It’s a conclusion that doesn’t involve a biological sample or expensive sociological study. Where there is bread there is usually butter. Where there is smoke there is fire. Where there is booze ingested in great quantities there is the Chief Troll. And where there’s great NFL head coaches (key word here: great) there’s a decided absence of loudmouth donkeys.Hell, look at CHFF’s list of the 10 greatest coaches in history. Landry? Walsh? Shula? Gibbs? They were more like professors than punks. Lombardi? Yeah, he had a rough edge. But he was a task master who celebrated his style after his great victories, not before. Then there’s the most successful coaches of recent vintage here in the Look-at-Me Era, guys like Belichick and Dungy. The former avoids the spotlight better than Whitey Bulger. The latter is so soft-spoken they should name a hearing aid in his honor.
