A must watch from the stand point of hearing first hand about the relationship between the two most impact coaches at USF. You can tell even before he starts talking, Alex Golesh is still hurting for the loss of his friend Coach Amir Abdur Rahim. Not only were they friends, but CAAR was also a mentor to Alex Golesh. The stories about the two interacting with each other and the way CAAR invested his time and energy with the success of the football team, is something far beyond anything I have ever heard of. I loved the story that CAG told about CAAR having a Closed Door Meeting with him and the football team only, no cameras, reporters, or outside personnel.
