Awesome for Coach Wetzel. Interesting fact: I read the press release on the DSU site. Coach Wetzel is the youngest person to ever be a head coach at the high school, professional and now college levels.
I remember reading an article when he was first hired at MSU; amazing person who overcome so much.
