Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always felt before Paul Brown, coaches just rolled the ball out onto the field.
For some reason the football coach of a major college program is seen as one of the leaders of the campus. And some way we have to let our young people know that that leader can look like anyone.
I could finish my career being a defensive coordinator and say, 'Hey, he's Mickey Andrews.'
I got an old school coach who's more of a teacher than a coach.
It's not any one person. It's not any one coach. It's the team.
Name one experienced coach anywhere in the world that would hand over their playbook to the other team. Unless it's a fake playbook, it just doesn't happen.
I have tremendous respect for coach Gary Kubiak. I love that guy.
Who is the ally of the coach? Who's going to write, 'Man, that was a well-coached game.' Players win, coaches lose.

John Wooden made a name as a coach but also a life as a mentor.
