"I spent more time critiquing a potential assistant than I did a recruit—and for good reason. That coach is going to be around a lot longer than that player is! That’s why, before I hired someone, I’d go to his house and meets his family, just like I would with a recruit. But in the case of a coach, instead of getting to know his parents, I wanted to meet his spouse, because you can ruin a good person real fast with a bad spouse. But if you have an enthusiastic man with a strong wife who supports him, that’s someone you can count on. I even got to know their kids, and if their mother and father were close by, why not visit with them, too?"From "Bo’s Lasting Lessons" by Bo Schembechler and John U. Bacon
