"You can't out-fox the Fox."
That expression was heard often around Milford high school earlier last decade, and will be heard yet again now.
After resigning as head football coach at Milford three years ago, former coach Pat Fox is back as the head man for the Mavericks.
Fox took a break from coaching to spend more time with his young children, but has decided to get back on the sidelines at Milford, taking the job after the man who replaced him, Jeff Hill, decided to take the job at Royal Oak.
Hill lives in Royal Oak and coaching there will mean he's closer to home and his family.
Fox worked miracles at Milford during his first tenure at the school, helping lead the program to heights it never had previously attained.
Milford made the playoffs for the first time in school history in 2002, beat Catholic Central in a district final in 2005 before advancing to a regional final in 2006, where the Mavs lost a close game to state power Rockford.
Kosmo loves Coach Fox and feels he's one of the best coaches in the state who'll do wonders again at Milford.
Welcome back, coach. Kosmo certainly knows it's not a wise idea to try and out-fox the Fox.
- Kosmo would like to point out an error in his blog the other day. He mentioned that the West Bloomfield boys basketball team is unbeaten in OAA Red play. Actually, the Lakers have one loss, that being at home to North Farmington. Still, the Lakers have been a great story so far this season.
