Being head coach of the Helias football team was Chris Hentges' dream job.

He was an All-American for the Crusaders in the 1980s, playing for his father, Ray. And when he decided to become a football coach, Helias was where he wanted to be. But there's more to life than following your dream.

"It came down to priorities and balance," Hentges said Monday night after announcing he was stepping down after five years as Helias' head coach.
