  • OAKLAND RAIDERS HEAD COACH JACK DEL RIO Opening
    OAKLAND RAIDERS HEAD COACH JACK DEL RIO Opening Statement: We talked about coming into this ballgame about their ability to feast on turnovers; it’s a big part of what they’ve done to start the year. Definitely one of the ‘must’ coming in is to protect the ball [and] take it away ourselves, we end up minus four today. Clearly, that was one of the biggest factors of the game; I mean, usually is. Minus fours, not many people winning with minus four. We had two guys: one didn’t finish, one didn’t ever make it. Jamize [Olawale] with the hamstring on the long run that got called back and Seth [Roberts] [who is] sick. Found that out on the bus ride over. Left him active with hopes we can get some fluids in him and have him appear, but he never was able to make it. Those are the only things that were brought to my attention. Got off to a great start. Looked like we were going to have a good day, but offensively, it came out right down the field, had a fourth down attempt and got it, and went ahead and finished off the drive and got a touchdown there. Then, defensively went out and did a nice job of getting them stopped, and we had a good start to the game. Then we continued to play, and the end of the day, we look up, and we’re only 3 of 13 on third down. I would imagine a couple of those came on that first drive, so that’s not real good.

    “Best for whom? Identifying your best practices through strategic experimentation.” Chris Rider Filene Center for the War for Talent – Research in Action Univ. of Texas, Austin September 27, 2018 3 points. 1. There are no uniform best practices – only what is best for us here and now. 2. Typical implementations do not produce credible evidence of what is effective. 3. Strategic experimentation does. What is a best practice? Always effective? Best where? More often than not? For whom? Probably better than alternatives? When? A method or policy that is taken-for-granted as effective. “Best” might be inferior? 1. Evidence from one context might not generalize. 2.

  • Tomlin Latest Minority Fellowship Grad to Join Head-Coaching Ranks; Makes It a Foursome with Edwards, Lewis & Smith
    TOMLIN LATEST MINORITY FELLOWSHIP GRAD TO JOIN HEAD-COACHING RANKS; MAKES IT A FOURSOME WITH EDWARDS, LEWIS & SMITH The NFL MINORITY COACHING FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM keeps producing head coaches. In 2007, it will be MIKE TOMLIN, new head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers who is only the third head coach in the past 38 years for the club. Tomlin interned with the Cleveland Browns in the summer of 2000 when he was the defensive backs coach of the University of Cincinnati. He joins three other minority coaches who partook in the fellowship program who are now NFL head coaches – HERM EDWARDS of the Kansas City Chiefs, MARVIN LEWIS of the Cincinnati Bengals and LOVIE SMITH of the Chicago Bears. These four make up the majority of the six African-American head coaches in the league this year. The NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, instituted in 1981, provides training-camp positions for minority coaches at NFL clubs. Nearly 1,000 minority coaches have participated in the program since its inception. Tomlin definitely feels that the fellowship prepared him for his new job. “The coaching fellowship gave me an opportunity to learn what I needed to do if I wanted to coach in the NFL,” he says. “As a head coach, I plan to utilize the fellowship to the fullest to give others the same opportunities that were afforded to me.” Tomlin recently promoted Steelers defensive line coach JOHN MITCHELL – the first African-American assistant coach to be a defensive coordinator in the Southeastern Conference when he was at LSU in 1990 – to be the Steelers’ assistant head coach.

  • Active Statistical Leaders Heading Into 2001
    “REAL” JOBS Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback TOMMY MADDOX once pitched insurance policies before he got a job throwing footballs. JOSE CORTEZ of the Kansas City Chiefs, the only NFL player in history born in El Salvador, was once a roofer. And everybody knows that 2001 NFL MVP KURT WARNER once stocked groceries. Indeed, a surprising number of NFL players had “real” jobs before they came into the league. “Football is a blue-collar man’s game,” says former Washington Redskins cornerback DARRELL GREEN. And maybe that’s why the league is filled with so many former “blue-collar” workers. Following is a list of “real jobs” previously held by some NFL players: PLAYER, TEAM CAREER(S) David Akers, Philadelphia Substitute teacher; waiter James Allen, Houston Worked at Houston recording studio Mitch Berger, St. Louis Pumped gas in Canada Jose Cortez, Kansas City Roofer Mark Dixon, Miami Golf course lawn maintenance Jay Feely, Atlanta Financial consultant Ray Jackson, Cincinnati Wal-Mart sporting goods employee Michael Lewis, New Orleans Budweiser truck driver Tommy Maddox, Pittsburgh Insurance salesman Fred McCrary, New England Corrections officer David Patten, New England Landscaper, electrician, truck loader Nathan Poole, Arizona Youth counselor Jeff Saturday, Indianapolis Electrical supply company Al Wallace, Carolina Public school assistant principal Kurt Warner, St. Louis Stocked groceries OTHER JOBS Football takes up a lot of their time, but that has not prevented a good number of NFL players from preparing for life after the game by jumping into some other lines of work even as they “moonlight” on the football field. For example, Philadelphia Eages cornerback TROY VINCENT – the 2002 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year – is a full-fledged offseason entrepreneur.
