...which for those too young to remember, means he was the Tribe coach when they played the Lockbaums in 1986 and 1987.
He also was the BC coach for one day in 1990. Took the job after Frank Beamer turned it down (The Boston Globe said Beamer-to-Boston was a done deal). Then, Laycock slept on it and reconsidered.
All 3 parties did ok in the deal- Beamer and Laycock stayed at their respective schools until they retired. BC got Tom Coughlin, one of their better hires.
