How will the value of your life be measured?

It will not matter what you bought, but what you built. Not what you got, but what you gave. Not your success, but your significance. Not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter, is every act of integrity, courage, compassion, or sacrifice that enriched, empow-ered, or encouraged oth-ers to emulate your ex-ample. What will matter is not your competence, but your character……not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone. What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that will live in those who loved you.

Wednesday, February 8, 2012 Speaker—UNM Coach, Bob Davie Our guest speaker for Wednesday, February 8th will be University of New Mexico football coach, Bob Davie. Coach Davie has been a college football analyst on television since 2002. He has served as the lead analyst on ABC

Coach Davie Story Cont. from pg.1

linebackers coach for Sherrill and was promoted

to defensive coordinator and assistant head coach under Slocum. He also served as assistant head coach/defensive coordinator at Tulane

(1984-85) and linebackers coach at the University of Pittsburgh (1980-82) and the University of Ari-zona (1978-79).

In 25 years of coaching, Davie has been a part of teams that have compiled a combined record of 202-93-4. He has coached in 18 bowl games, in-

cluding the Fiesta Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl and Cotton Bowl. Davie had a 35-25 career record at Notre Dame,

leading the Irish to three bowl games and taking the program to its first-ever BCS postseason game, the 2001 Fiesta Bowl. He also was the first

coach to lead Notre Dame to a bowl game in his first season. Year in and year out, Notre Dame plays one of the toughest schedules in the nation.

During Davie’s tenure, 19 of those games were against Top-25 foes and 52 of the 60 were against BCS foes. Seven of the other eight were

against service academies and one was against another non-BCS foe. Davie also has been a two-time finalist for a Na-

tional Coach of the Year award (by the Walter Camp Foundation and Football News). Also while at Notre Dame, Davie earned an

American Football Coaches Association Award for Academic Achievement in 2001 as his team had a 100 percent graduation rate.

Davie has been hailed as a defensive master-mind. In 1996, Davie oversaw a Notre Dame de-fense that held opponents to 270 yard of total of-

fense per game and set a school record with 41 quarterback sacks for the season. During the 1991, 1992 and 1993 seasons, Davis’ “Wrecking

Crew” defenses at Texas A&M led the Southwest Conference in all four major statistical categories – total defense, scoring defense, rush defense

and pass defense. The Aggies were the only team in the history of the conference to accom-plish that feat. The 1991 Texas A&M led the na-

tion in total defense. Current NFL players Davie has coached include New York Giants defensive end Justin Tuck,

Green Bay Packers running back Ryan Grant, Miami Dolphins tight end Anthony Fasano, Tampa Bay Buccaneers center Jeff Faine and

Intel Achievement Award, the company’s high-

est and most selective honor. Mr. Barela left Intel in 2005 to become an entrepreneur. He is a founder and part owner of Cerelink, an Albu-

querque cloud computing provider to the motion picture industry.

Mr. Barela has made competitiveness and im-proving education central themes in his chair-manship of several significant organizations,

including the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce (one of the country’s largest His-panic chambers), New Mexico First (the state’s

leading nonpartisan public policy group), New Mexico’s Work Force Development Board, and the Albuquerque Public Schools Foundation.

He most recently served on the Albuquerque Public Schools Board of Education, helping

oversee operations of one of the country’s larg-est school districts.

Barela challenged Democratic incumbent Mar-tin Heinrich for New Mexico's 1st congressional district, but was ultimately defeated in a 51%-

49% race on election night. After the election, he was appointed by Governor Susana Marti-nez to serve as secretary of New Mexico's Eco-

nomic Development Department.

Mr. Barela and his wife, Gina, have three chil-

dren, John Paul, Christina, and Joseph Daniel.

Barela's parents, John and Edna still reside in

Las Cruces, New Mexico.
