Going Ons in The World of Football
Dec 24th, 2008 by Coach DeLorm
So last week we saw the passing of the oldest member of the NFL football hall of fame, Slingin’ Sammy Baugh. I am sure that you got a chance to see the many highlights and stats that eh accumulated over his career. Most importantly he was a revolutionary in the fact that passed the football. That one act single handedly revolutionized the game of football. Besides passing he was a football coach’s dream player with his defensive skills and special team efforts.
This weekend saw its fair share of upsets and many great football games on virtually every level of play. Mount Union Football team regained its Division III championship and for what its worth a high school national champion was crowned. Not to despair though there are still plenty of bowl games to watch. I always like to see how the teams play in the college bowl games since they have not played in real action since the end of the regular season. I think the performance of a team in those circumstances has a direct correlation to how they are coached. Plus the bowls give the nation a chance to see some football players and teams that they would not normally get the chance to see.
On a side note, one of the great coaches of this generation has ended his career in Seattle. Mike Holmgren has coached his last game as head coach of the Seahawks. I have to say that he has 
impacted the NFL in many ways over the years. Think about all the coaches he has brought up the ranks and even the players the he has impacted over the years. He will be missed.
Well all you football coaches out there, have a Great Holiday and Be safe!
