Akron - Buchtel High School football coach Claude Brown inspired his players to excel -- not only on the gridiron but in life. Players considered him to be a father, a mentor and a hero. More than 25 of them earned college scholarships while playing for Brown.
Now, Brown is wearing a uniform his players wouldn't want to don -- an orange jail jumpsuit. He admitted Monday to having a two-month long sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student at the school, Akron police Lt. Rick Edwards said.
The teenager and Brown, who is married, had sex at least three times between Dec. 15 and Feb. 23 , Edwards said.
