...coaching job could provide ‘special’ advantages”
This is really good with lots of good quotes, like this one from Mike Westhoff
“An offensive or defensive coordinator is being proactive. He’s looking to what he wants to do series after series and play after play,” Westhoff said. “But a special teams coach and a head coach have to be reactive. They have to look at a situation and say, ‘OK, what do I do now? What’s coming up? What if we get it? What if we don’t? Do I punt? Do I go for it? What do I do?’
“A special teams coach does that all day, every day. They’re usually the best at handling situations and managing the clock. A lot of coordinators, I don’t even know if they know the game is 60 minutes. Some of them don’t know shit about it. And there’s some head coaches that that’s not their strength. They may be a great play caller, but that’s not their strength to manage the game.” |

Too often, we have been been lifted up high, only to have our high hopes kicked out from under us. Too often, our preseason expectations for fielding a competitive team have been burst asunder. So often, in fact, that many of us now live in despair, devoid of hope, afraid to believe that things will ever change for the better. We have grown bitter, angry, and resentful at our continued ineptness to put together a team we can be proud of.
There is something different about Joe Judge. He believes in himself. He has a plan. He believes in his plan.
He is not a politician babbling about how he will make the world better knowing he never will. He has stated what his plan is, and he is setting about doing exactly what he has said he would do. That honesty and belief is exactly what inspires confidence not only in the BBI community, but also among those who hired him, and also among other NFL players, both past and present.
