Although I was not the sharpest pencil in the pencil box?? Lol!! Coach Joe Francis was always a patient coach to me. If he was upset he would say words such as; “Dag namit” or “WT French fries”. He never swore or cuss bad words. He would tell me his body was worst than the “Six million dollar man” & he still could make that throw better than I could. Just to make a point, of course? Lol!! He definitely was and will forever be an inspiration to me. Thank you R.I.P. Coach Joe Francis.

Coach Joe was unreal. At Pac-5 he was a coach and the Scout QB. He could still pass and run with the teenagers, in his 40’s and 50’s (age).
