That Pettine was a serious, legitimate coach, and that the team saw the whole Wilkerson thing coming... so much so, that they were somewhat reluctant to draft him. People have told me that the two best football books (outside of the famous Bill Walsh coaching bible() are "Collision Low Crossers" and "The System." Don't read mich any more but they both sound interesting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who actually takes the time to read Collision Low Crossers and still worships at the feet of Rex was definitely the kid whose Dad still sends birthday cards from Tucson with $5 in them. I've been telling @JiF to read that one for years. But, you know, University of Florida and all. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no scheme that can overcome bad interior line play. Conversely, good OL play makes a lot of average players and coaches look like savants And it doesn’t matter if a play is well blocked if the pass patterns don’t get receivers open or the play call for the situation doesn’t work. Good OL play wouldn’t make Gase look better. It would expose him further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard he doesnt want the spotlight anymore and is content being a coordinator. That’s cool. He seems like a capable coach, and I’m sure it was frustrating for him to be on that Rex carnival crew (iirc Bill Callahan was similarly distressed). I don’t know why more guys don’t embrace being career assistants. The payoff for being the head coach seems minimal by comparison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Avery Modine (also known as Tom Shane) is an American actor, activist and filmmaker, who rose to prominence through his role as United States Marine Corps Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket.

They never would have given him that full access if they knew what he'd actually write about, hence why it was such a brilliant account. The kid earnestly wanted to like the people in the building. That was clearly demonstrated in his writing. He walked in there hoping to chronicle a Super Bowl season and maybe be seen as cool in a testosterone-filled environment. The guys in there became his friends, at least at the time. But in a true Almost Famous moment in his career he stayed true to himself and still wrote the damn thing, being brutally honest in the process. That couldn't have been easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
