I get tired of people ragging on TO about Lawrence Phillips. Lawrence had a horrific childhood filled with abuse and Tom tried everything he could to give LP a chance to make something of himself. The easy thing would have been to give up on him when he made some mistakes, but Tom didn't do that. He kept trying to help LP and was the only father figure he really ever had. Even years later when LP was in prison and almost everyone else had forgotten about him, Tom was still corresponding with him and offering him support.
No virtue in that guy. Lawrence Phillips Peter brothers. Coach in high school was recruited by Nebraska his friend who he played with told he had not gone to class in 3 months and was not worried about bc coach would take care of it. Like saying Paterno has integrity.
