It's desperation, really, when you see players try to coach a rookie quarterback. It only adds to the confusion.

It's gotten worse and worse, and the coaches and personnel people are more and more willing to take huge men that are grossly overweight, and just hope that size will take care of everything else.
coach guys management partner though
It's unfortunate looking, and it's unfortunate for their health. These guys are shortening their lives. But everybody's a partner in it. It's not as though it's just a player. It's the coach and the management and, in a sense, the league.

people coaching criticism
People thrive on positive reinforcement. They can take only a certain amount of criticism and you may lose them altogether if you criticize them in a personal way... you can make a point without being personal.

coach coaches corps developed football head james jim top trappings win
I know he has only one thought in mind, and that is to win football games. Some of the other trappings of being a head coach are just not important to him and I would think that's what they need. That's the way Don James was and the way Jim Owens was. They were top football coaches who developed an esprit de corps and a sense of purpose, and that's what counts.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. The challenge and the camaraderie with players and coaches, no one experiences anything like that but in team sports, especially football.

Notre Dame is very difficult because the expectations and the impatience of the alums is overwhelming, ... They want it to be like it once was and I'm not sure it ever will be.

eight help last maybe seven year
Don't look at his last game, or the one before that, or before that. Go back seven or eight games, or maybe a year or two, if you want to try to see tendencies, and even that won't help you.

Brady is at the top of his game now. He knows what works and what doesn't work. I suspect he'll be more directly involved in what they do, and this will even further stimulate him.
editors reach whether
We were only able to reach editors intermittently. Some we didn't even know where they were or whether they were all right.
balance defense england near stand super
Could New England stand up to the Steelers defense of the '70s? No chance. And I don't think they had near the balance the 49ers had during (the Super Bowl) years.
