...template for such characters was established in The Graduate’s Benjamin by the time Wes Anderson pulled it off with Rushmore’s Max, and maybe taken in a new direction by Donnie Darko. Surely there’s no troubled, learning-to-grow-up mold, but in the writing Braff’s protagonist isn’t fully mature...
Following close on the heels of Mazzoleni’s departure—whose Midwestern style often set him at odds with players, parents and alums, if not the athletic department—Donato’s selection marks a return to the coaching mold established by former coach and athletic director Bill Cleary ’56, himself a former member of the Crimson...

He had absolutely no ego, and he was very comfortable in his own skin; therefore, he didn't feel he ever had to prove anything to anyone. He said what he thought and believed. He could move from being a sportscaster to moving pictures and TV, to being Governor of the largest state in the country for eight years and then to being President for eight years, and somehow remain the same wonderful man. Perhaps this was helped by his strong, unshakable...
