President Dr. Keith T. Miller
“We’re just delighted to have John here with his family. I think this is very symbolic, having his parents, sister, kids, and spouse here. This is the kind of environment we would like to create, a family oriented environment. Football is excellent, but we’re all about the learning experience through life and the important things in life, including family.” Head coach John Klacik “This is going to be a total effort. We’re going to need a commitment from the surrounding community, the University community, and from my staff and players. So when Lock Haven University football turns around, I want everyone to feel like they have a little piece of it.” |

“I’m not just interested in recruiting guys who are the best football players. I want to bring in players who can contribute to the University. A long time ago, somebody said to me, ‘if you need a quarterback, don’t go out and get the best quarterback. Get the best person and teach him to be the best quarterback.’” -on how to win at LHU “First we need to form relationships with our players. They’ve been through some tough times, and have been told by many people that they can’t win, that it’s impossible for Lock Haven to win. My job as a coach is to make them believe that anything is possible if you work hard enough.” -on his assistant coach staff “I was told by (current Ohio State head) coach (Jim) Tressel that when forming a staff, one needs to be patient. The good coaches will always rise to the top over time. We’ll put together a good staff. I can promise you that it will be the best staff that Lock Haven has ever had.”
