The Coach and the Bear
For more than 40 years, Gordon Connell, McCallie’s longtime
head wrestling coach and Middle School science teacher, has regaled students with the story of how he, as a young man, once wrestled a bear. Now, with all the legendary embellishments and humor – and with some good-natured ribbing from Head of School Lee Burns ’87, Coach Connell shares the story on this
podcast.
