"Why are those Dodger pitchers in the Reds bullpen?"-GAC August 28, 2009
Always a class act. He gave the most amusing press conferences in the business. I'm a graduate of two schools that have long standing rivalries with Miami but I still love Charlie Coles.
Cheers Charlie. One of the good guys.
Probably for the best, given his medical troubles.
While an undergrad, I remember him coming to UD and amiably talking trash with the first rows of the student section on multiple occasions. He dished it out pretty well.
One of the students photoshopped an O-Zone turtleneck onto a picture of him a couple years back, blew it up, printed it, and tried to get Charlie to sign it. He did so with a laugh and a smile.

Rest in peace, Charlie.
Behind a little bit of madness was a lot of genius. And a good man to boot.
When all is said and done more is said than done.

I, and many UC alumni and fans, greatly respect Charlie. Sorry for the loss, we will miss having him around.
All models are wrong. Some of them are useful.

I'm an OU alumnus and a big fan of the Bobcats. As much a we hate Miami, we loved Charlie. We're gonna miss you, Coach.

A really good read.
