I buy every book by him that I can. I thank my lucky stars for having been through Ara and Lou.

I absolutely loved Hanratty and Theismann and their great personalties who were coached by Ara. Theismann always had to prove he wasn't too small and that actually made him great, along with his incredibly strong arm and his quick nimble feet. Hanratty was just an old school QB with guts and a very strong arm who ran decently too. A down to earth but really funny, warm guy, whose teammates loved him. He gave Ara so much respect. Lou, well all of his players grew as people and players.
