The NFL Coaching Career of Marty Schottenheimer

Coaching philosophies differ all over the world, from one sport to another. They are the central foundation to any good coach’s success in his/her respected programs. A coach’s philosophy does not only guide and lead the other members of the staff in the right direction, but it also allows each athlete to know what is expected of them, and how they should behave. By being aware of a coach’s philosophy, the athlete is fully responsible for his/her actions both on and off the field of play. In the words of the great Nick Saban, "It 's about what you control, every minute of every day. You always have to have a winning attitude and discipline, in practices, weight training, conditioning, in the classroom, in everything. It 's a process."

Florida State only won four games in a three year stretch before Bowden came along in ‘76. After taking the reins at Florida State, Bobby immediately got to work transforming the Seminoles into the team that it is today. Over the years he has recruited many star athletes to come play football for Florida State including dozens of All-Americans, two Heisman Trophy winners and many star athletes that would also become stars in the NFL.

The University of Nevada Reno’s Football program officially started fifty years ago in the October of 1966. At the same time the team was established, Mackay stadium was built which seated only 7,500 people at the time. After numerous amounts of renovations, the stadium now seats 26,000 people and the football games are very loud and exciting. Being a football player and student myself, I get to hear what other people outside the football program perceive of us as around campus when we win, lose, or just in general about the football program. Most comments and accusations I have heard have been false and negatively based. What most people do not see is the hardwork and dedication it takes to be apart of the football program and the impact it has on the coaching staff, the community, and also, the inseparable bond it creates between the players.

The team lost its game the next week to the Pittsburgh Steelers and has had only one playoff appearance since then, a 36-33 loss to the Steelers in 2002. That was after the team left town, becoming the Baltimore Ravens and then reappeared as an expansion team in 1999. The Browns have had only two winning seasons since then and seven head coaches. Many NFL experts blame a lack of stability in the franchise for its poor showing. An article in sportingnews.com noted poor first round draft picks the team has had, mentioning linebacker Craig Powell, linebacker Mike Junkin, running back William Green, running back Trent Richardson, and others.

In 1957, Brown was selected to join the Cleveland Brown squad and immediately joined the team’s training camp. Despite most professional football players taking the time to adjust the high level of play of the NFL, Brown quickly adjusted and made his presence felt. This showed another important quality of coach ability that Jim Brown possessed. Jim got better each game, day, week and season. His ability to be receptive to instruction, taking criticism and challenges to improve was outstanding. In 1958, Brown won the rushing title for the 1,527 yards he ran and tied the single touchdown record with 18. As years went by, Jim continued the onslaught, rushing on the ground and catching long passes into the end zone as teams watched. Between 1958

Pete Rozelle was the greatest commissioner National Football League had, and he was not even the first or second choice for the job, but before being named commissioner Rozelle had a distinguished youth. Officially named Alvin Ray Rozelle, was nicknamed “Pete” by his favorite uncle, who just like his father, always supported Pete’s interest in sports and the outdoors. As a high school student he played basketball and tennis and was the sports editor of his school paper, and worked at the Long Beach Press Telegram newspaper. He also left his home to serve our country in the U.S. Navy in WWII, when he returned home to Los Angles he enrolled to Compton Community College in 1946. During his time there he worked part-time for the Los Angeles Rams as a public relations assistant, which lead him to meet and impress Pete Newell, head coach of the University of San Francisco Dons basketball team. Pete Newell was so impressed by Pete Rozelle he was able to help arrange for him to get a full time scholarship to work at USF.

Born in Toledo, Ohio, one of the most energetic and smartest coaches to ever step onto a sideline, this man is Jim Harbaugh. Son of Jack Harbaugh who spent a majority of Johns childhood coaching at the University of Michigan before moving out to California for a different job. Growing up around the team Jim had the opportunity to get close with the coach, a man named Bo Schembechler. Already having a relationship it really was no surprise when Bo started recruiting one of the top high school arms in the country in Jim's final year of high school to come and play quarterback for the University of Michigan. Of course Jim accepted the scholarship offer and packed his bags to move back to Michigan.

Clyde Hart was Baylor's head track and field coach, he was born in1935, and he is the director of track and field at Baylor University. Hart's nearly five decades of leadership has seen Baylor track and field reach monumental heights while earning a world-wide reputation as "Quarter-Miler U." Hart retired as head coach for the Baylor track program on June 14, 2005 after 42 years with the program. He coaches some of the best athletes who hold the world record and won Olympic gold medals. Some of the athletes coach Hart coached were very good and made it to the higher level.

Joe Kennedy, an assistant head coach at Bermenton High, has been under some fire from the district. Kennedy as he always does, assembles himself and sometimes other players to begin a prayer at the fifty hard line. However, he has insisted on numerous occasions that his prayers are not intended to attract attention or to preach the word of the lord. But to merely create a sort of unification amount the players after the games. As team captain Ethan Hacker stated. " What he does brings us all together no matter how much we despise each other." So why should the district be bothered by a small group of players who willingly decide to participate in prayer ? Even in the NFL, players gather around each other before and after games to sing a prayer.

When I first started playing football for Coach Abrams he always seemed he was the kind of coach who never got mad or yelled at you. He is a coach who truly cares for everyone of his players and wants us to be highly successful. If there was someone not doing something right he would never yell at them or get mad he would help them and show them the right way, he would teach and explain to them how to do it right, as if they were his own child that he would want to succeed. As you read this you will see that coach never was the type of man or coach to get mad or yell. One day I learned about coach Abrams if you aren't paying attention or talking and not listening, he will get mad and yell and it shows he cares for his players.

Gordon Bowden was born in Topeka, Kansas. When he went to college he moved to California to attend The College of Oceaneering to pursue his dream of being a commercial diver. Gordon went through the accelerated program, where he finished college in seven months and he was top in his class. He earned a certificate that would usually take a person two and a half years to finish. “I had to go to college six days a week for seven months straight, and lived off of rice cakes, and carrot sticks because I couldn’t work full time. It was really tough,” Gordon said. Right after he graduated college he was offered a job at Muldoon Marines.

The coach of a senior football club is a leader of men and can be an intimidating figure to younger players. They are stuck with a challenge of motivating 20 odd people each week, keeping it fresh and coming up with different ways to motivate players can be difficult. As the head coach they will know which players can motivate themselves and don’t need any extra treatment to get them going. Where as others may need a bit more extra motivation to get them focused on the job at hand. They have to keep their speeches fresh as hearing the same thing every week just doesn’t cut it and players will get used to hearing the same thing every week and it will not have any meaning or feeling to them. If the team is losing every week by a large margin,

Coaching a football team can be and become very stressful. Coaches normally strategize and research other teams that they previously played or have not played, but becoming aware of their many technigues used on the field. The coach can also make the wrong call that would interfer with the plan that they originally set out to accomplish. The coaching staff have to be on one accord when drafting players for their team, if the coach put the wrong group of players together, it could destroy the team as a whole.
