Coach Hep,

We were so fortunate to share lunch with you at Nicks last year. We felt your sincerity and enthusiasm for IU football and “caught it” as so many did. We will be there again this year cheering you and the team on! We appreciate you for so many reasons.

Blessings,
Helen & Gary

I know I speak for my whole IU family. (I have 2 grandchildren attending now; two more ready for next year; a son-in-law and daughter alumnae, lots of neices and nephews. For the first time in many years I have purchased a football season ticket; mainly based on your enthusiasm, your skills as a coach, and your understanding of how important it is for the team to be backed by it’s alums and student body. Take care Hep, we need you.

Coach Hep ,As a lifelong Hoosier fan, now living in AZ. I wish you a speedy recovery!! When you were hired , my friends that new you said you were a good coach, but a great man. We need you back!! GOOD LUCK

My husband was a twenty year employee of IU before is job was recently eliminated. Our 24 year old daughter has been suffering from an inoperable brain tumor for the past three years. They did operate to remove what the could which has left her unable to see. She now attends a school for the blind in Indianapolis. Good Luck Coach and I hope IU treats you better than they have treated us.

Hello Coach. Hang in there and keep thinking postive. Get well soon. We need you on the sidelines. Best of luck to you and your family. A diehard Hoosier Fan. GO HOOSIERS.

Coach,

You are in our prayers and hearts.

Fondly,
