Some of you might have noticed I invited Ruffin McNeill to write the foreword for my upcoming book:
THE RIGHT THING TO DO
Duffy and the True 1960s Pioneers, North and South
Foreword by Ruffin McNeill
Prologue by Mel Tucker
This episode 8 of the End Game videocast is about Ruff's career (including a death threat at Texas Tech) but there are two parts that will interest Spartans:
15:50 mark, Ruff's respect for Mark Dantonio at the 2009 Alamo Bowl
44:05 mark, Ruff talks about the influence of Jimmy Raye on kids growing up around Fayetteville and as a coaching role model
There's also a segment about Ruff as Lincoln Riley's mentor. Ruff promoted Riley to OC at Texas Tech, took him with him to East Carolina and eventually Riley hired Ruff at Oklahoma.
