Filed under: Miami (OH), Pittsburgh, Coaching
As Michael Haywood walked out of what would be his final team meeting as the head of the Miami-Ohio football team, his players gave him a standing ovation.
Haywood cried.
It was an unexpected response from a team that had just been told that its head coach, who had turned the RedHawks from a 1-11 doormat to a 9-4 Mid-American Conference champion, was bolting for Pittsburgh after just two years in Oxford, Ohio.
Most players and athletic directors might have felt abandoned and bitter, but Miami-Ohio took the high road, celebrated the success of its coach and knew that the team Haywood left was far better than the one he inherited.
