“If you come together nobody can stop you!” #schlarmanstrong. Not sure God gives you an iPhone and Twitter in heaven, but if he does, Coach should be proud of the love sent his way today. He impacted everyone around him. Coached way more than football. Coached Life. https://t.co/wSH3m9pt8Y

John was everything we all strive to be: honest, tough, fair, respected. Kentucky football won’t be the same without him but his legacy will never fade. He was a fighter and we will strive every day to honor his warrior spirit. pic.twitter.com/EWm5myA2qd

Beautiful piece! Coach Schlarman will be greatly missed. He lived his life with such dignity and class. Our Hearts and prayers are with LeeAnne and their beautiful children. He will be remembered forever as one of the greatest wildcats there ever was? https://t.co/xxiRhDYBC2

When you reflect on a life, you look at the impact. There are very few people I’ve been blessed to know that will leave a longer-lasting impact than John Schlarman. Thank you for exemplifying what it is to be a father, coach, friend & Christian! https://t.co/9NMxAub1dm

The toughest guy I’ve ever known is John Schlarman. All who had the pleasure of being around John were better for it because they saw grit, passion, authenticity & love for people on display every day. He leaves behind a great legacy. https://t.co/Quev6P7zdP
