As I am sure you all have read by now, Coach Larry Kehres has decided to pass the coaching reigns onto his son, Vince. A decision that was hard to make I am sure, but one done in true LK style - no fanfare, no huge showy affair, no spotlights. True to form, the decision was as much about everyone else as it was about coach. If you ever played for, worked for or were lucky enough to get to know Coach Kehres during your time at Mount Union, I know the wisdom and life lessons that you gleaned will always be remembered and will be shared for years to come. One of my favorites is one that was captured under his picture in a 80s yearbook that says, "Don't talk about it - DO IT."  Sound somewhat familiar? So here's my challenge to you - Don't just talk about getting involved here at Mount Union - DO IT. Make it happen. Find a group, a student, and a cause and get re-engaged.  DO IT. We have a wonderful example to model.

As alumni and Purple Raiders of Mount Union, we thank Coach Kehres for an amazing, unparalleled career as our head coach. I know that you will join me in supporting Vince Kehres as our football tradition of excellence continues. Have a great summer, and of course GO RAIDERS!!
