Lon Kruger’s wife Barbara Kruger grew up six miles from his hometown of Silver Lake, Kansas. As you might expect from a coach, he and his wife would be considered prominent and giving members of their community. They’re well known for charity events and fundraisers. Barbara serves on something called the Safe Nest Domestic Violence Shelter board of directors, and as you might expect, their mission is to shelter kids and wives from abusive partners….
NCAA Wives and Girlfriends (WAGS)
Dave Doeren’s wife Sara Doeren grew up in Chariton, Iowa, a small town of about 4300 people located about 54 miles south of Des Moines. One thing I can tell you about the couple is that they definitely did not meet in high school (as a lot of coaching couples tend to). Dave grew up in Kansas. They’ve had three sons: Jacob, Luke, and Connor. In fact, Sara met Dave while he was a graduate…
Larry Krystkowiak’s wife Jan Krystkowiak has had five kids with Utah head coach, named Cam, Luc, Ben, Samantha and Finley. That right there is a pretty big accomplishment. Being the wife of a coach is hard enough, but raising five kids when the guy is gone a significant amount of time certainly amps up the difficulty level considerably. By far the coolest thing about Larry Krystkowiak’s wife Jan Krystkowiak is that she’s a published children’s…
Mike Brey’s wife Tish Brey was a student at George Washington along with Mike in the early 1980’s. Mike had transferred from some other school and was playing as a fifth-year. He’d just gone to get a sandwich at a local deli and sat in the bleachers to eat it before practice, and he noticed a young, striking volleyball player that he was taken with. That was Tish. It didn’t take long before the two…
I suppose the turn into broadcasting sports games makes sense for professional athletes, and in the case of Albert Haynesworth’s girlfriend Brittany Jackson, that’s what we’ve got. I’m not sure if Albert Haynesworth has commented on sports broadcasts, but he certainly has other off-field activities going. He owns a burger joint, for one thing, and he got some attention for pouring water on a homeless guy who was harassing customers outside of his restaurant. By…

Smith was originally married to Ann Cleaving in 1954, before being deployed overseas while in the United States Air Force.

Cardale Jones’ girlfriend Jeaney Durand is a new mother of baby girl as of November, 2014. Young Jeaney gave birth on the fourth of that month to Chloe Michelle Jones, though I’m curious why Chloe bears the last name of Jones already. Being a research assistant at Case Western Reserve University sounds like a pretty cool gig for Cardale Jones’ girlfriend Jeaney Durand. She also attends Ohio State and is working on a biology/pre-medicine degree,…
