First, the Blog and Mrs Blog would like to state our condolences to Coach Hodges and his family on the passing of his wife Sue.
UMass story here.
Perhaps many new fans of UMass are not aware of how much Coach Hodges has given to UMass football and the University.
Mike took over as HC of the Minutemen after Jimmy Reid resigned when his scholarships were cut---without telling him. UMass lost one entire recruiting class. Mike held the program together. He installed a run-heavy offense that made the best of what resources were available. Coach Hodges managed a career winning record of 35-30. When he was replaced in 1998, Mike made a gracious and dignified exit, never once pointing out the difficulties he coached under.
