Back from war, HS football coach starts anew - Army News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Army Times
"SHELLEY, Idaho — The high school football coach known here as “Mr. November” — it was on his license plate even before he won his fifth state championship — was having a tough August.
He said he felt irritable, impatient, inadequate. Sometimes he was depressed. He had trouble remembering players’ names and deciding when to defer to his assistants. “I’m lost,” Dwight Richins said. “I feel like a new coach at a new school.”
In a way, he was. Coach Richins was also Lt. Col. Richins, a reservist home after a year’s deployment as an Army logistics officer in Afghanistan. He was struggling with the disorientation experienced by almost all such returning vets."
