Bill Belichick - You thought you knew him from his days in Cleveland. You saw the images on television. The grim, stern face, void of emotion, ratcheted with intensity. You saw the newspaper stories. The humorless, dogmatic responses. You thought you knew him, but did you? Did you really?

High School News & Notes


Spotlight

NFL Coach of the Year Runners-Up - Butch Davis, Cleveland Browns; Dick Jauron, Chicago Bears; Steve Mariucci, San Francisco 49ers; Bill Cowher, Pittsburgh Steelers all had successful seasons.

The Nature of a Quiet Man - Dick Jauron is by nature a quiet man. Not given to yelling, screaming or grand statements. But as head coach of the Chicago Bears, he was able to get his team to achieve grand accomplishments in 2001.

Clinic

The Swedish Air Force - When head coach Dr. Ted Kessinger arrived at Bethany College over 25 years ago, he brought an offensive philosophy in which the pass will set up the run. During this time period the Swedes have relied on the passing game to move the football.

Special Delivery - Missouri Western puts an emphasis on making special teams special. Many coaches have made the statement that special teams are one-third of the game, but actually as far as time spent on the field, they are less than that, but in impact they are more.

In the Line of Fire - Carroll Colleges’ pass rush defense. A good pass rush is at the core of good pass coverage. A defensive scheme must choose between maximum rush and maximum coverage. When the front four can pressure the quarterback on their own, this will allow the defense to commit seven players down the field to be in position to intercept the ball.
