Ted Ginn is the ultimate Glenville Tarblooder but will tell you that his program is neither about track nor football. He will tell you that, "It's about saving lives and saving souls. Football and track are just the vehicles we use to ride in."

As a student at Glenville, Coach Ginn played the positions of linebacker and center for the team in the 1970's. His started his career as a volunteer coach from 1976 to 1986. He was hired as an Assistant Coach and eventually assumed the Head Coach position, which he currently holds today. With a strong Christian background and foundation instilled in him by his grandparents as a young boy growing up in Franklinton, Louisiana, Coach Ginn was instrumental in bringing the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) to the Glenville High School Football Program. He refers to FCA as the "playbook" and places no time limits on the fellowship. "FCA is part of the glue that holds my program together."

Coach Ginn has assisted over 100 student athletes in attending college, including over 50 scholarships for Division I. Twenty-one student athletes received scholarships during the 2005-06 season. The Tarblooders' program is ranked number six in the country for recipients of Division I scholarships for student athletes.

Coach Ginn was featured in the June 25, 2001 issue of Sports Illustrated for his extraordinary effort in taking Pierre Woods (graduate of the University of Michigan) to seven states to attend college summer camps. Colleges would not come to Glenville High School so Coach Ginn, in an unprecedented initiative, decided to take his athletes to the colleges. The college tour has grown exponentially and is open to student athletes in Northeast Ohio.

In addition to mentoring former successful high school football players such as Pierre Woods and Donte Whitner, he has coached his own son, Ted Ginn, Jr. to unimaginable heights such as the USA Today #1 Defensive Player, Defensive Player of the Year and the number one Hurdler in the Nation while attending Glenville High School. Ted Ginn, Jr. attended The Ohio State University and continues to excel both on and off the field while reaching out to kids in his community and the nation. Pierre Woods signed as a free agent to the New England Patriots and Donte Whitner was a first round draft, eighth pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, receiving one of the second highest contracts in the history of the Buffalo Bills. Ted Ginn, Jr. was a 1st round, 9th pick in the 2007 NFL draft. He is now playing with the Miami Dolphins. Coach Ginn has established a network of college football recruiters that call on him to promote and market his players. He has joined the rank and file of the elite in high school and college football.

Coach Ginn is a trustee for the National Association for the Education of African American Children. The National Association of Negro Business and Professional Women's Clubs, Inc. honored him as Man of the Year in April 2006. In May of 2006, Coach Ginn was named High School Coach of the Year by the National Black Coaches Association. In June of 2006, Coach Ginn was inducted into the Glenville High School Hall of Fame.

One of Coach Ginn's dreams is to establish a boarding school in the inner city that would house, educate and mentor young males who are at risk. That dream is soon to become a reality at the Ginn Academy scheduled to open in the fall of 2007. His mission is to save lives and provide opportunity for kids and their families. Coach Ginn strives daily to be a "Good Shepherd," to protect kids from the ills of their society and give them a positive direction in life. "You have to give kids love, protection, awareness, core values, discipline and most important of all, listen to their stories," says Ginn. Coach Ginn also believes that, with kids, "you have to adjust the medicine," which he addresses in his soon to be released biography, The Man With The Medicine: The Story of Ted Ginn, Sr, a chronicle of humble beginnings have only been sanctioned and directed by God Himself.
