Going to review this soon. Just making a few notes.

"A notable athlete he recruited as Randy White" change as to was.
We could upload a fair use image. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 04:02, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I made a small copy edit to the nickname in the lead.
Added some cats.
"On October 21, 1944, his division fought a battle over the Germans in Metz, France" Shouldn't that say "against" the Germans?
"overall record was 136–22–4" perhaps change to "overall record as a head coach was 136–22–4"
The body says "National Catholic Coach of the Year " but infobox says "Catholic Football Coach of the Year". Suggest changing to what the body has, since that's what the sources called it.
I wonder if National Foundation Coach of the Year in 1964 should be in the infobox too? That doesn't really seem any less noteworthy than "National Catholic Coach of the Year". That's all. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 12:28, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @WikiOriginal-9: I think I addressed everything but the picture. As for that, I know there is a statue of him at Salesianum that I could probably photograph. Not sure if that'd be better than a fair use image. Thoughts? BeanieFan11 (talk) 15:54, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  There's probably a good picture of him on Newspapers.com somewhere. The one from his hall of fame profile on Google images isn't very good. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 15:59, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Found one that looks good from The News Journal here (scroll down to '1957 Salesianum football'). Should I do that one? BeanieFan11 (talk) 16:05, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    That looks good ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 16:15, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @WikiOriginal-9: Image added. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:35, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Okay, that's everything. Passing the article. Nice work. ~WikiOriginal-9~ (talk) 18:48, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The article looks good and the hooks are interesting and appear in the sources. No copyvios present or other issues. I think the two-day delay can be excused but we can also get a second opinion through whoever promotes the hook. I'm gonna approve this.--N Ø 12:18, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
