Thumbs up Great Coaches

My take is that a great coach prepares for the unexpected even if the unexpected becomes obvious. Say you have that running coach you prep to stop him all of a sudden he is passing every down, make the adjustment and stick to your game plan. Great coaches can find the greatness in every player/base and assign it to work with it's strengths and place it o the field and totally disguise it's weaknesses and this can be a philosophy for an entire team. Even in the eye of defeat a great Coach along with his team will play until the last snap know that anything can happen if either he or his opposition makes that 1 mental mistake. A great Coach will make pre and post game adjustments to be better prepared for the next game in win or defeat. A great coach will find a way to use that 20 yarder and turn base, the speedster, the slow but consistant TE base, etc....and design a game plan that works with what he has at that moment, but they are also eyeing where the need for improvement MUST be made. A great Coach is always open for suggestions and forever generous with their gifts of EF wisdom as well as life's jewels. A great Coach moves on mentally/physically to the next games preparation(tossing bases/re-tweaking/or ordering bases) these rituals along with the wisdom from past games is combined and properly applied to who stands before their team in competition next

I am still learning every day from GREAT Coaches in the EFLworld...Everydayflg$ flg$ flg$ flg$
