Jim Caldwell Jim Caldwell Jim Caldwell coached under Tony Dungy in Tampa Bay and Indianapolis and then succeeded him as head coach of the Colts. He used to write cards to his daughter, Natalie, when she was away at college. She was several states away, and they both had busy schedules so they didn’t get to talk very much. So every time she needed money, Coach Caldwell would send her a check, along with a note of encouragement and affirmation. He didn't write anything profound or mind-blowing, just things to encourage her. When Jim was finally able to visit her apartment, he saw all every single one of his cards taped to the living room wall. "All of a sudden, I realized I hadn't written her nearly enough," he said. And he realized how much a father's words can mean to his child. Encouragement is powerful. It has the potential to change people's attitudes, which can change how they react to situations, which can change the course of their days, their weeks, or even their years. There are plenty of forces in the world that discourage us, but not many people go out of their way to be encouraging. Be one of them. Red Right 88 The Cleveland Browns and Oakland Raiders were playing each other in the playoffs in 1981. The temperature was 4 degrees! The Browns were losing by 2 points with 49 seconds left in the game, and they were only 13 yards from the endzone – easy field goal range to win the game. With the clock stopped, the quarterback, Brian Sipe, talked with his head coach, Sam Rutigliano. They decided to run the play now infamously known as “Red Right 88”. The coach told Brian to, “Throw it into Lake Erie” unless the receiver was wide open. As Brian dropped back to pass, his eyes went to future Hall-of-Fame tight end, Ozzy Newsome. He thought Ozzy was open – [dramatic pause] – he wasn’t. The pass was intercepted by the Raiders and the Browns lost the game. The FIRST thing Coach Rutigliano did after the interception was run up to Brian, put his arm around his neck and said, “I love you, Brian.” Sam Rutigliano brought hope to Brian when times were difficult. He could have screamed at Brian for making the mistake that ended their season – he didn’t. He could have just ignored Brian and thought about what questions the media might ask him – he didn’t. He could have used DESTRUCTIVE words, but he chose CONSTRUCTIVE words and to put his arm around Brian to inspire him and help him to heal. .

He’s the only coach with at least 200 NFL wins in the regular season who isn’t in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Marty made bad teams good, and good teams better over the course of a coaching career that lasted more than 30 years. He has a better winning percentage than Chuck Noll, Tom Landry and Marv Levy – all Hall of Famers. “He not only won everywhere he went, but he won immediately everywhere he went,” wrote Ernie Accorsi in the forward to Schottenheimer’s autobiography. “That is rare, believe me.” The blemish in his resume is that he didn’t win the next-to-last game of the NFL season, let alone the last game. The easy comparison is to Chuck Knox, another fine coach from Western Pennsylvania who won a lot of games but never took that last step either. In other words, Schottenheimer never made it to a Super Bowl as a head coach. Even so, he ranks with the best in the coaching business in his time. Martin Edward Schottenheimer was born on September 23, 1943, in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. That’s about 22 miles from Pittsburgh to the southwest.

  • Ozzie Newsome Cleveland’S Own Helped Revolutionize Tight End Position
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 4 (2005) Ozzie Newsome Cleveland’s Own Helped Revolutionize Tight End Position By Roger Gordon (Originally published in The Free Press, Canton, Ohio, Aug. 1, 1999) Ozzie Newsome has a reason, it seems, to return to Canton every nine years. In the summer of 1981, Newsome began his fourth season as the Cleveland Browns’ starting tight end as the Browns defeated the Atlanta Falcons, 24-10, in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game. In the summer of 1990, Newsome began his final season as the Browns were blanked by the Chicago Bears, 13-0, in the HOF contest. This week, "The Wizard of Oz" will return to Canton once again. But instead of catching passes and making blocks on Pro Football Hall of Fame Field in Fawcett Stadium, the great tight end will be catching praise and making speeches right next door on the front steps of the Hall of Fame. Newsome is one of five men who will be inducted into the pro grid shrine two days before the "new" Browns tackle the Dallas Cowboys in the Hall of Fame Game, a contest that will be beamed across the country on a special edition of ABC’s Monday Night Football. Newsome was understandably excited when he first received the news of his induction. After all, he was beginning to look a lot like pro football’s version of Susan Lucci, the star of the soap opera All My Children, who went nearly two decades before finally winning a daytime Emmy Award, an honor many thought was absurdly overdue.
