Well done Mark! As I also walked in the shoes of being a player/coach in the 60s,70s,80s I have seen many changes in high school football, mostly good, but some questionable. I support the multiple sport athlete even though the pressure to do all for all has increased.
Congratulations to you, Mark Gilman, for being awarded the Media Award by the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association! Your dad Jerry would be very proud of you!
Mark I agree with Coach D. Jonhson and most of your written comments in this article. From 1984 to 1994 I cached youth Football for the Salem Boys club "Dolphins" with Jeff Hilfiker we had seven (7) Salem Boy's club Football Championships for the City of Salem, OR. I played Football through Grade School and High School, PIL Champions 1966. But I learned so very much about coaching Football and the game from your Dad (Jerry Gilman) and Coach D. Jonhson at the Salem Football School at South Salem High School. I have always been the "other side of the tracks guy". But have much respective for Coach J. Gilman and Coach D. Jonhson for helping me be a better coach so great-full to have had that experience.
