Coach Burkart was my coach at Marian in the early 90's. The original Dirt Dog. Was the ultimate motivator and a great O-line coach. Always loved catching up with him when I was still coaching and even after I stopped coaching. He had a true passion for the game and an even stronger passion to work with young men. He never backed down from a challenge. He will be missed. Justin, please share my condolences with your family and keep us posted on the Celebration of Life.

The Ancilla thing did not work out. He had been working on that for the past few years and they just never pulled the trigger. Would have been a great thing for Ancilla and football in Indiana. Their loss.

There was no health issues when he stepped down in 2017. He was ready for a change and has been looking at different opportunities since then. He also wanted to be able to watch his youngest son play at Manchester. His youngest just graduated. I talked with Reggie yesterday and he is excited about this new challenge. He has hit the ground running with his new program. I for one am excited to see what Reggie does. Good Luck Brother.

Greg was a great guy. Competed against him in high school and as coaches. Spent many hours in his basement office in the off season battling on the white board. RIP brother. #LOD
