In his 17 years as head football coach at Mineola High School, Dan Guido has seen just about everything. He has often had to battle long odds in putting a competitive team on the field. After winning the Conference IV championship and a trip to the Nassau County Class-B finals, Guido would normally have a total rebuilding job on his hand. While he and his staff of Helms Bohringer and Joe Tortorra do have to rebuild the squad, Guido has quite a bit of experience returning from that team that went 7-1 in the regular season and 8-2 overall in 2002.
