Dear NFL,

This issue of Rostrum is dedicated to the hundreds of coaches and teachers that work hard everyday to provide tremendous forensic opportunities for our student members.

Featured on this month’s cover are the coaches of the 2004 National Champions. It is our privilege to congratulate these outstanding individuals and their assistants on achieving coaching excellence. Furthermore, we are happy to recognize those coaches that received Schwan Diamond Coach Awards at the 2004 Beehive Nationals in Salt Lake City, UT. A Schwan diamond is a prestigious honor that requires both longevity and success as a NFL coach.

Our coaches are the heart and soul of this organization. They spend countless hours developing arguments, cutting scripts, organizing and arranging practice schedules, and building trip itineraries to make sure that all students receive great opportunities. They are developing the best and brightest citizens. Their commitment to educate and train forensic students is a commitment to our future.

Please join the NFL national office in thanking our coaches.
