of his former players say Mr. Schneider those who didn't say Coach Schneider. The word Coach doesn't serve justice to the life lessons he worked to teach so many young men. first class man

 

That's an interesting way to look at that. Not disagreeing with you in the least, but that is actually the exact opposite of the way that works in the Cov Cath community. "Coach" is generally the more 'revered' title (with and exception being made for Herr Kaelin, who coached AND taught German for 50 years). There were even a few teachers that *didn't* coach anything who earned the title "Coach" in my fays at Cov Cath.

Yes there was on Page D14 in roundup of games under subhead LEGENDARY COACH INJURED... I am looking right at it... no word yet today on Coach Schneider.

Coach Schneider is doing well and should be released from hospital by noon today.

I disagree KJ. I think if you ask any Coach they will tell you that people calling you Coach rather than Mr. is more of an honor. I had some great coaches over the years and I still refer to them as Coach. I consider Coach as a term that means "mentor, teacher, coach and role model". Just my opinion!

On the field he was Coach . In the classroom and off the field he is Mr.

I never once called him coach. It was always Mr Schneider. Don't know why, but it was how it was.

Hope and prayers that all is good with Mr. Schneider.

The best place for the legends is in the stands or in an secured area where they can enjoy the game without possibility of injury.

 

Heck it is common to see Coach Homer Rice, Coach Hauck and Coach Murphy all legends sitting in the Foundation Club seating.

 

Bob's disadvantage at NewCath is he would not have anyone to talk to since he is the Legend...LOL

 

On a serious note, I hope he is doing well and if anyone is close to him tell him "Suebird" sends her prayers:thumb:

I think Mr. Schneider always valued his role as teacher higher than his role as Coach. Don't get me wrong he was extremely proud as coach and was consumed with Football during the fall. However, he always stressed academics and discipline in the classroom more than performance on the field.

 

I also think it was part of the culture of NewCath through out the 70's and 80's All of the coach's were known as Mr. over Coach. It was Mr. Schulte, Mr. Krebs, Mr. Dawn, Br. John Lyons and Mr. Schneider. Perhaps its part of the Christian Brothers influence the school had for some many years.
