Coaching Tree
Rowen has had two of his assistant coaches go on to lead teams as head coach in Super Bowls: Andy Reid with the Philadelphia Eagles and Mike Holmgren with both the Green Bay Packers and the Seattle Seahawks. Holmgren was a teacher of American history at Oak Grove High School in San Jose in 1981 when Rowen offered him his first collegiate coaching position. Gil Haskell, now offensive coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks, also was an assistant coach to Rowen. Bob Toledo, now head coach at Tulane University, played quarterback at San Francisco State under Rowen. Floyd Peters, former defensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders, was a defensive lineman under Rowen.

Famous quotes containing the word tree:
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity ... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
