GHSF Daily asked Georgia head coaches to answer these four questions. We'll report from a different head coach each day.
Matt LeZotte, Richmond Hill
1. What is the most memorable game you've been a part of as a player or coach? "The 2004 national championship game vs. Montana. After a week of preparation and events, it was an unbelievable experience to be a captain in that game and crowd surf holding the national championship trophy." [LeZotte was a quarterback for James Madison from 2001 to 2004. The Dukes beat Montana 31-21 in the Division I-AA title game.]
2. Which high school coach would you want your son to play for, and why? "I'd love for my son to play for me. Currently I've got a house full of little ladies, but I would love to be able to share in a son's playing experience."
3. What is your pet peeve as a coach or favorite saying/motto? "Pet peeve: Coaches not coaching. I like for every coach on the staff to be coaching players on the field or the sideline. No spectators. Motto: We are trying to create a belief, so I love the quote, 'The person that says it can't be done is generally passed by someone doing it.'"
4. Which GHSA policy or high school football rule would you most like to see changed? "I'd love to see the tackle-box rule implemented on the high school level with regards to intentional grounding."
