What makes a coach, coach? For Mike Savage it has always been about love - love of football and love for his players.
We first met Savage back in February of 2020. It was his third year leading the New Town High School Titans in Owings Mills. His team was coming off back-to-back county and regional championships. At 47 years old it was his dream job. His resume led him there. He had won over a dozen regional, state and national titles at the youth level in Pikesville.
After countless triumphs he was facing his biggest setback, one that had nothing to do with the health of his football team but the health of his failing body. He was in the early stages of ALS.
He didn’t know those would be among the final days he would serve as a head coach.
Today Savage, 50, is completely paralyzed. That’s what ALS does. It’s a degenerative neuromuscular disease with no cure.
