High-Wire Tenuta has Jacket Defense Playing His Way

Link here. You have to love Coach Tenuta. Quote:

"I'm a firm believer it's got to be done one way, and that's my way," he said.
Who am I to argue?

Unfortunately, it looks like Tenuta is starting to open up about bigger dreams - like being a head coach:
Tenuta says he hopes Braine's next recommendation is to a school looking for a head coach.

"I think everybody in this business wants to be a head coach," Tenuta said.

Braine would not say if he already has had a school ask permission to interview Tenuta the last three years. Braine says the desire to be a head coach is one reason Tenuta may begin to make himself more available to interview requests.

"John is starting to open up," Braine said. "In his mind he knows to be a head coach he's going to have to start doing these things."

Braine and Gailey say Tenuta is ready to head a program.

"He's certainly very deserving," Gailey said. "There's no question about that. Everybody has a different idea about what they want, but he would certainly do a great job for someone."

"I don't know what else he has to do to prove that he's ready," Braine said. "He just needs the opportunity."
