Lincoln Football Coach Returns to the Field

DES MOINES, Iowa - Friday night marked the fourth game Lincoln head football coach Tom Mihalovich sat out.

The coach was sidelined after a player's family expressed concerns about his discipline policies almost one month ago.

But Friday night in a surprising twist, Mihalovich made an appearance at the homecoming football game - all because of one special request that almost wasn't granted.

Vybert Greene, the co-captain of the football team, previsouly asked Mihalovich and his wife to escort him out on the field for homecoming court.

The soft-spoken senior, whose mother is battling cancer, said Mihalovich has been his role model and his "rock."

"I just thought it was important (for him) to be there," Greene said.

The school had denied the request because Mihalovich isn't allowed to be on school grounds during his suspension but at the last minute school district officials changed their minds.

The loudest applause Friday night was for Mihalovich and Greene was thrilled.

"I'm glad they let me have what I wanted," he said. "It's a good feeling. Coach, I always looked up to him so it's a big deal."

Mihalovich said he appreciated the school district's decision.

"Sometimes you just gotta say what's the right thing to do?," Mihalovich said. "And they did it and I am thankful."

Mihalovich and the school district had no additional comment on the investigation.
