How do sports' smartest minds get smarter? Where can they test theories without tipping off competitors?

One by one, day after day, they beat a path down A1A to Mile Marker 104, where the current Yoda sits in his restaurant, or down a side road from there to his five-acre compound in Tavernier.

Jimmy has opened his door and mind to anyone. Well, almost. Florida and Florida State coaches haven't called, he laughs, "probably because they know of my close association to Miami.''

Bill Belichick, Urban Meyer, and San Antonio Spurs general manger R.C Buford all made the trip.

If his national championship with the Hurricanes, his Super Bowls in Dallas and his playoff wins with the Dolphins are his record of greatness, this tramping of feet to his doorstep is the last stamp of his imprint on the game.

Now we know that Richt learned under Bobby Bowden. But will he seek out a higher knowledge of football and operations from a Cane great that is located in his backyard? Or does he even need this class to right this ship?

No. But your Mom and I had a conversation regarding the backseat of my truck and 9 months later your birth.
 
Righttt...thattt will fix this mess...because if the ole-liverspotted, sun bleached, lush Jimma happened to retire in Cleveland, Ohio or Buffalo, NY...they would all still take a yearly pilgrimage to get his thoughts on coaching. They go to drink beer, to fish, to eat some fried yellowtail, to talk some football, to stop-off on their way to Key West. The thought of ole pickled Jimma breaking out the white-board to discuss the RPO aboard his 35 foot Contender 7 miles off of Islamorada and unlocking Belichek's innrer greatness is a brilliant notion though. You sir are a moron as has been pointed out.

Very original and clever.

Much like Richt's offense is straight out of 1995, so are your "jokes".

Yeah but the **** still got sore throat now... Deep throat 2016

You can't get this kind of analysis and insight anywhere else in the world.

It's good to see that everyone has stepped up their game during my ban
 
Do you want another one? nystateofmind will get one in a minute if he keeps derailing my threads!

I liked JJ as a coach, and he's excellent on TV, but didn't F A G meat with JJ at some point in his dismal career at UM? That didn't really help the situation.
 
Prior to that six-year stint as head coach, Davis was the defensive coordinator under Jimmy Johnson from 1984 through 1988, where he also headed up recruiting and was responsible for the type of player the Hurricanes were reeling in.

While that in itself is partly instinct, give credit to a true understanding of one’s surroundings—taking note of what has worked in the past and following the blueprint and roads paved by others who have successfully gotten from Point A to Point B.

Beyond that, Davis was also a hard-*** that recruited no-nonsense, hard-*** kids—the biggest x-factor between yesterday and today. Whereby Golden rolled south armed with a 300-page binder and a methodology rooted in motivational tactics and coaching-up underachiever-types, Davis proved to be a mix of iron fist, football smart, an eye for talent and some full-blown forward thinking.

Golden was so determined to stick to his plan and didn't respect outside opinions that differed from that of his own to the point that when he did; Or if he ever did reach out to Johnson the writhing was already on the wall.

You should focus your efforts on these type of porsts vs the "mom" jokes.

You do yourself a disservice with the latter.
 
Johnson tells of a story, "Bill Belichick and I talked about this. You know he came down and we’d fish in the offseason together after he won his first Super Bowl. I said Bill, I said you know you're the only guy that’s got the hammer. I said, when you have that kind of success…you know these assistant coaches, they become very comfortable with these players. I had a running back coach, Joe Borski [PH]. It was after our first Super Bowl, and he was just wearing Derrick Lassic, this running back, out—a backup, and not saying anything to Emmitt Smith. This went on for a while. I said Joe, I said you got to coach Emmitt Smith. I said he’s the guy that’s going to determine us winning or losing a game. And Joe says he’s been there before. He knows how to do it. Come Sunday, he’ll do it. Well, that’s the attitude when you've had success.

I told Bill, I said you're the only guy that’s got the hammer for these assistant coaches or these players. You know, and the more success you have the more you've got to demand it out of them. That’s why it’s so hard on the head coach you know winning a first Super Bowl and then winning back-to-back Super Bowls. Terry Bradshaw you know he said coach, he said…before when we were starting out together he said if you would have stayed with the Cowboys that third year you would have let up right—veteran players? I said no. I said I was an SOB that second year, that second Super Bowl. I would have been a bigger SOB the third year. That’s the only way I could get it out of them."
