I ve approached it as being at the crossroads, following in the footsteps of either the Carolina Panthers or the Green Bay Packers. We can be a flash in the pan and drop back into the middle, or we can stay on top. But to answer your question, now our objectives are to be ranked nationally and to be respected nationally. <br><br>BFS: Is there any fear of losing focus or creating  prima donnas ?<br>JS: One of our standards is that the team is first, the team is everything. We make a contract with each player that all personal glory will come because the team does well. Every guy on our team is 9-1. Every guy on our team feels good, whether he is a starter or a backup or a guy on the bench. Individual honors come about only when someone else selects them.<br><br>BFS: Since your school doesn t offer scholarships, how do you attract good athletes?<br><br>JS: We make our living off the guy who might be an inch or two too short, or a step or two too slow, to get a scholarship. Also, it should be recognized that there are a lot of good football players who want to play college ball but who are not offered scholarships. We try to contact every high school and every prospect in the entire state, even if they are going to be offered scholarships. Because, the fact is, some of those guys are overlooked on national letter days, and we re the school that s been talking to them. It s also the visit that makes the difference we re friendly, we offer an opportunity to come to a small school and get a lot of individual attention, and we have a beautiful campus and a multimillion-dollar athletic complex. At Methodist College we go out to meet the clientele, and a lot of them are people just like me. I m from the coal mines of West Virginia, and these guys are from the cotton mills and the tobacco farms, and most of them are first-generation students so we get some kids who are at risk academically. Once they get here, we try to work with them. We ve had many success stories of kids who were not that great in the classroom in high school, but who managed to stay in college. Here, our first priority is to get a degree, and then to play football at its highest level.<br><br>BFS: Has your emphasis on education benefitted your football team?<br> <br>JS: That s how we got better as a football team we kept our kids in school. I remember back when we started we had only one senior on our squad; now we have classes of 12-14 and the numbers are growing every year. I think when it gets to the point where we have 20-25 seniors in the program, we can feel optimistic that we can be a strong force every year.<br><br>BFS: Are there any other advantages to going to a small college?<br><br>JS: In a Division 3 school there is room and time for players to be many things at the college. They can come here to play ball, get an education, and still enjoy the benefits that college life affords them. Our team capt
