The best profile of the coach I’ve seen yet. Wow. Don’t skip this.
Stover is 41, and before every game he shakes Caldwell’s hand and tells him, “It’s a pleasure to be here with you, Coach.” Stover has been in the league long enough to notice things, and not take anything for granted.
He says his new teammates have faith in one another, the kind of belief he sees in teams that win close games and go to the Super Bowl. He says Caldwell is at the root of it.
“You can inherit [a good team] and still go 1-15,” Stover says. “It’s a matter of getting the right people, getting the right mind frame, being consistent yourself and creating an atmosphere that can be a winner. And he has done that.
“He’s a good man. The NFL is about players, and he gets that. He understands his role is to direct and guide and to keep the guys focused on the task at hand. The players absolutely respect him, and he’s created a great, level-headed team. A team that doesn’t blink.”
