Coach Ecks

The Raiders are expected to hire Andrew Janocko as their offensive coordinator, sources tell The Insiders. Janocko is close with new coach Klint Kubiak, who brought him to Seattle last year as QBs coach. One week after winning the Super Bowl, they’re together again in Las Vegas.

“Hear Me…” Mike Tomlin GOLD 🔥 “It’s not what you are capable of; it’s what you are willing to do. Plenty of people are capable. Fewer people are willing.” Potential is common. Commitment is rare.

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office. Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known. He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions. Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?" I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well." The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year. Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there. But at game time, the tires were flat. I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands. Now it was time to reset. "Shower well" means exactly this: • Watch the frustration circle down the drain • Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind • Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight. Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization. I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball. Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home. You can carry all of that through your front door. Or you can shower well. I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them. The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up. Either we win. Or we learn. The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day. So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well. Tomorrow is a new at-bat. What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

This story is now more than 25 years old and I have told it more times than I can count, but it hits very differently today. I was anchoring SportsCenter one afternoon and Lou Holtz was on the show. I was quite excited to talk with him, he had been an icon all of my life. He was very friendly, asking me all about myself as we walked toward the studio to record an interview. I told him: “Actually, Coach, it’s quite exciting, my wife and I are expecting our first child in the next few weeks.” He stopped dead in his tracks and put a finger up near my face. And I’ll never forget what he said. “Young man, the most important thing you can do for a child is make sure every day they know how much you love their mother.” And, just like that, he started walking again. Our daughter was born a month later, our son came two years after that. And I have thought about what Lou Holtz said to me that day about a million times since. RIP Coach, thanks for the best advice anyone ever gave me.

Greg Olsen’s advice? If a coach ever tells you to only play their sport… run 🚩

In 1988, Michael Jordan won Defensive Player of the Year AND averaged 35 ppg. No other player has ever won DPOY and averaged 30 ppg in a season. In fact, no other DPOY winner has averaged 30 in ANY season across their career. That same year, Jordan also collected every major individual accolade: •⁠ ⁠MVP •⁠ ⁠Defensive Player of the Year •⁠ ⁠All-NBA First Team •⁠ ⁠All-Star Starter •⁠ ⁠All-Star Game MVP •⁠ ⁠Slam Dunk Champion •⁠ ⁠Scoring Leader •⁠ ⁠Steals Leader To top it off, he didn't miss a single game. about.

@NFL_DovKleiman Stafford is only one that has won a Super Bowl.

The final QBs left in the playoffs. What do you notice?

This is a mind-blowing way of looking at the miracle of life.

“Losers assemble in little groups and complain about the coaches and players in other little groups. But winners assemble as a team,” Emlen Tunnell Winners choose the process over excuses.

LOVE THIS! #Gophers PJ Fleck on Minnesota being a life program and dealing with NIL: "I know agents are probably listening and watching, I'm not going to stop being the head coach, I'm not going to stop having relationships with my players. I'm not going to stop having relationships with our players' families, which is what everybody wants in business. And I'm not going to do that. I had a player walk in say, it's just business. I said it's not business here. There's a piece of business here, but this is not business. This is a life program."
