GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Darrell Caldwell, KIPP Atlanta Collegiate
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach? "Washington and Doughtery at Lakewood Stadium. The visitors were up 21-7 at the half. We looked doomed, and coach Rodney Cofield called his famous 'fumble-rooskie.' The play netted 65 yards, and the comeback was on. The defense made adjustments, and it came down to us having the ball with seven seconds left. Latrez Harrison tosses a Hail Mary that only Kennis Kennedy could get up for. Touchdown Bulldogs. Wow!" [Washington went on to finish 11-1 in the 1997 season.]
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why? "Willie Hunter. He has always been the epitome of toughness and dedication. I have always followed Hunter-coached teams from the early '80s, and the common theme was always discipline and hard work. These characteristics lead to solid young men."
3. What is your favorite saying/motto? "To follow your true passion of growing solid citizens and enjoy the journeys is more rewarding to the soul than any physical token."
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed? "Shopping athletes."
