For once I can add something to the football side!

Anyway, this guy coached at my high school (Monmouth Regional) my senior year. Really, really good guy. I know it's only high school, but he lead our team to just about the only winning season I can remember. Also, I know my friends that played for him loved him.

He also happened to be my gym teacher.

Well, back in high school I used to be really into film and making movies. Somehow one of the movies I made for a school history project made its way into the hands of Coach Acosta. Being that he was my gym teacher, he pulls me aside one day during class and asks me if I can film each game and make highlight films for certain players who were fringe collegiate players. Of course, I obliged.

Little did I know he would have me ride the team bus with my camera to games and have me film practices so he could show players what they were doing wrong.

VERY, VERY positive and easy going guy. He used to give some really bad ass, movie-worthy, pre and post game speeches. He was also really big into fitness and nutrition. Always getting on guys about their workouts.

I think he is a great hire for this team, especially having such entrenched New Jersey roots. Just don't expect him to stick around too long. He always used to tell us that he would be a collegiate head coach one day.
