Strickland is retired president and CEO of Rush Health Systems (now Ochsner Rush Health), and Prince is co-owner of Prince Oil Company with headquarters in Philadelphia. Warrior Head Football Coach Ken Karcher established The Coaches 20 when he began his tenure 10 years ago for those who wanted to support the college’s football program.
