Um, you know, and the sort of thing that I talk about is I feel extremely lucky that that's how it worked out because it could have been anyone.

And in many ways, Roger Staubach to me represents the best possible here.

You could have picked OJ Simpson.

That would have been terrible.

Absolutely.

Yes.

You know, you know, yeah.

Well, okay.

That's never changed, but coaching does have more impact in football than almost any other sport because it's still a hierarchical thing.

I mean, the fact that like every single play is being not 98% of plays are being dictated by somebody in a booth transmitted down to the sideline, you know, so, so it's, they really can control it.

But to me, the more fascinating thing is this, I would say in, in practice, uh,

Football coaches have actually changed quite a bit.

There's a lot of coaches in the NFL now.

I can't really say that I remember a guy like that when I was young, especially among kind of the younger offensive minds, you know, the Rams, the Vikings, and these things.

However, the caricature of the football coach never changes.

The idea that you're a big sports movie guy, the way a football coach is presented in a sports movie does not waver.

It doesn't matter if he's presented positively or negatively.

they still have the same central qualities, only a used car sale.

That's the only job that has more of a shared idea of what the personality of the person is like compared to the football coach.

You know, I, I mentioned how, like, you know, there was, you know, there, there, you know, there's the movie, all the right moves.
