Coach Luttrell, I know that you don't need anyone to chime in and help you out here but I feel like I need to throw my 2 cents in as well. Having coached against some of John's teams I can assure anyone with any concerns about his coaching need not worry. No one gets his team to play with more emotion, discipline and toughness than coach Luttrell. His boys played hard for him, they bought into what he was teaching and took on his persona and were tough as nails. He produced winning teams at Cawood at a time when the talent level was not what it had been in the past. There were good players there but on the whole, the talent level was down; coach made them tough and won ballgames. Now he may not have any rings to show for it, or he may not have the track record that some are looking for, but it takes a team to win a title. Good luck coach, I know that if Middlesboro is lucky enough to get you that you will have them back winning ballgames and playing physical football. But most important of all they will learn how to play the game of life.
