First of all, let me preface this by saying that I believe John Rhodes might be the best assistant we have.  The progress of Lewis is obviou.  My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family as he battles cancer.  Dear lord does Cancer suck.

However, if John is focused on winning his fight, shouldn't we be looking for an assistant coach to at least fill in for John while he is out?  I would hope that John could stay on in some capacity to keep his insurance and to have a standard of living, but without him, I could see our team losing a valuable teacher.
