In the old days, coaches could expect that all players coming out of college were - how can I say this delicately?

Almonte will need a 2.0 grade point average to play in Florida, which his new coaches do not expect him to achieve.

Charles Woodson made formal yesterday a decision that his coach, among others, had expected for weeks.

Both Maggette and his coach expect him to get much better.

Meanwhile, many coaches and league executives expect the seminar to go well, especially Young, who knows he can't make everyone happy.

Finally, the coaches expect to put more emphasis on the short passing game.

Yet, the league's coaches expect the conference to remain as competitive with names that may be less familiar.

However, if a coach expects to survive, he must recruit.

The coach expects him to practice Friday and start the game.

That's what my teammates and coaches expect of me.
